They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.

My two cents is there’s a structural issue that’s converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you’ll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.

I haven’t had issues running a few things I needed within a VM. However, those tasks aren’t demanding.

Looking at you “iCloud for Windows”.

Eh screw it, thine to break the redditless streak.

H-how did this meme clear up a confusion I have with ** pointers after all these years?

They’re just pointer pointers!

Dang, that is so cool C can do that.

Oh god, I was blind to them. The fuckers are every where.

Ack! another one.

I take a train to the city, and I bike to the station whenever I need to go into the office. The amount of disabled folk I see that could not transport themselves otherwise because a car is requisite would shock you.

The point of their community is improving public transport so it isn’t as car centric and a requirement to participate society.

I don’t see exactly how that’s “commie” to strive for a more democratic society.

Til community didn’t exist before Ford’s invention.

Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That’s a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That’s before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.

I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to “dangerous” behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.

I agree, but I’m just spitballing why others could potentially see Meta joining the verse as a positive.

I think it’s the impulse to have the Frediverse grow, but it’s a bit of a Trojan horse innit?

Oh wow, I didn’t even consider checking for updates while I’m working from home.

What did the Lemmy meme go nuts on Twitter or something?

Don’t go on that place so I may be put of the loop.

Boxers-while-working gang rise up.

Deal breaker, not at all. Though, back when I had an iPhone I knew immediately I’d have to have another “Which of the five messaging apps will I need to preen through” conversations, since iPhone users in the US fall back on iMessage mostly.

Now, on the flip-side, what was extremely annoying about using the fruit device was assumptions others made about me in techie circles. Some of which appeared within these responses. That I was tech illiterate, vain, or a fan-boy of some sort. It simply did what I needed while carrying wonderful resale value and support times.

You can ‘sideload’ apps, but your phone needs to check in with a computer every ten days.

Launchers are no where to be seen. I’d imagine if you jailbreak it you could.

Custom roms: nah that ain’t happening on an iPhone. Which is a shame, it’s the best hardware in the space, and iPadOS, for example, is currently holding back the tablets.

Piracy: You can run transmission as a cli on an iPad.

I’m on a Pixel right now and it’s pretty much the same experience. I nearly missed a time-sensitive job offer had I not been using my iPad a few moments before going to bed. My phone didn’t serve the notification nearly all day despite being given permission to do so!

I mean, it’s how I made friends when I was a child. I suppose the time crunch is what makes it seem impossible.

So wait, if they can revert any changes then how are things being harmed?

I spent a decade as am automotive locksmith, and watching things regularly fail on cars that passed through my shop has made me terrified with the touch screen. I cannot imagine replacing one of those and how easily first parties can lock replacement behind getting it done at one of their shops.
