Who is this Occam and how much will be charge me per year to use his razor?

This got a proper laugh out of me and that rarely happens, well done!

How much development time does it actually take up? Genuine question.

I mean it might sound an obvious choice but 'She Loves You' by The Beatles is basically this.

that Elon is a business genius

Spez is on record as being one of those people. The only person in tech who looks at Twitter and thinks "yeah, that's what we need to be aiming for!"

I've never had a problem with Android but I've always used Samsung. My dad gets the cheapest phones he can find in the shop though and funnily enough they don't always work out for the best.

I've had a go on my mum's iPhone a few times. Pretty much the same as Android - it's a smartphone - but it is nice.

Is this even a thing in 2023? I don't know anyone who cares about that kind of stuff at all

The only conceivable place I can think of this conversation happening now irl is teenagers bullying each other over the type of phone they have - so I hope that's not you getting bullied OP and having to vent here - but it's fine if it is.

This was my take.

I'm watching from a distance but I'm not getting involved because Reddit want as much traffic right now as they can. They didn't do this just for fun. They're milking the bad publicity to get more publicity. Don't fall for it

Actually I'm a lot of places it was. If you look at what happened in Germany in the early 20s with the rise of Freikorps and other ex soldiers roaming the streets and looking for trouble that is exactly what ex soldiers were doing at that time.

Explaining why the government grant offered isn't enough for most people to get one. Was having a conversation with people on here about heat pumps yesterday. Interesting read.

It's an interesting discussion point but ultimately I think one that doesn't change much in the grand scheme of things. Primarily I'd start by saying we should respect whatever what anyone wants to do.

But I can see what the OP means that information that might prove useful to others disappearing from the internet and be seen as a loss, or an act of self censorship to prove a point. And that deleting that data will have a negligible effect on Reddit's profitability because very few users are doing it.

However, I also think as a protest against the way the site has treated its users over the last month it's understandable that people want to take their ball and go home. And more to the point show Reddit exactly who owns the content they are claiming to own. Users owe nothing to Reddit and want to exercise their freedom of choice, good on them.

I'm picking up on a trend in this community though - it is possible to have an unpopular opinion and not be a dick about it at the same time. I'm sure I read that somewhere.

From your tone it doesn't sound like you're comfortable with the idea. Would it be so bad to try retaking it? Would your parents be angry or give you grief over it? I know there's different levels of acceptability of bribery in different parts of the world so I'm guessing your somewhere where it's not as strictly monitored as where I am.

But go with your instincts. At the end of the day it's you taking the risk of paying a bribe, not your parents, and it's your moral choice, not theirs. But at the same time I know how annoying parental pressure can be!

I've had a Kindle for years - to be fair to Amazon kindles seem to be built to last - and used to do the same.

But last time I did I got an email saying they're abandoning the mobi format and from now on when emailing documents to your Amazon library send it in epub format. Which is excellent news

I'd be hugely surprised if this isn't full of 'this sub is restricted' 'this sub is NSFW' 'fuck u/spez', John Oliver pics, Lemmy, Kbin, Apollo and all the other 3rd party app logos...

So much iconography to choose from. The admins will be all over it trying to censor it

Kbin with PWA. Happy enough with that but interested to see what happens with the Artemis app as well

No other option really at the moment, but curious what scripts you're using?

I don't mind memes in general but assuming you the template memes like the Wojak clip art that people use to assemble something unfunny in a rush... I can get behind your point absolutely

Nothing new there.

I use Minireview to get game recommendations to bypass searching through the play store

Yep... No cause for concern...

I don't see that much difference between Lemmy and Kbin. It is true that if you are on Mastodon your boosts on Kbin will show on Mastodon (for instance)

But I've created a separate account to keep them apart. I don't have Twitter but I wouldn't have wanted my Reddit likes showing up on Twitter
