It could be a cheesey quip, like the shit the good guys say in actio films when they kill the bad guys.

"'Consider this an official act..... of kickin your ass!"

Movie is called

Mount Killmore

Why does this read like english is this persons 2nd language, but look like it was made by someone for whom english is infact their 1st language?

The word bed looks like a bed.

Did they seriously just ban people from wearing clothes and putting on makeup?

Will this extend to the performing arts?

Are they completely repressed or just depraved?

Had a fold 3 since launch 3 years ago. It's the best phone I've ever used. Software is brilliant and clearly a focus for samsung. The big inner screen is amazing for work and games as well as browsing. Well worth it.

The crease is just a non-issue. People see it from an angle and they think it looks bad and that it would bother them, but i assure you, when you are using the phone yourself and its facing you, like all phones that you are currently interacting with are facing you, you cannot see it. After using this phone for 3 years, i can honestly say i forget its even there.

Anyone complaining about the crease has almost definitely never used one of these phones. I hear the complaint and i can only drawn that conclusion. Its like saying you dont like a certain food that you have never tasted.

There are downsides to the fold phone that the flips wont have. Like the fold 3 is a bit heavier than most normal phones and it has sometimes been an issue when using my phone lying down somewhere as it can be cumbersome to hold up at arms length.

Also the strange aspect ratio means that video is too small to play on the outer screen and doesnt fill the inner screen. You get black boxes at the top and bottom, so video is always a little bit smaller than the inner screen. This doesnt affect games, it seems that 99% of games support the aspect ratio and often give you some level of advantage.

This would not be true on the flip phones as they have a normal screen size when open.

Incidentally, next week i am buying the fold 6 and locking in for another 3 years on a contact. If that is any endorsement.

Edit: reading throught the comments here i noticed a consistent pattern.

Those who have the folding phones cant recommend them enough and say they are the best phones they ever bought.

Those that dont have one but have a friend that has one are saying dont get one as they look bad.

(Of course there are some exceptions on both sides but a quick mental tally, and it seems that what im saying is true)

If you want to weigh in, then maybe own or have owned one before deciding they are good or bad. Your friend might disagree with your concerns about their phone.

1.4k what? A year? What currency is that?

If that's yearly, it would be the equivalent in the uk would be the fold 6 costing the same as a 3 bedroom house. If i was earning 20k, which is give or take the minimum yearly wage here, and my house was 10x that, then yeah... 200k, about the cost of a lower mid level house.

How can a fold 6 cost mor than 10x your minimum wage? It doesnt even cost me 1 months salary and i am not in a well paid job.

Id say she got to know just about eveything she needed to know about this person.

Is it now the norm to make the term WiFi synonymous with the term cellular/mobile data (or 4g/5g)

They are not the same thing.

Is this like when people call tablets ipads? Or call vacuums hoovers/dysons.

Since google puts twitter feeds at the top and that cesspit is full of idiots i decided to check lemmy to see if i was alone in thinking this is a huge over reaction.

Pretty safe to say that people of lemmy are my people.

Personally i see it as a joke, maybe one in bad taste. Maybe one that shouldn't have been said. But a joke none the less. Its certainly interesting to see how the right react when the shoe is on the other foot.

Sorry, what? Err, yes, of course it is... i mean, its not quite chicken nuggets in the fast food sense, its cut pieces of chicken breast fried in batter and tossed in sauce as opposed to mashed up and reformed chicken anythings battered and tossed in sauce so its a little higer quality.

Forgive me, but it's like saying a snickers is just a mars bar but with nuts in.

Or fries are just potato strips cooked in oil.

But yeah.

Most things are things

Bit of a leap, my dude.

Of course we should have laws.

But for things that are actually harmful.

For everything else we should have regulation.

I dont know if i can keep using google stuff if this is the way they are going.

Why does everything have to be a fucking advert.

Who even likes adverts?

Just fuck off.

I guess im gonna have bee movie playing on a loop as my desktop background.

The boys did this last season. Its complete satire but its like holding a mirror to reality at the moment.

Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?

IE: What is my purpose?

Me: You download Chrome!

