Wow, what a supermodel!

Broadband ISPs also had protected monopoly or duopoly status for a really long time. It’s been fucking hilarious watching the cable company freak out because T-Mobile 5G is a viable option in my area now.

These geriatrics need to fucking retire. Gen X basically got shut out of federal politics, and the best-known millennial didn’t take federal office until 2019.

This is some scary shit. I really don’t understand the Trump cult at all.

.com was a common file extension for MS-DOS executables, which was still in common use when the Internet started taking off.

Yes, it’s practically mandatory here…

Well, I’ve been giving Mammoth and Ice Cubes a try instead of the official app, and I don’t think I’m going back to official. They can both see way more posts, and translation actually works.

The lack of discovery features are why I never really got into Mastodon, but it seems like the third party apps got that right.

Hmm…

I found it very cheesy, tbh. Nacho average distro.

Dude’s a racist fraud who can’t form a sentence. That’s what you get when you “vote blue no matter who.” We need to do better than Biden.

This video has nothing to do with battery replacements.

Interesting. It’s great that Fairphone is actually living up to their promises!

Samsung epoxies the batteries in their phones, not Apple. Apple uses Command pull tabs. But, you know, Samsung is always innocent on the Internet.

I haven’t had an issue with following hashtags with the official app. I can even get a list of hashtags I’m following.

Haha agreed, I just can’t resist sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My definition of “planned obsolescence” includes devices that either come with outdated software from the factory, or devices that stop getting OS updates after a year or two. To accuse Apple of planned obsolescence in this context is absurd to me when all of their competitors are objectively worse at supporting their phones.

Again, name ONE other smartphone that is supported by the manufacturer for 5+ years.

Voyager is amazing and it’s my main for Lemmy, but I don’t have any issues with the official Mastodon app. Is there something the other Mastodon apps do that the official one doesn’t?

Sure, if you don’t care about being able to install new apps. Apple has many faults, but planned obsolescence is not one of them, especially since they OFFICIALLY support their devices 2-3 times as long as every single Android device out there.

Also, every iOS update has added functionality. I feel like I get a new phone every fall.

Name one Android phone that gets 5 years of the latest OS, without rooting or installing a third party OS, followed by another couple years of security updates.
