  • I know who you are now, you are the one who claimed that because you are gay you were automatically right, while I responded it may actually cloud your judgement on the issue.
    Man that was months ago, and you still carry that around? Thinking my comment was anti gay when it was nothing of the sort.
    Maybe I'll just block you, because you are too weird for me.

  • Meanwhile, they are anti-immigrant, anti-lgbt, and casually racist.

    That is simply not true.
    For privacy reasons I can't describe how moronic it is to call me anti LGBT. Even saying that I have said to much. You are so far out of line, that if it was in my power, I would ban you from Lemmy completely.

  • How do you mean? This is a result of American policies, that are most definitely harmful to USA. (and to the world)
    Multiple economists have said that.

    USA is losing influence, the dollar is weakened as a reserve currency, the American economy is expected to enter a recession if this continues for much longer. How is it obsessive to wonder why Americans chose this?

  • IDK seems to me Trump is basing everything on just serving the home market, and pissing everybody else off with his baseless trade war.
    Catering only to a home market in recession, is probably just about the most idiotic strategy to support the industry, in the history of industry.

    Let me see, when was the last time "we" did that?
    Oh yeah, that was during the great depression!

  • Apple was built on innovation, and you completely left the original product out.
    Apple II, Macintosh, MacBook Air, iPod, iPhone, iPad. In software OSX was also significant, and obviously IOS that worked extremely well for both iPhone and iPad.
    The M series of SOC are also way ahead of anything else. Retina display for iPhone was also a first. And finally the technologies Apple has used to completely switch the hardware architecture of major series of products.
    First from Motorola to IBM Power, then from Power to x86, and finally from x86 to Arm. No other company has dared doing that, and when Microsoft tried to emulate it, AFTER Apple they did it way worse!

    There is no way you can realistically say Apple is not generally an innovative company, and that they aren't leaders. When 5 times they've been leading major changes within an industry. What other company did that? There are very few companies that have brought groundbreaking disruptive new products like Apple has.

    I'm saying this as one who has sworn never to buy another Apple product, because I despise the Apple closed garden mentality. So I'm definitely not a fanboy.

  • Americans believe <> all Americans.
    It just means it's a common belief held by many Americans.
    Obviously in no country do everybody hold the same belief about anything.
    So arguing against it in that meaning is a straw man.

  • Apple rarely leads the charge.

    Absolutely that is how it is now, but they did coin the format every modern smartphone uses today. And originally they were way ahead of the competition in almost every aspect. They were so dominant, that for years there was a shortage for every other manufacturer of components to build smartphones that could compete!
    But a lot has happened since the still pretty recent emergence of the first iPhone, that absolutely revolutionized the concept of smartphones.
    And the competition is absolutely cutthroat, so even major renowned labels couldn't keep up.
    Like Nokia, HTC, Ericsson that were all major brands, are now almost completely gone. Obviously the Blackberry RIM is almost gone too, and I think Microsoft is out completely now, despite they were a significant factor before iPhone, and investing billions in an attempt at a come back!

    So it is quite amazing that a statement like Apple rarely takes a lead is so easily taken as a true statement, considering how different it was just a few years ago. A testament to the absolutely crazy development cycle smartphones still have.
    Apple does however still lead on the SOC by a good margin.

  • Apple is pioneering better SOC than anybody else.
    But apart from that you are perfectly right, none of the big 3 companies are actually pioneering anything anymore.
    Google never was, but leaned on 3rd parties that made some very good Nexus phones, ending with the Huawei made P6.
    Now Google is only pioneering making a cheap camera look good heavily retouched with AI.
    Now the pioneers are mostly Chinese, while Samsung seems to be falling behind.
    Google Pixel was never a front runner, iPhone was traditionally in some areas mostly software, while Samsung was in both software and hardware.
    If you want the coolest newest stuff, it seems China is ahead with Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo etc.
    The Samsung S25 Ultra is still absolutely a great phone, and I think recognized as the leader to beat, as a well rounded high end package.

    Regarding camera I think it's getting damned hard to say which is best, comparison tests with many photo's seems to swing between one phone maker to another, and movie stabilization also vary, even with good camera.

    I think Samsung is still clearly ahead of Google and Apple, and the Chinese phones too have strengths and weaknesses. I like Xiaomi a lot in their flagship killer range, but on the top tier, they still have problems with camera stabilization Samsung handles better IMO.

    The thing that impresses me most, is how much phones still improve in a single generation.
    Maybe not enough to ditch the old one, but definitely enough to make the new model worth considering even when you can get last years model at a pretty hefty discount.

  • Telling me I can’t add sugar to my own water is bad.

    I'm not sure what real world thing you made this analogy for? But this is a straw man, because nowhere are you told you can't add sugar to your food.
    You may be told you shouldn't, because it's unhealthy. But you can still add sugar even to commercially sold food in amounts that by European standards make it actually illegal to call it food. Making it either cake or candy.
    American Fruity loops is an example that is illegal to call food in EU because of too much sugar. Apart from a number of additives that are illegal too in EU. You could still sell it in EU, but not as a breakfast cereal.

    You should not be unhappy if sugar is regulated in food you purchase. And you definitely can put more on it at home if you really want candy instead of food. Sweetener is a cheap way for the industry to make something taste batter, despite having extremely low quality.
