This is one of the shitposts of all time.
It’s a literal shit post
Exclusive too
No, you have to pay extra for that
But is it exclusive? I won’t upvote otherwise.
I’m surprised you could afford it, bro.
NFT bros
I would sooner rather buy a bag of actual deluxe dog shit than an NFT.
It can at least have some kind of utility. Like hurling it at NFT bros, for example.
At least with the dog shit you actually own something.
At least you keep your eyesight.
This is the true meme
No one cares more about what devices people who use iPhones use than Android Users.
I had a stroke reading that.
Aw he’s Jaymes. From “Literature Cafe”
Zoomer itoddlers clearly care because of all the message color bullshit
Except I’ve experienced the exact opposite. The iPhone users are the ones who complain about android users messing up their iMessage chats while simultaneously being too fucking stupid to realize it’s Apple who is screwing them.
Wow, that’s pretty major oppression there. You should seek out a therapist to help you deal with your trauma.
“Apple users” is a bit harsh, the fans can definitely get this culty but it’s not like the functional-but-overpriced hardware is literal shit. Someone else said NFT “investors”, I’d go for fashion people who spend hundreds on a sweatshop-produced t-shirt which just has the logo of the company that’s ripping them off on it (which to be fair does describe some people’s relationship with Apple!)
Eh, it’s the cult of personality that goes with the CEO, too. Jobs worshippers, Musk worshippers, whatever. Defending billionaires and corporations that don’t even know the person’s name, or care.
Steve Jobs has been dead for years and I barely hear anyone mention him these days.
True. Nfts fit this better.
Linux bro: takes pride in showing his understanding of technology
Apple hipster: takes pride because he spent 98765198$US on a gadget where he can’t install a new browser
Wow it’s true. Linux users are like vegans. You never have to wonder because they’ll tell you they are whether you care or not
Galaxy Brain: triple boot hackintosh.
We mostly show pride in how pretty we can make our desktop look
You’re comparing a hardware and software company to open source software.
Really weird comparison
You should be comparing OSX to Linux
Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.
But they’re fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what’s the problem?
I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don’t want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.
Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.
Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.
Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.
Idk every apple product I’ve touched always felt pretty thin and flimsy. Don’t even get me started on Mac mice. They’re so cheaply made you don’t get a second mouse button. The Mac books are so fragile you can break them by looking at them wrong. The only time I’ve ever seen a iPhone that doesn’t have a crack in the screen is when they are brand new. Maybe I’m a bit of a farmer for considering rigidity the definition of high quality, but god how do one button mice feel good.
High quality until you drop it once and the entire screen shatters. High quality until your lightning cable breaks. High quality until planned obsolescence renders it unusable. Nah Apple products are pure ass lmao, literally no reason to ever buy one unless it’s got some exclusive artsy software you really like (and even then there’s prob something just as good for windows or Linux). As far as bang for your buck goes I can’t think of a worse choice than Apple in any given field
Apple has that break the lense on a camera and your phone starts to brick it’s self as it thinks it’s been repaired by someone who’s not apple
I have tried an iphone a google pixel is way better built or pretty much any other similarly priced android.
I carry 2 phones because I have a government job, so if any work is done on my phone it becomes subject to Open Records requests. If I have to carry 2 phones I might as well have both operating systems.
So my personal phone is Android and my work phone is an iPhone.
I don’t understand how people prefer iPhones. The hardware is nice, but the OS is horrible. They came up with some neat stuff in 2008, but it feels like they haven’t improved much since then. Even informing the greater flexibility of Android - it’s just easier to use. Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.
Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.
What on earth are you talking about? I’m not going to claim Apple invented it (because they likely stole it from another os like android) but they’ve had the single swipe down control panel on iOS to turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, etc for like a decade+. I have Apple devices, and trust me, there’s plenty to shit on without making stuff up.
What he’s talking about is probably that turning off WiFi via quick settings or whatever it’s called doesn’t actually turn off WiFi, you still have to proceed all the way to the settings app.
I owned and used a iPhone xs for a number of years. I can assure you that pressing the little WiFi icon in the control centre does the same thing as my Samsung galaxy s21 5g and various other android devices previous to the iPhone xs does and if all fails then you can always turn on airplane mode
That may be true, I used to be an iPhone Xs user before my Pixel 7, and it used to drive me crazy seeing blue WiFi icon turning white, as opposed to turning the module off completely in the settings, when the icon becomes transparent.
It is nitpicking though, for sure. I have tons of other, more significant complaints about iOS, I was just clarifying what it may have been that the other person was complaining about.
Edit: Moreover, until you deliberately tell your phone to NOT automatically turn on WiFi after an hour or two, it will decide for itself that the time has come and it can drain your battery now.
Turning off WiFi is as easy as gesturing to the control centre then clicking the WiFi button it’s as easy as android devices where you swipe down from where the notch is and click on the WiFi button
Except when I swipe down and it opens the notification window or Siri shortcuts or just a blank screen with a clock on it.
It’s not consistent.
I used an iPhone xs for about a year and a half before clumsily dropping my phone and it sadly coming to its demise and I’ve never had this happen to me. Prehaps I’m lucky. Although knowing lemmy someone probably just made this shit up
Every whale in a P2W game.
Apple user here. Can confirm. My excuse is that Apple knows its shit and I am at the period of my life where just thinking about SUDO gives me allergy. So, as long as I do not have to deal with that shit, I am OK paying for this shit. Hell, I am paying for ChatGPT so that it does internet search for me and summarizes the results for me. My time is more valuable for me than dealing with that shit.
Not suggesting that my way is right way. Many people do like to play with that shit, customize it, fine tune. Those are not users for apple ecosystem. To each their own shit. It is nice to have a choice of shit.
I’m so confused… Do you think android and/or windows users use sudo? That’s a Linux thing… Macs run on an off-shoot of Linux.
Android and iOS are very similar to all “basic” users. Android simply allows super users (ironically this is related to sudo) to use commands if they reeeaaally want to. Although, to be fair, you need an unlocked phone for that.
Normies, are just allowed third party apps like ReVanced that let you skip YouTube ads for free. Do you not like that ability? If so, you can pay. Google loves that. Google owns Android. We’ve done a loop-dee-loop now, I do believe.
I admittedly know less about Android today. But I chose iOS when Android was quite bad. With iPhone I am not afraid, for example that if I lose or break it, then I need to spend any significant amount of time to setup new iPhone. Couple clicks and the new phone is in exactly in the same state as the old one. Same apps, same files, everything. Maybe Android become better today, I do not know for sure. But I heard enough of the stories from my friends about difficulties because the new Android phone runs Android of different version than the old phone, so, some programs are missing, some things are different and so on.
With Windows, while it is also becoming better, it is still plagued with some hardware driver bugs, etc. For half a year, for example, my computer would just refuse to go to sleep automatically. I tried everything I could find on internet - no luck. Then one day, it just fixed itself for no reason. The update system also for some reason fails to install some updates. And the sound output constantly switches to monitor speakers which I do not have.
My iMacs - zero issuers. They just work. My iPhones - zero issues. My iPads - zero issues. Single convenient ecosystem. Oh, add Apple Watch there as well.

