It’s a consequence of retail. Because carriers in the US determine which phones most of us can access, with the exit of LG from the market the Android landscape in the US was effectively reduced to Samsung. Other manufacturers may as well not exist for all the average shopper is led to believe – the brick and mortar store where you pick out your phone gives you two options: iPhone or Samsung.

Certain markets too, perhaps. I’m in the US with an A32 because I’ve just flat-out stopped paying for flagships, and I haven’t seen any junk in the most recent update.

What exactly does Sabbath mode do? Is it like a burst of deep freeze so the appliance can power down Fri-Sat and stay cold, or what?

Asking as a renter with Sabbath mode on the fridge in my apartment.

D’oh, my Lemmy Explorer count is three lower than my sh.itjust.works count. 😔

The majority, yeah. Users didn’t go to third party apps out of spite toward reddit; I doubt too many will have hung around this long in the spirit of some symbolic D-day to stick it to spez.

Oh god, the loss of Sync was legitimately the straw that broke reddit’s back for me. I would instantly pay Laurence for this

FOSS, donations

ngl I always assumed that was a placeholder sub without any content, just to sustain the meme that /r/lounge was a thing

I mean yeah, that too, but that’s outside of the scope of my answer for OP 😂

What is the political view of spez, anyways?

He’s a tech bro with pp envy towards those peers who flipped their startups for more than he did. He feels silly for having sold reddit for “only” 10 mil and wants reddit’s IPO to springboard him into the deeper end of the pool.

I don’t think there is a political view of spez, because I think he’s just a wannabe Zuck, Dorsey, etc. His motive is cash.

I like your energy hombre

Did the same this morning, down to the same app
