I love RSS, but having comments and a sorting algorithm makes a world of difference

Love the passive-aggressive tone of this one, lol.

USB-C is for charging and transferring data. Dongles suck, they break and ultimately they're just an uncomfortable workaround.

I will never understand why people are so willing to defend companies that have decided to take away a pretty big feature from their phones with the only clear intention of selling garbage BT headphones

More importantly, BT headphones are inherently not sustainable compared to wired ones

Thanks to the fact that the 4 (and the 5) do not have a headphone jack, no, I have decided against buying it. That's a damn shame

I transitioned e-mail address twice. What has worked for me is doing it slowly. Keep the old address around: from time to time you'll get emails from services you did not even remember being subscribed to. Also, if you don't use a password manager, now it's the perfect time to start. I suggest Bitwaden

Of course it would be more sensible, but that was not the point

Because they’re making society and the world worse entirely for profit and they’re also conditioning ignorant people like you to stan for them.

Yes. But not via Whatsapp, that's all. It's probably the least bad app they own

How is it not better? Are you actually arguing that plaintext and e2e encrypted messages are somewhat equivalent? It IS better, period. Not ideal because it's still owned by Meta, but definitely better

The way Whatsapp stores data is arguably more secure than Telegram, i.e. not in the cloud but only locally. It sucks if you lose access to your phone and you have not set up backups via iCloud/Google Drive, but it's definitely better in terms of privacy and security.

I mean I see your point, but you cold also argue that anything that can weaken a monopoly is a good thing, in the grand scheme of things

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's just plain false. WhatsApp is at least e2e encrypted and its UX is great, compared to the other apps

You either don't know what you're talking about or you're just commenting in bad faith
