I agree, the features apple does implement do tend to be more polished or at the very least not annoying to the user.

I think part of the “it just works” definition is the default apps should work without missing features, however you’re not wrong, alternatives do exist.

Edit: spelling

Once again, I’m still trying to figure out how apple users can defend this. Yes, Google maps had this feature, but everytime I talk to apple users I’m always told they got their phone because “it just works!”. But then I learn that features I consider basic at best are completely missing. If my iphone should “just work” I expect the features I want to exist without another app installation. Things on iphone only seem to work if you don’t know anything better.

This makes me wanna get my Sony DSLR and start taking photography lessons again, this is awesome!

By far windows, windows lacks or doesn’t fully utilize features like full verified boot, sandboxing which means even if a program installs itself it still has to ask for permission for mic, camera, etc. Adding on to the issues even the programs themselves can be unsafe. Running a program that uses a memory safe programming language is pretty rare and a lot of vulnerabilities come from memory allocation and buffer overflow bugs. Android attempts to mitigate these issues by sandboxing every app, all phones ship with verified boot and full disk encryption, and usually have a memory allocator of sorts. And if you run a degoogled ROM you’ll mitigate the privacy issues by not having Google play services installed.

If you need some way to monitor these devices as an admin there are apps on android that allow this functionality, iOS has similar admin features.

Strongly agree

Pertaining to the signal issue, as with anything, if you and I can use it, so can corrupt politicians, drug dealers, terrorists, and more. Signal is a great tool but it can be abused like anything else

edit: I’m not saying what these politicians are doing is okay, I’m only mentioning this just in case someone is anti-encryption, encryption is good and any political figure trying to outlaw it can go fuck themselves

Is your residence well guarded? I have a few drones and some… bom- I mean explo- UH… things I’d love to give you!

Slick AF, I love it!

No! I will not do what the (Bottom Text Here) says!!!

I feel the same pains with Signal, I was very lucky in the sense that basically everyone I needed to communicate with would join, however a few members, mostly my brother which is known to be very much a stick in the mud wouldn’t join. While I love him to death, he can be very much a pain to bargain with. Maybe someday…

For the most part yes, I would say anything mainstream is generally made its way to lemmy, however some niche subs like r/hamradio r/gmrs and some gaming subreddits like r/fireemblem and r/finalfantasy seem to be missing. Honestly I’m surprised even 90+% of the communities I follow are on here, I’m quite hopeful that it’ll continue to get better.
