@Shardikprime @freamon damn and my masto instance only has a 500 char limit, but you go and make use of every character you’ve got

@DirigibleProtein @Nunar kids are assholes, some adults act like children, it’s inevitable

It’s not because the bubbles are green, it’s not because SMS is bad, it’s because people suck

@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble @AProfessional windows

@simplejack @AProfessional no you have to stick to the “this one company doesn’t sell as much as all of the other companies combined” view of it

because

@technomad I’ve been keeping a lot of my friends aware of what’s going on in the fediverse (especially around Threads, which they’re more aware of) through a discord channel I run on our server that’s dedicated to what’s going on in the world of tech

Conceptually I prefer using the email analogy for how it actually works since that’s pretty close

Gatekeeping the fediverse isn’t good for it, get people to join up, you have control over what you see

@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”

@ramune @chiisana I don’t think a little sphere on my phone is signaling that Apple is getting into defense contracting

@FarraigePlaisteach nuance is not inversely proportional to market cap

@FarraigePlaisteach 99 times out of 100 the reason phones are getting slow is not updates, its a failing battery

Hold corporations accountable, but also don’t just shit on things to shit on them, device support isn’t that simple

@FarraigePlaisteach @return2ozma 5 years is way longer than most people keep their phones, and it’s also “at least” Apple has been known to push updates to older devices way past that

An update to iOS 15 came out not too long ago iirc

Plus there are so many variables that go into whether a device will be able to actually run a particular version of software so giving a hard commitment at all is going to be conservative

@return2ozma committing to a number of years of software updates is...odd, not necessarily in the sense that nobody else is doing it, but in the sense that there are so many variables that go into whether or not a device will be supported on an update it’s actually kind of hard to set that kind of deadline and truthfully stick to it

The same with the claims from Google and Samsung: I’ll believe it when I see it (after all, remember PixelPass?)

@DJDarren @dustyData I used two generations of this thing and it was...bad