I’m so lost here… Have you ever even tried using a brand new Android phone, or Windows computer? Your comment suggests that no, no you have not.
Like, hey, you do you. Mac and iOS are totally fine. But don’t spread nonsense about Apple being easier. It’s not easier in any way. In fact, I genuinely find iOS to be more complicated in recent years.
You do not need to “tune” an android phone or windows computer. Like… I honestly don’t know what that even means.
I own and fix all types of devices, and apple devices are often some of the most problematic. They do NOT “just work”, but you know what that’s from? It’s from Apple’s marketing campaign rolled out years ago by Steve Jobs.

I feel the same, but find things getting shittier and shittier. I’m paying more and more for less and less. Then I stumble on an open source project that does all that I want and it’s free.
Bitwarden vs LastPass Joplin vs Evernote A million different foss projects for all the shit Google has shut down…
Sometimes spending a little time setting stuff up, ends up saving a huge hastle migrating away from the commercial project that is going to fail unless they fuck over their users.

Yup. I do this shit for a living and wonder how mundanes deal with some of these issues
that’s one of the arguments I saw in favour of sync
Haha le apple bad
I want to break free off APPLE and I can’t because I love this app called CLIPS.
It’s a video editing app that allows me to hold down the button and take a few seconds of video. Lift finger, video stops recording. Hold button down again and the next clip connects to previous. And so on. Also a ton of great filters.
Addicted to it.
Please show me the android alternative.
Not kidding. I can stop being a shit eater for this.
Don’t most camera apps have a pause button you can use while filming that gives the same result? Or am I missing something?

Maybe? I dunno, I’ve never used either.
Not listed on Fdroid yet :(
using that website without JS was definitely a surprise lol
It’s not available for android sadly
Well I’m a dick lol my bad.
I shall give it a try.
Samsungs have this built in natively. Press record. Press pause to pause. Press record for more. Press stop to finish.
If you want the exact UX, then I dunno.
I just checked and my Pixel 7 Pro has it too.
What? You mean iPhones can’t pause while recording a video and then continue recording… or is there some other utility I’m missing about this Clips app?
snapchat director mode?
Bluechecks
Everything is commodified, even shit
It is BFWAV or BFSTP/BFSTM not WAV.
Tell me how you really feel
What if I told you that they cost the same amount, but windows users are subsidized via in-OS advertising.
I mean, decades ago, I would agree with this meme but these days… windows needs to be put down.
I’ve never seen a single ad in windows. I keep hearing they are coming… But so far it’s just a few predatory practices failing to convince me to use their stupid browser.
Same,this starts to look like paranoia imo.
I think it’s just Linux people trying to poison the well. I’m not even mad, haha.
But like, I’m not joining the lie, either. Some day it could happen, though, and on that day sign me up for a pitchfork.
What about the ads in the start menu? For candy crush or tiktok
Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there. Unless you’re using some release like LTSC or have a network-level Adblock there are ads in there. For TikTok, candy crush, Disney+, etc. it’s like the preinstalled bloat on some androids, they’re just ads you have to annoyingly remove from your start menu.
I just did and I have no idea what you’re talking about. All I see are my pinned apps and recently used files.
I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.
I guarantee any PC sold by any big box store or on Amazon will come with this stuff enabled by default.
Which they’ve only been doing for… checks watch…30 years.
The difference is Windows users can install Linux or disable advertising
