There always will be a divide between those who use technology as a means to an end and those whose end is technology.

If you think I’m taking a “side” with that statement you’re the latter.

If you think that’s a dig at anyone it’s probably because you think people care what phone you have, or that I’m trying to sneakily insinuate that you’re not doing anything by installing another flavor of Linux so you can get your dock to line up perfectly the way you want it to.

If you think people care what phone you have it’s probably because you know people who do.

If you think you have to be around those people I’m here to tell you I don’t know anyone who cares about what phone I have.

So you’re challenging me to tell you what I think of you doing what I suggested?

Sure. Like if you enjoy doing that stuff it would be totally worth it I’m sure.

There is a particular kind of person who prefers setup and config to doing anything with a computer, and it’s hard to hide my disdain for that sometimes but that doesn’t make it wrong. It also doesn’t mean I’m doing anything with a computer. We’re biased towards ourselves, I get that.

Like, we just put a dog down so I was thinking about my own mortality and how much time I have in life. It’s not a lot, and the idea of making sure an email address is functioning today sounds like hell.

I’m leaving the original statement up because I don’t think enough people walk back hasty statements online.

It sounds like a win win for you and I like that for you.

I print a few exceptional photos a month to save.

I sell my time for like $30/hr. How much money would self hosting cost me vs a data leak where my information was actually used? I have a feeling it’s more.

It’s a nice hobby and I’m sorry I ruffled feathers with my opinion.

You should live the life you imagine you’re protecting with all this security theater.

It really do be like that sometimes

If you’ve reversed autocorrect’s decision on something, it will remember it on iPhone. For example, I reversed “Lol” back to “lol” and after that it autocorrected all of them to lower case. You can reverse it I think, it doesn’t affect me much.

Ooh, or behind the scenes email drama from staff!

If you purchased them from the federal government they won’t have hard drives.

Slavery is allowed if you’re in prison, so that takes care of the work part.

Yeah I wasn’t counting your alts bud nice try.

I tried buying a used thinkpad and putting Linux on it, but then it stopped charging correctly after 2 weeks. So I went back on adhd meds and got a new job and turned my life around.

Lmao 54k people on Lemmy as a whole and we’ve already got a repost police!

I will do whatever it takes to make my daughter happy and if that’s wrong I don’t want to be right.

If that means being an army dude, paint my face. If that means being a princess at a tea party, paint my nails.

Whatever she decides she wants to be, I want to be there cheering her on. If you take that attitude and try to extend it to everyone you meet you make a better world.

What if instead of doing this we built a really tall pole and shot people up it on a motorized basket and then clamped it at the top so we could save fuel?

So the proper treatment for concussion is rest. If you get one that isn’t super severe that’s what the doctor will tell you to do is sleep it off.

If it’s bad he’ll tell you to sleep it off while a nurse watches you. I’m sorry you had to find out like this.

It’s probably my screen protector, now that I think about it.

I will say with confidence its’ low light performance is dogshit.

The front facing camera on iPhones is not great. Most kids have iPhones. I’m not willing to believe children who grew up with these phones don’t know their limitations.
