For every new release they hire the best UX designers and developers in order to find ways of make your experience worse.

Would this mean I could finally ditch what’s app and use only Signal?

For windows, yes. For Linux and OSx, 8gb si still ok for most usecase

Incredibile story, thank you for telling us

I use Chris Titus script for this exact same reason

Unfortunately, it’s not like that. The current state of internet services and social media is inherently addictive and problematic, and that’s especially true in formative years.

While education is extremely important, it won’t be enough.

perfect

I’m curious, what do you use it for?

If buying an house was free, you can be sure I would definitely tell that to every fucking anyone.

it’s a good workaround, but not a complete solution

I did the switch some times ago and I love AntennaPod. Still, I did not manage to have synchronization with a desktop service, and I miss that from Google Podcast.

But if you just want to watch YouTube and shop on the Web you definitely don’t need an M3.

An M3 chip with a 8gb RAM is just plain stupid. The problem it’s not the 8gb RAM per sé.

So cool!

You can decide to use something because you like it and have a positive value for you, and then end up abusing that same things because of addiction.

Facebook and other social media actively engineer their service to exploit our natural brain functioning in order to became addictive. On top of that, they also give well designed services which can be useful and fun to use. People decide to use those services because of that and ends up becoming addicted and using them for a lot more time. This has nothing to do with good design.

It’s like with smoking: people can find it a legitimate pleasure because of the taste, the social meanings and the gesture, but you ends up being addicted because of the nicotine, not because it’s a pleasure per-se.

Well designed service and addictive are completely different concept.

Addiction is not about how likely you are to use something and if you like doing so. That’s naïve.

I used to play Stadia a lot, since I did not have the hardware to support high quality gaming. It worked splendidly, it’s a shame they decided to shut it down.

If you have a console or a PC gaming, then of course it’s useless.

That apple feel though. So bad (for me)

The price is absolutely fair, but I just don’t like the subscription model in general.

This is interesting!

I’ll look into it! Thanks!
