Have you heard of kitchen sink spaghetti? Well now you have. Enjoy the meatballs!

Wouldn’t someone think of the poor shareholders

You seem confident about “no benefit here”. Are you sure about that or is that the flavor of the boot polish that you are tasting?

Also, “backdoor into iMessage”, wtf?

I use a old laptop with a 3rd gen Intel processor, probably worth less than $30 right now, with straight debian headless and it works like a charm organizing and streaming. I just avoid transcoding wherever possible.

I bet you would have discovered gravity first if only the apple fell on your head instead of pesky Newton

I really do think this will happen in the near future. Right now, every company is targeting the high end segment and slowly making it’s way down.

Same energy as “I’m not interested in politics”.

Even in your example, absolutely no one forced anyone to use it as a “social media” app. If it is a matter of convenience to access the notices, or talk to teacher, then use it like how you would use school/work apps such as canvas/blackboard/slack/teams apps. Stop using it beyond it’s purpose. Which is to say, add “friends” if you have to so that you can access notices or messages from your teacher or whatever. But doom scrolling on clickbait and keeping tabs on Exes shouldn’t be done.

Say what? Netflix doesn’t work with OpenWRT?
