That’s definitely not true. Just yesterday I was eating a salad (with chicken and bacon and cheese even) and I had an older coworker pass by and grumpily tell me he didn’t eat rabbit food.

It’s not though. Even though we’d prefer a different candidate, everyone who isn’t a complete moron has at least agreed that we’re gonna stick with Biden because he’s better than the alternative and it’s not even close.

Wow. Apparently you have the time to spew stupid shit, but not the time to back it up with examples. How convenient.

Looking at your replies in this thread, it seems like you care more about this issue than I would bet the vast majority of actual iPhone users do. Going off on unwanted, unhinged rants for basically no reason and …what’s that phrase the kids are using these days, letting Apple live rent free in your head like that doesn’t seem like a particularly healthy or enjoyable way to live your life, but I guess if it works for you, so be it. Personally I’d like to never have to read another one of your rants on the topic again, but I guess that’s what the block button is for.

Maybe one of these days these idiots will figure out that being a mindless anti-fanboy is every bit as obnoxious as being a mindless fanboy in the first place, but I’m not holding my breath. Until then I’ll take my downvotes for pointing out simple facts like the badge of honor they are.

Good thing nobody is forcing you to buy an iPhone then.

Drop the condescending attitude please. I know all about RCS. I know all about Apple’s ecosystem and what they choose to allow on it. Compliance with standards is still a part of feature set I was referring to. Apple wants to lock people into their hardware and software. This is a known fact. You can like it or not, but there’s still more to the differences between green bubbles and blue ones and if you continue to act like there’s not then you’re the ignorant one in the conversation.

Except it’s not the color, it’s the feature set that the colors represent.

And sometimes bicycles are painted red.

People use it like everyone fucking has the innate knowledge of every acronym out there

Or, you know, people use it like everyone fucking has the ability to use google.

I disagree, back in the 60s it was totally possible to find a decent paying job, have a couple of kids, buy a house to store them in, get a new car every few years, send your kids off to school, go on vacations and retire at an age old enough to enjoy some time with the grandkids. Now that really isn’t a reality for the average person.

I guess thanks for the reminder that not all batshit insane nutjobs vote Republican?

He’s extremely well known in the right to repair community. His “day job” is running a repair service for laptops and phones, mainly Apple devices, and he has always been at the forefront of trying to keep Apple in check as much as one person can be. To say he’s a decent guy is an understatement.

I just don’t know why they have to go with such weird colors for this and the zero. I’d take black, white, grey, or even an actual red or blue or really any other primary color over these pastel offerings. I have almost no use for one of these but if it was offered in a normal color, I’d order one right away.

Yeah, a ratio means nothing if the bulk of the comments are only on a small portion of the posts. If 90% of the posts have 0 comments and the other 10% have 52.7 comments per post, that’s worth knowing.

Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…

I really wanted to love it, but I think it’s super boring. Everything feels so low stakes. And I guess the world could be deep and rich with lore or whatever, but as viewers, we’re not privy to any of that so it just feels so pointless and bland. Also the system somehow manages to feel both overly complex at times but also too simplistic at others.

I’m really not a fan.

I’ve always thought it was better to browse all and filter out things that don’t interest me rather than try and only subscribe to things that I already know I like. I end up finding communities and discussion that I never would have found otherwise, and honestly, I can’t fathom why that isn’t the default/most popular way of using aggregated sites like this.

It’s kinda like listening to the same 3 albums over and over again just because you already know you like that music vs just letting a station play and skipping the songs that aren’t working out for you.

Lemmy, as a whole keeps track of your upvotes and downvotes. There’s no algorithm, this is just a part of all of Lemmy.

Some apps choose to allow you to see it, and some apps don’t. There’s no boogie man that’s out there creating algorithms to try and “make karma a thing”.

Exactly, clearly that’s a subreddit designed for cavemen to discuss their disdain for temporarily halting their music and videos. Me No Pause!
