@y0kai @Dagwood222 Seconded on that one, it’s definitely more used with a negative/sarcastic connotation

@BackOnMyBS It’s been a lot of trial and error mostly, but that’s my general framework, it varies by person, someone who understands autism more is usually a little easier to work with, for example

@BackOnMyBS It’s not entirely straightforward, but I find that stating “I’m confused because you said ‘x’ which I interpreted as ‘y’ and this thing you’re saying now I interpret as being ‘z’ doesn’t seem consistent, what am I not understanding” (doesn’t have to be those exact words)

Or if it’s something I said I apologize for the confusion, state my intentions behind what I said, and try to say it in a different way based off how they interpreted the last thing I said

@BackOnMyBS I finally figured out how to properly communicate when I’m confused about someone’s behavior or their perception of my behavior, I’ve been able to get more context in conversation as well as avoid certain arguments due to miscommunication/misinterpretation

@thestereobus @Cock_Inspecting_Asexual AirPods Pro 2 really work for me personally

If you wanted to stick with the AirPods route the Maxes will do a better job of noise isolation due to size, but they’re bulky and super expensive

Though there are rumors going around that Apple will be updating the AirPods Max today at their release event so definitely keep a lookout for those if you’re interested

@TwilightKiddy I can see how you can get there, but the MITM would need to know the hashing algo, you can’t *really* just un-hash something, at least not reliably

But your original statement was that the hashing was the privacy violation, and that’s the part I took issue with, hashing is a generally accepted security measure, it is not inherently a privacy violation

@TwilightKiddy @prousername bro really said hashing is a privacy violation??

@Navigator @vzq That should probably be the first question then

@Shardikprime @freamon damn and my masto instance only has a 500 char limit, but you go and make use of every character you’ve got

@DirigibleProtein @Nunar kids are assholes, some adults act like children, it’s inevitable

It’s not because the bubbles are green, it’s not because SMS is bad, it’s because people suck

@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble @AProfessional windows

@simplejack @AProfessional no you have to stick to the “this one company doesn’t sell as much as all of the other companies combined” view of it

because

@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”

@ramune @chiisana I don’t think a little sphere on my phone is signaling that Apple is getting into defense contracting

@FarraigePlaisteach nuance is not inversely proportional to market cap

@FarraigePlaisteach 99 times out of 100 the reason phones are getting slow is not updates, its a failing battery

Hold corporations accountable, but also don’t just shit on things to shit on them, device support isn’t that simple

@FarraigePlaisteach @return2ozma 5 years is way longer than most people keep their phones, and it’s also “at least” Apple has been known to push updates to older devices way past that

An update to iOS 15 came out not too long ago iirc

Plus there are so many variables that go into whether a device will be able to actually run a particular version of software so giving a hard commitment at all is going to be conservative

@return2ozma committing to a number of years of software updates is…odd, not necessarily in the sense that nobody else is doing it, but in the sense that there are so many variables that go into whether or not a device will be supported on an update it’s actually kind of hard to set that kind of deadline and truthfully stick to it

The same with the claims from Google and Samsung: I’ll believe it when I see it (after all, remember PixelPass?)

@misk @yesman also you get three options: pay for news, get predatory ads and unreadable websites, or state funded media

Scummy fourth option is Adblock

@DavidGA @AusatKeyboardPremi hush, you, this is Lemmy, where we get mad at anything and everything and ignore any appeal to reason because we just want to spend our time yelling at companies instead of dealing with real problems
