It’s not explicit. It’s the added friction that places you a bit outside the “inner circle.” Can’t FaceTime? Oh I’ll call you later. Can’t watch the video I sent to the group? I’ll show you later.
Little things add up. Now you’re missing inside jokes, impromptu plans, etc.
- lapetitejort 3y agoI took a picture of a car driving away from a hit and run. The victim asked for the picture, but because I couldn't airdrop it, he'd rather just write down the license plate. I offered to text or email but he refused. A small amount of friction caused him to miss out on potential evidence.
- George83728 3y ago> I offered to text or email So because you weren't an asshole, you were willing to adapt to his use of android. Doesn't that illustrate my point? People who aren't assholes are willing to be flexible. If you had insisted on airdrop or nothing, that would be different. > but he refused It sounds like he didn't think the picture was important and only wanted the license plate number. This isn't an android/iphone matter at all.
- lapetitejort 3y agoMy inadvertent lack of detail leads to an interesting misunderstanding. I am the android user. So in the iPhone user's case, it was airdrop or nothing. The picture was important enough to ask for but not important enough to spend an extra thirty seconds dictating a email address. The picture has more detail than just the license plate. It also had the car make, model, condition, road, position, and metadata. However, I'm not sure the legality (chain of custody, etc) of someone's hastily shot picture of a car driving when dealing with a hit-and-run. Better to have and not need though.
