lol my guy it’s the most intuitive, straightforward, natural way to go back that I can imagine. You just swipe the window back.

You’ve got a naive definition of ‘normal’.

I’d say that the vast majority of people who stumble across a curated Andrew Tate clip and think that the very carefully selected soundbite resonates with them are “normal.”

That’s the issue with deeply personalized targeted marketing. People get presented with a representation of something that isn’t accurate. Instead, it’s tightly tailored to be agreeable, which can result in “normal” people forming positive sentiments towards things that they’d absolutely disagree with if they were presented with a truthful representation.

If someone is swayed by instructions to kill themselves, they are, be definition, consuming content they desire.

That’s a bad argument. Marketing is one thing, manipulation is totally different.

There’s nothing specifically wrong with marketing in general, but marketers with access to enormous amounts of private information blur the line between advertising and manipulation. Using people’s private information to each individual exactly what they want to hear about a candidate without regard to the truth is absolutely something that we should be concerned about.

You have no idea what you’re talking about, if you think people here are bad you must be the most fragile little snowflake who ever lived.

Go curl up and jerk off in your safe space.

/s for those who weren’t sure.

Downvoting because “tard”

Yeah, totally respect your opinion, but I emphatically disagree with it. The goal of what’s being discussed here isn’t to maximize production for the sake of shareholders, it’s to maximize quality of life for employees. To that end, five six-hour days are worse than four 8-to-10-hour days.

If I start work at 8 and get off work at 2:30 or 3, I still can’t start my camping trip a day early, or spend the day at the water park with my kids. I still have to give up n x 10 hours of my life, where n is my commute time, assume I work in-office.

I would much rather work until 630 Monday through Thursday, and have an extra day where full-day activities are possible every week. That’s worth more to me than 10 extra hours per week of after-work time.

The wording is a little misleading. A “white noise” podcast isn’t just 80 hours of TV static, it might be a recording of a cafe, a bus station, nature, a storm, etc. not something that’s just generated on-device, meaning it’s gotta be streamed.

It’s not technically true that Mac is Linux, but people say Mac “is” Linux because they are closely related and function identically for a lot of workflows.

Bear in mind that most people think of Linux in a DE-agnostic way. “Linux” isn’t what your desktop looks like, it’s a collection of a kernel and (mostly GNU) software that is largely shared between many distributions. Mac feels a lot like a different distribution of Linux, with some (or a lot of) quirks.

I’m a SWE and I work heavily in a CLI environment. I can use the same shell with the same software and the same configuration files shared between my Linux machine and my MacBook. Honestly the biggest indicator that I’m on Mac instead of Linux is that I have to remember to use homebrew instead of pacman/apt/etc. Otherwise, I was move my entire Linux workflow to Mac in a day or two, and can maintain the two environments in parallel.

Trying to do the same in windows is… frustrating, and only works at all because of the WSL letting me run a Linux pseudo-VM on top of my windows session.

Some cases? hjkl is such a euphoric way to move around that all my keyboards have the arrow keys mapped to those letters under a layer. Truly a game changer.

I think people get excited because hypothetically, growth should accelerate. The more people are using mastadon, the more mastadon becomes a viable alternative to shitter

I have personally never had something I’ve searched for not show up, I’ve never had the App Store crash a single time (I don’t think I’ve ever had any first-party app crash on iOS actually), and it’s always loaded for me as fast as my network will allow.

Just another anecdotal point of view, maybe the situation is different if you’re using an older iPhone?

What are these containers that you’re talking about?

I was an employee at In-N-Out for four years, it’s actually a pretty nice company to work for. Compared to food service in general, it’s an amazing company. Much better pay than the industry average. Management gets bonuses for promoting people within a set number of hours, so everyone gets pushed to move up. Actual benefits, and if you want to make a career of it, management at my store made ~$160,000, which was pretty typical. They also don’t hire managers, they only promote from within, everyone has to start as a level 1, which is kind of cool.

Don’t know if your question was genuine, but INO was one of the first (technically, the 2nd) drive through restaurant to open back in 1948. The name was meant to convey that you get food quickly.

In-N-Out is a little controversial in online discussions because people on the internet just love to be contrarian for whatever reason, but out in the physical realm, it’s got an extremely dedicated following. The food is pretty decent for what it is, it’s also really inexpensive for what it is, and the company has ridiculously high standards for food safety, cleanliness, service, etc. They’re kind of an outlier in the fast-food burger world because they’re still totally family-owned, and the current owner is very sentimental about ‘preserving her grandparents’ legacy’ by not compromising on virtually anything.

The food is all as fresh as can be, the meat comes from company owned distribution centers where it’s produced from start to finish. Goes from cow to hamburger in less than 3 days, the stores don’t even have freezers because they get fresh fresh shipments every 3rd night. Potatoes are peeled, diced and fried on site, all the produce comes as whole tomatoes, onions and heads of lettuce and gets prepped at least twice a day, with any leftovers getting thrown out at the end of the night.

It’s funny because the whole ‘always fresh’ thing kind of negatively impacts the fries in particular in some ways. Fries taste better when they’re more heavily processed. Taking a potato, peeling it, dicing it up, frying it in oil for 5 minutes and serving it is fun to watch (the kitchen is behind a window and is visible from the dining room and drive through), but McDonalds fried taste better haha.

Didn’t mean to rant, I really did enjoy a lot about working there and it can be fun to talk about once in a while.

iPhones get OS updates for ~6 years, security patches for longer. In 2021, apple updated a 9 year old phone with a security patch.

Apple is objectively the only way to go if you want a device that you’ll be able to use for >5 years.

Ah, but then they’d have to use an iPhone if they want to keep their device for 10 years, and everyone knows Apple is evil doesn’t let you use old phones. /s

Hilarious that that only phone OEM that meaningfully supports hardware past 5 years is the one that the goofy goobers here love to shit on for checks notes not letting them use older hardware.

The good news for you is that most 10 year old phones have user serviceable batteries, so you’re free to keep using those if you want.

Not much you can do about software updates, unless you want to pay significantly more for a new phone to cover the cost of OEMs having to pay their engineers to build those updates for the dozens of phones that get released over a 10 year window.

There are plenty of smartphones with user replaceable batteries, consumers just don’t want to buy them. Gaskets that are robust enough to keep out every bit of humidity are always going to be a little thicker than adhesive, which means phones that use gaskets are always in the “rugged” market segment, or the less-premium segment where people don’t care about a few mm dimensionally.

Glad to see I’m not the only sane person on these threads.

Apples a corporation that only exists to generate profit, they definitely suck as much as every other corporation, but the ‘Apple slowed down phones to make people upgrade’ thing is so braindead that it hurts.

Oh wow I had no idea that lemmy and mastadon used the same protocol.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does that mean for the ability of lemmy servers and mastadon servers being federated with each other? I wouldn’t have thought that was possible, but if we’re talking about lemmy being federated with threads, I feel like I must be misunderstanding how something works.

Yeah, and that would give people an outlet for when they want to express how they feel about some content without having to muddy the default prioritize/deprioritize-based sorting.
