            Android phones are cheaper upfront that then leads to the people of colour often using them in the global south

          Literally nobody cares what colour your bubbles are.

          What is annoying is how group chats suck when people on android are involved.

          I’m mostly looking forward to that being fixed

            You a teen in the US?

            Saw a teen tell Tim Cook kids in his school were being bullied over not necessarily one hue vs. another shade but presumably the degraded functionality (simplified as “green bubbles”).

            Group chats are so huge - and including one non-Apple user means nobody gets bells & whistles.

            It’s absolutely ridiculous! But it’s hard to argue - it’s happening, making less money would stop it, but money matters more than kids.

                I just don’t think you and I are the people who see this stuff.

                When it comes to video games and violence, you have to try - try to draw lines.

                What kind of line needs to be drawn to deduce “who’s green?” is related to a feature?

      iOS devices would be actually good if they literally just let you install .ipa s from anywhere (.apk equivelent for iOS). Not even unlocking the APIs that ensure Apple apps stay on top, just allowing .ipa installation.

        What IPAs do you want to install? This is a real question, I know there are a handful of apps that you need to install from outside the App Store but over the years as restrictions have loosened that has dropped to almost nothing for me.

        I used to install nzbUnity which has been fully replaced by LunaSea at this point, and with the rule change allowing emulators they really took a ton of wind out of the sails of the 3rd party App Store push.

      Because it keeps showing up on /all and the apple haters just can’t help themselves. People enjoying things drives them insane.
