I agree with this. But also, this time is the closest to "end of the world" stakes we've had in recent memory. We have a literal criminal, rapist, and fraudster who already tried to overthrow the government once leading the polls.

I know it's just a meme, but Krusty would be a silly and ineffective president at worst. You'd have to combine the worst traits of many of the shows most horrible characters to create someone similar to trump, and even then I'm not sure any character in that show attempted a coup and sent a mob to attack the Capitol.

There's no rule saying he can't play female characters anymore, particularly if he is reprising a previous role. Whether or not he wants to is a different story.

Top sku iPad pros with the keyboard case cost more than some MacBooks and people try and use them like MacBooks, which is crazy to me given the severe limitations of iPadOS compared to macOS.

You can order that tablet with Ubuntu, mint, Manjaro, zorin, elementary, etc. There's gotta be some kind of driver support to build on, no?

I agree, but to be fair the title was a little clickbaity and was seen by a whole lot of people who didn't watch the video and just scrolled past it.

Chromebook makes sense. They could also do full on Linux. Star labs has a tablet coming out, so they don't have to reinvent the wheel for software (I assume, I haven't tried touchscreen Linux).

Surely they are aiming for a repairable and modular smartphone eventually. That's going to be super hard to do. My guess is their next form factor will be a tablet.

More storage and AV1 hardware support are the most obvious things they could add. Personally I just want smooth, non-laggy UI navigation. Hopefully performance will increase just by virtue of it being a newer chip.

This is not correct. Android devices can detect apple's air tags and alert users when an unauthorized tag is nearby. Google delayed the launch of their network to wait for Apple to implement the same feature for Android compatible tags, which is finally coming in the next iOS update.

Intel certainly has a history of bad behavior, but I wish them luck with this pivot to chip fabrication.

Google doesn't sell your data. They sure as hell collect it, but they sell targeted ads based on that data. Selling the data itself would undermine their ad platform.

Your position is otherwise fair. Some people (especially on Lemmy) value privacy over everything else. That doesn't mean Apple isn't guilty of a bunch of other anti consumer bullshit though.
