My mother in law has no problem with M/M but complains about lesbians (says it's disgusting) - I then assumed homophobes are bothered more about gays of their own gender in general.

Oh, there is. But while they keep this game up, there's still plausible deniability for everything.

The creator of bitcoin is as unknown as batman's identity. The folks at the center of the main blockchain companies and stuff like that all know pretty well who created it, they just play along with the story.

He's doing what's called a "neuralink move"

There are many communities I would have no interest in participating actively, but that I still like to hear about when something big happens. The all feed kinda gives me that sort of experience.

I work with typescript on a very large codebase. If I have the code editor open and the run a typecheck at the same time, plus some electron apps and Spotify playing, it can easily fill my 32GB of ram, so 64 would be the next cool number to not have to worry about ram ever.

I'm coming from /all with no knowledge of star trek or any of those characters. After reading the whole thing I kinda understand where this opinion was coming from, though I disagree with it.

Their intention was to say it's homophobic to call a man gay just because of how he acts with another man. This is because homophobic people tend to call out straight folks as gay all the time just because they don't act macho enough or some shit.

There is some truth to what they were claiming, but as I understood it the things that made you call this character gay were not his actions and mannerisms but for his apparent attraction to another character. Plus at no point you used that characterization as a negative thing.

It's not homophobic to simply think someone might be gay. It would be if they explicitly identified themselves as straight, or if you had only homophobic reasons to think they are. This was not the case here and this person was reacting to every comment by interpreting them in the absolute worst possible way.

I got the years confused, you can disregard my whole comment.

I don't think they were comparing emulators between apple and android, just mentioning that emulators are better on it than they expected it to be.

My take on the list: seems most issues are related to Samsung specifically. I've never owned a Samsung Android so I can't really relate to them. I don't really see the performance issue happening with mid tier androids though - I'm using a Motorola edge 20 and it is still just as fast as it was two years ago. Weaker decides definitely have this problem, but a flagship is not supposed to. Might be related to Samsung bloatware, maybe.

Complaints about apps and Google abandoning services is 100% real. I don't mind the inconsistent look and feel tho, I even kinda like it - I wouldn't like it if everything on my phone looked the same year after year (I tend to switch launchers and icon/theme sets from time to time). Also not a fan of the extra animations Apple tends to have (I'm saying this based on osx as I haven't actively used any iOS in a while). I've probably even tweaked the animation settings on my phone back when I got it to speed them up. Still, Apple's app ecosystem is miles ahead of android's in almost every way. Even though apps can do much more on Android than on iOS, the store is trash and Apple's isn't (store itself still has some issues but the average app on it is much better).

I'm curious about this shortcuts app. I vaguely remember hearing about it when it came out but I'm not sure what it can do, I'm gonna check it out. Can't comment on some other items as I don't drive, don't take many pictures, don't use my face to unlock and only really use one Bluetooth audio device.
