I work in IT and I harshly judge anyone else in IT who willingly chooses an iPhone.

When I started with my current company they gave me my choice of iPhone as a company phone (basically last year's model at no cost, or I could pay a bit and get the latest model).... when I asked if Android was an option I was told "oh, no... Android is open source, so it isn't secure". If I didn't need the paycheck I would have quit right then. I just stared at my boss and didn't know what to say. I mean, I knew what I wanted to say, but I also didn't want to tell my new boss that he's a dumbass.

So now I carry 2 phones and last year I broke my Android phone and had to use the iPhone as my daily driver for a couple of months. I figured I'd come to appreciate the iPhone but no, there was almost no redeeming qualities.

Yes, but when there are recalls that need to be handled by the dealership they will get your data.

Honestly, it isn't a huge deal to me other than the fact that there's no way around it. You pay 10s of thousands of dollars for something, yet you still don't fully own it.

Well, shit.

Any way around that?

Do you have to pay for the shots or do you get them for free?

In the US that's a tricky question because for the most part our insurance will cover it at 100%, so it feels like they are free shots because you can walk into a pharmacy, get a shot, and walk out without having to pay. However, we pay a lot out of each paycheck for that insurance (those of us lucky enough to have a job that offers decent insurance).

I prefer to blame the voters

The lesson is to just not cite when you use AI.

They aren't climate change deniers, they are pro-climate change. Putin has said that a warmer world would be great for Russia since it would open up Siberia. The whole reason trump wants Canada and Greenland is because he knows that new shipping lanes and oil deposits will open up.

Doesn't look like it... It's 'AI bad'.

But I don't see anyone complaining about... Ah, point taken.

Thanks... I hadn't actually read it until just now.

I'm an idiot.

Did he forget about Juneteenth?

Tell me more about these cookies!

My mother-in-law makes a great Cincinnati chili. She always makes a huge amount and it freezes well too.

Found the bot! No real human has ever said this.

The only way he could be leaning that far forward is if his center of gravity is much lower and further back than his massive gut. The only way I can think that he's could achieve this is with a MASSIVE titanium butt plug shoved up his ass. I'm talking like 80+ pounds.

The experience for unregistered users on Reddit is almost as bad as twitter, I don't think Reddit cares about that.
