It reminds me of how Weird Al’s wonderful movie UHF didn’t do great in theaters, being released in the summer of 1989. That meant it was competing against the following blockbusters:

• Ghostbusters II
• Back to the Future Part II
• Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
• Lethal Weapon 2
• Batman
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Rexxit

At least call it Rexit, damn

Everything Google has done with emojis after the original version of the blobmojis has been obnoxious and weird

RIDF begone

The Android Open Source Project and all of its resources wouldn’t go anywhere, it would just lose its biggest parasite.

Don’t be sanctimonious about your choice in cell phone, it’s weird. Also, I’m typing this from a phone that has a headphone jack and a microSD slot

Yeah I’ve seen a few things get messed up by that idiotic rule. When you euphemistically say “reasons” in italics, it sounds worse than it is. I assumed you were trying to gently tell people “Google suspended the dev for being racist” or something.

*Gboard is preparing to add an entirely new kind of activity to log and send to Google along with all of your normal keystrokes

What reasons?

Sega had a chance to hold on to enough market dominance to remain as the third console player even after this, but then their fate was sealed at the very instant they decided to put a CD-ROM drive in the Dreamcast instead of a DVD drive.

No, you got it backwards

What if I were to tell you that it was possible to buy software online before the Google Play Store existed?

I agree that reddit mods suck, hence my post. Did you seriously get that confused?

“Fuck you.”

“But why?”

*You have been muted for 72 hours

All these AIs are going to produce is incoherent, poorly written, unresearched puff pieces abaut topic-adjacent garbage. In other words, we won’t even be able to tell when the switch happens.

Personally I would prefer guillotines and pikes

Sorry man, they’re too young to get it

You need to sharpen your reading comprehension skills, I don’t have any problem with Apple and their products are fine. The 1st and 2nd get iPhones were less functional than the devices they purported to supplant by a wide margin, and the 3GS was the first actually good device they made. That’s all right there in the text, you just have to look with your eyeballs and put the words through the critical thinking part of your brain instead of the emotional reaction part. Even in 2007 it was laughable that you couldn’t connect to WiFi with a purported smart device. Its feature base sucked ass till the 3GS, and now they’re fine; the only reason I don’t use an iPhone is because I prefer auditable FOSS, hence I use an Android device with an AOSP-based ROM and no Gplay Services. If it wasn’t for that, the iPhone would be a fine alternative.

On this day in 2007 smartphones took a nosedive in functionality that they took years to recover from. The first iPhone was especially bad, by modern standards it wasn’t even a smartphone, it was a feature phone with a touchscreen. I had a Nokia E70 in 2007, a time when the culture around using Apple products was even more elitist than it is today, and it was beyond annoying to be told shit like “well you don’t really need to be able to copy and paste text, or record video, or record voice notes, or install third-party apps, that’s all just bloat” by brand loyalists who really needed me to know why my phone was actually worse than an iPhone for being able to do those things. If we’re going to celebrate the iPhone for innovating and being a decent product, I agree, but that didn’t happen till the 3GS came out.

8:43 A.M. and already this is the dumbest thing I’ll read all day.
