I don’t see the point. Sure, smartphones can be bad, but I have adhd and an addictive personality and I can limit myself if I set up boundaries. Remove apps that waste time, set app time limits, but still have a gps/camera/computer in my pocket if I need it.

I’m interested to see what responses you get though.

I like that they put “could” in there. A lot of articles claim improvements “are” coming to solar or battery, then it never happens.

The only thing I need to know: https://social.heise.de/@vowe/110655159261864491

I’m interested in why you think android has any privacy benefits. If you are talking full-google android, I don’t see how running an OS made by a company whose business model is finding out every bit of info they can about you is privacy positive.

Now if you are talking lineage and/or grapheneOS
Without gapps, sure.

I like Apple because my phone just works. Sure the customization isn’t there, but I’d waste time on it if it was. Also stay on Apple because last time I checked, the Apple Watch was the only wearable that tracked wheelchair activity properly.

iOS has gotten far buggier since Steve’s departure though. The “paint the back of the fence” mindset got ruined by Tim Apple and capitalism.

Yeah, chuck in on the pile of “battery innovations” that get announced but never come out. It’s a large pile.

Hydrogen is the future.

My mental health got better after leaving Reddit. Guess my attention span is improving next when YouTube is gone for me.

I made an account there once and immediately got racist and homophobic results, so I quit using it.

I use DuckDuckGo. Including using their browser on iOS and windows.

Charizard is a Salamander, not a dragon.

It’s summer here, and El Niño is coming, so I’m in a constant state of climate induced despair and panic. It’s my big trigger. I see one bad news story and my brain runs down all the possible avenues about how we are all going to die and how my son’s life is going to be terrible and I’m horrible for having brought him into this world and everything is falling apart and it all sucks now.

But I just started playing destiny 2, so that’s fun.

I’d be willing to bet that the vast majority of Americans don’t budget at all. I don’t. I should, but I’d probably walk into traffic if I had to look at the numbers.

One of their mods literally was a 20 hour work week dog walker who wanted to work less.

They THINK they had to work hard. Most of them are from a time where a one income family of 5 could actually be financially solvent.

Not to mention the scams. I have tinnitus, and google knows that, so I get snake oil tinnitus ads all the time.

Seriously, if someone cures that, they won’t need to be advertising on YouTube.

Well in a world where people will attack a fast food worker for their order being wrong, it’s probably prudent to make sure the employees you are responsible for are protected.

Yep. That was the point I became what he calls a ”whiny “ person and deleted my account.

Lol. Love this place. I make a joke, but get an actual explanation in return. Thanks!

…and they said Vista was better than XP… Win 8 was better than 7… Win 11 is better than Win 10. I’m not sure Microsoft is the best at compare/contrast.

Is that why KBin never works for me, but multiple Lemmy instances do? Lol

As much as i hate the idea of a community relying on one company, I saw someone suggest that Apple buy Apollo and get into social. It’s not a TERRIBLE idea. I feel icky wishing for it though.
