Idk why you got downvote but paint.net is where its at.

But isn't that the beauty of an open source platform? That anyone can do anything with it?

If Sync is closed source and wants to add ads, sure. If beehaw wants to use activitypub and create their own little isolated mini-forum, sure. If hexbear wants to be... Well, hexbear, then sure.

I have thoughts about how certain things are run, and I complain about it here and there, but it's not in every single post I make, nor do I actively seek out posts discussing it so I can jump in and try to steer the convo there. It's subjective, but there is a line somewhere.

But how can real estate companies make money off peasants if the peasants don't suffer needlessly?

the enshittification is complete

It's an existential statement. The account is being.

Aw man Sony has good phones but they're always like... 50% pricier than their counterparts.

Headphone jack and sd card slot? You must have an old phone, wait till you buy a new one lol. It's annoying af how many manufacturers have removed this

Actually yeah how do I get in on this? It gets tedious blocking people

Actually that's one of the frustrations I had with my old iphone. I don't want to install itunes and sync stuff, I just want to connect my phone and transfer that one file from my friend's computer.

"New iphone sucks", says fans while standing in line at the store the night before the launch.

well the US one is wildly more popular in every country(especially with streaming now), so i think it's fair that "The Office" refers to the US one. In fact there was another TV show called The Office before the Ricky Gervais one, but people don't refer to that when they mean "The Office" either.

Also when they said "Michael Scott" and "The office" in the same sentence, that's pretty clear.

idk, after a while I realised I shouldn't be fighting so hard to use my phone. I use my phone one handed a lot on public transit so it got to the point where I decided I should actually get a phone that fits my needs, instead of trying to work around the issues with my phone.

Got the smallest samsung flagship and I've been really happy with it.

The era of growth in tech is over. It's now the era of enshittification and monetization.

See: youtube, netflix, unity, reddit...

I've used both iphones and Androids. Battery performance degrades past 2-2.5 years regardless of brand or OS.

If you replace the battery only, the iphone is still snappier because the android probably has a bunch of junk slowing it down. That's the downside of having more freedom to install and store stuff in your phone. If you reset it, it works just fine. iOS gets around this by preventing users from doing anything. My jailbroken iphone had the same problem after 2 years.

There are some light users who would rather not have to deal with that, and prefer a locked-down OS. That's fine. For me, having to jailbreak just to sideload apps is a dealbreaker, so I use Android.

Having only one dominant OS is bad for consumers anyway.

Things on iphone only seem to work if you don’t know anything better.

Competition is good, so I like that iOS provides an alternative to Android.

I still consider the lack of sideloading without jailbreaks a dealbreaker for iOS though.

i've always just used my PC, so I'm fine :)

and what happened to the funds they took from the government to upgrade internet speeds?

For me, the samsung flagships have been a godsend - small enough to use one-handed, yet powerful.

People hate on Samsung but the UI has improved over the past few years, and whatever bloat they have can mostly be uninstalled now.

As a bonus, I like the Samsung quick toggles much, much more than the pixel ones.

it's annoying in your pocket and when using wireless charging though

I tried a bunch of things - popsockets, elastic band things, i even pasted high-friction grip tape to the sides and back of the phone directly.

After 2 years, I just went out and got a smaller phone lol
