In new zealand they do the age restriction first and in a few jears a full ban. And i think that they banned it for the jear where the people where still underage. So it is more a way to “soften” the ban

not necessarily manufacturers but the open source community can support 10 year old phones with new security updates like the LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE. https://doc.e.foundation/devices

On IPhones there is not really such a community because apple aggressively screws people for profit and will stay to do so in the future because that works.
Other companies copied Apples design choices like unmovable batteries because that works. And some fans argue “but not replace batteries are more water proof” and such but the phones only got more fragile.

And its not like they are the best in customer service, i mean they only offered repairs for design flaws when a lot of people sued them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUaJ8pDlxi8&t=801s&pp=ygUUbG91aXMgcm9zc21hbm4gYXBwbGU%3D (25 minute video by Louis Rossmann about apples repeated design failures)

And for the M1, i looked into it, nice that they don’t lock the boot-loader without jailbreak. But they don’t help with the OS, that again is the open source community.

And you are right: Apple is not the worst, Nestlé is the worst but a completely different topic.

I know that the products of apple are very user friendly and everything can like work together. The software is brilliantly comfortable so that a users don’t want to use everything else, because how comfortable it is. For me it is a trap by a greedy mega cooperation.

you can turn off that you see pot posts in your profile/settings

I dont think that those bots will be as dominant as now in the future when more community content comes in. When that time comes i think even the mods know that they getting more and more obsolete

in your profile/settings you can turn off to see bot posts.

I think every bot that fills a place with cheap stolen content is more there to have some content for new people that they dont feel lost.
So i think they are good until there is enough content and then i think it would be okay to repost the top of the week every week.

yesthe UI/UX is bad, but i am pationt enough to wait the few weeks until alternativev pop up that really should be nice. Like Sync. I know there is an 3 party website already but i did not try to really use it and forgot the url

maybe to show that Reddit is the bad page of the internet, dont know, i am not a mod

please dont delete your account.

1. you could talk about lemmy and maybe bring people here
2. You could bring your old posts here
3. you could exchange your messages with nonsense:

4. you can sell it to a bot network

“: if you replace the content of your posts/comments with nonsense, you’ll make Reddit Inc. (including its CEO) lose money.”

"There’s a good chance that those API price changes were motivated by large businesses using Reddit to train their large language models (LLMs) with. Stuff like GPT-3, Google’s BERT, Facebook’s Galactica, stuff like this. In other words, your content will be used to train bots. (It is, already.)

Those models can be “poisoned” with random, machine generated nonsense. Poisoned data is worse than useless: it makes the model worse. So for each person replacing their Reddit content with nonsense, those businesses will be willing to pay Reddit Inc. less and less for API access."

"Here is a mini-tutorial on how to do this. It’s for desktop users but you’ll likely be able to do the same from a phone browser.

• [Choose 1/3] Open Zompist’s gen. Take off the line saying “ki|či”, and click “Generate”. You’ll get some random babble like “Bepe topioi kabi brete i kropra”, copy it somewhere.
• [Choose 2/3] Open https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/ to get an entire bullshit article
• [Choose 3/3] Open https://nonsense.x2d.org/ to get a bullshit sentence, i suggest getting a few ones.
• Open your Reddit profile and drag the button of Power Delete Suite to it.
• [Optional] Check the box saying “prepare local backup of items”, if you want to save your content elsewhere.
• Uncheck “remove comments”. You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
• [Optional] uncheck “remove posts”. It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
• Check “Edit comments / self posts”. It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompist’s gen there. Then click “process”.
• Just wait!
• [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.

If you don’t like Zompist’s gen and/or Power Delete Suite, you can use any generator and/or Reddit mass edition tool of your choice."

and yes, i am somewhat still on reddit but i think i do more against them when my app does not work anymore (to spread lemmy or information) i will follow this process

the larger communities already make it to an confusing place

votes would not really help except when people are doing it on a mass scale and this is unlikely

i personally engage with crappit for two things: stay informed and spread about the fediverse and other alternatives. I dont 100% focus on lemmy because my main goal is that crappit gets hurt for what they done so i promote alternatives in general.

when it works on your machine we should ship it to the customer
