As an Android user, I'll offer my side to this:

If I had a dollar for every time a friend or family member asked, "Why don't you just get an iPhone?" I could probably buy the newest iPhone. Added pain that I'm Gen Z in the US where something like 80-90% of people my age use an iPhone.

I swear most of the time people treat having an Android phone as something that needs some sort of defense because they think there's no reason anyone would possibly consider buying anything other than an iPhone.

Western atheism and antitheism often exist as reactions to Christianity on a factual or ethical basis, while remaining within a Christian cultural and moral context. Historically, Christians and atheists have worked together to attack other religions, such as in the case of the stolen generations in Australia or the cult panic in America.

You brought in atheism right here though??

Edit: fix formatting

Your sample size is 1. Sure, you can get a phone that won't have battery swelling after 5-10 years. My old Samsung S9+ doesn't have any swelling yet, and I've had it since around when it came out in 2018. Whether or not swelling happens to any given phone is more or less down to luck. You might want to avoid Samsung phones to be safe though because there was that whole battery swelling issue with almost every phone from the S20 downwards a few years ago. Other than that I don't think there's much of a difference*

*Probably something to look for reports/statistics on though

I agree with this in general, and wanted to add onto it a bit:

I'm Atheist but I honestly couldn't care less what others believe in. If believing in a god or an afterlife helps you get through your life easier, than why not? Why try to tell someone else what religious or cultural belief is right or wrong when we're all just making our best guesses anyway?

Believe in whatever afterlife you want, so long as that belief doesn't make everyone else's lives worse. The moment you start trying to push religion and culture onto people, you're no better than any other form of cultural imperialism.

You'll have to settle for naming your child after one of their public keys, but then your child will only be able to talk to them.

Oh true I didn't realize the semicolons were missing (that's what the compiler errors are for)

Could also be rust (no parens on ifs there either), kind of hard to tell with just an if statement and some function calls

Hi, it's me, the intern refactoring the spaghetti .NET core backend. I'm not in a basement though. AMA

Their watches also used to be based on Tizen before WearOS

I think we're on the same page? If an attacker wanted a keylogger they wouldn't even need to go as far as a screen, there are plenty of other ways (like a 3rd party keyboard app) that would work just as well, if not better, on an iPhone.

Hell, while we're at it, using a phishing email to get you to enter a password in a fake site or using social engineering to reset your passwords is way more effective than reverse engineering and modding a camera/screen.

There's no reason why Apple should get to keep exclusive rights on repairs just to profit more on parts. 3rd party screens, cameras, face id modules, etc. aren't going to suddenly make your phone less secure.

TS and JS are completely single threaded unless you have multiple instances of node running at the same time.

The problem with chat apps is that as much as I would like to switch to other ones, I don't really have a choice. The people I know use text, so even whatsapp is a stretch, let alone signal, xmpp, or matrix. When it isn't text it's normally Discord for my friend group, and I'm not going to attempt to explain Matrix to a bunch of non-technical people who just want to play games.
