it took 4 days to crosspost? lol

let them enjoy letting ai live in their heads rent free. lol

But Cyber people gotta Cyber I guess.

they paid almost $400 for a tablet; so yes. lol

the tech sector has always been a labor aristocracy and will never organize as a result.

i’ve never been a fan of tacos styles further south of veracruz because of the reduced levels of salt and fat and i’ve always wondered if the inverse – pupusa’s from the north – suffer from the same close-but-no-cigar qualities that i get from tacos.

good thing we’re too far away from the delta quadrant to get their cheese. lol

agreed, however both tiktok and grindr prove that the epstein oligarchy will pull every single lever at its disposal to ensure that chinese google will comply with their surveillance.

i’ve been waiting too, but now that i know that the motorola phone will cost more than a pixel, now i think i just might give up and go with a pixel instead.

it boggles the mind how a “free and fair” press isn’t regarded as propaganda, but “fair and balanced” is.

all this time i’ve been a revolutionary and didn’t realize it. lol

this has made my morning so trouble free today; thank you vibe coding! lol

It’s also fascinating that so much in society is rooted in some kinda slavery/racism/sexism without nearly anybody knowing.

very much so and watching the chinese duplicate our behavior on rednote and weibo despite not having the same problems gives the impression that there’s only so much that even a revolutionary gov’t can do to change people’s hearts and minds.

time to get the sca folks involved. lol

it really says something that the western world is so much less – the united states in particular only had 28% of its women in stem as recently as 2011

they wouldn’t be able to do shit if we didn’t enable them to do it; point the anger at the right place.

it reaches a tragic and ludicrous level when you have to convince a young parent that their child can’t survive on school cafeteria food alone for several months in order to buy another iphone to replace a broken one instead of buying an $100 android.

it’s easy to understand if you grew up in this country under similar circumstances.

when i was young, i remember feeling that my family was superior over every one else in my neighborhood because we traded in a car for an x386 w internet access and nobody else had any computers nor internet access, and the behavior of the others because of it reinforced that feeling for me. i imagine that owning the newest iphone is the modern day equivalent.

i used to lol at them too; but ever since switching to working at a community service non-profit, where they’re the primary clientele; i’ve learned that they’re the overwhelming majority of this country’s working poor.

the social workers have to employ bizarre tactics to get them to re-prioritize keeping food on the table over the social stigma of using android – the fake temu iphones have been a godsend in this regard.

That’s the big question, cause I doubt there’s going to be huge demand for phones that cost a couple of grand in this economy.

if the people i know who who place maintaining iphone ownership above being able to afford rent or food are any indication; apple will be fine no matter what the economy is like.
