And even if they express disapproval they will vote or not vote in the same manner because the other side is worse or both are bad.

I think working out and eating healthy is a good trend and blood work is happy for it, and don't need some super crazy work out plan to look better.

But the whole cosmetic surgeries and steroids which aren't needed to be healthy is definitely overboard for the regular person who aren't making living off their looks or athletic performance is overboard.

So basically the same outcome as the election. People haven't changed.

Wasn't the shocking thing about trump election results was that he gained votes from non whites so assumptions on racial demographics ended up being unreliable?

In 2016 Hillary Clinton won Hispanic voters by a margin of 38 percentage points, according to exit polls. By 2020 Joe Biden’s margin had shrunk to 33 points. This year early exit polling conducted by CNN suggests that Ms Harris’s margin of victory among Hispanic voters is just eight percentage points—a remarkable collapse if right.

Assumptions about how younger people would vote is also what led to the shocking results

Trump picked up a larger proportion of voters under 30 than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008, according to NBC News exit polling, improving with both young men and young women.

Men still make up the majority of military

the percentage of women serving in uniform has increased slightly from 17.5% in 2022 to 17.7% in 2023. https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4006144/dods-2023-demographics-report-indicates-more-women-fewer-separations/

So question would be are active military members more likely to lean liberal or conservative compared to their demographic?

I got apple devices, but it is more a take or leave it type situation where I wouldn't feel like I'm missing out if I didn't have them. Its just one of those nice options, but not irreplaceable tech to me.

It also probably helps that it is easy to ignore Apple and there might not be a feeling of missing out for those who don't care for the Apple ecosystem. As big as Apple is it is kind of niche in the sense that a Windows or Linux user can just ignore its existence and not feel affected.

But, when it comes to Windows there's lot of mainstream software, games, and even hardware compatibility that is affected by Windows dominance. Stuff like wine and proton being needed and not getting the same video card driver support leads to more resentment Windows actually having offerings people who tend to complain want.

It is a stereotype but Apple diehards seem to go along with whatever Apple pushes, and people who don't like them don't use them anyways. Meanwhile Windows and Linux seems to have more people who are nitpicky about what they use, so group that tends to complain is going to be complaining more loudly about the OS they use would be my guess.

I don't think there is one that has the clean old OnePlus feel. I still liked them until the custom ROM support died out for follow up devices to keep it going beyond the official OS support, since the hardware was solid.

They peaked with the OnePlus 7 pro. Loved the pop up camera to provide a true full screen experience without pinhole or notches. Beautiful design.

These days companies have started removing them after a year, since denuvo went to subscription route over a one time fee.

Yeah duck is all over bothered with since it came out since you don't even need to login to use it.

 

Instead of going to the Android community it goes to /c/all when I try to visit while logged into lemmy.ca. I tried logging out and back in to see if that would solve it.
