I feel like the most early Reddit feel of Lemmy is the abundance of users who adopt Apple hate as a personality trait.
I don’t hate Apple because in most probability I’ll never use their products.
However I fucking hate Android makers for following whatever dumb trends Apple introduces.
Give back our headphone jacks you motherfuckers!
I like the stock.

Its not just hating on Apple, its hating on anything that isnt Linux.
Never seen any FreeBSD hate around here.
It’s just as exhausting as you’d imagine teenage contrarians would be.
I am a PC/Android user, always have been. I am a hard apple hater, I’ve tried to keep up with the new devices though, and I’ve also repaired them in the past. I hate apple mostly due to just not liking to be locked on my device (lack of customization but that has been getting better AFAIK), the fact that the phone feels boring, the overpricing, the not friendly right to repair, the stupid lightning ports (Thanks EU), the “elitist” feeling…
But god damn are these new SOCs making me reconsider… I was already very pleasantly surprised with the Mac computers recently. I think apple silicon is just waaaay ahead at the moment. If competition doesn’t catch up somehow soon, I think apple’s monopoly will only grow.
Also, AMD over Nvidia. Not saying it’s better, but I’ll always go team red. Just like Apple, I hate nvidia’s business practices.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a good Apple bash for time to time, just saying this feels like Reddit of old. But yeah their fucking silicone is fucking crazy, who would’ve imagined a decade ago being like I prefer Apple for the hardware.
The M1 Mac book is my daily over Linux now. It’s a wonderful machine, it’s only concession is gaming can be a pain/not worth it. I like the “hobby” of it, but I know it’s not for every one.
After having had a capable smartphone since 2010, I find it very hard to get excited about a new phone, regardless of the company. In fact I would have to say I dread having to get a new phone. I was perfectly happy with my 8se and my Pixel 3. Both unfortunately fell to their untimely deaths. Now I have these giant finger stretching hand cramping leviathans that I DESPERATELY wish were produced in a small(er) form factor.
It’s bullsh*t
regardless of the company
This is key.
“Planned obsolescence tends to work best when a producer has at least an oligopoly. Before introducing a planned obsolescence, the producer has to know that the customer is at least somewhat likely to buy a replacement from them in the form of brand loyalty. In these cases of planned obsolescence, there is an information asymmetry between the producer, who knows how long the product was designed to last, and the customer, who does not. When a market becomes more competitive, product lifespans tend to increase.”
If it makes you feel any better, apparently the Pixel 8 “only” has a 6.1 inch screen.
That’s why I use Z Fold now. Small phone width when folded, big ass screen when you’re lounging and have the other hand free to use the phone. I can’t even use the regular slab phone now because I’m used to the narrow cover screen.
People say that the phone is thick when folded but I found out that it made the phone easier to hold due to its thickness. I’m also the kind of guy who uses a phone for the long term, my previous phone was a ROG Phone 2 that I used for four years. I decided to upgrade because most of my work now is done on my phone while I’m out and about and having a larger screen to review some documents has been a lifesaver for me.
Get a flip phone.
Cue my coworkers, who watched to glean hints at databases they can break into. For forensic purposes.
They announce that on their PR events??
No but they would make guesses on where the “juicy databases” might be when new features or improvements would be showcased.
