@halva heck
it's hard enough to walk folks on the apple side through using it assuming they don't already..

@halva oh!
and yeah, that's really stupid!
as i say, it's a pretty simple protocol, like apple devices have been able to do it for like the past fifteen years if not longer, not like it needs special hardware support

better than nothing i guess, but it makes the feature doa (probably why they're doing it like this.. :/)
nobody except the techiest tech nerds on the android side are gonna touch it

@halva whaa
that was like a staple for the longest time, like it was why you chose an apple device way back when
and like even then it gets used between macos and ios all the time

what're they thinkin

@Paradox yeah.. i was being very cynical
admittedly the original post was written with an argument from someone that jumped down my throat to defend valve in mind
acting like gabe newell is valve
ripping me apart because i expressed a criticism of that controller screaming easter egg

i suppose the thing to get across is that businesses are really an idea.. not a physical entity capable of doing anything, really a way of grouping folks under that idea
folks within those groups can totally use the idea to do lots of good, and often do! but with that comes those that want to use the idea for selfish means, make number go up
and those selfish folks, they tend to do so quietly, riding on the achievements of those that want to make things better :/

emotions running a bit high really didn't help my choice of words initially.. ^^'

remember, companies are not your friends
they exist solely to make number go up
and they will do that by any means necessary
yes, even valve

if they happen to make folks' lives better, it's a coincidence, not an end goal

@Paradox i do actually carry earbuds for me just about everywhere in case things get too loud or i want some music ^^'
haven't actually got the level of self confidence to really pull a move like that off

more of a fun hypothetical to pass some time based on something that happened (the bus driver asking a rider to turn down their media)

rereading it i can see how it might've come off a bit dickish and a tone indicator would've been appropriate there :)

oh they totally do
now if only my aversion to creating ewaste wasn't stronger than my annoyance at loud phone users on busses..

i wonder if they make airplane earbuds with usb-c plugs
start handing them out to noisy folks on busses, as a bit
