It’s not, iOS has something like almost 70% of the mobile apps income despite having 1/3 or users compared to Android.

Also Android has this annoying problem where there pirate versions of an app will show up when it has in-app purchases or scammers will rip-off your app, rebrand it and place an overwhelming amount of ads to make a quick buck before the app is flagged and taken down. That’s not accounting for the stories of accounts simply being taken down without warning.

Whatever form of entertainment you want to see. TikTok algorithm quickly adjust the algorithm to show you what you like or don’t skip instantly, and it’s very good at it.

The problem is it’s all superficial content that will vanish from your mind 3s later, so 2h scrolling on TikTok or Reels feel like 2 blank hours from your day. Besides, since the algorithm decides what you’ll see, it’s like your brain shuts down similarly to what happens when you’re vegetating in front of TV watching whatever crap they’re throwing at you.

If more people joined Lemmy you’d see the amount of spam this place would get. Now it’s only a bunch of nerds who will quickly report any spammy activity. It’s a small “friendly” community for now.

Right? People simply expect someone else to pay the bills.

I think we only liked them as enthusiasts, but for the general public (say a student) they were very bad because being cheap meant they had crappy hardware just like modern Chromebooks. In fact, I’ve been interested in having a Chromebook lately that could run Android apps, but quickly realized a good one is as expensive as a good laptop in Brazil.

Yeah… It’s a tool of capitalism. Nothing you said is a positive reason for the increased ownership of a device that delivers sorrow and does little to enrich a person’s life.

It is simply a tool. A large percentage of people have benefits from owning a pocket computer with access to the internet, and this is immediately obvious to everyone.

The companies maintaining the operating systems used in smartphones care more about the mental health of people than social media companies, reason why both Google and Apple added functionality to limit time spent on certain apps, which for me is a huge thing.

All societies changed because of computers and smartphones. Lots of people forget that especially for poor people smartphones brought so much benefits that were not accessible before, such as online banking (not needing to go to a bank branch), being in touch with family even when moving away for work, much more access to information (despite the low barrier of disinformation nowadays), online courses, healthcare tips etc.

Also the whole region is in the path of being heavily affected by heat.

Good thing it has some good amou of context. But I feel like this kind of incident can only be better analyzed with images and simulations of what happened.

Well,that’s the thing with “news” right? Just scattered information without context for clicks. If people start connecting the dots and things make sense, most of the news become pretty uninteresting and would not evoke anger, prompting you to click and share.

On one hand, it is quite cheap but on the other hand their catalog is very bad. I wonder how long will these streaming services survive before they go all the way through the enshittification and kill themselves.

If things becomes cheaper because of AI, then it benefits everyone.

I’m actually surprised this wasn’t the case before.

And when it’s not blatant misinformation, it is almost that, as information presented on short content video is stripped out of any nuances and complications that are often present in reality.

I suppose there isn’t yet videos with camera comparisons, but this one has some good information about the 15 Pro.

How can you possibly know that without any extensive research?

Ever since I saw camera reviews online I crossed the 12 out from my options. The 11 (and 13) pictures were considered better and more color accurate in most blind test reviews.

They can’t. We’ve already become a society that rewards narcissism.
