Disagree here. As someone that started off with a brick Nokia where sms didn't even work outside our own carrier network and internet on cellphone was literally dialup that burned limited mins.

I eventually had a #Blackberry, #Palm, #Treo (Handspring), Sidekick, (whatever #Nokia called their OS), Ericsson, (I was getting a new phone every year)… the #iPhone blew them all away. I was stubborn and a bigtime Apple hater but when the iPhone 3G launched I gave in and never switched away since.

See the iPhone was fucking shit compared to other smartphones at the time, like it was YEARS behind, but apple did that thing where, like, remember how they did it with MP3 players? Instead of saying stuff like "four gigs of space, six hour battery life" they said "A thousand songs in your pocket and you don't have to fuck around with CDs," while all the other MP3 player makers were fighting over people who already knew about MP3 players, apple targeted people who'd never used an MP3 player before, and that's what they did with their smartphone. Anyway it didn't have a keyboard, it couldn't do flash, and you couldn't even copy and paste on the fucker but it sold like buggery because the adverts didn't say shit like "600mHz processor and 256 megs of RAM," they said "The internet in your pocket." Now you can't make just one website anymore, you have to make two websites, and suddenly the point of all this CSS stuff becomes clear

Watched the last episode of #DeadLikeMe last night, and watched the direct-to-DVD movie early this morning.

The final episode was a nice capper to the series, although it left a lot of questions unanswered (understandably, though).

The movie (Dead Like Me: #LifeAfterDeath)?

Absolute #shovelware. It did not make a lick of sense, whatsoever. The new actor played Daisy Adair with all of the subtlety of a dump truck, Henry Ian Cusick's talents were wasted on a character with zero perceptible motivation, Roxy somehow lost all of her street smarts in an instant after schmoozing with the police commissioner, and while George's character got some nice closure (although not entirely believable), the whole thing felt really off and bewildering.

I think the only character that was fully true to the original was Mason, my personal favorite. Pretty hard to mess up a character that's already so utterly morally bankrupt 🤣

But overall the character development for George, her mom, and her sister was nice. I'm thankful Joy finally became a tolerable character in the last view episodes. I kinda wanted to slap her throughout the first season. Just very typical unhappy wife schlock. She was actually likeable and sympathetic in the movie.

Also the #Palm #Treo product placement in #2009 was hilarious.

But yeah, don't ask me to summarize the plot, because I really couldn't find it. Nothing made a lick of sense.

Not direct quotes, but they could have been:

"Oh man, he gave us these new high-tech smartphones, but he gave me some bad info. I need to get a hold of him. I wonder HOW!!!"
"You're such an evil person, because all you care about is money, even though you're treating us to this really lavish lifestyle, and you're not actually making money from any of this... this is so confusing, we're going to kill you!"

This could very well be the worst movie I've seen, omitting things seen on #MysteryScienceTheatre3000 and Christian #glurge films like "God's Not Dead." (Christian Pop-Eschatology movies deserve their own category in the lowest circle of hell, appropriately enough)

Morgen Palmsonntag und Zeitumstellung, dass hätte zu PalmOS Zeiten zu kilometerlangen threads bei Nexave geführt und OWL hätte das ganze Wochenende seine gadgets umgestellt. Können auch nicht alle was mit anfangen oder verstehen.

Wow #Treo's opengraph image is really different of the actual graphs… 😅 #CrUX #webperf
@Heinzel #SCNR Es gab durchaus Smartphones mit Tasten - und der #Palm #Treo war besser als alles, was ich danach hatte.
(Das ändert aber natürlich nichts an der inhaltlichen Aussage des Posts)
