Expected.

Really expensive over here, so people only buy them for status basically. Having an iPhone signifies that you’re well off enough to not worry about price.

I had a friend who said exactly this. She was just buying it to show off basically. She didn’t even believe me when I said the back was glass for some reason lol. And when she got it, she had to get used to counter-intuitive behaviour like the power button cutting a WhatsApp call. She did this multiple times on a call with me, it was pretty funny!

Another friend kinda regrets buying it now because he feels locked in to the Apple ecosystem.

Personally, I don’t think I’ll ever switch because F-Droid is a huge part of my phone experience. When my Pixel runs out of support, I’ll probably just root it.

It’s a great phone. Solid hardware, good software. Just not for me.

This makes it sound like you ate his shit…

I don’t get it

What are bottle episodes?

I think there’s a setting to bring back the buttons, if you want that.

Settings -> System -> Gestures -> System navigation

Next you’ll tell me you weren’t even born in this century!

I honestly never fancied musical episodes, but this was so well done, I loved it!

I mean, a lot of people who watch this probably don’t even know what Buffy is. I’ve never watched Buffy, it’s a pretty old show.

Is downloading people human trafficking?

100% of the crypto hate I see is from citizens of neocolonial states. You lord your control of the financial system over us and when something threatens it, it’s always delegitimised for any number of reasons.

Take your pick: scam, destroying the environment, eroding state power etc.

A decentralised system/society will need a value layer to transact. You think Visa should be in control of that?

Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it snake oil. I hope you never find yourself at the mercy of a government that persecutes you and imposes capital control so you can’t even run away with your money. If crypto existed when my people were literally being genocided, my parents would not have to end up in a new country with nothing to their name.

Why would I want a nation state to run on anything? The end of the nation state is the communist utopia!

I am for whatever erodes the illegitimate violence exerted by nation states to safeguard their parasitic domain. If it’s crypto, it’s crypto. If people not eating apples brought about their end, I would be out there burning orchards.

Why are the Lemmy devs asking for snake oil on their Donate page then?

Sitting comfy in a country where the financial system works for you elites is the real snake oil.

Socialism is actually full daddy-state.

Communism would be a stateless existence.

If I could replace my government with the EU, I would not hesitate.

No way that’s true. Most social media users are in Asia and Africa where Android is King!

Didn’t this game have a massive controversy over homophobia or something?

This was definitely an angry upvote for me.

Uninstall Linux. Get a MacBook. Go outside and touch grass. Fall in love.

This is a dark path you’re going down, youngling!

Edit: Linux nerds mad they don’t get any :) It’s okay bros, I don’t get any either.

Even as a crypto enthusiast, the web3 movement smelled like VC manure being dumped on a field hoping something grows.
