I like Apple. They popularize a lot of features that haven’t gone mainstream (e.g. face unlock, smart phones with touch screens). Integration in their ecosystem is great. I have to use Apple stuff for work, and I’m consistently impressed with quality of life stuff like being able to share a mouse pointer across devices, Wi-Fi password sharing, etc.

That pushes Android to be better. The baby steps back towards lock screen widgets are a nice example of that.

Having said that, iPhones just don’t work for me. I don’t really like them. I don’t like the photos I take with them (but I like other people’s photos 🤷‍♂️). I like to be able to switch my launcher, so they’re lacking customization for me.

There’s lots of negative stuff about Apple, but that is covered in the other responses to the question.

Leave. Go for a walk, or a coffee, or go home. Nobody knows you aren’t in a meeting room.

If your co-workers are into it, have a LAN party. I used to work at a place that had a daily management-approved kill session. It was good.

Totally agree. I am not compatible with summer.

Winter! Winter sports are awesome. Snow is beautiful. Long dark nights are cozy.

I have no idea if I’ll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

Let me guess, the downside is infinite teeth.

I started programming as a teen. I didn’t realize I could do that as a job (weird, I know), so I looked into lucrative careers I could do so I could afford to have lots of free time to program. Then I discovered that programming was also a job.

It will vary by actor. For example, the US military doesn’t like Strava because of its social running feature.

You need to think of the threat model for different actors and groups. There’s a lot of talk now about menstrual tracking for women in the US. Most of it won’t be obvious.

This is the level of sympathy I have come to expect from the Internet.

You don’t want to run afoul of big slop

Cyberpunk RED TTRPG community.

Shadowrun TTRPG community.

Polandball.

A community for my home town.

A Canadian politics and current affairs community.

A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.

We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).

I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.

How does the group reach consensus on N?

Don’t

That’s like 1670 kilometres per hour at the equator.

They have to be actual cross posts though, don’t they? Would that catch the same link spammed across multiple instances and communities?
