23 Aug 23. Ya, no ambiguity. /s

2023-08-23 is the way.

Honestly, I’d trust a vanilla iPhone over that hacked together mess you’ve got going there.

Dude is still simping for Musk. No sympathy.

Nothing about Saudi Arabia is pro-consumer.

I’m not defending anything, other than basic usage of the English language. I’m not saying Bluetooth is better, objectively or subjectively, than a wired connection. You’re free to prefer one over the other, but any preference is just that, a preference.

Don’t think you understand what objectively means.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Not objectively

They are going to answer with some stupid reasoning like removing the 3.5mm jack.

But truly Apple stance on right-to-repair really is their only non-defendable stance. And this is coming from an Apple fanboy.

Facebook is one of the biggest contributors to OpenStreetMap and makes lots of open source software.

I'd like to know more about this.

I'm certainly not trying to be an Apple apologist here, as iMessage has plenty to critique. But it bears consideration that iMessage falling back to SMS is a certain amount of openness, is it not?

Not an unfair complaint against Apple, but ignores Google's/Android's problematic "support" for RCS, and in this context of this comment seems to imply that What'sApp isn't "closed" like iMessage.

I heard once that the case for which instance (for any federated app, be it Lemmy or Mastodon etc) on which to sign up is to choose based on "administration" not subject. That is to say, it is better to experience the fediverse through moderation and other administrative decisions than it is to do so on a server that is "subject based." Thoughts?

 

Say what you will about reddit, at least an established subreddit was the place to gather on the topic, ie r/technology etc.

With Lemmy, doesn't it follow that similar communities on different instances will simply dilute the userbase, for example !technology@lemmy.ml and !technology@beehaw.org. How do we best use lemmy as a (small c) community when a topic can be split amongst many (large C) Communities?

This is an earnest question, in no way am I suggesting lemmy is inferior to reddit. I'm quite enjoying myself here.
