  • If you’re on Lemmy, you’re already set up to “not understand”. You probably have no trouble installing a new chat app and using it.

    I chat with 20-30 people in my neighborhood, all middle aged adults, and they all have iPhones. If I were to ask, only one would accommodate my request to use a different app, and it’d still be disruptive to his routine. I’m not angry at any of these folks; I blame Apple. Though they have a good product, they are totally behaving like a monopolist.

    It’s not the features and never has been. It comes preinstalled, it just works, and it works perfectly with most people. No one calls it “iMessage”. They call it “texting”.









  • Is this article ai generated? It sucks. Are the toxic products all PFAS products? It sure insinuates as much, but doesn’t actually say that. There are lots and lots of “toxic” chemicals; there are over 10k PFAS compounds alone, and toxicity for those is being claimed at ppt levels, which is often lower than can be detected by test methods. Therefore, it’s no wonder they’ll take it slow, rather than eliminate large swaths of the economy without ready replacements.

    Terrible article.
