Met a nice lady at the grocery store
I don’t have any reason to not trust OP, but the likelihood of this conversation happening at ALL seems incredibly unlikely. Never mind that it is described as successful.
If true, this is amazing.

I’d love to know who actually has this honor - I would guess Trump myself, but Elmu is a good guess too

[NSFW] How to block this pop up? I dont want to login to Instagram.

I doubt it - This covers your screen if you try to view someone else’s instagram post when not logged into an account. I expect OP just wants to see the post without giving meta their data.

Where did the Beach Boys sing about in the song Kokomo?
The choice of light color for land … oof
It was like a magic eye poster for me, I knew something was there, but had to stare it into existence
To be fair, It’s also 4 am, and I just woke up

They last (rocking a solid 4 year old phone)
They are rugged
The 3rd party apps are better
The interoperability with other Apple products is great
They are fast enough
Great accessory market
I’m familiar with the os
The os works well enough for my needs
Privacy - I am not the product

Every Phone Should Be Able to Run Personal Website
I suppose I could be convinced, but my gut reaction is this is a bad idea. Most people aren’t security oriented, and would put themselves at risk with poorly updated websites that are an attack vector for bad actors… There’s a lot more at stake in regards to what personal data lives on your phone… the richest concentration of your PII.
Also, my battery life is already precious. And what if you’re out of cell range or the network is overloaded? Your site just stops working?

App Store Update Released 🥳 - Please Update Your Account if on Lemmy.world - Working on better fix now - Push notifications online, fixing some issues there too
I’m on lemmy world and I’ve had to re-save my credentials 3 times today. I’m ok with that, but curious if I should expect this to keep happening, or if I should report this somewhere.

Exactly.
Owning Apple products feels less wasteful, somehow. I don’t replace them often.

Worst States To Live & Work In. All 10 Are Republican States
Reply in thread
Honest question - do you think there are more conservatives than liberals in the US?
How do you think republican candidates would fare without gerrymandering and the current state of the electoral college?

TIL fairy dust was added to Peter Pan so that children wouldn't hurt themselves trying to fly when they got home from seeing the play.
I’m surprised that was enough - don’t underestimate a kids ability to make their own pixie dust out of whatever they have around. Now there’s plant soil and sugar on the floor too.

I think so; except leaning more heavily on promiscuity?

they haven’t aged well
This sort of humor in general hasn’t aged well. I think this sort of thing is still funny when it’s a surprise, ie used sparingly.

66% of Americans say they want extended European-style vacation policies at work
Reply in thread
I don’t know if this holds true outside of my awareness, but I am only hearing folks refer to it as PTO (paid time off) these days. The place I work goes as far as to blend all types of days into one bucket, to be used for sick time or whatever the person needs.

Pixel 4a (not 5G) owners, what do you plan to do with your phone now that it reached its final Android update?
Install a rom that continues to receive updates
Disclaimer: I’m a 15 year iPhone owner, so I don’t have practical experience with this, but this is the angle I’d be researching, were in your situation. Or considering an iPhone, lol, Apple is still updating 10 year old phones. Of course, I don’t expect this crowd to take that last comment seriously ;)
