  • There’s loads of people who prefer iPhone and would sideload if allowed but it’s not a deal-breaker. I prefer iOS and Apple hardware but refuse to buy one without sideloading.

    My S24 Ultra is arriving tomorrow, but I’ll likely be buying the iPhone 16 if it comes with sideloading.

    So Apple is gaining a customer, I’ve been eyeing the MacBooks too ever since the M1 came out so might end up pulling the trigger on one of those as well.


  • Holy cow, is that a thing?!

    Some stuff in the US is pretty cool and money is nice and all, but then I have friends in senior positions within big tech who have only 12 days of paid time off which is real shitty.

    At least they can work remotely for a few days so they get a couple of decent holidays, but that just means they can never fully disconnect.

    And they can just use the healthcare system here when they’re back, which is nice for them but I’m sure not everyone has that luxury.


  • I’m not sure how they got to that conclusion, but we can kinda guess.

    The tongue is PACKED with blood vessels, so in case of any damage it can get tons of nutrients to fix itself. But this takes a very energy-intensive.

    So if the rest of the body would have the same density of blood vessels, we’d need drastically more energy to feed all of that.

    And I guess they’re asserting that all else being the same we wouldn’t be able to ingest or process sufficient food to keep that going.

    It’s a bit of a strange argument though, I’m going far outside of my physiology understanding, but you’d have to imagine that had we evolved such advanced healing capabilities, we’d have also evolved the means to feed them. And OP underestimates just how much food someone can eat. As someone dealing with an ED, I can tell you that you can easily triple your calorie intake (though whether that’s sufficient I wouldn’t be able to say…).

    All in I’d look forward to OP defending their assertion.
