My bank apps all work (though YMMV.) Ticket app worked (AXS.) I haven’t actually used google pay or google wallet for anything to know if they work.

Authy is the only miss I’ve found and it wouldn’t have mattered if i hadnt been caught in the midst of migrating to another app for that when they decided to be assholes.

She somehow managed to perform worse with women than Biden did (53% vs 55%.)

The hanging chad would like a word with you.

Volume.

Probably part of someone’s marketing budget at Apple.

I use Joplin on top of Nextcloud.

Yeah good point, the type of miles probably matters a lot.

23.54 crashes per 1,000 drivers in the past year.

If someone cared about actually comparing this, they’d normalize for the number of miles driven, instead of cherry-picking something so it sounds bad.

This is disengenuous.

Pixel devices are trivially easy to unlock

Except that, in my several decades, literally no one ever said that. if someone did say that, they’re ignorant or selling something.

I believe that is patented

I always have a tablet or an old phone lying around.

Yeah, I’d disable that if I could. I’d much rather have no thumbnail than an animated one.

Some mowers are designed that way. Mine advertised “no oil changes”, but really it means I have to add oil a couple times a year instead of draining it.

Fuck them for these games. It’s an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I’ve tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

That’s not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn’t care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can’t easily do on my mobile clients.

No big deal. It’s not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.

And use copper pot still with silver solder.

Never heard of, eg, Vioxx or thalidomide, I take it?

That’s a hard NO from me, dawg. If Lemmy goes down that path, I will just not comment. My account settings let me just block bots. I dont need my resources wasted so I can interact with the “good bots”.

Since the requests it uses to fetch communities from the remote instances are unauthenticated, it won’t show you any that are marked NSFW.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had noticed that it was omitting nsfw and meant to ask you at some point.
