That part of my comment was a bit of an hyperbole tbh, but it’s also true that Apple just slaps the “Pro” moniker to their most expensive tier without always making them deserve it.

Before the iPhone 15 Pro series, there wasn’t really much “pro” in the Pro models. Same with the iPad Pro, sure they’re way nicer and higher end, but hardly anything “pro” about them.

And don’t get me started with the new baseline 14 inch MacBook Pro, with a regular M3 and 8GB of RAM.

Disclaimer: I’m in no way trying to defend Apple here.

Saying that X amount of RAM (or any other component spec for that matter) is not enough for a “Pro” computer is not really a universal truth or something, you can’t compare people running multiple instances of Docker with people doing photo editing or web dev for example.

Either of those can be “Pros” within their field, their hardware requirements doesn’t make them professionals or enthusiasts. I know I’m being a bit tangential here, but arguing about the “correct” spec por a Pro computer has always irked me.

That being said, I agree it’s ridiculous that Apple is shipping $1K+ computers with merely 8GB of RAM. Also, it’s known that Apple’s “pro” devices most of the time just mean they’re just their most expensive tier. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone brake-checking in my country. It’s almost always videos from the US.

They’re the de-facto option in most of the industries they have products for, if you decide not to use any of their products, you’re alienating yourself from your peers.

There’s a case to be made about “buying” digital media and being able to keep the file in your local storage, that way it wouldn’t cost anything to the publisher when you play the content.

I understand the piracy implications, but most of the content is pirated anyway regardless of DRM, so the only ones affected are those who actually pay for content.

If I remember correctly, only a third of the whole payment was financed with Tesla shares as collateral.

“Hannah Montana” changed to “Hannah Montana Forever” for its final season.

I believe it’s a matter of being in the same platform as controversial content.

In the end they’re paying Twitter to display their ads, and if Twitter allows questionable content to be in their platform, the companies are indirectly supporting it.

They’re back up. I just checked, there was a vote and they allow videos again.

r/videos is back up though. The protest ended up being for nothing.

Thank you for this, I saw yesterday’s @Some_Emo_Chick@lemmy.world’s post and thought it looked pretty good, but without your post I wouldn’t have even thought about actually preparing it myself.

There was an article form yesterday saying that Holywood Studios’ endgame was to let the writers go broke before resuming talks. So zero good faith at all.

I don’t remember if the bot would work at all, but I was referring to all the people that used one of those tools to delete their comments or mass edit them to something like “this message has been edited because fuck u/spez” or something like that.

Hadn’t thought about how many people will come back to see their RemindMes on Reddit only to find deleted comments from people that left Reddit nuking their comments.

I would say Mlem is also inspired by Apollo, so I would recommended it as well; I keep jumping back and forth between Memmy, Mlem and wefwef.

Tried Thunder and Liftoff!, but they feel very Material Design-y to me, so using them on iOS feels off. Which is a shame because both are pretty fast.

Lemmios is also promising, but it’s still on early development so it’s a bit rough around the edges.

A lot of people use social media to follow celebrities, brands, politicians, etc., and Mastodon doesn’t have that (yet at least).

I prefer Mastodon, my feed consists of the people I decided to follow, instead of an algorithmic one. But one have to accept that Mastodon lacks the kind of users that most people want to follow.

Hopefully, if Meta ends up delivering on their promise to add support for the Fediverse, I will be able to follow the kind of people that otherwise would’ve never joined Mastodon (ie brands that would offer support for their products), from my Mastodon client of choice.

I know a lot of people disagree with Meta joining the Fediverse, but I prefer to be optimistic about it. Also, Mastodon supports blocking domains at a user level, so if you really don’t want to interact with @threads.net users, you can do it yourself.

Worst case scenario, we get back to the current status quo, so there’s nothing to lose.

Yes.

A couple weeks back I was at a French food cafeteria, and I was in the mood for a “French toast”, but I couldn’t find it in the menu for the life of me.

I had to google “French toast name in France”, and that’s how I was able to know the name to order it haha

It’s “Pain perdu” for those wondering.

Liftoff! is super snappy, but I can’t get used to the UI, to me it seems like it lacks attention to detail on the visuals part of the app.

Edit: I just figured out why it looks so strange to me: the app is very Material Design-y, so it feels outta place on iOS.

Elon’s mom didn’t give him permission, so I’m afraid it’s most likely not gonna happen.
