It is quite normal for any business to lose customers after everyone try’s it out. This is being framed negatively, but having 50m users after only a few weeks is amazing. And I say this as someone that refuses to use FB.

They have added the blue jump button. It makes it hard to upvote comments at the bottom, but love that it is there.

Trying to split the vote or get a wolf in sheep’s clothing past primaries.

Whose lab, and why? They do not come cheap.

Cheap houses make perfect AirBnB’s.

Agree, title does not make sense. It supposedly uses a periscope lens. Is that an inch long? Is the cutout a full inch?

No expert, but I have a Mastodon account + app and a Lemmy account + app.

I have trouble believing gas stoves give off that much emissions.

Is this British?

8:10-3:10 here. And they do not want students there before 7:50. That makes it impossible to get to work on time. Luckily my boss lets me shift my day somewhat.

During the 9-5.

Perhaps. But only the last 2-4 years. No student below high school should have homework (there is research to back this up). And they can do it in study hall, not necessarily at home. College courses have like half the class time, so professors hit the hard parts and expect students to read and get the rest on their own.

Just because students are at school does not mean they are in a typical class. Our school has athletics right after classes. We got out about 5. Just make other options, perhaps skills, clubs, study hall, etc.

Google’s Pixel phones are supposedly really good. And they run stock Android.

But DXO Mark has a handy ranking, here: DXO Mark Phone Camera Rankings

Nearly half still using it is actually pretty good. Stupid headline.

I can’t show it to my family? That is the first thing I would want to do!

Car dealers are owned by wealthy owners. They have lobbied hard (i.e. $$$) to block other business models via state regulation capture.

Note that most of these laws exist in so called “pro business” red states. Allowing competition and newer, more efficient, business models to replace older business models is a basic tenant of capitalism.

It is a US company, that likely helps a little. They are expensive. In many countries 55% could not afford them. Easy access to Apple stores to fix issues is a massive advantage.

Anecdotally, my friends and family that have switched have done so because of malware. Apple is far from perfect, but Google has done a terrible job of keeping bad apps out of the Play store. And malicious software has other ways of getting installed. My sister was a diehard Samsung user, but reluctantly bought an iPhone when she started getting porn pop ups and her and none of her friends could figure out how to stop them.

They can certainly add and remove them.

Affinity is available today. The products are great, the pricing is reasonable, and it is not subscription based.
