I mean, I don't get the love for Apple either, I just didn't agree with the claim that all iPhone users were the types to discard a perfectly good phone for a new one 2 years later just because the new one was cooler.

The fact that someone can buy a new iPhone after having had an old one crash due to updates is their own prerogative.

I personally have a very low understanding of tech, but to me, it just seems like an industry standard to make phones that won't live forever. Everybody does it. They could have given us phones with batteries that never wear out. They could have designed the tech to make sure it would work on all phones. They could halt tech evolution to make sure that no phone is left behind. But none of them do.

I originally wanted a button phone after my prior smartphone died. Then my government decided to force a new ID system on its citizens and make it exceedingly annoying and difficult to function in society without a smartphone. So I had to cave and get myself a new smartphone and wave goodbye to button phones forever.

I don't know how long this phone will last me, but I hope it will survive ten years at the very least. Even though it isn't an iPhone I avoid updates for as long as the phone allows me to because I don't want to wake up one day and suddenly have a phone that doesn't work.

We are all being scammed to some extent. Not just iPhone users.

So we should just give up and become them, is what you're saying. That works well for two minutes and then you replace the problem with a new one. Russia is a good example of that, lol.

The only one talking about community service is you, I fear. Can't give credit for anything that wasn't said.

That would be awesome, ngl. Maybe someday. I'm pretty sure that if a company started selling itself as a build a phone-company they would become quite successful very quickly. If I had the knowhow, I would straight up try and see if this idea has legs.

The point isn't whether or not it is okay to fight nazis. The commenter only states that the guy who died is still a human even if we don't like him.

That is a fact. If we start dehumanizing people we don't like, we open ourselves up to becoming monsters no matter how justified we feel we are.

I struggle with this myself. I have a deep-seated disgust toward narcissists and emotionally, I do not consider them human beings. Rationally, I know that they are and that if I continue to refuse to accept that they are one of the countless aspects of humanity, I open myself up to my own narcissistic aspects, where I see an entire subsection of humanity as lesser than me, as pests instead of human beings with a severe personality disorder that most likely came from repeated childhood neglect and abuse.

It is okay to feel strong negative emotions toward people we don't like, but we cannot allow ourselves to dehumanizing them because that is how we become monsters ourselves.

Empathy is hard because it isn't always the easiest or most comfortable path. It can feel downright injust at times, but that is all emotions talking. The more we think about it, truly reflect on it, the more we will understand that choosing empathy over emotional outbursts, will serve us and society far better in the long run. But it is fucking difficult.

It's literally the one message every old European used to preach to us younger generations back in the day. I remember how important it was to them to make us understand that the minute we start dehumanizing people we don't like, we are repeating the cycle.

It is why movies like Der Untergang exists. We have to understand that the most despicable people who ever lived were still human beings and much closer to ourselves than we like to think.

I have carried with me, my whole life the knowledge that I am fallible and I am capable of evil no matter how good of a person I think I am. To a lesser extent, every time I have thought I was too clever to fall for x, y and z, that's when I have fallen right into it. "I would never end up in an abusive relationship. I have too much self respect for that" 🤡 "I'm far too strong to become the doormat in this and that friendship" 🤡 "I'll never fall for fake information online. I'm too observant" 🤡

I could never trust myself to believe I would be too smart, kind or principled to not fall into a destructive and abusive pattern of behavior if the circumstances are twisted just right. I think more people would benefit if they reminded themselves of their imperfections and got off their high horses. On Lemmy alone I have encountered far too many holier than thou types who are super duper anti fascist but ironically act exactly like fascists, but to them it doesn't count because they are "on the right side of history".

Am I sad that some nazi KKK guy died? No. But he was human. Most likely a very terrible human, but still human.

If phones were built to last and something you would only buy once every 10ish years, I think we would all be better for it. I also think buying a phone from new would mean something different than it does in today's consumer culture. It would be way cheaper longterm for everybody as well.

The used phone market only exists because of the current buy and throw away culture we live in.

