Everyone I know in tech uses android. People that want capable handheld devices choose android. People that want a basic device that does what the company says and nothing else go Apple. Even I suggest Apple to old people and luddites, it protects itself from them. Oh, and people easily manipulated by social pressures (OMG I need the right colored text bubble!) will deeply overpay for a subpar device.

No implications, it is pointing out facts about hardware (where one is objectively worse). OS is not relevant and was not mentioned. Brand was mentioned because that was the topic.

Yeah, good reason to not invade a country...

Honestly, I just want to click on a video and not have my feed instantly become every video on that topic in existence to the exclusion of all else...meanwhile, someone I am subscribed to doesn't show up on my front page when they put something out in a series I have watched 20 videos of.....gj

I looked it up in the Theseusaurus, they are the same.

Just ask chatGPT, it can solve capchas faster than a person. Set up a script and boom, no more capchas issues.

The line I have been hearing, and I don't like repeating it but you gotta know the talking points to counter them, is "he said he had every right to, but wouldn't stoop to the lows the dems would so he never acted on it".

It is stupid, but that is their logic/defense from what I am hearing....sad and weird.

I am so guilty of this!

Granted, if it is a new activity or hobby where rookies don't destroy gear, it makes sense to me. It lets me skip the constant upgrading as my skills increase.

I'll buy a zillion dollar airbrush and learn to use it, and feel incentivised to take care of it. I didn't do the same with my first Jeep when I got into offloading. My first one was a cheap junker that I could roll if I did a rookie move.

As for a slur for people like me....I dunno, whatever makes you feel superior I guess. If it is creative or funny enough, I'll happily adopt it and use it 👍

The devs may not be shitty, they just have to protect themselves from their government.

The CCP has been doing a pretty big cultural push the past few years. You will see more of it's as time goes on.

Nothing wrong with China and their culture, it is their vile government that is the issue. They were doing so well until Xi Xinpoohbear took over.

We have a factory up the road that is the lifeblood of the town it is in (taxes and community support, but also just families supported). I could quote the number of people that work there (around 400 I think), but that town of 10k people would would vanish without it. The population would turn on someone promising to shut down the factory that only employs 400.

Multiply that scenario by...every rural town...and you get conciquencual numbers.
