Ok, so you were saying you prefer a privacy focused OS but settle for iOS because it's simpler. Fair point.

As far as data collection goes, Google isn't selling it either. Apple and Google are both collecting your data to assign you to certain demographics. They then sell ad space, and the people that purchase those ads can select the demographic they want it to go to. It's not ideal, but it's certainly better than them selling your actual personal data to third parties.

Right, because Apple doesn't collect your data, even though it says they do right in the terms of service you agreed to without reading.

3x as much is "marginally better." What world do you Apple zealots live in?

[–] Enk1@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Why would you only use a privacy focused ROM and not stock Android, when you use a stock iPhone? Do you think that Apple doesn't collect just as much data on you as Android does? It's literally in the Apple terms of service. They've just conned you into believing their marketing BS.

The DRM and licensing built into HDMI is a massive con either way. Not to mention DP connectors are far more robust than HDMI - I've had quite a few HDMI cables and ports just bend/break with minimal use. Fiddled with just as many DP cables and never had a port or connector get loose or break. I'd probably choose DP even if its standards were lagging behind HDMI's.

Likely, but DP is still superior to even the latest HDMI standards, so I'd choose it over HDMI whenever that's an option.

They're not cheap if you get them first hand but they're not insane considering who we're talking about. Bands like The Eagles, Rolling Stones,etc were commanding $150+ tickets two decades ago. But good luck getting a non-resale ticket, between bots and the companies themselves buying the tickets solely to mark up for resale it's nearly impossible to get a ticket at face value.

Most streaming content is licensed, not owned by the streaming platform. Anyone could start their own streaming service and get licenses for existing content, assuming they had the capital to do so.

When MTV still played music videos.

Put another way, how many times have you woken up thinking you need to stop at a gas station because you only have 3/4 of a tank?

I mean, fairly often. But I imagine for neurotypical people it might be way less.😂

$25 an hour is sadly not too good for any job in the US these days. $50k doesn't go that far anymore.
