Aradina [She/They]

Weird how they’re doing the thing they accuse others of doing. Almost like it’s a confession.

That’s a lemmy or youtube issue. It’s in French for me. The unfurl data includes localizations and the wrong one is being displayed.

I’ve only had ads in the themes app, which samsung also has.

I used to be a Samsung galaxy note diehard, but I stopped at the 10+. The quality just gets worse every time.

Got a Xiaomi Redmi Note and it’s basically everything I used to love about Samsung phones.

I’m not saying its solely the name, I’m saying its the earliest stumbling point for getting people to use it

Its such a shitty backronym. All because someone had watched pulp fiction and decided it was funny.

Gimp is never going to spread as much as it needs to because of this name. Imagine telling your mother that she should go download “gimp” without feeling embarrassed.

This isn’t always true. The content has to be the same, but the delivery mechanism can be different in generics as long as testing shows similar results

Generic concerta for example, often sucks

“Networking” increasingly just means nepotism.

“works fine on my machine lol” is unhelpful and useless.

It’s very well known that Google makes heavy use of a/b testing. They did it with the adblock block and they’re doing it with this

I used Plex for years on my phone without paying. The Plex pass stuff is hardware transcoding, credits/intro skipping, and downloading through the plex app.

The fact that hyperbolic is pronounced like that makes it so much fucking worse

Only if you continue paying. You lose access when you stop. So, they’re not free, you pay monthly for them.

It’s more accurate to call it a tax on desperation I think.

I distinctively remember it. Person is blue, stars are gold. Some versions of the logo had a gold band over the person.

I’m fairly sure I’ve seen it recently, likely at a department store.

Not phones, but TVs. My first flatscreen tv(not a smart tv yet) had a picture in picture mode, so I could play games while my family watched TV. That was nice, but it seems to have just vanished as a feature in modern TVs.

I feel like that’d be extremely boring, tbh. Constant uptime.

Yep. I was born 1998. To Millennials, I’m a tiny baby Gen Z, to Gen Zs, I may as well be a boomer. It’s odd.

Growing up poor confuses things even more, because I have more in common with people born late 80s/early 90s than with people born only a few years after me. My first game console was a SNES and we had a VCR until we got a PS2, and kept using it well after.

The late 90s Gen Z/Millennial DMZ is a painful place to exist. Constant and mandatory tech support.

The leftists are why there are so few nazis.
