Because the media, which supplies political "information" to the masses (a) wants to sensationalize things for viewership/ratings and (b) is generally owned by extremely right/conservative/Republican entities and will not allow it to be a fair representation between the two candidates.

And more than that the MAGA side doesn't campaign on or care about political policy because their base doesn't know or care about policy, they campaign on hate and dirt and smear. So you could explain all the awesome policy of the other side until your throat is sore, they won't care because policy is not their concern.

It's funny to see the latest moanfest from Trump, claiming no-fair because he spent $100m campaigning against Biden and now that's all a waste. That's the thing. He/they aren't campaigning for issues or policy, they are fighting against an individual. It's all they know how to do and all their base really cares about.

I built a gaming PC for the first time since ~20 years ago. Decided to dump 64gb into it for no good reason other than ram is cheap and I figured I might as well.

8gb...jeebus.

don't even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?

I live in the US and the Google play store says this app isn't available in my region.

Probably because an option like soy milk costs over twice as much per volume when compared to cow milk at the consumer level, so therefore any rational person would expect a drink made with the more-expensive non-dairy ingredient to cost more.

To me it's not defending Starbucks as much as it is defending common sense.

What if they removed all reference of the word "dairy" from their products and made the consumer choose the beverage ingredients item by item, and each ingredient has a different price relative to the cost?

The creation can possibly have monetary value, thus the protection. How much is up to society.

This isn't a good argument for UBI.

I used Sync with Reddit, so it was a very natural transition for lemmy.

But I also noticed that between it, Connect, and Jerboa, it's the only one that has smooth scrolling in the comments. Connect and Jerboa are really janky even scrolling comments.

*Lose

You could literally destroy me financially or other ways by just gaining login to my gmail.

Sounds like you need to start using MFA.

No, you can see from the license plates that this is not in the USA.

I feel like, for some weird reason, nobody on lemmy knows how meme templates are supposed to be used.

I couldn't care less if foss app users or developers are butthurt because closed apps are suddenly available and gaining popularity.

Sync for lemmy landed and it has been more stable and has more features than any of the other lemmy apps I've tried.

Maybe if the foss apps were stable and feature rich more casual plebs like me would use them, but at the moment they all feel kind of broken.

Also, I would take issue with jerboa here. Jerboa is there but not Connect? Lol...

7 pro since launch day here. Always had really disappointing battery life.

I used mine for very trivial tasks. On WiFi virtually all day, indoors most of the day. I use my phone casually--no video games, no video chat apps. I will take it off the charger at 7:45am and use it for MAYBE 2.5h of screen time over the course of 11-12h during the day and I'll be at 35% battery left. If I do ANYTHING just shortly taxing and I have to charge it midday.

Google soc and hardware choices are very power inefficient.

My wife has a 7a and also had disappointing battery life.

Google isn't on a good path so far I'm my opinion.

For the first time I'm completely disinterested in what Google is doing with their pixel phones. I went to an S23 ultra and battery life has been nothing sorry of amazing, and the concerns I used to have with camera on Samsung phones isn't really an issue to me anymore.

Their recent addition to support wearOS made me consider a subscription (wearOS version requires subscription). Until youtube music recently added support for podcasts, so I didn't bother although I can't say the podcast feature in youtube music is all that good so far but it will let episodes get downloaded to my watch.
