Thank the deregulation of the 80's and 90's, coupled with the internet making it easier than ever to access anything and everything.

It used to be that spreading falsehoods or political bias on network TV or the airwaves via radio could get your station's license revoked by the FCC. But Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine, and with that out of the way, there were no barriers for Rush Limbaugh and similar ilk to make more money by saying whatever kept the hyper-conservative, over-religious pearl clutches tuning in.

Of course, but I think when people complain about the software, it's that out-of-the-box experience they are describing. The vast majority of users are not savvy enough to flash custom ROMs, sideload, or even install a new launcher. And even for those with the expertise to do so, it's extra work.

But then that also doesn't quite address the app situation either. Android, for better or worse, is all about scalable interfaces to accommodate an infinitely wide array of devices, but most people with a tablet will tell you that they don't like "tablet" apps that are just rescaled phone apps with way too much whitespace. So there may be something to be said about the way Apple maintains iPad OS separately from iOS, with more stringent design standards to adhere to for app developers to have their iPad apps listed in their app store.

It's a valid concern, though. The tablet experience has always sucked on Android, so the foldable experience is trying to hybridize with something the OS has never been able to get right.

But the inverse is also true. There's no telling if a future software update will take a good experience and make it terrible.

Only difference I can see is that it looks like they sharpened the edges and removed the screen bevel in the process.

But that could have already happened on prior devices without me noticing, since my current device is years old and I haven't seen a need to upgrade yet.

But you are what you eat. Become the blahaj.

I think there are sometimes delays. Sometimes I'll post a comment that gets a few replies, which then appear in my inbox, and I'll check each one to mark as read. Then I'll see another new message a few minutes later, but posted before any of the other ones. It'll get listed earlier in my inbox as well so it shows up as an unread message after the couple of read ones I already checked.

Ahhh, so they "mischaracterized" it. That makes it okay, then.

Banning an entire class of ads online and in media during peak hours? Sounds like a win to me, even if it doesn't have the effect they hope for.

Ads suck, especially ads that are selling garbage no one needs. The fewer, the better.

But what about the Honey Badger?

Some Republicans, like all of the ones endorsing Harris, but Trump's MAGA core voting base is still shielded by their reality distortion field where Trump "won".

I couldn't even watch 10 minutes because it was so painfully obvious they were just lying through their teeth, and it was so desperate sounding that to a non-R voter, it came across as them not even watching the debate.

I think that may be their strategy. They assume a lot of their base doesn't want to watch the debate, instead they just tune in after the fact, and they get the bizarro universe account of what happened presented as fact and thus feel more validated in their beliefs.

During Cerny's presentation, he specifically talked about the compromise between 60fps performance mode and 30fps graphics modes, so it's to get 60 fps that people are typically enabling performance mode for.
