Seems about the same?

I downvoted it because it’s blaming the wrong entity; the real bad actor here is Apple.

The AltStore should be free and it should be available globally, but neither are possible thanks to Apple’s anticompetitive shenanigans.

Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.

The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.

If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…

Ah, you’re right! I evidently mixed up the expensive Apple accessories haha

My favorite post-Jobs keynote moment was the confused laughter when Apple triumphantly announced the price of the $699 Mac Pro wheels.

So disappointed they’re still doing the prerecorded presentations. The old live ones were so much more fun!

I can finally follow ZUCC on Mastodon, at last

In keeping with the Siri brand, Apple has to make sure LLM-Siri’s underlying model is bad at everything

At this point, I feel like Apple is just playing chicken with the EU. If this isn’t “gatekeeping” (ie, the thing the DMA is supposed to prevent), then I’m not sure what would be.

I just wish Signal had better history and backup features.

Yup. Lest we forget, Android is Linux-based, and it’s the most popular consumer operating system in the world.

Exactly! The great thing about Lemmy is that if your instance’s admins start doing stupid stuff you can just go to another instance.

As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

Well, to quote a classic film:

“Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.”

New Coke was the 80s, not 70s — they actually briefly brought it back as part of a Stranger Things tie-in. Super interesting to actually taste it.

I miss AskScienceFiction; it was always fun reading those in-universe answers.

There’s one here on LemmyWorld, but it’s pretty dead: [email protected]

Wow, the level of detail on this theme is really impressive!

As as aside, I didn’t realize that GTK had officially banned theming. That seems…dumb.

IIRC, my dad bought progressives from Zenni and said they were as good as the ones he got from an optician.

I remember people constantly asking for that to be a feature on Reddit, but I don’t believe it was ever implemented.
