I really want the EU to bar them. Fuck apple and their only way of making money: preventing any choice they deem less profitable to them

It’s actually what they like about iPhones. They just call it instead “it all works together” as if a tiny bit of convenience is worth 97% of your freedoms

I tried suggesting to my mom and then girlfriend somewhat recently that they’d be happier on android phones. I did that only because they both complained that iPhones keep getting worse.

Just the thought of one or two minor inconveniences shut down the conversation immediately. Shit like “I get texts on my iPad and phone now and it’s easy to respond on either”…??? Beyond insane to me

Thanks! Yeah, for me it’s that I have a bad memory so memorizing argument orders and things like that felt painful. Scripting is the solution! And you learn while you do it. It’s actually kind of fun to make a solid script that works between various OSes as nerdy as that is. I’ve taken a lot of typing and memorization and turned it into writing (ideally solid) software that allows me to type 1-3 words instead of 20 words. It’s satisfying. And you’re right, it’s something people won’t get until they come to it on their own terms.

At work I routinely do laborious tasks the rest of my team procrastinates due to how repetitive and annoying it is. And often it’s with a command or two. It feels quite powerful. And it’s so flexible how you can combine languages and tools! It’s also just interesting to be reminded how all the basic problems were solved by the 1970s when a lot of these tools were created.

I used to be on the yelling guys side and boy was I wrong. I now write scripts to do anything repetitive, all the time and it’s great. I have a whole library of them I use and add to and improve all the time.

Yeah, I was wrong.

I have a Gen alpha niece. One time a couple years ago she was gleefully ripping up grass and I mildly scolded her and said she shouldn’t do that. She asked why not. I said because if everyone did that, there wouldn’t be any grass. She genuinely seemed baffled by that concept and thought it was idiotic. I’m pretty sure that was thoroughly pounded into my head by age 5. She has an awful mother and my brother is a meh parent but still. I’ve gotten the strong sense she just doesn’t have much empathy for others. Maybe it is partially generational?

They would gas and auto machine gun us down Tiannenman-square style in cold blood. Starting with minorities. They already gave up power once and don’t seem keen to do so again. Trump said he made a mistake by leaving office. It’s fucking terrifying.

I don’t understand this post. OP mad the free support not up to their standards?

I despise discord from a user interface and business practice perspective. What a piece of shit

Fuck discord and fuck reddit.

I so identify with this. Today and second half of yesterday were crushing it days. Wish I could keep it going

I thought that was already true

Haha someone smoked a joint

Jill Stein was on record saying she hoped Trump won to teach democrats a lesson. You wanted democrats to lose. It was your only principle. That is what makes it blindingly obvious that you want Gazans to die and you want Trump to help that happen more often.

I’m thinking of Russian asset Jill Stein, whose enthusiastic support of trump, because of his genocide support, attracted your absolutely lying ass’s vote.

Not from a fake leftist who supports trump, there’s nothing to learn except that you expect me to believe that Russian asset Jill Stein isn’t a horrible piece of shit

I didn’t read this, but moving forward I will be pointing out for humiliation purposes, that you voted for Russian asset Jill Stein.

Even if it wasn’t for the corrupt criminal and the genocide you advocated for, Stein is a Russian asset with no real policy positions. She once said 911 was an inside job. No one should ever take a goddamned thing a stein voter says seriously. To vote for Stein makes one either an idiot or a bad person.

I know that Trump is worse for them by far, and so do you. That’s why you’re lying on his behalf, specifically to make sure you destroy the lives of Palestinians, very much intentionally and we both know it

Yes and Republicans mostly are voting against their interests too, and?

Lol you can speak for all Palestinians saying they all voted very much against their interests because you lie and say you knew one

I was referring to those in Gaza getting bombed and who will suffer even more because you intentionally voted to hurt them, knowingly, lying all the way. I have zero faith that liars like you deserve an iota of benefit of doubt
