op’s post was making the point that a lot of specs of the 2024 iphone 16 were already found on the 2021 sony xperia 1 III. I don’t really care about either, and you could use a lot of different 2021 android phones as a comparison. I don’t even think the comparison is entirely fair, but to ignore the fact that apple is clearly lagging behind android on certain aspects while hiding behind marketing is just misguided. Also, their phones are just overpriced because of price, and the innovation argument is getting old.

I have never agreed more with a stranger on a topic so niche

The sad thing is I knew at the time, but lack of games and, most of all, the lack of my friends having it, made the dreamcast lose in favour of its contenders.

I thought the Dreamcast earned this title

That’s not what you said, you don’t get to lecture me by pretending you said something else.

Anything illegal deserves more yuck than I can count, but expressing your personal taste towards things that are legal and socially accepted (while frown upon) by dismissing a behaviour that you personslly disagree with is… dismissive.

I understand where you’re coming from, but you’re expressing your taste and values in a very dismissive way

That’s the answer, the gnocchi pastas imitate the shape of the potato gnocchi. I also wouldn’t really call potato gnocchi pastas, like if I invite people to eat and say I’m cooking pastas, nobody’s expecting potato gnocchi. But I think in Italy they’re in the same aisle as fresh pastas. The thing is - and op’s picture is correct - that italians actually differenciate between different shapes of pasta, for the simple reason that pasta shapes have functional reasons and different shapes correspond to different dishes.

I know it’s a week-old thread, but I just received the notification on the Instagram app about the subscription and I have a few thoughts. First of all, here it’s actually 12 euros. As a relatively light user - I check Instagram maybe once or twice a day and FB once a week or every two weeks, just to keep in contact with people I don’t text -, that’s a lot of money to give to Meta for those services. I’m all for paying to have content without the tracking and the ads, but not 12 euros unfortunately. Which is, I guess, why they chose such a high price.

I just had to stop and note how great this comment is, I learned more in two sentences than in several articles relying on my attention for money. Thank’s!

At least instant coffee makes sense in an economical way: it saves steps and time. what i don’t get are filter coffee machines, the coffee they make is always horrendous.

one suggestion: pocketcasts

there was an interesting take about that on the wan show (not ms but steam). the emphasis was on steam’s value, which is unknown but actually very high

Trolley buses are great, look them up.

I don’t use windows but I was curious and checked out the website, their proposition looks really interesting

A lot of people have a strong opinions about people they know only from watching every other day. There are obviously issues at ltt, just like in any companies, but attacking them endlessly isn’t helping anyone, nor is blindly defending them. They are human, they can make mistakes, they can correct them, they can be held accountable, and that’s what they seem to be in the process of doing. Things need to change at ltt and it’s a shame it had to come to this, but people anonymously jumping on the bandwagon pointing fingers seem detestable.

I downloaded the app as soon as it came out and I exclusively use Firefox. Are you perhaps logging using your Google account? I don’t know if it could be that.

as a Swiss, it is an issue. our glaciers are metling more and more every year and we rely on hydropower a lot, we need all the rain and water we can get, even if it seems like there is a lot.

It made me think of this video from the rooster teeth podcast, where burnie tells a joke his dad used to tell (and this is the animated version).

I’ve only been on Lemmy for a few weeks but this is the best comment this platform will ever have
