I'm pretty sure the whole "iPhone as a status symbol" thing is a thing of the past - I literally can't remember anytime in the last 5 years that anyone expressed envy at someone owning a iphone.
I'd argue that yearly upgrades regardless of phone brand are more of the status symbol now
I would fucking love it if I could put all my configs there, but unfortunately every other CLI tool seems to feel it needs a spot in the home dir instead..
Especially impactful when you consider that Death basically never passes judgement on individuals in the series. For him to try and dissuade Brutha from helping Vorbis shows a level of disdain he usually only reserves for people who are cruel to cats
Shepards crown? I'm deliberately not reading it in the hope that my future kids fall in love with Discworld and we can read it together
Even if it is, they're conveniently skipping over the fact that even I their own untrue version of events, they still spent their life in prison after being caught (also pretty sure they don't let you fuck "fans" through the bars in prison, but hey - I'm no expert)
Generally speaking whether I like a character or not has very little to do with whether I think they're moral. One of my favorite characters in any book is a horrendously evil man - like approaching Hitler levels, though on a smaller scale - but goddamn is he a fascinating character to read (Vorbis from Small Gods - which if you haven't read it is a masterpiece)
What exactly do people complain about Windows doing that Linux also does? Trying to be neutral here, but I can't think of a single issue that is a common windows complaint that is also an issue on Linux. I can think of plenty of issues for both OS's (and MacOS too fwiw), but the venn diagram of windows issues and Linux issues is just two non overlapping circles as far as I can tell lol
on this site at least - you're absolutely right, and the fact that you're getting bombed with downvotes is pretty solid anecdotal evidence of that if nothing else lol
Don't get me wrong, I get just as annoyed by those who insist Apple can do no wrong as those who insist they can do no right. I just find it weird how pseudo-religious people can get about Apple. It seems like you're not allowed to just view them as another tech company. You have to either crusade against them, or else you're a paid apple shill
Yeah I think a better answer would've been "an ad with a black man smiling at his white wife"
For bonus points, make it clear in the ad that the man is a house husband and the wife is a working professional lol
I mean, that's cool - but it's still on the front page today
They 100% did
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty to gripe about with apple, just like every tech company, but I swear half the complaints I hear about Apple products on lemmy are either outdated or just plain wrong
For some reason the anti-Apple circle jerk is supercharged on Lemmy. I'll never understand why people get themselves so worked up over a brand they never have to do business with
At the time I made the comment, it was literally just those downvote and not one up vote(except the one by the OP), hence my comment
Its actually an interesting phenomenon I've noticed on reddit and now lemmy - if someone is getting down voted for something dumb like violating the circle jerk, if a child comment points it out, the downvote stop instantly and it starts being up voted ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
