Technology@beehaw.org•Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships
12·1 month agoTheir software is getting less stable with each release, while the amount of crammed in features is going up.
I agree that you may be having this personal experience. On the other hand, I am not and have been using iOS for many years. The difference could be that I intentionally stay very informed about iOS.
I, personally, will not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
However, if you believe that you will have better experiences using Android, then please make the switch.
Back in 2007 (After many years of making a career out of using Microsoft/Windows products) I started using Linux and MacOS/iOS exclusively and have never looked back.
I have very little experience and/or knowledge of Android. So, I can’t comment on that.

I hope most people here realize that most of our societal problems are a direct result of oligarchs. The 1% that rule over everyone else with their unimaginable wealth.
They are very happy keeping the other 99% fighting amongst themselves while they extract even more wealth.
The fight for American democracy is a fight against oligarchs.
And I’m sure some of us could make the case on a global level as well.

3·2 months agoBut it doesn’t help that I live in a conservative area that doesn’t have many intellectual or techy people. I will probably end up driving to a big city for a once or twice a month meeting.
Soon I will have to be doing the same. It’s a little over an hour drive one way. Do you have any recommendations about how to find an interest group?

Yes they do care…very deeply. My wife was an officer in the US Army and I know many military people (active and inactive). I’ve never heard one peep about going against the US constitution.

103·2 months agoPeople in the military are conditioned to obey orders without question.
No. They all take an oath to uphold the US constitution. The entire US military will not act unlawfully nor break their oaths. It’s not going to happen.
And no one in this thread has explained, precisely, how this coup would be carried out.

214·2 months agoAfter Hegseth and Trump ended their speeches to the top military leaders there was NO cheering NOR clapping. That was a crystal clear signal to those two asshats that our military will not act unlawfully nor will they break their oaths to the constitution. So, who is going to carry out this coup? USA is freaking enormous. There isn’t a willing force large enough to carry this out.
