I dunno man, it's more-or-less correct and that's not something I've come to expect from LLM's.

For real, as an American I'm super grateful.

there are very few people who would prioritize a replaceable battery over other features.

I gotta gently push back against this. You may not know them personally, but there are a LOT of people who have gone back to dumbphones over this. IMO, this is a large part of why dumbphone sales are catching up on smartphone sales for the first time in years. I even know some elderly folks who stopped using cell phones entirely when smartphones stopped having replaceable batteries (easier going back to having a landline when one is retired/not raising kids, of course).

There are very few people who buy the currently existing smartphones who would prioritize this feature, yes -- because anyone who does prioritize this feature has been excluded from the entire smartphone market for several years now.

Yeah I'm not aware of any studies that link stimulant-based ADHD medication with abuse of street meth. But it's a pretty common meme amongst doctors for some reason.

You use terminal because you know what you are doing.

I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90's movie.

We are not the same.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!

No seriously, .compact reddit on my phone and old.reddit with RES on my desktop were all I ever wanted. They haven't gotten rid of old reddit YET but I can see the proverbial writing on the wall.

Yeah I'm a pretty left-wing guy myself but I just like the kbin interface more. I think it's really cool how this stuff all works together. That's the real dream of communism!

Hahahaha fuck. I love it when tankies are a self-solving problem.

I believe those people saying lemmy is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy were being sarcastic. Thanks for rounding this up though, I appreciate people who do the due diligence.

Nice, fuck alcohol. I quit drinking years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. My life is so much simpler and more fun now.

IMO Reddit had been sinking into enshittification since New Reddit came around, with the suggested posts and the ads.

However. No one expected the process to lurch forward so quickly. I think the Reddit admins were trying to enshittify things slowly, but after looking at what happened with Twitter in the last year or so, they realized they could "tear the bandaid off" so to speak, and maintain (perhaps I should say attain?) profitability.

It's a bunch of horseshit. I was never comfortable with so much of the internet being concentrated into corporate-owned spaces and I'm glad to see that other people feel the same way.

Isn't it a bit irresponsible to let bigoted trolls post a lot of dick pics? Because that's what was going on. You're talking about [theoretical problems], but the mods of Beehaw made a (possibly flawed) call during an emerging situation to avoid a lot of [actually existing problems].
