LEXAs an US citizen, I pretty much count on EU regulations to protect me since my own government is too rife with fascist agitators and oligarchs to respond to the needs of the people.
magnetosphereThis opinion reminds me a bit of Covid. I live in NJ, and was often grateful that our governor (Phil Murphy, Democrat) tried to protect us from Trump’s idiocy. He actually accepts science, unlike some other governors.
What idiotic Trump COVID policies did he protect you from specifically?
The only reason I ask is because a lot of the COVID denier conservatives I have to listen to in my community (deep red state) have repeatedly expressed disappointment in Trump for “trusting the experts” about COVID, pushing the vaccines, or some other nonsense.
So it’s interesting to see you express that Trump didn’t do enough to trust the science when I have to repeatedly listen to complain that he followed the science too much. Lol
I never claimed that Murphy protected us from specific policies. What he didn’t do was endorse a deworming drug to fight a virus, or question medical experts. That was reassuring.
StandingCatDont forget injecting bleach.
Did you actually do your research on that “deworming drug”? It’s been used to treat a hell of a lot more than parasites. That is just its most common use.
This has always been funny to me as someone who actually works in healthcare and regularly reads scientific studies. Of all the things you could choose to hate Trump over, the example you give is one that plenty of people in the scientific community considered to be a treatment avenue worth researching.
Damn, the media propaganda machine is effective. Trump could run into a burning building to save a litter of puppies and they’d still find a way to make everyone hate the guy. It’s impressive.
I did enough research to know that Ivermectin is ineffective against viruses. Remarking on “the media propaganda machine” won't change that.
Lol what a load of shit. That asshole deserves every ounce of vitriol directed at him and more. No one has “tricked” us into hating his stupid fascist guts.
Worth researching, yeah maybe. Covid was new, there was no medicine against it, so you’d expect any worthwhile scientist to throw whatever they got at the wall to see what would stick.
But it’s a whole different story between scientists testing something in a study and a non-medically-trained politician recommending the non-medically-trained public to off-label self-medicate with a drug that hasn’t been tested, with no dosage recommendations and with no medical oversight.
As someone who works in healthcare and regularly reads scientific studies you should know the difference.
That’s weird, bruh, I never felt like I was being anti-consumered by any apple shit. Foreign green bubbles are trying to claw apple backwards instead of moving themselves forward.
pH3raWe found the Sockholm Syndrome guy
I fucking hate when my shit just works, bro. 😂
TimeSquirrelUp until you want to do anything Apple doesn't approve of. Like, say, sideload apps that aren't in the app store. Or install an alternate OS. Or get root access to your own damn device. Or anything beyond being a boring-ass social media consumer.
b3nsn0wor keep using your device after you dropped it. or keep using the same device long enough for the battery to wear out. or use the same charger on your phone as you would use on any other device.
it’s frickin ludicrous how apple users whose devices break prematurely just go and buy another device from apple, as opposed to doing the sane thing and buying from a different company. like after my lenovo laptop wiped its own bios on a forced “upgrade” i’m sure as fuck not buying lenovo, but if an apple device encountered the same error 9 out of 10 users would just go and wire daddy tim apple another $1500 for a replacement. like wtf, why would they not enforce failures if that’s how their users behave
My friend, I have dropped an iPhone in an otter box multiple times from about 10 feet up onto concrete and no breaks. Although I have broken a screen or two before I started using good cases and applecare got me in and out in like 20 minutes. Also I kept my previous iPhone long enough for two battery replacements and both were done trivially easy with apple care, no cost to me. 😉
eatham 🇦🇺It’s not “no cost to me” if you paid for apple care
Sure thing, bud! I had a jailbreak from about 2010 until 2022. The only thing I’m missing out on is location spoofing and piracy. I also have a dev account so I can side load shit if I want. I mean, you’re so buttfurious and still have green bubbles, so none of the stuff you use to angle for superiority matters. 🤣
you’re so buttfurious
We are all laughing at you, not angry at you.
lol ok bbg 😉
Aren’t you the one with green bubbles? I can set them to whatever color want.
Hard cope.
Forcing you to “jailbreak” your own device is insulting. Why the hell are you not insulted by that?
Forcing you to “root” your own device is insulting. Why the hell are you not insulted by that?
Because I can install a custom operating system, in which I will have root, at any time and with zero resistance. I don’t, because I don’t really want to take chances with my only means of calling for help in an emergency, but there’s nothing stopping me if I’m feeling brave.
You, on the other hand, have to exploit a security vulnerability in your own phone in order to use it outside the ridiculously strict bounds Apple imposes, and there aren’t even any custom operating systems to install.
Also, I can install a real browser with real ad blocking, and I don’t even need root or a custom operating system to do that.
Android phones are far from perfect, but Apple phones are outright unfit for their purpose.
Sure, in prison too everything just works, plus you have 3 meals a day and a lot of spare time. You just get fucked by some stronger dude any time he wants.
And that’s exactly Apple: it fucks you any time he wants.
Want the new OS on your totally capable 2017 pc? Fuck you
Want to use your warranty but you used an off brand charger onca at your friend’s house? Fuck you
That would be 2000$

