Using iPhones is fine.

But I see people being so “SovCit” then go on and use an iPhone, which is just like… wtf lol

Honestly, if you can tolerate the Apple ecosystem it works really well, with adequate privacy.

Not having firefox browser extensions is a huge dealbreaker tho (because Apple require some safari thing in all the browsers that breaks extentions), like imagine not being able to have uBlock Origin.

Also, I’m a bit of a pirate… Apple app store has no torrent client… 😉

But like… that’s because most of the time it’s nationalism.

But the thing is America is supposed to be all about “Freedom”

I mean, Americans even defied a resonable thing like wearing masks, but then is okay with not having the freedom to install apps… Not sure how much people actually care about freedom… 🤔

I am not a fan of Apple but if a company is going to screw me then at least Apple isn’t so in-my-face about it like Google is. Google’s data harvesting and ads are absolutely atrocious.

I mean, that’s kinda the dilemma.

You might get a bit more privacy with Apple, but then you sacrifice with the whole “not being able to ‘sideload’ apps” thing.

And if you want to bit of freedom, you have to use Android, which means you lose more privacy because the whole Google thing.

Ugh, why does every company suck so much. 🤦‍♂️

(Also: I don’t even know if Apple is really more private, its kinda just blind faith tbh…)

all of my Linux phones before then ran slow in a year or so. That never happened with my iPhones

Linux isn’t really optimized for phones so they are going to be terrible.

And since Apple doesn’t really sell budget phones, iPhones are always gonna be fast, so is a flagship Android phone. Its the flagship aspect that makes a phone fast, not the OS.

I mean, I’d love to stop thinking about determinism, but… its not like I could just choose stop thinking about it, since I don’t have free will to choose to not think about it… ironic 😅

trump’s “he was just joking” should become “he wAs jUSt joKING”

Name it “RedditSimulator” because that’s what it is 🤣

Edit: We can roleplay as a human or bot

If human, just post normally like an average redditor, if you wanna roleplay as a bot, only post from a chatbot. Then Lemmings have to guess if a user is roleplaying as a human ot a bot. 🤣

Fun Fact: US subways lack the safety doors.

When I first arrived in the US, I was just like: I’m gonna fall in and I’m gonna die

Looking at the tracks is terrifying. I always feel like I was about to die whenever I took the subway.

I was from Guangzhou and the subway always had platform safety doors.

Reboot Earth, just as Judge Hydrogen intended

But Seig Heils? Even the most dense among them must know that blatant Nazism hurts their legitimacy in the eyes of the public, even among MAGATs

“hE wAs jUSt joKING 😡😡😡” -every magat ever

Because I think the post is stupid and I want to yell at OP

I was born in PRC, now a naturalized US Citizen living in the US.

This is basically just “Sino-Soviet Split” v2: Western Boogaloo.

lemmy.dbzer0.com - anarchist, hates all states, both USA and Russia/China types

Other non-tankie options are

sh.itjust.works - shhhh… 🤫 it… just works… 😉

lemmy.ca - Canadian 🇨🇦

sopuli.xyz - Run by a Finn 🇫🇮

🤔

lemmy.dbzer0.com is anarchist and stongly hates all states, both USA and the Russia, China types.

lemmy world is neoliberal, I mean, tankies do post there, but the moderation is mostly neoliberal and are anti-violence absolutists, even if its directed towards nazis

lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, and hexbear.net (now chapo.chat) are tankies, avoid those

Pretty much everyone else on lemmy are anti-authoritarian and pro- socialist policies, some are social democrats, others are democratic socialists, some are anarchists.

If you don’t like tankies:

lemmy.dbzer0.com (we have [email protected] 😉)

sh.itjust.works

lemmy.ca

sopuli.xyz

piracy community is blocked on lemmy.world btw, so you might as well joine us, or any of my recommended ones.

TLDR: lemmy.world is not “communist”, just just a few tankies that love to post thinnly veiled authoritarianism.

Edit: Also, you are probably seeing federated posts from lemmy.ml, I block most of those communities except like a few non-political ones like c/privacy

Or they could just… hide in a bunker and watch us all suffer…

Yes, the person in the mirror does.

I never understood why the N word is racist because of history, but then being black makes it fine to say.

Lol I had a Black teacher that would not be happy if her Black students used the N word. (USA btw)

Almost got hanged on jan 6

Few inches tho. Just a few inches. The hunter last season was terrible at the aim
