Anything trying to push a narrative in a subtle or not so subtle way. Pushing an idealogy you fucktards. The fact that you don’t understand this means you’re also pushing the idealogy as the target audience.
But sure dumb it down to “anything I don’t like” because you’re too fucking dense to understand its context.
You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …
Seriously. And this momo who said “they aren’t expanding” below your post clearly missed the point.
This mega merger / conglomerate / business venture / friendly takeover whatever you want to call it bullshit is the issue.
The fact that all these fools are already calling it “Max” as it’s now called under the latest rebranding is proof positive of that. The fucking service changed names only 3 months ago.
The Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro have leaked extensively in the last few months. These phones should officially debut in just over a month since Google typically announces new Pixels in early October. Leaked renders and hands-on images have already given us a good look at the Pixel 8’s design. Now, Google itself has accidentally...
Going for the jordi look from Star Trek. Bad enough people already call it a “visor.”
I think I’m going to wait until the Pixel 10 when they have thermal issues under control. It’s their own fuckin chipset at this point basically so no excuses.
I need a brighter display in sunlight and a better front facing camera, and thermal management. Everything else is bullshit.
Seems really awesome and promising however I’m not really trying to have an outdated computer (read: phone) at 600 euro. Not even available in north America right now.
I like what they’re trying to do, however 10 years is an eternity in the tech world and if this company doesn’t sell enough phones - likely enough of this phone, then whose to say this company will even be around in 10 years, much less have a dev team competent enough to take over support where Qualcomm left off?
This is one of those huge promises that manufacturers make, with little to no evidence of being able to back it up.
This is a case though where your other sound systems you guys are also trying to plug into are outdated. Because your phone is not among your outdated productsl, doesn’t mean it’s a manufacturers’ fault. They are simply catering to the market.
Newer head units (stand alone audio sources) have Bluetooth and other connectivity features plus a jack anyways.
So because you’re using outdated shit it’s the phones fault? Let me ask you, so you think more devices in the future will have jacks or less? Answer: less. The sooner you change your equipment the less heartache you’ll have.
Yeah man and they said that with the horse and buggy as well which had been around for thousands of years, and DVD and laser disk, and mp3’s and jet flight.
Yeah, there’s still a niche if you’re wanting to “win” your argument. But you may as well shout at the wall.
Manufacturers don’t care about your niche use cases especially since arguably better alternatives have come about.
You created the need, not the manufacturer, not me, not your mamma YOU DID. And you can still get phones with a headphone jack your just pissy every phone doesn’t come with one.
While the Pixel 6 ushered in three years of major Android OS version updates and an additional two for security patches, that’s still nowhere near the longevity of the iPhone. Google hopes to change that on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro with noticeably more OS updates.
Awesome, with low post counts and users on Lemmy, and an upvote system that mimics Reddits - your shit out of luck with whatever agenda for keeping lemmy “small” or however you pictured it in your mind.
The upvotes have spoken and the community wants to see this type of information.
Is it low effort though? There’s an entire generation that wasn’t around for the introduction of the iPhone and may have no idea this quote even existed.
Android currently has an image problem with this generation. To say the two are not related and chalking it up to “low effort” is, in itself, low effort.

A perfect example of this is in Terminator 1, the brief shot of Arnold in the mirror of the hotel. It’s so obviously inconsistent with the animatronics that, had they just spent more time on Arnold’s makeup they would have nailed it.
I know for a fact practical effects were up to par in 1984.
Yea… yea but that’s not what you said. You implicitly said “strapped to AI powered AR with a fleshlight” or some nonsense like that. And then when called out about how that would not work societally - you then default to “there’s no stigma with regular porn”.
Y’all probably would love this utopia. Socially inept legions of men ostracized from society jacking off in their mothers basement with AR / AI till the end of time.
Question is why? And why when this article is talking about James Dean?
Your a fucking idiot. I’m on your side. I was responding to a comment saying that that’s a good thing. Perhaps it is for you and that’s fine, jack off in your mother’s basement then for all I give a shit.
Normalizing this behavior is not healthy for anyone but I also don’t believe in ostracizing it.
I do think they will essentially die. They will morph into completely different websites, but I think they will be around for a long time, and I think their userbase won’t shrink even a bit....
Thanks. Yeah that’s a big motivator for us as well you can only buy so much cheap Chinese Amazon shit.
That, and we like the idea of having a store to return items if need be, but it’s not as easy as Amazon, there’s no streaming services and they carry less products.
I recently watched the first two Godfather movies, and after a quick search I found out about the Godfather Saga (the 7-hour chronological cut).

I honestly don’t give a shit about your hot take. It’s nepotism at its finest, she ruined the third movie single handedly and I brought it up specifically in reference to “wise artistic choices” ya Muppet.
I don’t give a fuck that you think her performance was stellar and there was nobody else to play the role. I don’t.
