Siri has always been a shitshow for sure. I basically use it for timers and even that it fucks up a non-negligible number of times. For the few experiences I've had with it, at least Google assistant is a lot more reliable. I also noti

Yep. AliExpress things, it is rarely as much of a good deal as it first appears. I have been burned many times. For things that you don't care about or don't need to rely on it's fine but there is too much fuckery going on to

I think that if you truly "have" Asperger people will make you feel it quite hard. You are very boring and odd to them. If they need you, they'll play along but for the most part you'll get singled out and isolated quick

That's my experience as well. I think vegetarianism is too much of an ideal and ideals can be very dangerous. Also, we can't be sure yet since nutrition "science" is almost indistinguishable from quackery but I have the

I blame Apple, who hindered the adoption of alternative NFC payment apps by disallowing access to the hardware for developers. Banks wanted to make their own payment solution but since they definitely couldn't on iOS it was pointless t

Mobile apps are indeed terrible most of the time. If you want to do anything else than consume content with them, you are very likely to waste time, since any random laptop would do much better. But that's pretty much expected, those a

I think that's because people don't cook as much as they used to. And when they do it's rarely proper cooking and more assembly of prepared stuff, often just reheating. In France too, most kitchen are optimized for looks with

China has 32 reactors under construction. They have approved construction of 10 new ones. The share of nuclear power in China has increased every single year in the past 10 years. Since you are going to lie and deny basic facts, I am not go

I agree that a lot of behavioral genetics is ideologically driven for sure. That alone doesn't make the research wrong. By that measure, much of the sociology field is ideologically driven bullshit but you seem to be ok with it. Yet it

Not the person who asked either but I appreciate the effort. My sentiment is very similar. To the science part I will add that, at least, it has some explanatory power that is useful. It's finding checks out and makes many areas of our

Why would the church leaders say anything? More power to them, they get to profit without taking any risk and without having to say anything that could be condemnable. It's a win-win for them. If you spend enough time around them, you

Exactly. Things started to get much better for the common man when Christianity was repelled by enough people. It happened in France and is precisely why the "Enlightenment" was the most successful there. Christianity is just the

The ideology of vegetarianism is extremely destructive. Particularly for humans. It is no coincidence that Hitler was a vegetarian. The roots are extremely similar: a deep hatred for humans, to the point that animals are declared not only e

I agree. My own experience with it, being forced to go to "bible study" and many Christian events/groups in my youth; is that it is an ideology pushed by very despicable people who will constantly behave in extremely abusive

Indeed. It's all fashion nowadays. It's a form of aestheticism which I believe is closely linked to religiousness. There is a lot to develop but you can already observe than a lot of people have an approach to technology that isn

Image and projection of that image is very important for most humans. You just need to look at how some people dress in order to "look good" even though it often requires them to make some ridiculous compromises on confort.

The moment the "mobile first" trend appeared, I knew it was wrong and we were certainly fucked for many things. Plenty of websites are just bad because of this nonsense. And since now most people don't even use a computer for

To be honest, whether they had a "study" proving it or not I think those things would have happened anyway. It's just a question of power in the end. And even if you could question the legitimacy of "studies" the pe

I agree wholeheartedly with your conclusion. Science is relevant for those who care about finding the truth, just because they want to know for sure. But for most people science doesn't really make much difference in how they choose an

I don't know how people like him can come up with so much ideological bullshit that is very obviously proved wrong just by observing other species or consulting history. If any of it was wrong not only, we would just not breed and sele

All the "hypothesis" or supposed "results" are so bonkers than it's an insult to intelligence itself that such things can be "proved" with psych "experiment". Not that it matters, most of the psy

I do think web apps have become much better indeed. I believe there is a few reasons: - the reliance on clouds for many people, so it becomes more convenient to load your data in a browser window than fetch it locally - the mixing of UI ele

I'm with you. They are very resistant to facts because of the blind spots their ideology put them in. On top of that they can only think in terms of profit, because greed is the normalized behavior imposed by the US exploitative minds

by seec 1y ago
You views on economy and value are very simplistic. It's all based on the false notion that everything we do has to turn a profit. I mean it's the dominant exploitative ideology from the US so I'm not surprised, but this is c

I agree very much. People arguing about photo quality on phones (and particularly iPhones who always have smaller sensors to begin with) is just proper nonsense. No matter what garbage AI processing they come up for the picture, they still

Yes and that's the big issue with Apple business model. Ultimately it only ends bad for the consumer, Apple has unbounded control/power. In the hardware side they can set price how they see fit because you are literally trapped. T

Yeah pretty much. The dock is truly useless in a way the taskbar cannot dare to be. I think the windows model with menus integrated into the software windows and the taskbar for general multitasking management is just better. It was also mu

I think his point is that you don't need the Play Store at all. There are plenty of alternative sources where you can just download APK without ever having to login. Good luck doing that with iOS. I'm an iPhone user since the very

You can, as some explained but the problem is mostly the UI. Apple has always been a bit crazy about removing anything that could appear complex to its user, because it thinks they are fools and idiotic. So, you have to use a stupid shortcu

Apple is duplicitous and always has been. The App Store is just one of the most egregious examples but this is behavior that is embedded in everything they do. We say companies are "legal person" and I actually think Apple embeds
