Apple is pushing AI even for their Mac lineup. Apple is a US company and had to be forced to allow Sideloading in select regions. Jumping to another US company seems like a lateral move.
Moving to dumb phones or custom ROMs is the best alternative available.
And even if they express disapproval they will vote or not vote in the same manner because the other side is worse or both are bad.
I think working out and eating healthy is a good trend and blood work is happy for it, and don’t need some super crazy work out plan to look better.
But the whole cosmetic surgeries and steroids which aren’t needed to be healthy is definitely overboard for the regular person who aren’t making living off their looks or athletic performance is overboard.
So basically the same outcome as the election. People haven’t changed.
Wasn’t the shocking thing about trump election results was that he gained votes from non whites so assumptions on racial demographics ended up being unreliable?
In 2016 Hillary Clinton won Hispanic voters by a margin of 38 percentage points, according to exit polls. By 2020 Joe Biden’s margin had shrunk to 33 points. This year early exit polling conducted by CNN suggests that Ms Harris’s margin of victory among Hispanic voters is just eight percentage points—a remarkable collapse if right.
Assumptions about how younger people would vote is also what led to the shocking results
Trump picked up a larger proportion of voters under 30 than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008, according to NBC News exit polling, improving with both young men and young women.

Men still make up the majority of military
the percentage of women serving in uniform has increased slightly from 17.5% in 2022 to 17.7% in 2023. https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4006144/dods-2023-demographics-report-indicates-more-women-fewer-separations/
So question would be are active military members more likely to lean liberal or conservative compared to their demographic?
I got apple devices, but it is more a take or leave it type situation where I wouldn’t feel like I’m missing out if I didn’t have them. Its just one of those nice options, but not irreplaceable tech to me.
It also probably helps that it is easy to ignore Apple and there might not be a feeling of missing out for those who don’t care for the Apple ecosystem. As big as Apple is it is kind of niche in the sense that a Windows or Linux user can just ignore its existence and not feel affected.
But, when it comes to Windows there’s lot of mainstream software, games, and even hardware compatibility that is affected by Windows dominance. Stuff like wine and proton being needed and not getting the same video card driver support leads to more resentment Windows actually having offerings people who tend to complain want.
It is a stereotype but Apple diehards seem to go along with whatever Apple pushes, and people who don’t like them don’t use them anyways. Meanwhile Windows and Linux seems to have more people who are nitpicky about what they use, so group that tends to complain is going to be complaining more loudly about the OS they use would be my guess.
You got downvoted but stats do show they did heavily lean towards voting for this
I don’t think there is one that has the clean old OnePlus feel. I still liked them until the custom ROM support died out for follow up devices to keep it going beyond the official OS support, since the hardware was solid.
They peaked with the OnePlus 7 pro. Loved the pop up camera to provide a true full screen experience without pinhole or notches. Beautiful design.
These days companies have started removing them after a year, since denuvo went to subscription route over a one time fee.
Yeah duck is all over bothered with since it came out since you don’t even need to login to use it.
They are putting on a theater of pretending to be disapproving so it makes all the times they suck up to him seem as if it coming from a source of integrity by pointing to the times they disagreed.
American brands are trying to trick consumers into thinking they aren’t buying American brands. Backlash isn’t about a trade war. It could go away and it still wouldn’t change that the US is a fascist country sending people to El Salvador without due process and even arresting their mayor while threatening annexation of other countries due to inability to comprehend the concept of consent.
It was the same with Elon before he went head first into facism. They usually start by selling themselves as liberal with some occasional praise of conservatives. Then later claim they are moderate or the go to favorite of tech bros claiming they are libertarian, since saying they are conservative might receive backlash.
Based on how nerdy lemmy seems to be with all the Linux talk the demographic that is more similar to old reddit.
There was a period early in reddit when it seemed more techy. Later on it became more mainstream with a shift towards people posting in a manner more similar to Facebook and Instagram sharing more personal pics and memes.
Being very impressed by US segregation laws too.
I don’t think people are trying to change minds anymore. I don’t think people even believe it is possible to change minds. I think it’s to make people afraid to make future rentals or purchases or associations unless they are a strong party affiliate.
It had me start looking into stocks of BYD and other competitors wondering where investors might flow to if the cultural sentiment keeps escalating to a full on alt right brand.
Slater became the vice-president for legal and regulatory policy for the Internet Association lobby group. Which was founded by “small business” like Google, Amazon, eBay and Facebook.
And involved in trying to infringe upon privacy rights. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/09/lawmakers-must-not-let-internet-association-weaken-california-consumer-privacy-act So yeah, was weird and suspicious he omitted that when trying to use her to praise trump and sell her as some champion against big corporations.
Then that anonymous medium article that floated around defending Andy completely omitting her involvement with the lobby group for big tech, and just focusing on how he isn’t a racist back then seems like it was written by Andy himself haha.
