In Taiwan, nobody uses iMessage. It's an app called Line and it's basically the WeChat of Taiwan.

So we can basically hop from Apple to Android without issues with our messages. So that's why the % of Apple users are not inflated because of the dark patterns they are doing in the US.

jaschen ,

Unfortunately, I don't trust Apple either. I think Telegram or Signal might be a good option, but then again. They are just a CEO away from it being shitty.

I wish there was a better solution that is OSS but it won't catch on.

jaschen ,

Well, having an app that isn't tried down by an OS would be great. You could install Google meet on an iphone. Apple is just trying to take more market share.

jaschen ,

I think they sell the perception of privacy. They might not sell your data, but they certainly use that data to sell to you. They only care about profits and any privacy that you think you might have is just a byproduct of that greed.

Apple is an optics company and damn good at it too.

jaschen ,

Normies will use Apple because they claim to have privacy in their forefront. Nerds like me degoogle and don't use social media(unless you count this... What is Lemmy?).

It's easier to go Apple. Difficult to use Android and own your privacy.

jaschen ,

From a person who does zero coding. It's a godsend.

jaschen ,

I know zero coding and trying to query something in snowflake or big query is basically not accessible to me. This is basically a cheat code for me.

jaschen ,

Please leave us alone. We are doing nothing to you. We just want to exist with your torment.

jaschen ,

Without the ability to watch porn on it, it will not be mainstream. They are the Betamax of the DVD wars.

jaschen ,

Not 3D porn. Just regular like you're looking at a monitor.

jaschen ,

My bad!

jaschen ,

It's based on Android. So you basically sideload it by going to the 3D porn's website. So ya. 3d porn is great.

jaschen ,

It was slightly before my time. It was pretty much over by the time I was using it.

jaschen ,

Apple is playing a losing game not allowing porn.

jaschen ,

I agree with you on almost everything. I don't trust Apple or any big corp that sole(or soul) purpose is profits.

I trust the USPS more than Apple.

It's ok to watch porn.

jaschen ,

Yes it does, but it isn't immersive. It's basically the same as looking at a screen. 3D basically makes you the center of the porn. Put your face closer to the boobies. Look at the clock on the wall?

I remember seeing a 3D porn video where a mosquito let it on the male actor's thigh and he proceeds to kill it. It was awesome.

jaschen ,

It's cheaper to fly to Thailand and have legal sex and still be under 3500.

jaschen ,

This image would look great on a t-shirt

My brother in law says he likes commercials when I offered to remove it. They are over indexing this.

How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?

I've been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote. I just had an introductory phone call with Vizio (which didn't specify the location type in the job listing). The recruiter told me that the job was fully on-site, which I told her was a deal breaker...

jaschen ,

Web marketer here. If it says hybrid or on site, it's an automatic no for me. Nobody is taking me away from watching my son grow up.

jaschen ,

I remember there was a virus that had a tiny cat on the screen and it would chase your mouse cursor. Once it catches your mouse cursor, the computer would crash. It was freaking awesome.

jaschen ,

I don't remember what it was called. I was in grade school. I just remembered it was the funniest thing.

jaschen ,

I lived on Long Island and was in 3rd or 4th grade. I was invited to a friend's house to play and right before I entered the door, the dad stuck his leg out and blocked me from coming in.

He bent down and looked squared in the eye and asked "Where you from, kid?"

Ummm.... "Taiwan, sir"

He quickly smiled and said "alright, I did some RNR there. You good people".

I later found out that he doesn't let anyone from Vietnam in the house.

jaschen ,

He's probably having flashbacks from nam.

jaschen ,

Kids should never experience this stuff.

My family bought an electric forklift for their factory in the early 90s. I think it is a Yale.

My sister has since taken over the forklift for her company and she has only replaced the batteries and the controller once.

These things are cheap to replace and not as much of a mystery as ICE engines.

I am seeing people replace old Prius hybrid batteries themselves with basic tools now.

I think the only thing I would be concern about is the crash safety for cars. Newer cars are safer. I think that would be the only draw to buy a newer vehicle.

jaschen ,

Exactly. Plus the newer cells are more efficient and longer-lasting. You pretty much upgraded your vehicle.

jaschen ,

I'm sure someone has a kit for that.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back ( www.windowscentral.com )

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

jaschen ,

Um.... I actually want this feature. Maybe if its FOSS and I own the data. But the idea is amazing.

jaschen ,

I think you misunderstand what Recall actually does. It takes images of your screen and then you can query it. Images, text, graphs, etc.

"Hey, I was working on an automation for my home assistant and it stopped working. I had an automation that worked about 6 months ago. Can you pull that automation up and show me"

"My boss showed me a slide about a month ago talking about the TPS report, can you pull that up and show me that slide deck?"

The use case is endless.

jaschen ,

I paid 20USD for CIV6 for Android when it first came out. I really enjoyed it until I got on my first flight.

After switching to Spotify and back to the game, it turned off my game and won't let me play anymore.

I ended up hacking it and now I can play it offline.

They better not make the same mistake twice.

jaschen ,

Every time I see interesting/silly rules, it always reminds me that someone probably died before the rule was created.

jaschen ,

The newest stuff out of Taiwan is 1.6nm.

jaschen ,

I was searching on YouTube for seat sizes for a long haul flight and can try to compare different airlines seats. There was so much annoying content that I went to Bing to search (Google is bad now).

That was also pretty bad. I ended up using chatGPT and gave me the answer in 1 minute.

jaschen ,

When ChatGPT searches the web, it provides sources.

jaschen ,

I used the actual ChatGPT. I don't really like the copilot answers.

jaschen ,

I even take the badges off my car. Nobody needs to know what brand I have.

jaschen ,

We're all gonna die one day. At least I'll be comfortable at home instead of an open office desk.

jaschen ,

Well, I hope when I die, it will be at home and not at my desk job.

jaschen ,

Perfect. Bring it.

jaschen ,

Her could mean many things. It could be the way Sam(the movie character) talks. The flirty style. The way Sky can now detect emotion.

jaschen ,

I used to work as a teller and we used to run magnets on every roll of quarters that came in from laundry mats and car washes. While the weight is correct, American coins are never magnetic. Every single time it's the laundry mats that foot the bill.

jaschen ,

I didn't ask about that. We got our own problems, but they are our problems. How about you mind your fucking business and just leave us the fuck alone. We ain't never going to join the CCP no matter how much they pay you.

jaschen ,

Honestly, Japan and South Korea will be like Estonia with Ukraine.

Xi isn't planning on stopping in Taiwan. They are already aiming for the countries in the south China seas and Korea and Japan.

It's not a Taiwan problem. It's a global problem.

jaschen ,

Nobody knows Xi's true motivation.

The UK was once a super power and we didn't need to form some sort of blockcade with the UK. Because their interest aligned with the US. Along with Taiwan and Japan and all the other NATO countries.

jaschen ,

Barking dogs don't bite, Mr Paper Dragon.

If you're gonna do it, do it. Stop giving us empty warnings. We ain't scared of you.

jaschen ,

Japan and Korea are set to fight alongside us. They know they will be next.

Have you heard of the 1.6nm chip Taiwan just invented? Wanna know who doesn't get these new chips once Taiwan is in China's hands? We got at least 10 years before they even come close to catching up.

Ukraine is just a buffer from Russia.

jaschen ,

Sometimes I find the movie with the best subtitles and then play it in streamio. Pause and then go to real debrid to download it for when I'm going on a flight.
