Yeah, I wonder which one I’ll choose.

Nostalgia is gay dude.

It would be really weird if that was cause and effect. I like to imagine how that might go down though.

Kiwi strawberry Snapple.

It was 30 years ago, but it kinda killed the whole concept of calling things “gay” for me.

It’s not just a breach you have to worry about. Credit agencies actively monetize your financial data by selling it to anyone who wants it. You didn’t give it to them, you didn’t authorize it, they collect it and they sell it.

That must be why mobile and discriminating populations choose to move to China.

Don’t do it. They’ll blame you for every perceived problem they have (most of which will not actually be problem).

It’s expensive to refuse to learn new things.

Man, I rode my bike everywhere as a kid. I could get through 5-6 elementary schools. I could get to the rich kids neighborhood and the ghetto. I could get to 2 different movie theaters. I could get to 6 different great record shops.

My HOA is… fine. It’s like $25 a month, and it includes trash/recycling and common area maintenance. I’ve gotten a few warnings about leaving my trash cans out too long, or some other small violations, and I’ve cursed them for that because I’m obstinate and ornery… but I take care of it, and I don’t actually get a fine.

I miss mixed CDs. You meet someone, you understand their music tastes, and you make them a mix of stuff that you think they’d like, but from your favorite known artists. I made plenty, and ones I received got me into some awesome bands.

I burned CDs just titled “Pink Floyd”, “Beatles” or “Radiohead” with their entire discography of mp3s on it. I really got deep into a lot of bands back then.

I remember downloading the big stuff at work, because they had a T1, and network security wasn’t really a thing yet.

Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.

Unless I did a really poor job researching it, you cannot change your default SMS/MMS application on an iPhone.

You can use other messaging apps like Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, or AIM. But if you want to use SMS, you have to use iMessage.

Maybe this is US-specific though. Europe often forces Apple to do things they don’t do here.

The real reason: Apple intentionally doesn’t support the open protocols that send pics and videos to non-Apple devices. These protocols are a decade old and work great. They use a proprietary protocol instead, which they will not share with other phone manufacturers.

What the average iPhone user thinks: Apple is better than Android!

It’s pretty dumb.

I’n using Elementary OS right now. It’s been my daily driver for several years on a low powered laptop as a Chromebook replacement. I run browser, messaging, and occasionally some light photo or audio editing.

No complaints. Works great. Solid. Looks great. If you have a similar use case, I recommend it. All of the people ITT talking about what’s wrong with it have not changed my mind that it’s just what I need.

I hear Americans eat babies too. I’m not even sure they are human, right?

I’m sure people get annoyed or ignore you because you’re just too truthful, not because you’re ridiculous.

I don’t think Windows is seamless either. It’s just what most people are used to.

This. I’ve never used Windows 11. Apparently, they are removing the Control Panel. If I can’t figure out how to fix a problem that comes up, I’m going to have to search for the answer and test out solutions. This is no different from Linux.

I like how on Amazon, the “Rufus” thing always pops up over the stuff I’m trying to read.

“How can I turn off rufus” didn’t come up with anything except how to turn it off in the app, not on the website.

I had to use Ublock Origin to select and block it.
