Guess we were both right

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough (www.xda-developers.com)

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

And the apple haters will keep making this exact same comment on every post using their 3rd laptop in ten years while I’m still using my 2014 MacBook daily with no issues.

Be more original.

Mongostein ,

👍

Weren’t you just complaining about software bloat?

Mongostein , (edited )

Still gets security updates. All the software I need to run on it runs on it.

My email, desktop, and calendar all still sync with my newer desktop. I can still play StarCraft. I can join zoom meetings while running Roll 20. I can even run Premiere and do video editing… to a point.

I guess if you need the latest and greatest then you might have a point, but I don’t.

This whole thread is bitching about software bloat and Apple does that to stop the software bloat on older machines, but noooo that’s planned obsolescence. 🙄

Mongostein ,

That’s pretty sick actually

Who has fish from France? it’s my uncle Matt

Producing hydrogen from natural gas still releases carbon in to the air.

Mongostein , (edited )

We could just give up on the idea that natural gas is “clean.”

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

Mongostein ,

What kind of fancy bells and whistles does RCS have?

Mongostein ,

There is a specific order though.

First two exits use the outside lane, second exit or anything further uses the inside lane. Always yield to the inside lane.

My phone can recognize text on images. How hard could it be to send that data to an AI?

Mongostein ,

I wouldn’t do it on my phone. 🙄

What I’m saying is that it would probably be fairly easy to incorporate an already existing technology in to an AI.

Mongostein , (edited )

Should I mention that I’ve been able to do this on an iPhone for a long time already?

Mongostein ,

No

I don’t actually care. I just commented to just the balls of all the people always saying the same thing on iPhone threads.

Downvote away folks!

Mongostein ,

So much porn

Mongostein ,

Stay away from my bridge!

Mongostein ,

You’d need a dog team of cyclists. Could be a fun time.

Telling dudes to sack up is toxic masculinity. I thought we were against that.

Mongostein ,

Thanks for mansplaining

Mongostein ,

What you’re telling men is that they shouldn’t talk about how the constant referral to creepy men/douchebags as simply “men” does have a negative effect on the mental health of normal men and the way women perceive them.

Mongostein ,

They aren’t the one I was replying to and I don’t need a concept explained to me that I already understand.

Settle down.

Mongostein ,

Ok there. Have a nice day.

Mongostein ,

It was a two-prong campaign, and he did legalize weed. The election thing still pisses me off though.

Mongostein ,

Are you gay?

Mongostein ,

Well that explains it! No more questions.

Mongostein ,

Like in the same way everyone likes those little stress balls?

Mongostein ,

Ah yes those are quite nice too. I also like the ones that go between your knees so your balls don’t sweat like a geyser.

Mongostein ,

Man, I wish I was a deluded narcissist. Life sounds pretty good for them.

Mongostein ,

Right right. OK let me amend: I wish I was a deluded narcissist born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Mongostein ,

No doubt. Whoever’s making these memes obviously wasn’t around when Incognito/Private browsing was introduced. It was never advertised as hiding anything from your ISP.

Mongostein ,

Rich White on first

Mongostein ,

I agree. I made a career change (am still making a career change?) and it’s been hard. I’m trying to work less while still making ok money.

Fortunately(?) my old career made it impossible to keep a relationship and I didn’t have any kids, so I was able to go back to school and take my time doing this.

I’ve made a lot of sacrifices and I now make $60,000 (CAD) less per year, but I’m way happier.

I wish everyone could have the time and ability to pursue what they really want to do, but life gets in the way more often than not and this fucked up system doesn’t make it any easier.

Mongostein ,

I went from trucking to video production. I’m a freelancer now, which is weird to me. I’m still starting out, which is tough at 40 but hey… I’m doin’ it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mongostein ,

Floating goals, really 🤷🏻‍♂️

Since puberty people have told I have a voice for radio, so the original idea was “I bet I could get on the radio to tell fart jokes and try to push my taste in music on the world” but the radio class was full. So I accepted the spot in TV and liked the technical side of things, so I stuck with it.

I was driving a school bus for 3 years to keep myself available for opportunities that came up. I’m now working an entry-level position for a big broadcaster, making more per-hour than I ever did trucking. I have some other freelance work as well, so I quit the school bus last month. So, the change is complete? I dunno, doesn’t feel like I’m there yet, but I’m feeling good about it.

Mongostein ,

I’m guessing they live in a country that doesn’t hate it’s citizens

Mongostein ,

COVID was a special situation

Mongostein ,

Good for him!

Mongostein ,

This would make me stare more. Maybe even say something, like, “are you ok?”

Mongostein ,

All my best bros have vaginas

Mongostein ,

Yup. That’s pretty much the state of it.

Mongostein ,

All these funny swearing moon knight panels are edited

Mongostein ,

You could create another account on someone else’s instance to do it you really wanted to

Mongostein ,

To… umm.. read Biden’s posts?

I don’t want to either, I’m just saying you could.

lol at the downvotes. I guess suggesting two accounts to access different Lemmy instances - something many people already do - is offensive to some. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mongostein ,

Who would want a google vpn?
