I don’t understand the love for Telegram.

In the short period of using it I had so much BS come through by scammers/spammers - both as DMs and group messages. I’ve rarely had that with WhatsApp.

In my eyes WhatsApp is far better than Telegram. And Signal is far greater than WhatsApp. The only thing I wish Signal had was inbuilt GIFs; it’s not that much of an issue on mobile but it’s a pain on desktop.

I wish he didn’t ramble as much as he does. Most of his videos could be a quarter of the length.

Surprised the title didn’t say, “Apple slammed for ear pods that are designed to die”.

Gluing components together so it’s not easy/impossible to repair is different to ‘designing to die’. In my opinion designed to die suggests the ear pods will die prematurely due to intentional design decisions. Gluing components together just means that when the ear pods die, then they cannot be brought back to life and you have to replace them.

Is there a Lemmy version of UI battles?

I’ve recently driven a brand new 2023/2024 Maxus T90EV. It had 15 miles on the clock when I drove it. These are the problems I experienced with it and these aren’t even touching on my preferences like I thought the seats were uncomfortable, or that regenerative braking is quite aggressive and can’t be changed. So I doubt China EVs are going to take over, not in 2024 at least.

  • Auto lights didn’t work
  • Auto wipers didn’t work
  • Intermittent wipers didn’t work
  • Rear view camera was really poor quality
  • Infotainment system crashed, where I had to walk away from the vehicle with it still in its crashed state. At some point it finally turned off and worked again on the next drive
  • Bluetooth audio kept crashing
  • Infotainment system is really basic
  • Shudders when driving on the factory set speed limiter
  • No driving aids like cruise control or driver defined speed limiter

What happens when you share a link to an image? Does Lemmy just save the link or does it make a copy of the image?

To summarise, I2P is similar to Tor, except that every client also serves as a node, and there are no exit nodes, so you can only access data shared by other I2P clients

Is my summary correct?

I don’t mind reposts when there is discussion on the reposts. When there is zero discussion, which is what’s happening with the Reddit copy paste on Lemmy then it’s just clutter.

If I sort by new, most of the submissions are reposts with zero votes and zero comments. If I sort by activity/hot then I see days old submissions. … how engaging. I’d prefer to engage with new content but I’m not prepared to look over ~twenty submissions to only find one or two real submissions.

Is this an old screenshot? The email looks like a screenshot of a screenshot, of a screenshot, etc.
