@simplejack @AProfessional no you have to stick to the “this one company doesn’t sell as much as all of the other companies combined” view of it
because
@technomad I’ve been keeping a lot of my friends aware of what’s going on in the fediverse (especially around Threads, which they’re more aware of) through a discord channel I run on our server that’s dedicated to what’s going on in the world of tech
Conceptually I prefer using the email analogy for how it actually works since that’s pretty close
Gatekeeping the fediverse isn’t good for it, get people to join up, you have control over what you see
@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”
@FarraigePlaisteach nuance is not inversely proportional to market cap
@FarraigePlaisteach 99 times out of 100 the reason phones are getting slow is not updates, its a failing battery
Hold corporations accountable, but also don’t just shit on things to shit on them, device support isn’t that simple
@FarraigePlaisteach @return2ozma 5 years is way longer than most people keep their phones, and it’s also “at least” Apple has been known to push updates to older devices way past that
An update to iOS 15 came out not too long ago iirc
Plus there are so many variables that go into whether a device will be able to actually run a particular version of software so giving a hard commitment at all is going to be conservative
@return2ozma committing to a number of years of software updates is…odd, not necessarily in the sense that nobody else is doing it, but in the sense that there are so many variables that go into whether or not a device will be supported on an update it’s actually kind of hard to set that kind of deadline and truthfully stick to it
The same with the claims from Google and Samsung: I’ll believe it when I see it (after all, remember PixelPass?)
@DJDarren @dustyData I used two generations of this thing and it was…bad
@DJDarren @dustyData this?
@DavidGA @AusatKeyboardPremi hush, you, this is Lemmy, where we get mad at anything and everything and ignore any appeal to reason because we just want to spend our time yelling at companies instead of dealing with real problems
@ozymandias117 I see now
Then how would they be training AI on it? If they don’t have it? If it’s on device what’s the problem? Deleting a photo doesn’t wipe the bits to 0, it never has
@Valmond @ozymandias117 oh so we’re still doing the baseless-accusation-without-knowing-how-it-works thing?
They keep deleted photos for a time in iCloud in case someone comes looking for them
Every cloud storage provider does it, every mail server does it, it’s incredibly commonplace
@DirigibleProtein @Nunar kids are assholes, some adults act like children, it’s inevitable
It’s not because the bubbles are green, it’s not because SMS is bad, it’s because people suck
