Marques is right. I’m sorry, for $700 goddamn dollars I refuse to be some random startup’s R&D. I can’t wait for the DiSrUpToR model to die a painful death.

Cleaning the flat top was like the only satisfying part of working in a kitchen.
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
Ok honestly thank you for that. I kind of gathered that from his pretty much only shitposting and attitude in his comments. Idk why but being banned because of him really bugged me.
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
I’ve said my peace, unfortunately not much more I can do. I’ll let him go Lord over his little fiefdoms as he wishes. The whole experience has totally turned me off of Lemmy TBH

I mean, I have screenshots, but k.

You posted a misogynistic meme, I said “i thought we left that in 2023,” and apparently you didn’t like that so you called me a bigot and banned me.

That’s the problem, we need more prayers! My new favorite typo

imposing moderator will on community Rich, coming from the mod that banned me (permanently btw, when he usually gives out 1-day or 1-week bans) because I hurt his fee-fees.

- Comment on YouTube and Spotify Won’t Launch Apple Vision Pro Apps, Joining Netflix 9 months ago:
Why bother putting in the effort of developing and testing an app for a totally new platform that Tim Apple and 3 other people will use?

My brain immediately went to “OP is trying to trigger the trypophobics.”
- Comment on Business Insider's reporter and his disastrous experience with GM's Blazer including the infotainment system: 10 months ago:
infotainment systems should absolutely not be sharing core vehicle functionality
Particularly and especially when the infotainment system has an always-on cellular connection. Wired ran a story way back in 2015 that hackers had managed to gain control of (I wanna say) a Dodge (it was a Stellantis group car, can’t recall which one specifically) and were able to control not only convenience features of the car like lights, wipers, and stereo, but to disable the transmission completely. All it takes is one flaw or zero-day.

Nah, that’s a paid upgrade. Default on the poverty-spec models is Kill All Children
- Comment on WhatsApp continues working on Instagram integration behind closed doors 11 months ago:
Valid, but our credit card and mobile payment penetration is way higher than China’s was at the time WeChat launched, and bank relationships are notoriously sticky.
- Comment on WhatsApp continues working on Instagram integration behind closed doors 11 months ago:
It’ll never catch on in the US, though. We don’t need the functionality that an “everything app” like WeChat would provide. WeChat took off because it filled in a big gap for its users. The US already has a robust and diversified financial market and payments infrastructure that Elmo won’t have any chance of breaking into.
- Comment on WhatsApp continues working on Instagram integration behind closed doors 11 months ago:
Just like stories, this is yet another feature a messaging app shouldn’t have.
- Comment on Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand 11 months ago:
Yeah, their “safest” list top 3 were all dead marques; Mercury, Pontiac, and Saturn. They definitely have some sampling issues.
- Comment on An easy way to enlarge a photo 11 months ago:
I’ve done the same thing from the other end; got in to my car and realized my music didn’t start playing. Look around and, oops! No phone. My first thought was, “oh no big deal, I’ll just call-DAMMIT”
- Comment on Senator Warren calls out Apple for shutting down Beeper's 'iMessage to Android' solution 11 months ago:
iPhones have the largest share of the US smartphone market. iMessage is the default messaging app on every iPhone, and cannot be changed. Ergo, iMessage is one of the top 5 largest messaging apps in the US. I believe it’s number 3 or 4 behind FB Messenger, WhatsApp, and FaceTime (also an Apple product).
- Comment on Send that debt to the shadow realm 11 months ago:
Some places still don’t have a customer-facing terminal, like my bodega.

I bought mine from a place called Cucu Covers
- Comment on 1.1 History 11 months ago:
Rabbinical scholars argue about the correct translation of Genesis to this day. So you saying they’re “literal days” is meaningless.
- Comment on Send that debt to the shadow realm 11 months ago:
I have a sticker on my debit card that makes it look like a Blockbuster card. I get so many confused looks when I had it to cashiers.
- Comment on Apple responds to the Beeper iMessage saga: ‘We took steps to protect our users’ 11 months ago:
Don’t have the article handy but I believe it was wired that reported on the decreasing contrast between the white text and green background across several iterations of iOS.
- Comment on Apple responds to the Beeper iMessage saga: ‘We took steps to protect our users’ 11 months ago:
Then they’re assholes. Seems pretty simple, no?
For someone in their 40s, they’re probably stuck in the iPhone=rich/Android=poor dichotomy that Apple curated when the iPhone launched. That makes them vain and materialistic, and thus probably not people you want to be around if it’s that important to them.
Now, if you want to get into how Apple has been changing the contrast ratios on the text for blue and green bubbles to make the green messages harder to read, as well as intentionally making the green color unpleasant, there’s something there.
- Comment on Apple responds to the Beeper iMessage saga: ‘We took steps to protect our users’ 11 months ago:
Sounds like your friends are assholes then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have literally never as an adult had someone go “ew green bubbles.”

At least they didn’t divide it up into a slideshow, with two lines of the article per slide. I’ve been seeing a ton of those lately.