Green bubbles btfo again 😘
fuckin a how god damn stupid are you? this "green bubble" shit is hilarious, you want to suck Tim Cooks cock so fucking bad you are making up pejoratives for people not using an iPhone, how much of a fucking cuck do you have to be?
This is what green bubbles actually believe.
oh I KNOW you are a massive fucking cuck no question about that one, you have your head so far up your ass you think this makes you cool, when it just makes you a fucking dweeb.
Anything you need to tell yourself to feel better about it, bro. 👍👍
Testimony: I use a 2015 iGPU rig with an i5 6500 and 16gb ddr4.
Runs well, I can do all sorts of things on it.
If some game doesn’t run well and I got cash, I’m taking a bus to SP road and buying a good used GPU.
Cheap, reliable, serviceable. Only 1 of which apple’s products are.
roadkillI'm not even sure I'd consider them reliable with the number of Apple fanboys reminding me that I -must- buy the extended warranty.
Hrm. Interesting. I've almost never had to warranty my other stuff....
Haha true
However, I’ve had this “apple experience” with xiaomi too
Apple hardware is rather shoddy, so yeah, an extended warranty probably is warranted.
Or, y’know, buying something that’s not shoddy.
…green bubbles are because apple doesn’t want to move forward with everyone else, they want to have their own walled garden so that people like you say exactly what you just said. their lightning connector is quite literally an outgrowth of usb-c before usb-c was even done, as far as that issue goes its apple trying to go backwards not the rest of the industry. the rest of the industry moved past proprietary charging connectors almost 15 years ago.
Like i dont care if you use an iphone it’s like complaining that you use chrome instead of firefox, its just stupid. So why do you apple people care that I use a samsung?
Damn, it sounds like you care, like, a lot. 🤔
whatever you say dude, I’m glad you like your iphone.
I’m going to preorder the apple vision pro as soon as it’s available, too. I’m going to preorder it so hard. 😩
Ok? It looks pretty cool. I’m really not anti apple like you think I am lol. I’d be more concerned about preordering in general than it being apple but I’m not going to berate you for it or anything.
Buddy, I have to be the one to pre order it so you see it in action and go “damn I should have got one, I want one now but I can’t get one” and then you get to buy the even better vision pro 3GS.
I mean I probably won’t since it’s like $3500 but like, ok? You act like I’m telling you not to buy it. I have a quest 2 and had a rift in 2016, I am already on board with vr/ar, you don’t need to convince me. If I had the money I’d have had a hololens in like 2016.
I had the first vive and a current index. The Facebook Brand Face Mounted Ad Delivery System is less good.
Well yeah it’s also more expensive lol, and the quest 2 wasn’t Facebook branded when I got it for cheap, it was better than my og rift. I think I’ve been seeing that valve is doing a new headset, I think I’ll set my sights on that for an upgrade since it’s most likely to support Linux.
The race to find the cheapest shit is a hellish existence.
I mean you’re just continually proving my point that it’s you who cares what other people use. My appologies I didn’t want to spend $1000 on a vr headset and instead chose to get a more entry level option. The vibe I get talking to you is just…contempt for those you percieve as having less money than you.
Once you make the decision to stop always buying the cheapest shit you will start to notice that now your shit won’t break as much and have as many problems and your life will improve immeasurably.
I have to wonder what problems you think I have in the weird portrayal of my life you have going on in your head. Because I’m just chilling. Things been going good lately, boutta buy me a house, get me a cat, going all out on the PC upgrade at the end of the year, can’t wait.
Well, thanks for providing some entertainment during the boring work day, I have some fun things I’m working on for the rest of the evening that’ll take me away from my phone so you have yourself a nice one.
The world doesn't revolve around Apple and its NPCs like you.
Damn bro, imagine showing up to the first client meeting with some fartbox gateway 2000 laptop running some pirated copy of windows 7 because you refuse to upgrade with some pirated copy of photoshop but not the new one because you can’t quite get that working or even worse done flavor of Linux trying to convince them that GIMP is just as good as real photoshop and is even better because it’s open source. Then some one slides in with a MacBook Pro and real photoshop and they politely ask you to leave. Lol again.
I honestly won the last 2 job selections because I was “the linux guy”: my emplyers understood that I can operate a pc better that the average mac or windows user and chose me over other people for that reason.
So what your saying it doesn’t apply to all use cases

Honestly it might not be the best idea to let employers know you’re willing to put in extra hours and hours of work just to get something trivial like audio working because that makes you look like an exploitable mark. But hold fast to those values and ride them into the ground because of a decision you made 15 years ago and because you think Steve Jobs was gay. lolol.

Being a linux user doesn’t mean I’ll put in more hours at work, it just means that in the same amount of time I’ll have more stuff done, or that it takes less time to learn new stuff because I already know how some things work.

I don’t have any particular idea about the character of SJ, except for the fact that I think he was an excellent salesman. And the characteristic of an excellent salesman is to lure you into a bad deal by convincing you that you’ll end up on the upper side.
Ok bud! You’re doin’ it!
Audio on Linux has worked out of the box for over a decade.
I think apple is more subtle and long term about it. Microsoft just straight up slams it in your face.
Apple not being anti-consumer is the weirdest opinion I read on lemmy…for now…
What you have convinced yourself of and what actually is are two different things.
FlakyNow if only they did the same antitrust they did with Microsoft back in the day but targeting Google.
… or targeting Microsoft again too
Both is good.
