The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

Most Americans are too dumb to realize the allegory in ATLA.

Definitely part of it, but they also compare to other laptops with similarly sized displays etc and it is larger and heavier despite being less powerful than many of them. Obviously that’s because it’s modular and will be more powerful in future as a result too, but still fair to point out.

I still don’t really get the point of Cosmic when it just looks like Gnome anyway

UpNote is the best non-FOSS option

Matrix is more of a Discord alternative than a Whatsapp alternative though unless I’m mistaken?

Signal is a means for message encryption, and if every platform used it and then were mandated to interop, they’d have to figure out how to do the actual transfer, yes. RCS is basically this except nerfed and partially Google-owned which is shit.

Would be goated if everyone just switched to the Signal protocol and interop was mandated, but that’ll never happen unfortunately.

Actually, Suicide Squad equal with Justice League.

Suicide Squad. No explanation needed.

I agree, hence why I said Australia is like 25% still about rehab, were 75% like the US where it’s just punitive. If we actually moved towards proper rehab like some European states then we’d see improvement in outcomes.

Why? Prison is supposed to be rehabilitative. In America it is 100% punitive instead, but Australia retains like 25% of the rehabilitation concept.

Pros: Moderation quality, app ecosystem, no corporations or ads.

Cons: Small community, wayyy too much duplication of ‘subreddits’ on Lemmy across different servers (inherently not an issue on Mastodon).

I would argue given it is still animal tissue - not cellulose etc - it remains not vegetarian because it is not in any way made of plants. It is, however, not made via animals in any way and thus most people who currently consider themselves vegetarians would probably eat it as most vegetarians are so on moral grounds.

You don’t care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google’s new invasive advertising system?

Yeah just get the base CPU.

The Flips also have a worse display, camera system, build quality, battery life, and just everything than either of those alternate Samsung phones.

I didn’t say folding phones are a gimmick, I said they’re fragile and bad value propositions.

I used to pirate everything when I had no money. Now that I have money I buy games - including everything I ever pirated - and I pay for a few other subscription services that are worth or nearly worth their price. I pirate anything else.

Folding phones are flimsy bits of plastic-screened crap that are just as expensive as two separate, better phone and tablet. And many apps barely work anyway.

Glyph interface is a pointless gimmick.

Under-screen cameras produce terrible images.

There are lots of reasons to hate Apple, but none of these are.