IE: Oh...my god!

Now Chrome isn't trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there's almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.

I was a chef for 10 years and worked in multiple kitchens. This just isnt true. At least its not a blanket rule.

Ive worked in cheap places with immaculate kitchens and posh places with grotty kitchens and vice versa.

Its luck of the draw sometimes but ive never EVER served food that fell on the floor or witnessed it happening.

I think you have likely worked in some bad places.

I always really liked that NTP uses port 123 which is the same number that you can dial, in the uk, on a analogue, landline phone, to call an automated service that tells you the precise time.

Some people have this incredibly annoying habit of seeing anything remotely tech related as magic and they switch off their brain, assuming that they could never understand it.

Them: "My computer is broken"

Me:"Whats the issue?"

Them: "i dont know, i tried to open my email and its got some error message and wont open"

Me:" what does the error message say?"

Them:"err, cannot open email during update, please wait until update is complete"

Me:"is your email app updating?"

Them:"yes.

Me:"wait for it to finish and try again..."

(Obviously tbats not a real scenario, but im not good at examples and just wanted to get the general gist across)

Im in the uk and my entire dick and balls go fully into the water, around the ubend, down the pipes to the large waste pipe, fill the entire waste pipe and then go all the way to the sewage treatment facility where they have a 9 to 5 cleaning shitty water. They earn more money than i do, and frankly, they are sustaining our life.

Sometimes, we fight, but then i remember my dick has it harder than i do.

Why is anyone here still using reddit? What's the point of not using reddit anymore if you still use reddit? Whats the point in saying fuck u/spez if you keep using reddit?

I've been exclusively on lemmy since the reddit blackout, and it's been great.

Just give reddit up my dudes. Its shit

I watched a dunkey video for it, i dont think there is any dialogue from will smiths character. Like they didnt bother to record it. There was one or two instances where he spoke, and it wasn't will smith.

Im just sitting here wondering how anyone thought this was going to be good in the first place. Every bit of trailer or gameplay footage has made me meh from day one. "Looks like skyrim but in space" ive played skyrim.... to death.... changing the theme to space isnt exiting. Its cheap.

We used to have both good and bad games without microtransactions. I dont think its right to give concessions to game companies that include microtransactions just because its become so normalised.

I dont feel sorry for a game company that cant make literal billions from a game without adding a store.

They dont need billions to develop good games. Most of that profit goes straight to the top and overworked developers see very little of it.

I lost a wasp to my floor once... a wasp flew into my office room (im very scared of them, so i legged it). i got some wasp spray and waited at the doornway until i saw it again.

I (in a terrified flailing of an attempt) manage to get right up tinit and spray it for a few seconds and backed away to the door again.

I watched it crawl across my desk and go behind a little stack of books and didn't see it come back out.

I cautiously and tentatively crept in to look for it and looked behind the books, and it wasn't there. I looked behind the desk, which is fixed in place and rests on a set of drawa but has a gap at rhe back between it and the wall. I can't see it down there. I got under the desk and checked everywhere. i couldn't get the angle with my head, so i stuck my phone back there and took pictures of the space behind the drawers. It wasn't there. I even found one of these hard drive screws.

I have never found it, and im almost willing to accept. i made it up because i go mental with boredom when im working from home.

In the article it says they replaced it with force touch buttons but the driving instructors all found the buttons to be disorientating and dangerous on roundabouts whilst trying to turn the wheel. The stalk makes for a mich more fluid and less distracting method.

Tesla believe that no turn signals will be needed once they perfect self deiving cars (likely never....)

He seems like the kind of person that would enjoy a comedian makes jokes like "italian leople be like.... but jewish people be like...."

Im quite surprised he survived after that scene in borat. That did not look good for him.

Is this what they use to power those cheap android tablets you get from wish?

Because different people like dofferent things and all "art" is subjective. You are not an immutable objective font or source of truth. Therefore, whilst you might believe it's shit, any many will agree. You are simultaneously correct and incorrect in your assessment.

Or in short.

Not everyone likes what you like, so they pay for disney if thats what makes them happy.
