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.

3·2 months agoI hope you haven’t taken my use of all caps the wrong way (Internet yelling). I rarely ever do that and I was yelling to express my anger toward an oligarch. I was not yelling at you. I hope you are having a good weekend.

4·2 months agoI skimmed this article purposefully because I know that his opinion of the academic studies of Revelation is grossly in error. More than likely, because he is an oligarch, he has alternative motives in our society.
All of that being said, I do NOT trust one fucking word that comes out of his mouth.
AND I DON’T FUCKING CARE ABOUT SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE COMMON PEOPLE.

I agree. I grew up using hard copy encyclopedias at libraries. It is incredible now to have all of this at our fingertips at home.
Can you give an example of an article with an error that you tried to correct?
This was 6 years ago so I cannot recall precisely which pages. However, I just skimmed over about 15 pages that I thought would be riddled with errors. To my surprise, I only found one instance where there was a ‘citation needed’ mark and could find no major errors…maybe a few little splitting hairs examples but nothing serious.
So, it appears that improvements have been made over the past 6 years. On the other hand, I only looked over roughly 15 pages.
Probably the same caution would be true for any encyclopedia. Namely, these can be pretty good starting points but not for serious scholarly research.
My self and others in this field tried for about 6 months to no avail. We gave up…they didn’t want to hear it.

















IMO, it was just a matter of time before something like this happened. I wonder what incredible horseshit MAGA will respond with.
