And Lemmy is disproportionately representative of the 1/3 who are aware.
If you look at the comments on a random public social media post, you’ll find the delusional third or half.
It basically boils down to where they’re getting their information, or rather, whether it’s information or “information”. A large swath of the population is so propagandized by right wing rag “media” that they are functionally incapable of rational thought.
True, but realistically for most people the lack of Google Play is a non starter. Unless you’re really technical and committed to FOSS, you’re going to need every day apps in there.
IMO the biggest issue on mobile is not even the stores but the fact that both platforms are so tightly integrated with the cloud and the account signed into the OS. Again, if you’re an ordinary user, you can barely do anything without it being tied to your Google account or whatever. Everything from maps to notes to music, it’s all tied up in that.
You can still very easily use macOS without an Apple ID or iCloud account, actually. You lose out on iMessage, FaceTime and the App Store, basically. But that’s about it. And they don’t nag you about it ever again unless you try to send an iMessage or what have you.
On iOS and Android it’s effectively a requirement though, because App Store / Google Play. Phone is not too useful if you can’t install any apps.
It increases security ^of the Microsoft share price^
Why sell $2 light rail fares when you can sell $40 Waymo fares? Now you’re thinking with capitalism!
Good in theory, but they’ve probably already stolen all the data, considering they had root access and wheeled in unauthorized hardware.
I’m not sure that really says much. I hate swasticars as much as y’all do, but like, $400 phone versus $100K car. Makes sense the fire phone sold better. And I mean, it wasn’t being pushed by a literal Nazi so that helps.

I can’t wait to legally acquire the physical UHD release! I definitely won’t be pulling the full blu-ray rip of it off Usenet or anything.
Perhaps the logical compromise is to disclaim ownership of the AI-generated assets, releasing them as public domain, while retaining the copyright only on the code he’s written himself, etc
I love that this meme can be fully depicted using emojis. I demand emoji versions of other common memes.
Making something illegal and actually stopping it are two different things. Also see: drugs.
… and the sign said the bytes of the distro are written to the SD card …. if they’re un-tar’d …
Oh good, more useless e-waste.
You mean Arizona 2?

I hired a law firm in Poland that specializes in immigration. They walked me through genealogy / document procurement first, then helped with getting everything translated and notarized for use in Poland. It took about 2 years from starting the process to receiving citizenship.
Ah, missed that. Okay, if the GPU clock is stepped up that much on power then maybe it will be alright!
Switch cards hold a maximum of 32GB, maybe that’s why? Although it seems no excuse for Switch 2, given it’s a whole new generation, why not support larger cards? I mean you can buy a 256GB microSD for $15, and that’s a private individual buying one; at scale, the memory can’t be too expensive…
