This misses the point completely, I have tried both Android and iOS in the last five years, and to me iOS is just better, it works like I want it to.
The point is that Apple pushes out phones with outdated hardware at a premium price. That point is well illustrated here.
I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.
I did so as I realized that I didn't have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online
By adding 'this misses the point' at the beginning you yourself made this a debate about the post, not your preference. You can spend whatever you want on stuff you want, but many people arent aware that apple is charging them twice what the device is worth, just because of their monopoly, and that was the point.
Correct, which is why I regretted posting it as soon as i did.
It doesn't look deleted to me.
How would one go about reading the logs on how federation worked in this case? I'm thinking lemmy.ml either missed it did not honor the delete from lemmy.zip
Maybe whatever app you’re using isn’t really deleting comments? It’s still showing up fine for me and gaining votes.
It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn't clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.
Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.
I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense
This is happened to me before. I’ve noticed a delay in the federation such that sometimes comments recently deleted will still get votes or replies for a time. I speculate it’s because the deletion doesn’t get processed until the comment has finished being shared with other instances.
What point?
I switched to iOS a few years back because I tried it for a week when my Pixel died, maintained a pros/cons list, and decided iOS works better for me.
The most eye-opening part switching “sides” is how cringe these types of Android users are. Just use what works for you and enjoy life.
Exactly, which is why I deleted the comment just after I made it as I realized I didn't have the energy to debate the issue
I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.
The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.
The effect was that Android got "Find My" about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won't be compatible. But isn't Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.
You're lucky because, if it didn't, you wouldn't be able to change a single thing.
