I have a lot of trouble considering anything from polls/surveys being accurate, considering in my 30 years, I’ve never been asked for my input on one.

Who are they asking? (No way it’s a curated group who’s likely to answer in a specific way to create drama in the media right?)

This line of thought always amuses me. “It’s democrats faults for not stopping republicans from being horrible people”

Oooooorrrrr maybe it’s republicans fault… for being horrible people?

“It’s the fire departments fault my house burned down, not the guy who lit it on fire.”

So I’m a die hard apple boi as well, but I’ve been getting into Linux a bit lately (to replace my windows machine that was solely for gaming)

I think the main reason I still stick with Apple over Linux for most things is that Linux requires more tinkering.

Every time I wanna play a new game I need to try out different versions of protons until it works. When I need a new software, I have to go google if I CAN have it, how to get it, or to find out what exact version I should use for my distribution, etc.

Linux, as impressed with it as I am so far, is like having an old classic car I’m fixing up. It’s a hobby. I need to dedicate time to learning, maintaining, and optimizing my experience. So it’s great for my hobby of gaming!

My Mac just works when I need it to work, no tinkering, no second thoughts. It’s the boring but reliable modern car I take on long trips. I just use computer, get work done, without roadblocks I have to google derailing me every 10 mins.

I’m all for Linux, I’ve very much enjoyed it so far and will continue learning, but as a “normie” using Linux, the simplicity of Mac is often missed.

The reason I immediately grabbed the iOS 18 beta. I can FINALLY lock all my degen apps 😅

You can def export your subs. I did it when I set up freetube originally. So it should just be a question of if the other program will import them.

Unless I die tomorrow and never get to use all the money I suffered for now to use later.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a balancing act. But there’s no promise I’ll even make it to retirement. So I’m going to enjoy my now, just in case.

Who’s working “maybe” 3 hrs a day… all the programmers I work with every day are on 10 hr days right now……

But I’ve seen enough of your comments in this thread, so I’m super sure you “know a guy” who will prove little ol me wrong.

Why can’t I make a thread? Why can I only use one emote? Why can I sometimes see a message on my phone but not on the computer? Why is there an “old” and a “new” teams app? Why does each one constantly ask me to use the other one? Why are there god damn Mabalene video filters, but yet my god damn calendar won’t sync properly with outlook. Why when I update my picture, does 1/3 of my team see the new one, 1/3 sees the old one, and 1/3 just sees my initials. I’d continue but my thumbs are tired.

Teams actively makes communicating with my team more difficult and I hope it dies so soon.

Are you aware that slack has a back button? Makes getting back to that original channel a breeze. Even works with thumb buttons on my mouse like pretty much every browser.

Or ctrl + k and you can just type part of the channel name/person name etc to quickly go back to it.

Also just a emote to acknowledge a message without spinning up a thread is my go to. Just a 👍”yep I see this”

Yeah I have almost no apps on my Home Screen. Just one page of widgets, and 3 pinned to the bottom.

Otherwise if I want an app I just use spotlight. Quick swipe down and the first letter or 2 of any app and I’m in. I almost never touch the App Library.

This prob comes from using spotlight so much on Mac as well though.

As someone who worked for Activision, in QA, on major CoD titles, I guarantee you that wasn’t QAs fault.

I can’t even count the amount of bugs my team found, documented, and raised a hell of a stink about, that still went live.

Major bugs like that in live are not due to QA missing them. It’s due to the rediculous pace ATVI makes the team put out content. Doesn’t matter if QA reports something, if the devs are not given the time needed to fix it.

GOTTA GET THAT NEW BATTLEPASS OUT!!!

I’m super happy to see this. Just a few years ago, I was working as QA in a studio adjacent to this group. (We had our own QA, but worked alongside the activision group) and god they needed to do this.

So happy to see them fighting back. I hope the rest of the employees who don’t get fucked QUITE as hard as QA join too.

I haven’t had one myself for a while, really anymore I just see it when watching vids on the flip phones or tablets it seems.

But android gave me the reason to switch (the messy apps) years ago, and apple hasn’t given me a reason to switch back yet.

It very well might be fine now, but until apple does something similar enough to push me to switch again, I won’t know haha.

It really just depends on if you prefer customization or reliability.

For example, I’m an apple boi because I like that every app in the store is made specifically for an iPhone (which is easy for devs to do since there’s little variation). It leads to better maintained and performing apps because devs can optimize for the device it’s running on.

On android, you have way more choices, which some people prefer. But for myself, I get really annoyed when I launch an app and it fills 95% of my screen, but not all of it, because my phone is slightly taller then the 2000 other variations out there. It’s much harder for a dev to optimize their app when there are so many variables to account for on android.

Neither phone (or company for that fact) is better. They serve different demographics of users is all.

It’s called having a conversation…… someone says something. Someone else asks a question to stoke the conversation….

And like. Context as well. yes it is a diff conversation if they worked 45 years min wage vs 45 years as a mega corp ceo lol. It def is a valid question for someone to understand the conversation that’s happening.

No ones being hostile by trying to get context to continue the conversation that was totally friendly until they got butthurt for some weird reason.

I think they mean the average person isn’t going to take the time to check 20 different contacts apps in the store to find the perfect one, then do it again with every other basic app on their phone.

They’re just gonna use the default app 99%

My dads iPhone 8 is finally starting to lose some of its battery life. But it’s overall performance is totally fine.

I think a lot of people forget that most humans doesn’t need 100000000000gb of ram and 20trillion gbs of storage.

I’m using 65gb of storage, including the os… on my baseline 128gb model.

Most people aren’t editing 8k videos on their iPhones lol. They’re sending a text message.

Ooh. Bloodborne too me years due to this…. Better times back then lol 10/10 would suffer again.

“It’s your fault your house burned down, because you didn’t stop me from burning it down”

IMO, they don’t want to take it off the table. They use drama to stir up their voters. If “they” solve the crisis on the border, now they can’t use the “boarder crisis” as a tool anymore.

Just my guess.
