Huh. I’ve seen no sign of it on my phone. I wonder if it’s a country/location thing.

Way ahead of you. I already use an alternative paid email service, don’t use Android, and don’t use Google search.

A haunting reminder that rainbow capitalism is 100% about profit and convenience.

Corporations were never your friend. They were never going to defend you.

Gross. Going to hold onto my 14P for as long as I can.

It would be a shit storm of unimaginable proportions. The US would be attacking another NATO nation and Canada would almost certainly invoke Article 5. Those not assisting militarily would probably sanction the shit out of the US and many of their previous treaties, pacts, and agreements would be withdrawn.

Recent polling in the US has shown that US citizens are greatly opposed to the ongoing trade war with Canada and would be even more opposed to further conflict. The executive branch ordering an attack on a historic ally and neighbour would cause catastrophic rift in the US military chain of command and I’d imagine many would disobey orders. States along the Canada/US border would likely be fiercely opposed to having their states turned into battlegrounds and would resist legally in whatever way they could.

Canada does not have the military for a large prolonged conflict, especially from our closest ally. An actual war would probably be quite shortlived, but it would also probably be the last thing the Trump administration ever does. The economic and civil-unrest blowback would rip apart his administration. Ordering your citizens to kill their neighbours, friends, and even family is not something you do without major consequences.

I was driving out of a parking lot yesterday just as a Cybertruck started to pull in off the street from the left. The driver was white-knuckling the wheel and was frantically looking around as I assume he could barely see out of the goddamn thing as he swung so wide he nearly clipped my car. He needed almost the entire driveway to make his turn.

I cannot imagine dropping so much money on something so useless and so hideous.

I can’t say I agree with the last point. Making a comment on Reddit is a dice-roll of which logical fallacy someone will attack you with. You could say “I like waffles!” and you’d instantly get a reply saying “Oh, so you think pancakes are shit then???”

It makes it genuinely difficult to have a even a mild conversation there.

Apple is likely counting on iOS fans who have resisted the temptation of getting one of the top foldable phones already available as they wait for a foldable iPhone

I think that has more to do with the fact that folding phones are eye-wateringly expensive. I expect a folding iPhone to cost even more.

I’m still using an M1 Macbook and it does me just fine.

This is very good, but I hope devs can’t just get around it by releasing a 5kb empty update to reset the counter.

It’s called AAA because that’s the sound I make when I see the pricetag.

They’ve been doing big things with the Mac lineup in recent years. Macbooks, both Pro and Air, have gotten major design shakeups and improved processors. The Mini just got a new design and hardware as well. Oh yeah, and they’ve officially ended the 8gb minimum RAM so that’s a big boost to new purchasers.

Meanwhile the iPhone has hardly changed for numerous generations now. All they really do is shuffle the camera bumps around and add in AI that nobody asked for. I have an iPhone myself but it doesn’t exactly spark much joy for me. It is a very sterile, unenthusiastic device and I get that impression from every one of their recent models. They are stagnating badly, imo. My 14P still has 100% battery health and loads every single app practically instantly. Why the hell would I get a new device? Especially when they are like $1,000+

Once again another reminder why I don’t buy games at launch.

Well, this and the near-$100 price that most AAA’s are launching at now.

Paid calculator apps.

Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.

It hasn’t been updated in ages, so maybe. It does still work well for now at least.

If you are using iOS then there is really only one place to get them- the App Store.

I’ve used both Memmy and Mlem and both are decent apps.
