Can someone just give a tl;dr?

I’ve run out of patience watching old mates videos when he waffles on and on.

Seriously, who on earth uses facebook?

Me? I know it’s the current hotness to not be on there, but I don’t get sites like Instagram / TickTock / Snapchat where its just reacting to photos and images. I want words dammit.

We were on a tour and the guide had an iPhone, but we have Android phones. He took some photos and said “Oh if you had an iPhone I could just Airdrop them to you” and we said “If you had an Android phone you could Nearby Share them to us”.

Then there was much explaining about how Airdrop was better because it works with iPhones, and Nearby Share is no good because it won’t work with iPhones.

Couldn’t quite get them to see the irony about that complaint.

I did get given a free iPhone! I opted not to use it.

• Terrible email client options
• Can’t rearrange your home screen beyond changing the icon order a bit
• Firefox is just Safari with a groucho marx fake nose and glasses
• Notifications are laughable by comparison
• Share options are laughable by comparison
• Camera is supposed to be better than any Android device ever invented, yet somehow managed to take blurry photos ~50% of the time so I’d end up taking 6 photos in every situation to make sure I got one where you could use it. I may be an edge case here as I’m mostly taking photos of name plates and technical documents where crisp detail is super important… iOS just wanted to make pretty colours and boke the world, even if it meant half a name plate was in focus and the back was artificially blurred for that sweet Instagram professional photographer look.

Ah, aren’t I an idiot… I was racking my brain trying to work out what an S.D. was, and what OP was calling the delivery driver one of them.

Still works perfectly. I used to use it with Subsonic, now with YT Music. Plenty of music players support scrobbling to it still.

Lidarr can import from a last.fm users playlist, or last.fm tags. Can also follow Spotify lists, and monitor Apple Music for top albums and auto grab them.

I see more people complaining on Lemmy about problems than I do the actual problems they’re complaining about.

Just use the thing, and put the content and comments you want on it? You don’t have to be a passive observer just staring out the window as monkeys dance for you. Be the monkey. Dance how you want. Eat a banana. Fling poo if that’s what you want. Just stop expecting everyone else to create your dream routine and then having a sook because they step-pause-turn-pause-pivot-step-paused when you wanted them to step-pause-turn-pause-pivot-step-step.

Is it irony that they release a privacy based browser on the Microsoft Store?

No, because Google will just go and randomly cancel.

All my family and friends used to use Hangouts and it was perfect. I’d been with it since Google Talk but it was Hangouts SMS and functional video chat integration that won everyone over. Then SMS was removed, and later there was talk of it changing to Chats… and the stench of Allo and Duo was still in the air so we abandoned ship rather than bothering.

Now we’re on a mix of WhatsApp and Messenger depending on the social group. Not really my preference but once bitten, twice shy so Google products get a hard pass.

Also, Chats is ugly. A horizontal bar in a sea of whitespace is a terrible separator for a conversation. And chat heads don’t work in group messages like they did in Hangouts so it sucks for knowing if people in a group chat are up to speed.

Copy Apple Maps, acquire more iOS users.

Is that better or worse than an erect one, from an insult point of view?

tl;dr

There’s a name for that - it’s called Cunningham’s Law.

YT Shorts, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Reels… These are things I just don’t bother watching.

The only reason social media companies took the controls away is because they know the videos being uploaded are shit but they want you to watch the whole thing for engagement. So they take away the controls to force that engagement. Go fuck yourself.

Also people who upload using these services - especially Shorts and Reels when other options exist on the same damn platform - are literally worse than Hitler.

Solving the “blue bubble” problem is easy. Stop giving a fuck about what iPhone users care about.

Depending on where that terminal is open, you probably haven’t really done much damage

I went for a hoon in a BYD the other day, it was awesome fun. Not the dolphin, the other A*.* one that’s everywhere.

I believe they’re a cheap EV but it has all the bells and whistles, goes like the clappers, can do cool stuff like start the AC remotely so by the time you walk from work to your carpark it’s nice and comfortable, gets 450ish on a charge and can be topped up overnight on a standard power point for most people’s commute.

I’m so keen to own an EV, all I need is a justification… Right now I have a work vehicle that carries a tonne (literally) at all times which makes an EV less appealing.

Are you copying and pasting the same reply as someone else? I swear I keep seeing this exact reply on anything to do with Israel / Palestine, but it doesn’t show up in your post history (as far back as I could be bothered going anyway).

How does it make more sense??? They’re both just numbers in a scale, but at least one had a useful couple of data points.

We’re travelling in the US at the moment, and as an Australian this habit of posting prices that aren’t actually the price really grinds my gears.

In Australia, the listed price is the price you’ll pay. The only exception is if they specify that it excludes GST, in which case the total price will be 10% higher.

In the US, the listed price is the starting price. Then you’ll have a city tax, a state tax, a federal tax, a congestion fee, a service fee, a minimum gratuity, and then of course the optional (but not really) additional tip on top with a suggested minimum of 25%.

It’s making buying things a really sour experience. Just yesterday I bought some clothing that came in a little under $250 and I had $300 cash on me. Easy, that’ll cover it. Nope… ended up having to bust out the card because the total was closer to $320 once all the fees and taxes got thrown on top.
