You know how in SciFi movies everyone has the same phone? This is why.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Huh, I always put that down to the fiction part of science fiction 😉 Can you imagine a scifi story where the lead says "oh, sorry, I can't send you this file cause you don't have a [brand device]"? 🤣

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure, a sci-fi comedy.

At some point they have to go on a quest to dig up the coder who wrote a piece of software that stopped working but it's so old nobody knows hpw to fix it anymore, so they need to do a National Treasure type adventure to find the journals and notes of the guy who wrote ImageMagick.

I'd watch that movie about planned obsolescence and shitty tech infrastructure growing ever-more-fragile.

I'll buy that for a dollar 😁

There will always be at least one person who doesn't.

I'll go live in a shack in the woods cut off from humanity before I ever give Apple a dime of my money.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes but the SciFi movies are not about people living in wood shacks so we don't see them.

[–] UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would like to see that sci-fi movie though

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 10 months ago

For all we know Locke is a SciFi movie about guy living in the year 2050 and refusing to use modern phones and cars due to privacy concerns.
