Lmao, perfect. Great movie, by the way.

Yeah, but this is such a dumb take by the rich. They have to breathe the same air and drink the same water as everyone else. You don’t get to buy your way out of PFAs.

Switch cards hold a maximum of 32GB, maybe that’s why? Although it seems no excuse for Switch 2, given it’s a whole new generation, why not support larger cards? I mean you can buy a 256GB microSD for $15, and that’s a private individual buying one; at scale, the memory can’t be too expensive..

I guess that makes sense

And Lemmy is disproportionately representative of the 1/3 who are aware.

If you look at the comments on a random public social media post, you’ll find the delusional third or half.

It basically boils down to where they’re getting their information, or rather, whether it’s information or “information”. A large swath of the population is so propagandized by right wing rag “media” that they are functionally incapable of rational thought.

But if that agricultural sector isn’t that productive, does it even make sense at an EU level? Aren’t you better off trying to move to a services and information economy as much as possible, while you let countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy handle agriculture? The solidarity of EU membership would mean you could rely on this kind of arrangement.

Of course, considering he's a paranoid former KGB agent who won't even sit at a normal table with his closest advisors, it would not exactly be trivial to drop him.

True, but realistically for most people the lack of Google Play is a non starter. Unless you’re really technical and committed to FOSS, you’re going to need every day apps in there.

IMO the biggest issue on mobile is not even the stores but the fact that both platforms are so tightly integrated with the cloud and the account signed into the OS. Again, if you’re an ordinary user, you can barely do anything without it being tied to your Google account or whatever. Everything from maps to notes to music, it’s all tied up in that.

You can still very easily use macOS without an Apple ID or iCloud account, actually. You lose out on iMessage, FaceTime and the App Store, basically. But that’s about it. And they don’t nag you about it ever again unless you try to send an iMessage or what have you.

On iOS and Android it’s effectively a requirement though, because App Store / Google Play. Phone is not too useful if you can’t install any apps.

The Golden Plates didn’t say anything about teeth, so it’s fine, right?

Cool, cool. Good thing you didn’t dedicate your life and entire career to enabling this, or anything.
