what is wrong with people

they make entirely too much money for no appreciable effort and therefore look to solve their problems with money rather than with effort

which part is the problem here

your general lack of understanding

but to elaborate, the issue in question could be solved with trivial effort but they decide to spend money instead because they are overcompensated as a computer toucher

um, you can? on ios the only apps that can't be removed are the dialer, app store, messages, safari, and wallet

you can delete them except the ones you can't

(also you're not actually deleting them anyway, just removing the icon)

Google is generous with cords and dongles. With my 6P I got 2 good rear end usb c cables (c to c with the super charger wall wart) and an a to c. Then with my Fi kit I got a cool very short a to c cable. Bravo to Google! 🎉

smythe, just a yospos meta update: the hot trend in trolling these days is defending apple products, ala cremnob

what exactly is wrong with people listening to music while they walk

it's not a good idea to be distracted when you're outside for a whole variety of reasons, plus it's super rude since i guarantee the type to listen to music while walking also does it in line at a coffee shop or whatever

i appreciate that you post this exact story in every comment section of an article mentioning Apple

only apple maps, really

it’s still crazy to me that apple maps would basically resort to “gently caress it, you’re on your own” when it can’t find a route

i think it means to only consider class when it comes to their social analysis and tend not to include other things like race or gender

a lot of hardline ml-ists completely discount anything beyond class and wind up being pretty racist/misogynist/homophobic/etc. as a result
