Nowhere did I say Moto was flawless. I insinuated that Moto was much better than Samsung if that’s what you’re arguing? I have no clue what you’re taking about as far as the service that automatically installs games every day. And I just searched everything in my settings and don’t see anything about a “Live lock screen” . I don’t remember seeing anyone else discussing it either. Regardless, the content of my comment was based solely on first hand experience.

My experience with iPhone is horrible hardware support, locked down software/hardware integration, forced ads on browser…etc. If I’m spending $800 I should be able to expect better than USB 2.0 speeds on the iPhone 15. Why should I need to be the 15 Pro to get USB 3.0? As far as bloat is concerned, they’re all pretty bad. I just wanted to highlight how bad Samsung is. Apple still has: Podcasts, iTunes, Stocks, Apple Maps, Books, Home, Safari, Wallet, Facetime, etc. I left all of my Apple gripes out because it’s irrelevant to the conversation at hand.

That’s a good thing. It’s not because Apple has massively increased. It’s because more Android manufacturers are competing in the market. I never wanted Samsung to be the dominant brand in the Android market. They’re just as anti-consumer as Apple. The only reason they allow as much software freedom as they do is because it’s forced upon them by the Android OS. If they had it their way, they’d force users to to the Samsung app store and their browser. Both of which are horrible. Just look at their smart watch, home appliances, or TV segments. They’re all locked down. I last owned a Galaxy S20 FE (I think) and the bloat on it is just as bad if not worse than iPhone. And it only allows you to disable the apps rather than uninstalling.

I’ve been using a 2023 Motorola edge+ for at least 2 years and the experience is pretty close to stock Android. It charges at 68W and the battery lasts all day. I love the Moto gestures like the chop-chop flashlight and twist to open the camera. My biggest gripe is hardware. The curved screen makes it hard to find screen protectors and cases on top of being more fragile. But otherwise I have a phone that runs as well as some Samsung flagships for half the price. I think I paid $700. Competition in the Android market can only be a good thing for consumers.

I think you’re thinking of sandburs. Which I’m pretty sure are different, but also fucking nasty plants. They end up in our poor dogs’ paws late summer/early fall. If I could eliminate any plant. That one.

There’s plenty of other headlines about illegal detaining that exclude the citizen label. This is just to highlight the fact that arrests are escalating.

It may not be a “unicorn” per se, but it’s often forgotten since it came out in 2020 and they weren’t able to tour the album. Coldplay’s Everyday Life is an art piece to me.

Im not quite there yet, but literally everyone feels this. You know what you know and you don’t know what you don’t know. Being an adult is figuring out how to distinguish between the two. If you’re able to recognize that something isn’t in your breadth of knowledge and you’re able to consult with someone else who is more educated on the subject matter OR you’re able to self-educate before applying your ignorance, then that makes you an adult in my eyes. Or at least is a large part of the bigger picture.

Why? His wife is dead. What does it matter?

If the school knew and didn’t report it to authorities or parents then the people involved should also be charged. School officials have a responsibility to report suspicion of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and self-harm. That’s what being a mandated reporter is about. I’d bring criminal charges against anyone wanting to keep it in house.

Just picture his fat torso shoved into a big ol pair of stretched out tighty whiteys. Then he says this and all you can focus on is his morning breath.

I love how often I find nuanced comments like this in lemmy comments. Reddit would have told this person to hire a private investigator to kidnap this person and drag them back into the social life they were distancing themselves from

To be fair, I used to love when my older siblings threw me across the room and into a couch or bed. Kid needs to learn that not all fun is tied to a screen. Sometimes it’s being yeeted.

I love how silly this one is lol

Let’s hope its a trilogy and there’s no reboots.

Talks amongst the 50501 and No Kings groups are Black Friday weekend.

and repairing the roads and bridges that are collapsing all over the country

The state that they claim is a shit hole (Illinois) has some of the best infrastructure in the country despite having one of the most challenging climates for it. And it’s only gotten better in the time since Pritzker took office. Crazy what progressive policy can do for the collective.

The optimist in me believes this is a statical anomaly in pendulum theory, so it will much more rapidly swing back the other direction. Hopefully to a statical anomaly in the progressive direction.

The website only made ~$30,000

Fuck, it was burned down already. Twice.

I’ve seen clips of his material all over Instagram. I was just going to say the same. His delivery is so good. I really hope he becomes the next superstar comedian. He deserves the success
