Idiots. This is a “don’t you guys have phones” moment, but about the GM management and I mean it unironically.

Especially for new car buyers. It’s a much more iPhone heavy group than the general population.

At least in countries where I’ve lived, there were two expensive phones that are popular: Samsung Galaxy, and iPhones. The only GM could have boned this harder is if they somehow nerfed the experience on Samsung flagships too.

These schools are using iPads in place of computer labs. I’m old enough to have actually managed a computer lab, and I can tell you that a fleet of managed iPads is way easier to maintain than a computer lab.

He’s certainly done me a favour. I wasn’t really in to Twitter but hadn’t heard of Mastodon until the 3rd app dust up.

Turns out Mastodon is very much my speed. I’m glad he decided to blow up Twitter.

That and they want to make public platforms miserable for the people they hate.

I’m in the same boat. I didn’t think I’d end up caring about Threads much, especially since it didn’t even launch where I live.

But seeing how much Musk hates it has been pretty funny.

It’s always interesting to see this perspective as I basically feel the exact opposite. I use an iPhone, and have an Android phone as a test device for work. Generally, my iPhone and Mac are so much easier to use together than an Android phone and Windows or Linux PC.

Universal clipboard and AirDrop are built into the OS and way better than KDE Connect. Shortcuts is also much easier and more powerful than Tasker. Plus excellent apps like Prologue, NetNewsWire, Ivory, or Elastic Drums have no parallels on Android.

For whatever reason, iOS users are more willing to pay for software and that makes the software available on iOS significantly better.

You and I must have been in opposite threads there. Because it was weird, but in the opposite way you’re describing.

Once saw one where I guy’s wife let her sister something close to 1% of their savings because both the sister and her partner had been laid off in one month. The guy went ballistic and move everything out of their joint accounts into ones under his name only, and gave her a strict allowance. People on reddit were telling him that’s nowhere enough, he should apparently divorce her right away, and maybe sue her.

They were also convinced that because of this one short term loan the SIL and BIL were now going to think he’s a sucker, and they’d move in.

It was weird. Those places often get weird though because people in healthy relationships, or single but happy about it, just don’t show up. So you just gave a cycle of people unhappy with their personal relationships goading other equally unhappy people.

I’m not sure how many users will actually stay away. But if even a small fraction of the mods for these big subs stay away Reddit’s gonna have a problem.

Lemmy will pull some mods away, traditional forums will pull some away, and that could really hurt.

However, only time will tell if that ends up happening.
