Not their choice, but "Homosexuality is a choice".

To use a really dumb argument I've heard before.

I'm fairly certain he's against it due to his upbringing and never bothering to question his "beliefs" on the topic.

"Homosexuality is weird and wrong" (and it makes me doubt my own sexuality and masculinity) is probably the only driver behind it.

My elderly father would probably catch on fire if he steps into a church. But he shares basically all social values with hardcore Christians.

You can be a non believer, that was raised in a certain belief system and as such share their shitty values. I would imagine this is much more common with older atheists/agnostics/don't-care-about-religion,-only-myselfionists

I mean.. Buy a 50usd tablet to read pdf's and do some casual browsing. Steam decks are made for gaming.

I don't understand some people :)

My work uses mifare cards if I recall it correctly. Using a simple nfc emulator app on a rooted phone, I could just clone the card instantly and use my phone to enter anywhere the card could.

This had obvious big security repercussions. Someone with bad intentions could just walk past you and copy the card. So they added personalized pin codes to all cards, every poor sod in the company now has to touch their badge + give in a pincode for you pretty much all doors. They are currently in the progress of renewing the entire security system to upgrade the security of the cards. (at great cost :))

So depending on the type of card used, it might be possible. I've tried it with many different security cards, it only worked with the one from my company. So it really depends on the type of card used.

I think it was this app, but I'm not 100% positive. Haven't rooted my new phone due to other security reasons, so I haven't tinkered with it lately.

Pretty sure it'll be the latest God of war when it finally releases for PC somewhere next year?

Yeah, I know this gestures, they're not the same...

iPhone users always tell me about those. They have never used the superior android implementation for any real stretch of time and don't know what they're missing tbh...

iOS does a lot right. Navigating the OS itself is not one of them though imo.

I cannot handle the lack of a unified control scheme and app logic in iOS. I don't understand how all apple users just ignore that.

In android back is back. In every single app. It always does what you expect. It goes back.

I iOS sometimes it goes back, sometimes it goes up. Sometimes it's on the bottom, sometimes it's on the upper top left (why the actual f would you place it there...), sometimes it's wherever. It depends on the apps it seems?

App settings are sometimes in the apps themselves and sometimes buried twenty menus deep in the phone settings menu. Where is the logic in that?

Those two points alone hold me back from using an iPhone or iPad. (there's others, but I could live with those). It's frustratingly complex to use compared to the relative simplicity of an Android.

I mean... Are you panicking over a mail? I'm missing something...
