Why is plagiarism an accomplishment? I can reproduce the entire Harry Potter book with a scanner and some OCR software.

“I’m blue da da Dee da da da. “

Just typing it out makes me cringe.

E/os is just android.

I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.

It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.

Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?

Doesn’t this thing just run android and Google App Store? What a waste of decent hardware.

Holding security updates hostage is a sicko business strategy. I hope the EU sues them for it.

It’s too difficult to block huge swaths of things you’re not interested in. Like sports, or memes, or music. You block one community and 99 more about the same subject appear in your feed.

Adding some sort of Usenet-style organization or sublemmy tagging might help.

Anything but brutalism.

• The ads aren’t targeted properly for one thing. I see ads for stuff that would never apply to me. Such a waste of money.

• Many of the videos already have a sponsor, so they are double-dipping.

• Also I’m not going to sit through 60 seconds of ads for a five minute video. Get real.

• And don’t lie to me about “Watch this long ad break and we won’t show you more ads during this program.”

I think Prime has the right idea of front loading the ads at the beginning of the program instead of interrupting thinks every few minutes.

I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO. Charge $3 to $5 a month and I’d consider it. Otherwise I’ll just mute the TV, or skip the programming altogether.

Makes no sense. Am I supposed to run out and buy a new piece of equipment just to log into Reddit? 🙄

I will add that I’ve yet to find a decent tasting store brand soda or sparkling water. I have no idea why it’s so difficult for them to get the flavoring right.

There’s plenty of good used stainless flatware out there. Older stuff found at estate sales is frequently better quality and cheaper than buying new at department stores.

Computer circuits based on light instead of electricity.

Apple will happy replace your device battery for around $90 to $200. It’s not like it’s impossible to do.

Just had some of the worst “store brand” honey mustard. How do you mess that up? Tasted like they watered it down by adding extra vinegar. Watery. Gross tasting. Lesson Learned.

Just what we need. More media consolidation. 🙄
