Apple arm chips still have good days ahead of it. It’s been years since the MacBook m1 was released, how can competition not catch up already ?

We call that bullshit where I come from. Either it’s historical or it’s fiction. Fiction can be done in an historical setting, but is never historical itself.

I read the whole transcript and I came to conclusion that the author is , to put it gently, bad faith.

Of course if you’re going to give negative opinion on the product made by a single man he is going to want to talk with you. The opposite would be strange, and denying its right to answer is disrespectful and childish.

Doesn’t mean you have to apologize or concede anything, but giving the man a quick and sincere talk about it is just basic level of dignity.

I used droid-ify recently, which is well maintained and still got these pop up. Are you sure we’re talking about the same thing ? I mean pop up that says «  would you like to install x app ». Yes no. And you got to give permission to the store first to even show this pop up.

There are differences between play store and other store. For instance, on fdroid you have a pop up asking each and every time if you want to install or update the app after pressing install button. Play store you just click install and let it do its work in the background.

I don’t think fdroid can update app by itself in the background. Play store can.

I mean third party store doesn’t have access to some of the api play store have, things you don’t care but that is important to normies and that would induce reduced profit from epic store.

It's not so much that I'm praising apple but that I'm criticizing android manufacturers. You can make it as much repairable as you want, if you stop updating after 2 year it's as good as dead.

I know we could have bought her a pixel, but they got their own issue. And not so much repairable.

Samsung back in these time, it was 2 year update too and Im not sure even today they keep updating their low end phone for much longer than that. Wouldn't buy a s23 for a grandma that only makes call and some internet search. 😀

Yeah you're right, Forgot about this use case.

Linux on phone is great for privacy but can you say that on security ?? It's open source, not very popular. We've seen how it can go wrong recently.

Id put it in third after grapheneos. But the end result is that it's not suitable anyway.

doesn't most vpn user want to get rid of tracking and spying ? It would makes no sense for them to use Google vpn.

Well Say whatever about apple but my grandma is running an iPhone 5 for years, replaced the battery from a third party repair shop last year and it keep working absolutely perfectly. There was absolutely no issue finding someone to replace it and it costs 40€.

But yeah, if we had bought her a shity android third grade phone, support would be long gone and the thing barely working. Would have bought one or two other phone in the meantime.

Samsung expects first-quarter profit to soar 931%

Is Mozilla going to set qwant as default search engine ? Or at least stop setting Google as default ?

If no, then this is just PR crap no one should care about. Not that many people care about Firefox anyway (2% market share nowadays).

There is no denial a.i. is going to replace or significantly reduce some jobs. But I predict it's going to happen mostly in bullshit job like marketing, advertisement, the kind of journalism that repeat the same news from other reputed newspaper.

A.i. isn't going to replace the migrants that lay bricks in front on me, it's not going to replace their chief.

When commenting on Reddit I always make sure to write garbage i would say in a bar, not something actually useful to anyone.

If there is somewhere a LLM trained on this data, good luck 🫡

Meanwhile on Lemmy, it's only high tier philosophical thought.

Do the same, fuck Reddit. 🤣

That's hilarious.

Castaneda also noted that the company (Google) will now pay “zero” dollars as part of the settlement after earlier facing a $5 billion penalty.

I can that a win (for Google).

i see the downvote but you got to admit companies tend to follow whatever apple decides to do. Remember how we used to have headphone jack before apple removed it ? remember the numerous android phone with a big notch (pixel was the winner here) after iphone switched to faceid ? Remember the focus on privacy from google after apple made it's pop up about not being tracked between apps ? I probably forgot others, but whatever succesfull (or not) apple does, other companies follow. always has been.

M1 arm macbook have been a quite a hit for apple, very successfull. Guess what, it probably pushed competition to make their own, but they couldn't because who the hell can make their own processor and then force almost the entire developper on their operating system to write software for it ? Even if we get arm windows laptop, good luck getting most of your software to run on arm. You'd be lucky to even get big ones like photoshop. everything will be run through translation layer, will sucks performance and battery.

Yeah, I'm myself a Firefox user but it doesn't mean i can't criticize when Mozilla does something wrong. In business you're responsible to who you associate with, that's business 101. i fail to understand why people in here disagree but to be honest I'm not sure it's the business elite hanging around here considering the amount of comment I see promoting communism/ socialism and how bad capitalism is 😭

Europe already did. That's just usa kind of catching up, if it ever success.