Not really. I know a few iPhone users who have kept their phones for a long time. The most impressive case was a guy who had had the same phone for 11 years and only had to buy a new one because an update fried the old one.

Honestly, the only thing I care about when it comes to what other people do regarding phone purchases, is that that they at the very fucking least use their old phone until it breaks and don't just go out and buy a new phone every two years because they want something new and shiny. People who do that low key disgust me.

I can get an AI to generate some code for me. Now I'm a programmer despite never having done code in my life, nor do I understand the first thing about what goes into coding.

Oh, or how about I get it to generate law stuff for me and I call myself a lawyer?

Generating papers on medical or psychology stuff and now I'm practically a doctor or a psychologist.

The way I see it, AI can be a useful tool that can help optimizing processes, but to use them as a replacement of real work and effort is a mistake at best and incredibly lazy and delusional at worst.

Omg, det er sådan jeg har det med de engelske oversættelser af HC Andersens eventyr xD især Den Lille Havfrues oversættelse er fuldstændig håbløs og på min bucketliste som et projekt jeg vil oversætte så korrekt som muligt. Den engelske version er så dårlig og flere steder finder de bare på ting i stedet for at forholde sig til HC's ord. De har også helt ignoreret hans stemme og gjort oversættelsen så generisk og trettende som muligt. Det er en skændsel. Undrer mig ikke at Jules Verne blev udsat for samme respektløshed og hans tilfælde lyder endnu værre Dx

Ah! Much Ado About Nothing er, så vidt jeg husker også et forvirrende trip. Jeg så Emma Thompson versionen da jeg var meget ung og det eneste jeg kan huske er at der sker en masse misforståelser som ødelægger nogle menneskers liv, lol. Kunne være jeg skulle se den igen for jeg tror ikke en 12årig får alle nuancerne med xD mht digte så kan de virkelig også være tricky, sådan nogle. Især Shakespeare, forestiller jeg mig xD

Hvis du gerne vil mindske din brug af youtube, så findes Creepcast også på Spotify. Eneste ulempe der er at man ikke kan se dem, men altså, det er jo et podcast så det er nok ikke så vigtigt x) Jeg kan bare personligt godt lide at se dem mens de snakker, mens hende der gør rent på mit kontor mest lytter til dem via Spotify. De dage hvor jeg arbejder sent og hun har mit kontor på sin runde, der ender vi altid med at sludre alt for længe om creepcast, spil, film og andre ting, der interesserer os, lol 😅

Sandt nok xD jeg skal også på biblioteket senere i dag og hente en ny omgang film. Jeg holdt en lille pause i den forgangne uge fordi han havde købt nogle nye film han gerne ville se og nu hvor vi er kommet igennem dem er han næsten helt mut fordi vi har været hele hjemme-biblioteket igennem (undtagen Dune) og han har selv sagt at han foretrækker at jeg låner mine underlige kultur-film frem for at se ét sekund mere af Dune lol. Så jeg skal afsted og se hvad jeg kan finde.

Jeg håber så meget at dine venner giver dig Korsbækspillet, lol! XD lyder også som den perfekte gave til dig :'D så må de evt lige få set serien igennem så de har en jordisk chance imod dig xD

Haha, kender det! Oplevede for nogle år siden at mine forældre gav mig en Morten Ingemann kalender hvor man fik en ny tegneserie-joke om dagen. De syntes jeg skulle have den fordi den var så hylende morsom og både min kæreste og jeg var sådan lidt 😬, men jeg rev trofast en ny joke af blokken hver dag i næsten et år for mine forældres skyld indtil jeg blev så træt af den at jeg gav op da der var to måneder tilbage. Min kæreste foragtede den xD der må man virkelig sige at der er kommet et skel mellem generationerne og hvad de finder humoristisk. 😆

Det er faktisk genialt! Du må pænt få meget syre i benene hvis et kapitel virkelig fanger mens du er derude xD jeg kan næsten aldrig gå hvis jeg er faldet i staver på toilettet over et eller andet enten på mobilen eller i tankemylderet.

That story legit changed how I looked at life.
