Which part of having access to the built-in APN settings has to do with running whatever software I want?

[–] BitingChaos@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (7 children)

I was able to set custom APN settings on my Pixel to bypass the tethering block that MetroPCS puts on their cheapest plan.

There is nothing in iOS that lets you do that.

I also can't run WiFi scanners on iOS.

And Android will still have ADB sideloading. On iOS I have to run shit like Sideloadly to re-sign applications every 7 days.

If you're a true Android fan, there is still a lot to keep you on the platform.

Snap is the biggest issue.

The developers say they are awesome and the fans say they are awesome.

It doesn't change the fact that they kinda suck, the forced updates kinda suck, and the tone-deafness of the fans kinda sucks.

Picture unrelated...

That looks like the species that shows up every year.

Uh, most apps are still for Windows. That's why so many people use it.

If you tell someone to use an alternative OS, but then they are left on their own to run alternative versions of apps that don't work the same, forced to give up features they are use to, or run dozens of different programs through Wine or Proton or emulation or virtualization or whatever, JUST BECAUSE "Microsoft bad", they're going to laugh at you and go right back to Windows.

It's taken Linux 30(?) years to make it to 4%, and a lot of that is recent because of games. It's still a niche platform.

Part of the problem is the instance's open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup.

How is this even a thing? Why would the Lemmy software even allow operation like this?

They destroyed Overwatch 1 and gave us Overwatch 2.

I want to play Overwatch 1. :(

Just as enjoyable as 2 Year old threads showing up right in the middle of my hot & fresh feed.

I need a mod for my phone my that just makes every icon a picture of some character with their mouth wide open, yelling.

(refer to this reddit post for what I mean)

Calculator? Someone yelling.

Settings? Someone yelling.

Camera app? Believe it or not, someone yelling.
