I’m sure you already downvoted the post, you may move along now.

You do you, boo. I like my Mac and it suits my needs perfectly. The cost difference is a mere drop in the bucket for my org.

Every time I say “Safari”, I get death threats.

Nobody asked. We were talking about g about good search engines, of which Kagi is one.

Love how you’re getting downvoted for suggesting a great search engine which doesn’t require JavaScript. Stay classy, everyone.

Kagi is the real deal, but it costs money. You get what you pay for.

That seriously has to be the worst product I have ever used. I don’t understand how it’s still around.

Well now you don’t have to cook for a couple days. Also, my rule of thumb is that 50% of invitees ever show, and of those only 50% will participate fully (i.e. not leave early, show up really late, have already eaten, etc.). It’s good to have more stuff on hand in the freezer or pantry, in case that equation isn’t exact. Then, you can prep some quickly to meet demand.

Well they could. It’s part of the value proposition.

Kagi offers a safari plugin which intercepts a search request and sends it to Kagi instead. Works great.

Everyone should work food service and retail at least once in their lives. It would give perspective to, and teach respect for, what those workers have to endure.

My experience mirrors yours.

The realization that for most apps, the iPhone version clearly has more effort put into it.

Seeing what an app ghetto the Play store is; they let anything on there and it’s scams galore.

Janky UI, as you said.

The final straw for me, though, was phone calls not ringing on the phone and going straight to VM. This was on a “pure” Google phone using Google Fi. When a phone can’t even act like a phone anymore, I’m out.

At my age, I don’t have time or desire to fiddle with shit constantly. I want it to Just Work.

I’m willing to bet they rushed that announcement out the door without anything remotely close to ready, in order to get on the bandwagon and avoid shareholder ire. Apple is usually above such silliness, I am dissapoint.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Fair, but it does cost them money to send text messages.

And I will keep fucking with them and waste their time and texting fees.

I’ll just leave this here.

I actually designed and produced an Initech mug from cafepress and used it in the office. People thought it was funny but I was dead serious.
