Not denied, no. But the librarian wasn’t quite sure what to do when I was checking out The Da Vinci Code at about 11 y/o. At the time I didn’t understand why she looked so surprised/concerned when she asked whether it was for my mom and I said no, but I kind of see her point now. Then again, 11 y/o me loved it.

From my experience with people that are very pro Android vs the pro iOS crowd, it’s just that they’re trying to justify their own choice by uplifting the OS they chose and sometimes tend to focus only on the negatives of the other OS. The same can be said for the various desktop OS crowds.

I’ve used both Android and iOS, as well as Windows and MacOS (and intend to try Linux at some point) over the years and I never thought one was generally better than the other. All these OSs have different target users and that’s ok. Just because you’re not the target user for OS A, doesn’t mean that OS B is objectively the best OS for everyone. It’s just the best OS for you. And why people feel the need to bash other people’s choices or even make fun of them for it is beyond me.

I saw them in a store recently and couldn’t resist buying it for that very reason. Is it actually useful or nice to write with? No. Do I regret buying it? Hell no.

That one’s very sweet. I’ve also seen a few heartbreaking ones and I kinda wish I could send the people that wrote those a hug honestly

Yeah, no kidding :’) Guess we have to wait for spez to sprinkle golden wrappers across the platform to find users to pick the new CEO from

You’re not wrong. I work for a company that really tries to make new employees feel like they’re part of a “family”. The longer you work there, the more you become immune to their bullshit though. Mostly because the low-level employees get treated worse than those working at headquarters. Luckily it’s only a parttime job and I’ll be leaving as soon as I’m done with my masters.

That explains, but yeah, still off-putting :')

A little off-topic, but who calls their employees ‘snoos’? Am I missing some context here?

The OS wars have always bugged me a little. On one hand you have iOS users acting all high and mighty and considering anything other than iPhone less, on the other there’s some snobby Android users that seem to think everyone that uses an iPhone is an idiot. Guess we can’t help but engage in us-vs-them thinking sometimes. Excluding people based on the tech they use makes absolutely zero sense to me though.

I’ve used both iOS/MacOS and Android/Windows over the years and I can’t really say that one is inherently better than the other. Each platform excels in a different use case however and has different USPs.

Anywho, just my two cents. Cheers!

Yep, this is also a common feature for phones for seniors.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Anywho, hope you have a nice day :)

Thank you for sharing :)

I guess it’s easy to get sucked in the whole “I’m anonymous so I can do what I want without repercussions” thing and just become downright nasty towards people you don’t agree with (for some people at least). Ironically, at the same time you’ll quickly be downvoted into oblivion if your opinion is a little controversial. I’m sorry to hear you (and the stranger they thought was you for that matter) were on the receiving end of it. It’s something I certainly won’t miss from some subs…

But hey, I’m a pacifist by nature and prefer knowing why people think things rather than just telling them their opinions are wrong. So what do I know :')

I had never even heard about the Boston Bombings till now (or I don’t remember it, not an American), but damn, that whole situation got all kinds of messed up. I can understand wanting the perpetrators being brought to justice, but slandering random people who bear a minor resemblance to a suspect makes no sense to me.

Out of curiosity, how should the admins have reacted the witch-hunts in your opinion? I’ve never really used the old frontpage or r/popular so I’m not very familiar with how their usage would be affected tbh.

thanks friend (:

Wait, what? I somehow managed to miss that apparently. Pretty sad all the same :/

That explains why his karma is somehow going up instead of down >____>

That one rubbed me the wrong way too. On one hand they’re trying to convince everyone that their announcements gave devs plenty of time to adapt, but on the other they’re ignoring the devs that want to cooperate. There’s no way that response backlog is 3 months long.

Yeah, I actually don’t mind the smaller user base. Although it looks like I’ll have to miss out on a few things (r/HistoricalCostuming and r/FashionHistory users don’t seem to be here yet in substantial numbers, for example). So long as we’re all excellent to each other it’s all good though (:

Party on dudes

That’s what I expected as well. My guess is that it’s mostly somewhat tech savvy people that care about the changes. The more casual users will probably keep using reddit. Basically the lifecycle of most social media tbh
