I mean, it’s an obvious scam. Always has been. They only have a few tech demos, and bunch of polished marketing material. There’s nothing to actually release.

Though i agree it could be fun at first, conspiracies are legit dangerous. People are so desperate for meaning, 17% of Americans believe the government is lead by a kabaal of satanic lizard people eating babies and shit like that.
My mom is deep into the rabbit hole of nonsense, and it genuinely consumes her. Nearly all her friends abandoned her, she almost lost her job, and that’s only reinforcing these convictions. If something like January 6th was happening in my country, I bet you, she’d be there. The time conspiracies were harmless fun are gone. They ruin people’s lives.

Remember that consumers expect certain things from smartphones nowadays, which will mean that OEMs can’t just go back to the old way of doing things. An IP68 rating would be very difficult to obtain while still offering a premium-feeling device with an easily replaceable battery, for example. These are hurdles OEMs will need to get over to be in compliance.

this is straight-up BS. there were many phones with ip68 and user-replacable batteries back when sealing the battery in a phone was frowned upon. not all but many.

Lemm.ee is omnipresent

There is this lukewarm comment @sunaurus made yesterday but I would very much appreciate a definitive stance on the topic, please. I do believe that having Meta here poses a real threat to the future of fediverse. It may not be the case right now but considering the company’s history, I think it’s very safe to assume only the worst. As explained in the article linked above.

People left reddit because of corporate f*ckery, and some of them are now making excuses for meta?? What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

Fun fact, you can also press ZQ in normal mode to exit without saving.
