I wouldn't be surprised if the unsaid part is that they're focused more on productivity apps than social apps, but I could be wrong. Also wouldn't be surprised if Instagram doesn't care about getting downranked, given its brand and market awareness somewhat transcends the need to appear in top-apps lists.

That's what he said.

It does, yeah, but not giving it to you is part of how they've sold so many iPads. Think of how many parents and couples would be happy with one shared multi-user iPad instead of having to buy one for each user.

Apart from Disabled, I tried each of these and didn't get a picker with an overflow menu. Disabled is the only one that allowed me to get to the system media picker.

I prefer my Tab S8 over my 2019 iPad Pro, because all I use my tablet for is editing photos and watching media — but because it has user profiles, I can also share it with my young kids and control their app and content access, etc. So, Android is a very easy win for me in that regard.

I love Firefox, but I can't live without Chrome's tab grouping. I just don't understand why Mozilla don't add this to Firefox.

Oh I'm happy to admit I have no idea how they'd do it. I thought perhaps they could make the phone wider, like the Pixel Fold, and that might free up some room on the outer edge (i.e. not near the hinge). But I guess it'd also need to be a very thin stylus, since each panel of the Fold is thinner than an S23U. 🤷‍♂️

Man. I had no idea LocalSend existed. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I'd been using Snapdrop on and off, but it was pretty unreliable.

I use MacOS, so this shit has never been as simple for me as it should be!

This reminds me of how glad I am that so few people in my life use whatsapp. It's improved over the last few years, but I still find it an ugly and frustrating platform.

Hahaha, this is me. Nailed it.

An Ultra, you mean. 😉

But yep, I went from an S21 Ultra with no stylus, to the S23 Ultra with siloed stylus, and it's wild how much use I get out of the stylus. Absolute dream phone.

Well, sure, that's a cynical but also accurate description of the difference. The other, on a plaintiff level, is that they might be happy to turn a blind eye to student activity in the interests of 'helping' society in that way – whereas a for-profit company can and should be paying for anything they're directly profiting from.

Obviously, under law, a student should also have to pay. I'm merely saying that an IP owner might choose to let it slide. So, y'know, that's a difference too. If a more idealistic one. :)
