I see your point. Do you not think it is fair to say that there are mid range PCs at the 3 to 400 mark? I bought my pc for 500 around 6 or 7 uears ago and its only just showing its age. However most phones dont last 6 or 7 years without being crippled by more intensive software and OS updates or breaking physically or having their battery become useless.

The pc is a better investment in terms of longevity at the same price point and is upgradable part by part. Unlike 99% of mobile phones.

I think its a relatively fair comparison and to be fair to me i was only musing. I hadnt given it more thought than just improving the comparison off the top of my head.

Funny, cause whilst its very pricey, i spent more than this on my phone. And most flagship phones cost about the lower end of this. But because i get my phone essentially interest free over a 4 year contract i somehow justify the cost without thinking too much about the fact that i spent 1500 quid on a small slab of glass and metal.

Maybe i need to rethink my grasp on the concept of money.

Gemini is so consistantly wrong when i do google searches that i just ignore it now.

At work we say "i pung it"

Because pinged doesn't sound right. And pung is more fun.

Another one we haven't named yet is when an address goes through translation. Is it NATted? "Its been NATted"

Doesn't feel right.

I bet if you got a film company who use mostly practical effects in to use the reflecting pool in their movie they would hire the right people to come in and deal with the algae and paint job and make it shine again. They would use their own money and trump would look even worse. Heck let me at it an di think i could work out what is needed with enough research and send him a bill.

I mean, i would definitely sub contract, but it would be to experts. Not idiots.

If i was from london then saying Nutted would sound like i was saying natted so that brings a whole new layer to this.

Id say she got to know just about eveything she needed to know about this person.

Is it now the norm to make the term WiFi synonymous with the term cellular/mobile data (or 4g/5g)

They are not the same thing.

Is this like when people call tablets ipads? Or call vacuums hoovers/dysons.

Since google puts twitter feeds at the top and that cesspit is full of idiots i decided to check lemmy to see if i was alone in thinking this is a huge over reaction.

Pretty safe to say that people of lemmy are my people.

Personally i see it as a joke, maybe one in bad taste. Maybe one that shouldn't have been said. But a joke none the less. Its certainly interesting to see how the right react when the shoe is on the other foot.

Apple already made a folding phone. It was called the iphone 6.

Ah yes! Three of my favourite reptiles:

Spiders, Centipedes, and Scorpions.

Nah, move your ass forwards. It's no different to you right there in that point in the line.

But at the back of the line its no longer people queuing in the barriers, they have started making up their own queue which has now branched off in two directions and new people arent sure which branch to join. Other people are trying to get to something on the other side of these queues and have to squeeze past people.

I get the logic, and it's quite a good point if you have unlimited space for the queue, but stop being so entitled and move your stinky ass up the queue.

Why does anyone care? I dont mean care about trans people, i mean care about people wanting to transition.

Its so fucking stupid.

It doesn't affect you in any way. It screams the main character syndrome.

Just mind your own fucking business.

Im a cis gendered white male, and in my opinion, i dont care. Please do what you want and come be my friend if you want.

Lets have a pint and laugh at kevin.

SUCK MY DICK, GRU!

I seem to recall seeing a video or reading an article where they mention that the media turned antifa into a sort of separate word to warp its meaning. Instead of saying anti fascist, which has a clear meaning, they shortened it and changed the pronunciation 'an teefa' (something to do with which syllable you emphasise) so they could distort its meani g and demonise the word to make people think it was bad.

So now people dont realise antifa means anti fascist which is surely a good thing to be, and instead, they fear antifa as some kind of terrorist group, which is almost the opposite of what it is.

The funny thing is, as an outsider to this, living in the UK, our media doesn't ever use the term, and when i heard it, my instinct was to look up its meaning. It's interesting to me that i won't know if i would have fallen for it if the media were using it in the same way over here to lead my understanding of its definition

Trying to stop people from doing something is a sure fire way to guarantee they will do that thing.

Sorry, what? Err, yes, of course it is... i mean, its not quite chicken nuggets in the fast food sense, its cut pieces of chicken breast fried in batter and tossed in sauce as opposed to mashed up and reformed chicken anythings battered and tossed in sauce so its a little higer quality.

Forgive me, but it's like saying a snickers is just a mars bar but with nuts in.

Or fries are just potato strips cooked in oil.

But yeah.

Most things are things

But im using sync for free.

Why are people so angry about this?
