Literally all of those. Imagine buying apps instead of learning the DE/OS.

You code them by hand in the terminal before installing the DE right?

I don’t know what this has to do with folding phones

I guess as an American I just never “got” why it’s used in so much of the world. I did use it for work for awhile (on desktop mainly) and it was “meh.”

Touché. I may have deleted my Facebook account long ago but I admit I still have Messenger just for one group chat.

If any old friends try to hit me up though, I basically just tell them to message me on Signal.

I just don’t understand why anyone uses WhatsApp. Setting the obvious problem with its owner aside, the UI is abhorrent. Signal might not be 100% native but on iOS it almost feels smoother than Apple-made apps.

I’ve seen them out in the wild; sure sometimes they’re cool for 20 seconds but it’s sooooo gimmicky. In fact I’d wager VR becomes mainstream before foldable phones. 🤣

Never in my life did I think “damn, I wish I could fold my phone.” WTF

In Ruby (with ActiveSupport) I would do something like 4.days.from_now or 30.days.from_now.

If I really needed “one month from now” on some specific day of the month that not every month has I’d do:

def 31st_of_next_month
  next_month = (Time.current.end_of_month + 1.day).beginning_of_month
  day = next_month + 31.days
  return day if day.month == next_month

  # last day of month if no 31st
  next_month.end_of_month.beginning_of_day
end

Disclaimer: I’m laying in bed typing this on mobile. The code probably sucks but I’m writing for illustrative purposes.

I agree here. The convenience it may offer to developers who try it might be nice but the trade off is random craziness. I support not supporting features that are unintuitive. In this case that means not allowing someone to add “one month” to a date.

That’s much easier said than done. Right now I’m dealing with a late payment on a website because first I couldn’t access the website via VPN (blocked by Cloudflare), then even after allowing the IP to bypass the VPN I couldn’t pass the hidden captcha. After completely disabling the VPN + Google blocker my real IP was blacklisted due to forgetting to clear cookies between the two. Now my credit is being impacted.

I use SearXNG. Google’s search results aren’t even good anymore so there’s really no excuse not to switch at this point. For awhile I couldn’t break the habit but recently Google has gotten considerably worse.

Mainly I’m talking about random captchas that break. Everything else I can live with.

Everyone keeps complaining about how terrible twitter has become, but they keep fucking using it.

This is what gets to me too: I notice this pattern a lot with all kinds of products and services. I understand wanting a company to improve a product as a customer but when something gets to this point it’s time to hop off the train and go somewhere else.

It’s astounding to me that people expect the companies of everything they use to have an exact customized version just for them. It’s just never going to happen.

The slide is what gets me. My client supports swiping for voting so I’m constantly downvoting by accident.

Hardcore Mode on IVPN is insane (it blocks Google). Sadly it’ll break a lot of stuff though, but fuck Google.

Hard agree. I love Apple to death but the whole idea that a company must be more and more profitable every quarter/year needs to go. There are simply too many other important factors that can’t be ignored (climate, quality, human rights, etc).

Personally I think it’s simply market saturation in the smartphone industry. Vision Pro is an innovative new product in a new product segment—and yeah of course it won’t be perfect right out the gate—but at least they’re opening doors for their future.

OP wants to circumvent deep packet inspection.

That wouldn’t help with deep packet inspection but only those firewalls too lazy to check what’s actually being sent there. Even then I doubt it would work because WireGuard uses UDP, not TCP.
