I guess if he’s getting paid to do the interviews then it’s technically passive… wait no, then the whole interviewer thing would just count as advertising for his vending machine business

I agree with everything else that you’re saying, but I wouldn’t be so sure about this. Have you ever noticed how it’s much easier to start online flame wars when you actually believe in the batshit stance that you’re arguing as opposed to pretending to believe it for the sake of trolling? I think it’s a similar thing here. I don’t think humans are that good at compartmentalising, so in order to do something performatively so often and so well you have to trick your mind into actually believing it in a sort of corrupt way. I know this makes me sound like a middleschooler, but I think George Orwell’s concept of doublethink is very much real in cases like these.

I carry a jar of soluble coffee in my backpack when I go to uni. They have those instant water boiling taps on every floor in my faculty building, I can make myself a mug just like that. Is it good? No. But certainly better than starbucks.
But whatever, I’m not going to argue with someone who’s trying to convince me that the thing I do almost every day with no issues is actually impossible.

Fastfoods marketing themselves as luxury brand is a relatively recent trend. A decade or so ago starbacks, mcd’s, etc. really were “cheap, fast, tasty”. Fast food used to be a convenience for when you were on road trips and couldn’t make your own food.
All these different fastfood brands built up such a large reputation around themselves that they practically became a part of our collective conscious. At some point they realised that instead of selling food, they could sell their brand. And that’s when it stopped being cheap, stopped being tasty, and generally became a “rich people” thing.

So I went to a starbucks at the shopping mall close to where I live and ordered something and it was literally just a glass of ice cubes with like three sips’ worth of milk and syrup squirted into it. It genuinely felt like the barista forgot one of the ingredients or something. I thought it was a fluke but when I was at that mall at a different time I got a different iced coffee and it was the same stuff: glass full of ice cubes with a squirtling of syrup and milk. What even is the point!?
No that’s not capitalism, that’s corporatism which is totally a different thing trust me bro! /j
I refuse to measure garlic by any unit smaller than a whole head. Recipe says three cloves? Pretty sure you mean one head of garlic there buddy.
renzev@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacherEnglish1·3 months agoYes, because when this happens to “normal people” it is never publicized as much as when it happens to a celebrity. It’s kind of by-definition.
But I am not disagreeing with you. I just don’t know enough about andrew tate and this whole situation to have a good opinion here.
renzev@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacherEnglish2·3 months agoSee, the thing is, these are all allegations. It won’t be proven until his trial in 2027 whether he did any of those things or not (well okay, apart from the misogyny thing, he’s admitting that one loud and proud). Despite the fact, he’s had money and assets ceased and was sent to jail, which goes against some pretty fundamental values that many people are taught growing up (e.g. Innocent until proven guilty). So I can definitely see how many non-misogynists or even feminists would be on Tate’s side even if they disagree with his messaging.
yeah that’s exactly what I’m trying to get at with my lil meme. I used to get into a bunch of flame wars on the side of android because I would hear the apple people complain about fake made-up issues that I never experienced being a long-time android user. But seeing posts like OP’s makes me realize that those issues aren’t actually made up, they’re completely real and I just wasn’t seeing them because I am running a custom ROM. Like, in another thread some guy was concern-trolling about Google Services crashes being a “well-known issue” and everyone was upvoting him. Of course I would have no clue what he’s talking about, I don’t even have Google Services installed! So yeah, what I’m trying to say is that if you’ve never used an AOSP-based ROM and your entire experience of “android” are the slow buggy bloated ROMs that come installed by default on most phones, I’d understand why you’d choose to go with Apple instead.
I’m not even playing dumb lol, I really am just dumb. If you scroll down a bit you can see that I didn’t even think that apple intelligence was a real product before someone corrected me
Wow, this is a very insightful remark! Although I’m a little confused by your second point, would you mind expanding on that?
My pet peeve is m$ changing “My computer” to “This computer”. It’s no longer yours lol.
Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!
Is Apple Intelligence even real? I don’t have any apple product myself but my parents have iphones and sometimes I use their ipad and I’ve never seen it or heard anyone talk about it IRL. Pretty sure it was just a prank/marketing trick

Is this really what the non-FOSS android experience has become nowadays!? AI chatbots in your messages app? This seems absolutely miserable. I think I finally understand why there are so many iOS users out there.
That’s brilliant haha
The reason they don’t want you to unlock your bootloader is because of security…
…security of their revenue stream, that is.
