Exactly. The app developers were willing to make changes but they didn’t give them nearly enough time to do it. They dropped the changes at the last-minute and then lied about what they and the developers said in their private conversations. Then they got mad at the Apollo dev for recording it to cover their ass. It’s like getting mad at your partner when you cheated on them lol.
I use mine everyday. I listen to music, podcasts, and sometimes watch videos at work, basically the entire time I’m working. I usually have my phone connected and charging at the same time through the charge port. Wireless charging doesn’t work because of my Pop Socket.
They also break or I lose them in occasion and it takes a quick trip to any gas station, grocery store, or basically any nearby store during my lunch break, and I’m able to pick up replacements for $10-$20.
Fair to say, I refuse to buy my next phone without headphone jacks. I do use wireless headphones for when I’m working out, but otherwise, at work or on walks, I use wired ones connected to my headphone jack.
50% of people keep voting for it, so some people must love it.
So is everybody just snapping at each other more? Like is the friend group more angry? I’m kind of confused at the nature of the toxicity. But it does feel like the pressure of society making people a lot more tired and stressed, quick to snap. I’ve notice the same thing with some of friends of mine, and it’s unfortunate =(
The Middle East in general has oil and Israel is our main base over there basically, being an ally in the region. They give us a zone of control. (Also Turkey but Israel is easier to control and it’s good to have backups.)
I like this. It’s applicable basically everywhere nowadays.
Wasn’t there some companion game to EVE Online that was supposed to be like that?
I loved Final Fantasy IX but sometimes I think I dreamed it because no one else ever talks about it, just VI, VII, and then over to X usually lol.
Damn that sucks. That guy should quit, or just do the job the slowest they can.
I’d also recommend [email protected]. They seem to find some pretty good communities.
Reddit does get super echo chamber-y in some places, though. Check out any thread in /r/worldnews lately and all the comments. They’re all of the same opinion. At least on Lemmy I see disagreement. I see as many complaints about tankies on Lemmy as I do tankies themselves, for example. The only one I’ve seen in this thread has all their comments in the negative.
I agree and have noticed the same things. I don’t think Lemmy is big enough to attract the state sponsors yet like Reddit is but it will probably be susceptible to the same issues when it is.
So like the relays or whatever that Mastadon has but topic and community focused?
Right? I know Sam Altman sucks but I don’t know if he was fired for more profit or less, or what exactly is going on. I’m not sure how to react to these articles besides surprise and bemusement.
Thanks! You seemed very informed about the conflict so yours felt like a good comment to ask that question under, which had been on my mind since I saw it under an old Abby Martin video of her interviews with Israelis. That video looks like it will probably take some time to watch but it gives me a place to start.
It’s hilarious for all the “democracy” the US loves to “export”, it actually has a pretty terrible democracy. Wildly popular policies have no way to make their way to the government unless a rich person or corporation also lobbies for it.
They migrated from North Arabia and took Jewish land every time the Jews were forcefully removed by a long line of oppressors. Then, when every Arab country started kicking out Jews, thy had nowhere to go but their homeland. When they arrived in the early 40’s en masse, the Palestinian leader met with Hitler to see about exterminating them. You got the colonizer/colonized dynamic backwards. This is what happens when you get your info from Facebook.
I saw this YouTube comment where people were arguing whether the Palestinians or Jewish people were there first. Does anyone know how accurate this comment is?
Yup I think I’m going to have to share this a lot, especially with a lot of people here in the States that only know that Hamas sucks (which it does) but don’t know the conditions in Gaza or what Israel has done to exacerbate this situation. It’s the best take I’ve heard on the situation so far. That organization of parents of dead kids from both sides was the first thing to give me hope about this conflict in awhile.
The comment the last guy said was especially poignant. “Were going to have to either share this land, or share the graveyard underneath it.”
That’s what people said last election. We always have to push them to be better the next election. Always settle for worse. What a shit electoral system the US has. And the hilarious part is that unless that person you’re talking to lives in a swing state their vote probably doesn’t matter anyway.
