Any app that doesn’t require any backend to function.

If you ask for a subscription for an app without the need to support a backend… I won’t subscribe. I’ll find something else.

Mostly anything else is fine.

Though, if it’s something like a Note-Taking app where the cloud infrastructure for backups and sharing would cost pennies and you’re asking more than $1 a month, I’m out. Looking at you, Evernote. $64 a year to replace the built-in Notes app? No thanks.

That’s true, but it’s also possible to release apps individually on mobile similar to PC releases.

We also currently get the worst of both worlds with stuff like Goodnotes. They had a one-time buy, but currently they’ve injected AI-related nonsense into v6. They allow owners of the previous version to still use v6, but it’s extremely crippled and functionally worse than 4 or 5. Constant nagging about the new version and features. V6 fully replaced v5 on the App Store, so we can’t do anything about it now. Even in my purchase history, my purchase was forcibly “upgraded.”

What I paid for was a digital notebook app that I could write down notes on with my Apple Pencil and iPad. It had a few nice features I didn’t really need, but were nice to have like writing-to-text replacement. It had cloud backups, but they were through iCloud or OneDrive on the user’s individual storage so I’m assuming it didn’t add a monthly cost overhead to the developer.

Now it’s a subscription model app with features I don’t want nor need that completely replaced the app I paid for.

I’d work in my sleep if all these conditions are met:

  1. It replaces my 9-5 completely.
  2. I am still fully rested after waking, or at the very least no meaningful difference to my sleep health.
  3. I wake up and don’t remember anything.

I’d like to see how this compares to other solutions like Virtual Desktop. If it’s more performative, I’ll go for it. I can’t imagine there will be a big difference.

“they” is fine to use for any individual or group as a catch-all.

We can shame a person and their actions without making it about their appearance.

People that disrespect others time are not friends of mine.

I don’t care what level of important any person puts on something they planned. Show up on time or don’t make a promise at all.

Any chance you could refer me? I’ve been applying for places since January and I graduate in December.

That CPU is terrible for any real CPU-heavy work, but the price and performance and capability is great. I’d be tempted to get one myself!

Basically it means what you can expect the laptop to do.

This tablet is decent for basic web usage, office apps, general use (music/videos etc).

It’s not good for games, dev projects (think big apps), photo editing, video editing, and anything I forgot to list that’s “heavy usage.”

If you don’t need the latter, it’s just fine.

The only way I could do that was if you wanted me too I could come and pick it out and then I can go pick up it from your place or you could just pick me out of there or you could pick me out and I could just go pick up my truck or you can just come pick me out or you could come pick it out or you could go to my place or you can come to the store or you could do that and then you could pick up whatever I was up and pick up the groceries.

It definitely is. I’ve had to do a lot of recent deliveries.

Adam Lambert.

Holy fuck his range and control. It’s insane.

Even if his music is mediocre, his vocals are amazing.

What do you mean modern AC can only cool by 20F?

I’m in Florida and it’s routinely 95-98F outside. My AC is set to 65F.

Did you mean 20C? Either way, that’s also false. AC units are limited to their rating and BTU. Many may not cool below 60F, but there’s no delta limit.

The person that replied to you is probably being scientific-literal and obnoxious. I understood what you meant just fine. :}

One could look at the concept of the fediverse and relate it to the ideals of segregating higher powers (big businesses) and giving power to the working class (pay for labor). IE: the concept of dividing up Lemmy as a service into multiple-owned servers instead of a single monolith like Reddit. This tends to align with the ideology of Leftism (to be clear, the progressive class of beliefs, for anyone non-American) tend to be more inviting and inclusive to people. This makes for a good platform for trans people to feel welcomed.

This is not a factual answer, and I do not believe anyone here holds the authority to state a fact. It is only my personal observation.

“Something bad said against Republicans is propaganda” doesn’t sound fascist at all, huh?

To be clear, saying this can cause cancer is similar to saying that water will be classified as toxic.

Cancer is a genetic/cellular lottery we play every day. Consuming certain substances can change those odds. We’re talking 1 in a Trillion (a number I pulled out of my ass, to be clear), and perhaps consuming aspartame changes that to 100 in a Trillion. 100x more likely to get cancer? Not really.

Just like how water is classified as toxic if you drink too much (cellular over-hydration) consuming too much aspartame can cause cancer.

Though I suppose it remains to be seen. I’m making broad assumptions and I’ll wait for the professionals and studies and scientific journals to tell me what’s what.

If you use any app other than what Apple provides, you become a second class citizen on your own phone.

Third party apps simply don’t integrate with iOS nicely unless Apple allows it. Even though you can choose a web browser, it has to use Safari’s underlying code base.

I’m on a Pixel 7. A lot of people say it’s like Google’s iPhone, but I can use Firefox as my browser natively. Adblocking actually works, too. I can choose any app as a default for whatever. Lots of FOSS! Google doesn’t own my Pixel the same way Apple owns the iPhone.
