Probably part of someone’s marketing budget at Apple.

I use Joplin on top of Nextcloud.

My hobby is reminiscing about the days when I had time for hobbies.

Yeah good point, the type of miles probably matters a lot.

I saw this in the theater with some friends. We thought it was pretty damn funny.

That said, I have zero desire to re-watch it 20 years on.

23.54 crashes per 1,000 drivers in the past year.

If someone cared about actually comparing this, they’d normalize for the number of miles driven, instead of cherry-picking something so it sounds bad.

This is disengenuous.

I like Neo Launcher.

FairEmail app does the job for me.

It is plausible that they might slow down traffic coming in via those 3rd party apps. Certainly they know, for example, who uses Infinity vs the Reddit app. Obviously they want to control the client to force ads on users.

Pixel devices are trivially easy to unlock

Yeah, y’all were doing it wrong. We always encourage picking creative answers. You need to be playing whatever the judge will pick, not what actually fits the best.

Except that, in my several decades, literally no one ever said that. if someone did say that, they’re ignorant or selling something.

I believe that is patented

Let us know when you start counting it in decades. Those lumps probably aren’t anything bad, right?

I always have a tablet or an old phone lying around.

Yeah, I’d disable that if I could. I’d much rather have no thumbnail than an animated one.

Some mowers are designed that way. Mine advertised “no oil changes”, but really it means I have to add oil a couple times a year instead of draining it.

When you fight literal Nazis and still can’t come away looking like the good guys.

Fuck them for these games. It’s an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I’ve tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

That’s not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn’t care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can’t easily do on my mobile clients.

No big deal. It’s not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.
