Lemmy begs to differ

Personally I apply that logic to everything except a house (so I hopefully can afford a house one day)

Sorry if it came across rude, didn’t mean it like that

If you don’t have those 1700£ to buy it outright maybe you shouldn’t be using a 1700£ phone and focus on saving up

I exclusively use my tablet for writing (and at uni I almost exclusively write by hand). But for that one thing it’s awesome.

Well it’s literally terrorism that is being censored. I’m not defending what the IDF is doing, but the Hamas is nontheless a terrorist organisation.

I can get a large three topping pizza for $8 USD compared to $10 at Pizza Hut or $11 at Papa John’s.

Do you only have chains? No normal pizzeria?

Damn, I’ve heard that healthcare sucks in the USA but I didn’t expect it to be that bad. This is just heartbreaking.

If anything, this assassination made people like me from countries with functioning healthcare systems more aware of how it could’ve been in the bad timeline.

He could’ve fled long ago if he wanted instead of facing the risk and staying. I respect him for that.

Funnily I also haven’t heard much good about Scandinavian cuisine

Would’ve expected more from Germany though. On the other hand, they do eat Schnitzel mit Tunke…

Absolutely not. Granted, my country is right next to Italy, but I’ve only ever heard about spaghetti with ketchup on the internet, from people from other countries.

I know, but they belong to VW and at least back then used Audi engines (which also belongs to VW)

Older German cars also are great. My Skoda from ~2000 is still going strong (never had any issues) and I also see a lot of other older VW/Skoda around (also Audi, Mercedes and BMW but those are more expensive). Don’t know what it’s like today but at that time at least Skodas got the exact same engines as Audis, just not as beautiful bodies.

Can’t comment on modern German cars, they haven’t passed the test of time yet.

Consider a motorcycle instead of a backup car ;)

That social pressure sure does a lot in the USA. In Austria for example iOS sits at 17.8% (July 2024) despite being a rich country.

Since none of Apple’s native services are being used the only upside of Apple products is their out-of-the-box neatless communication (MacBook-iPhone) and not being able to do much (this is an upside for old people who want to have as little options as possible, like they did on their old flip telephones). Accordingly, iPhones are very popular among people who only ever use their phones for photos and communication, which is a small percentage (as the statistic shows).

Most people simply care for what their phone can do (screen, camera, battery life, speed, customisability, software availability, bang-for-buck), for the camera it’s a tie (iPhones still win for videos, Android flagships win for photos) and in all other points Android wins, leading to its 70% market share.

They are expected to have between 25 and 30 percent*

And usually prognosises tend to value them higher than they end up, so I guess we can expect them to get around 25%. Plenty of space for other parties to form a coalition.

For the USA, yes, but there are other countries too where democracy still kinda works
