I do see it as a potential problem with moderation on Lemmy’s end. You have all of the users from Threads interacting with Lemmy and Kbin users. It’s possible there’s an influx of accounts on here that are trolling, and it becomes unmanageable to moderate everything on Lemmy’s side.

But Threads will have no problems with content moderation.

Intel Management Engine is also noted to be a backdoor, which is in the CPU itself.

The Purism laptop disables IME, or at least tries to from what I understand.

I love glasses, they add style. Contacts are good but I wouldn’t be a fan of having to do that every morning and night

Fuck spez

And thanks spez

Developers, developers?

Damn thank you! Didn’t even think of making my own keto pizza dough

oh shit these ribs are fucking bussin

I’m probably the odd one out, and I used to be infuriated by the idea that my phone didn’t have a headphone jack, but I got used to not having it.

I only use wireless headphones now, and I have a USB-C adapter I can use in case I do want to use an aux port. Have been tempted to buy some decent “Chi-Fi” wired earphones, I do miss higher quality sound.

It’s like that, because of the way it is

If you find that preferable, you’d love the Pixel then. You can turn it on and off as you please.

Also if you’re using an official Apple USB-C charging cable on an iPhone, you can expect that it will charge at full speed (overnight or not).

And if you’re at a friend’s house and they have any other Android phone on Earth, the fast charging cable that they use to resuscitate their own Android phone from 10% to 50% in 15 mins and will take your (much more pricey) iPhone 50 minutes.

And the overpriced iPhone cable that charges those iPhones fast, will charge any Android phone fast.

At the minimum, you should understand that you’re the one getting the shit end of the stick. Don’t explain how it’s so convenient for you to get the shit end of the stick, that’s what let’s manufacturers keep getting away with this anti-consumer bullshit.

I could believe that too tbh

Yeah, Steve Jobs was definitely an asshole, and he didn’t personally design any of his products, but he did know what direction to move things in and what consumers wanted in a phone. He was the first to put a truly usable portable touchscreen computer into our pockets with a phone in it, and every phone nowadays is basically just a reimagined, upgraded version of the first iPhone. The way we communicate is forever changed because of the iPhone.

But yeah iPhone’s are kind of the pinnacle of “how much can we fuck you over before you notice” now. All because of the little Apple on the back of the phone.

I believe it to a degree, but I think it’s also a problem because we can’t ever change their minds if we’re not talking with each other. If they’re stuck in a hate-filled bubble, they’re only going to enrage each other further and accept each other’s biases.

It’s a different story if they’re attacking other people based on their own beliefs, then they should absolutely be banned from the platform. And if enough of that happens, then at that point de-federation should be the option (which I guess is probably the stage we’re at)

Everyone should have a voice to be honest. Shutting them out completely won’t help, it just creates a bubble. As a human species it’s important for us to communicate.

But yeah there’s definitely more of them here unfortunately.

Or in my case, my Thinkpad T490 is absolutely brain dead and shuts itself down / crashes during idle sleep mode every time.

Similarly, my Yoga C930 battery drained in 2 days while powered off and fingerprint scanner stops working after waking from sleep.

Lenovo used to be good…

My foot’s already half way out the door. I have all my plugins and password manager ready to go when I end up making the switch.

The only annoying thing right now is, there’s no tab groups on Firefox, and Google sites like Gmail and calendar have a weird aesthetic behavior where scroll bars show up where they shouldn’t be. It’s like nails on a chalkboard but for my eyes.

I also really do like using GPay in Chrome on Mobile when it’s available but I’ll have to forego that, or just use it when I need to.

Sidenote, Google knows it’s coming too cuz they made their password manager much better, and released passkey support. The timing is too perfect, they want another reason for people to stay. Good thing I have my own password manager!

I dare them to fuck up Chrome. It’ll be the easiest switch of my life.

This app is gorgeous with Android Material You!

Accurate

Not to mention their proprietary built in apps aren’t that great. As a Windows user, doing anything to try and interact with any of the content on an iPhone (sync contacts, download photos, etc) was a huge pain in the ass. The amount of holes I had to jump through was so bad it must be intentional.

There’s a clear bias to only give good support to people who have macOS, my main PC is on Windows, and I don’t ever plan on buying a Mac. So it just means I will never own an iPhone again. They kind of dug themselves into a hole of this crappy walled garden and never thought to think it could also bite them in the ass.
