I get the appeal of iOS when everybody around you uses it as well. But in my personal bubble, most people don’t and I find myself using my 14 Pro more as a stand-alone “computer”, rather than a interconnected device amongst others in the ecosystem. Thing is, and it doesn’t matter what anybody tells you: iPhones suck hard at this. You know how modern games come bare bone and will sell you everything as DLC’s? This is how iOS feels like.

Despite this, I actually like this device. But the idea of having to spend more and more and more to have a enjoyable experience frightens me. It’s the reason why I avoided getting a MacBook so far, instead opting for a Windows Laptop and simply dealing with the inconvenience of transferring data via cable or 3rd party software.

Firefox unfortunately doesn’t, but at least Safari does… as well as a few other extensions.

Can you elaborate?

Smartphones have gotten so good, it’s pretty much neck in neck between my 14 Pro and D5300.

It’s old tech, but pressure cookers are really cool as well.

I mean, you don’t have to get somebody’s humor, but it’s funny because of how shocking and absurd it is. The same goes for some racist jokes imo.

I have a feeling that this has a lot of room for individual interpretation. I’m aware that the world out there is insanely hostile towards trans-people, it’s just that… asking things about the LGBTQ+ -communities consensus or what the thoughts on the scientific community are… feels kinda like a minefield tbh.

It’s funny how unapologetic they are about it, but they know their users are hooked and don’t give a shit.

Totally would’ve continued using my Pixel 2 beyond the 3,5 year mark, but yeah, software support and security updates are kinda important. Also the next to impossible to replace battery didn’t make things any easier, usually I would have replaced it and passed the phone to somebody like my grandparents who only use it for WhatsApp calling.
