The point is that everyone wants to fuck everyone, but they are the victim because everyone else wants to fuck them. It’s greed from all angles, plain and simple.

Not really, no. If you’re buying a house for yourself and after that you want to buy a bigger or smaller house, it’d be very dumb to sell waaaay under market when no one else will do that for you in return. You’d be either unable to find a home you can afford or you’d have to spend all of the money from a big house to buy a small apartment.

I think you have a lot of resentment built up and that’s bad for both objectivity and your own health.

It’s not my fault that granny was banking on screwing over the millenials to trade up to a beachfront property in the keys

You’re getting worked up over a fictional person that owns a fictional house and wants to sell it for a fictional price. On top of that, you’re making up a lot of details to get even more upset. Relax dude.

Inflation is a thing that exists. Saying that someone is bad simply because they want to update the value of their property is dumb. Also, let’s say granny wants to downisze. Should she sell her home for a value way below market and then be unable to buy a smaller home for herself?

I just looked it up on ebay and found quite a few sellers that had touchpad replacements so I’m not sure what you’re talking about…

There are tons and tons of websites where you can create an account with just your email. I wouldn’t expect a third party account to be mandatory. Specially from a product like this one.

Maybe this is a pet peeve but it’s a vpn tool that forces you to log in with an “identity provider”. Yeah, no thanks.

You’re missing the forest for the trees, but ok.

Except that something being profitable doesn’t make it any more or less embarrasing. e.g. Landlords make lots of money yet we all hate them.

In what sense? I haven’t seen that one.

That may be true from your perspective but it was not my intention. If you make a small effort, you might see that you too can misunderstand someone else’s words.

what was the purpose of your statement?

To point out (what I thought was) a needlessly condescending response.

Your statement lacked context.

It did not. I think it was quite clear how I interpreted the comment I replied to. I mean, you got it. Even if you disagreed.

I rely more heavily on context to fill in the gaps in my knowledge

Again, I was not lacking context. Having “context” doesn’t mean that a sentence does not negate the fact that a sentence can still be ambiguous. I think this is perfectly exemplified in this thread.

My point stands. People are way too eager to be aggressive/mock other people when they get the chance instead of considering that the other person might A) just have a different opinion or B) they misunderstood something. When I first started using Lemmy this did not happen so it’s a shame that it seems to be attracting the same crowd that made virtual interaction so unappealing in Reddit.

I really don’t see how “lol” would mean that in this context but ok. Even with the context to me I was more like “idc” or “this isn’t important”. I mean, if they wanted to say “whoops”, they could’ve said “whoops”.

Could I be the one that misinterpreted what they intended to say? Of course, I’m not a native speaker and (being the human that I am) I can make mistakes. However, the general response seems to be more aggressive than communicative, which is one of the reasons why I started to really dislike Reddit and the interactions on that platform.

implying some form of wrongdoing?

Well, it kind of is. It basically equates to saying “whatever” or “who cares” when I’m pretty sure the author of the comic would care. They could’ve just said “my bad, just fixed it” and that’s it. But no, they made the conscious effort to communicate that, even though they fixed it, they don’t really care about it. Which is, in my opinion, kind of a condescending/patronizing/childish/petty/douchey/whateveryouwanttocallit thing to do.

But hey, fuck me, right?

Not really, just that they could have omitted the “lol” to sound a bit less douchey.

“Lol”

For a moment there I thought you were talking about PC.

There’s no joke. People seem to enjoy feeling either superior or outraged or both and the name of the game is user engagement. That’s how you end up with this type of thing.

I was similarly disappointed. This kind of humor isn’t funny at all. It’s just a made up scenario to trigger people. I can’t prove that it’s b8 but, if it’s not, it’s damn close.

I’ve also had to replace phones for broken USB ports which in the grand scale is probably more wasteful than the extra power use.

On one hand, yes, your port can break at some point. On the other, why would you throw away the whole phone if the usb port can be replaced? Going even further, you could always use your usb port for charging until it breaks and after that you could start using wireless charging. For data transfer there are plenty of apps and ways to wirelessly transfer data so that wouldn’t be a problem either. At the end of the day, you’re barely using your usb port and you’re also wasting twice as much (or more) energy that you would if you used a wired charger.

Wired turbo chargers are bad as well. However, although I don’t know about iOS, Android lets you plan your charge cycle. That makes my phone take about 8 hours to charge while I’m asleep.

Or you could just not use a fast charger and not worry about that. Either way, you’re moving the goalpost. Not all phones support fast charging and not everyone has a fast charger. I’d wager most people charge their phones with lower power (15/20w more or less).

I’d be interested to see how you measure that. It’s also not really a matter of opinion. Even though you may not notice a wild difference, your battery did degrade more than it would’ve, if you’d used a wired charger.

Also, the inefficiency is bad enough for me to rule it out. You literally waste at least twice as much power compared to a wired charger (source). Although we’re not talking about a crazy amount of power, it’s pretty selfish to waste it just because you don’t want to plug in a charger.
