I don’t have much to say on this, other than that I appreciate how well-written this deep dive is and I appreciate you for writing it. People get so polarized with these viral math problems and it baffles me.

Wikipedia is giving me this:

“Potassium is the chemical element with the symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium)”

Hwhat’s this? An overabundance of bees in the workplace? My briefcase full of bees ought to put a stop to that!

Hi, I have an iPhone and like it because it’s the best device for my needs and Android doesn’t have a critical app I use, and workarounds on Android break things. My case is rare, I admit, but it’s true. I would happily switch to a Pixel once that app’s available on Android.

Assuming that just because I buy a company’s products means I like everything they do is an awfully Rossmanny take though. I like the guy well enough but the blanket statements on things where he doesn’t consider any reasoning other than his worldview absolutely frustrates me.

But the same can be said for some Apple fanboys. The absolute foaming at the mouth when some people get a green text message blaming the customer for buying an Android phone rather than thinking about Apple’s lack of interest in industry standards absolutely baffles me.

Android has many issues with privacy that don’t apply to iOS. While you can degoogle Android, some services don’t work as well and some apps won’t be available at all.

And hey, maybe that’s okay with you! Maybe your phone isn’t as big of an extension of your digital life as it is mine. Maybe it is, but you can get by on exclusively FOSS apps. I think all of that is fantastic, but I am not you, and you are not me, and I think the real sucker is the one who’s sowing division amongst people over how they use their personal devices.

It’s not 2031 yet but I’d absolutely rock a jress
