I think the general criticism that new models fail to break ground like they used to, but have barely slowed down their release schedule or extended their support, is also a valid one.
But the author barely touches on that before getting distracted by “phones are too big,” which they then come back to a further three times in unrelated paragraphs.
Pub buildings built on the cheap or converted (i.e. single storey, flat roof) are almost always a reliable predictor for terrible beer, aggressive clientele, and a regular light dusting of snow on the bathroom sinks.
I think the meme started with the satirical Viz magazine.

Do I roll for attack or ability to pour a large amount of concrete down both holes?
I feel sorry for the horse, baboons, and dogs, but if they got themselves into this, they should have got themselves out of it.
I’m not on your community, I have absolutely no need to know your community’s rules. Thank you for highlighting the reason this community is named as it is, though.
The ouster of Bob Good and the H1-B visa controversy, I think.
It’s a shame, I think there’s space for a community for gentle and good-natured roasting of Linux – no one has ever run a Linux OS without encountering some pain points (as with all software, to a greater or lesser extent) and shared frustration through comedy can actually be beneficial. It’s definitely true that the Linux community can take itself too seriously sometimes.
That’s not what this is, though, it’s a furious, blinkered, irrational attack. Fuck that noise. More power to the users.
Here’s the Telegraph article in the screenshot, and here’s an archived version of the same page.
The Telegraph has quite an overt right-wing bias, which might not matter much for this subject, but is worth bearing in mind.
Creme eggs have been around for 60-odd years. They’re crazy sweet and not very high-quality – especially after the Kraft acquisition, as it’s not even Cadbury’s Dairy Milk any more.
What you get in the US are smaller and made over there by Hershey, so frankly they’re probably as bad or worse, but you’re not missing out on much.

These seem fair ideas? They’re not paywalling critical functionality and you can’t run a massive social network for free. It’s not the same attitude as the wider Fediverse, and I understand why that rubs people the wrong way, but it’s hardly outrageous.
This is dumb and I love it.
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.

Chill. The graphic wasn’t made for this specific discussion. It’s a widely accepted way to group users of a service. In this case, the bell curve represents the adoption of something other than Twitter by Twitter users, and the driver isn’t “new thing to try” (in as much as neither federated or newer centralized microblogging platforms have much new to offer), it’s the slowly-heating pot of water that the frog is in.
I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but Royal Mail was privatised a decade ago. It was floated on the stock market back in late 2013 (for around £2b, and despite objections from 96% of staff), and the government let go of their 30% stake in 2015. Křetínský was a big shareholder even then.
WhatsApp has channels (public feeds centered around topics, a bit like microblogging), communities (groups about a subject, much like Facebook Groups), and updates (temporal video/photo statuses to share with your friends). You might only use it for DM, but it has much bigger aspirations.
I genuinely enjoyed Night Country until it became clear they weren’t going to answer the questions they raised. I liked the cast well enough, really enjoyed the setting, liked the music (despite the general consensus) and thought the character interplay was fairly good - if sometimes melodramatic.
I went into it confident that the intrigue would be resolved, but it just petered out. It could have been great, but the longer you watch it, the more you feel like they wrote every episode as they went along and painted themselves into a corner.
That’s fair, although I don’t feel it’s changed much for iPhone, past the first few models where the hardware improvements were most dramatic. 2011’s iPhone 4S had five years of major updates supported. The 5S (2013) had six. The iPhone X (2017) is probably on its last major version at seven years. That’s a slow improvement, which still deserves recognition I suppose.
