That’s why I clarified in my reply…

You should re read my reply and try again…
That’s great! I’m glad you found something that works for you. Like I said, my laptop is running Linux (Arch btw) and I’ve had fun learning a new OS and I do enjoy the lack of bloatware.
I guess what I meant to say is that people act like windows is unusable, as in, they can’t figure out how to use the OS like it’s something very complex.
I couldn’t help but look at your post history, and I see that you’re against Russia invading Ukraine. Well our same politicians that are feeding us shit slop are the same ones that are sending billions of dollars to Ukraine in aid and supplies to help Ukraine win this war.
Again the U.S. isn’t perfect, but people always seem to have to find a way to make it sound like it’s the worst country in the world when in reality it’s not.
I’ve lived in a couple of different countries myself and speaking with the natives there, I would hear so many things they considered that was bad about their country and government, and how they would love to live in the U.S. I was always confused about this because I hear so much negativity about the U.S. online but in reality it seems quite the opposite.
I was taught American exceptionalism and said the national anthem every school day of my childhood, K-12.
I was too and did the same, but I was taught to break away from the mold and usual thinking as a young adult pretty early on (thank you parents and to some of my teachers). I’m sorry to hear that those people in your life lied to you and never thought to help you break out of that mold.
The states is so vast that what you’re saying doesn’t always apply to another person. It’s funny because you mention being born in Seattle and growing up in LA. Well I was born in Georgia and most people would have you believe living in the south is shit (which to be fair, some places are), but I can say my life experience has been completely different than yours.
As I mentioned before the states has its problems for sure but it’s not all bad and your experience can vastly differ from another.
The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly… Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it’s like the wild wild west over here… I promise I’m not fearing for my life every time I go out.
The extreme left views (I’m liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)
The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.
The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let’s be real, how many casual users are doing this?)
People always asking if something is FOSS…
These are just a few off the top of my head.
This! I use Linux on my laptop but also have a desktop that runs Windows 10. Some people here act like windows is completely unusable when in reality it’s much more user friendly than Linux.
No worries! I was just a little confused when I tried it on my iPhone and it worked.
I was able to uninstall all of the apps you just mentioned on iPhone just to cure my curiosity.
Which Apple device is not letting you uninstall those apps?
Oh I’ve actually been told by fat people that there’s no way that I actually enjoy working out and that I’m forcing myself to go to the gym while not enjoying it.
Guess it’s weird I like improving my physique and enjoying seeing how I can reach new goals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is actually pretty cool. Feels like I never left reddit now haha.
The indicator LED is one of those small features that I actually really miss!
I’m currently using a pixel 6 pro. I took a long break from Androids. The last one that I owned was a S9 Plus.
I love the screen with the high refresh rate and it’s really responsive. I also love the live translate feature and all of the neat AI tricks that it has as well. I also was very hesitant because I’ve heard a lot about the battery life being bad, but the battery on mine is really good, as well as the fingerprint reader.
The only thing that I dislike would be the grip of the phone. I played around with both the pixel 6 and the pro and I would have to say the regular pixel 6 has a better grip, but I love the higher refresh rate and display on the 6 pro.
Edit: Oh and of course, the camera is amazing!
I recently just bought a pixel 6 and have been interested in Graphene OS, but would I lose features like live translate and the hold for me feature?
Haha no worries! To be fair, my quote is from a different article.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jun/12/microsoft-activision-blizzard-deal-ftc-regulators
According to this article, Microsoft has agreed to sign a legally binding agreement with the FTC.
“Microsoft has said the deal would benefit gamers and gaming companies alike, and offered to sign a legally binding consent decree with the FTC to provide Call of Duty games to rivals including Sony for a decade.”
Now for the future, that I couldn’t tell you what Microsoft would do, but I believe the Microsoft of today is all about bringing these types of services and games to all. I think if they were to end support and only keep call of duty exclusive to Xbox it would actually do more harm to them than good.
I agree. This is going on way too long.
From what I understand of the merger it seems like it would benefit gamers as a whole. It seems initially the main reason to stop this was to block Microsoft from exclusive rights over Call of Duty, which doesn’t seem what Microsoft is intending to do.
Microsoft has even agreed to bring call of duty to Sony’s Playstation for 10 years, and also to bring call of duty to the Nintendo switch.
Maybe I’m missing something here, but I really don’t see how this would hurt the gaming market, which is what is being argued here.
Depends on the exercise. My favorites are heavy squat and deadlifts. It’s just a good feeling increasing the weight every week and hitting new maxes while getting stronger.
I suck at bench so I’m never looking forward to that, but I’ve set goals to hit by the end of the year so I’m sticking to it.
Honestly now, I feel terrible when I don’t workout and it really affects my mental state.
Thanks for this! I’m getting into cyber security so I’ll have to check some of these out.
I’m starting to realize this also. At first, Lemmy seemed great with conversations, but it’s starting to shift waaay too far left and I’m a liberal myself.
Honestly considering going back to Reddit… just sucks because the only mobile option is their shitty app.
