Apple
  • If you're an iOS user, you've never been on the other side and experienced the sheer frustration of just trying to communicate or exchange simple things, like pictures or audio clips. Want high res? Nope, Apple devices still downgrade images to resolutions that were bare minimum compatibility for feature phones over a decade ago and the Android recipient gets the terrible quality image. Video of your kid your mother recorded? Forget it, it's been reduced to potato quality that, again, is compatible with feature phones from eons ago and sent to the Android user with the latest flagship. Exchange an audio clip you recorded? That recording is transcoded to a garbled mess and sent to the Android user. The only way to get quality is to switch to some other communication platform such as Signal. That shouldn't be the case in 2024.

  • Approximately happy ending

  • Many veterinarians in Canada are facing extreme burnout and declining mental health
  • My partner is a vet tech and prior to that worked in an animal shelter. She recently left her vet tech position because of the stress, burnout and some toxic behavior by the humans and colleagues. Part of the issue is the cultural and legal perception that an animal is property with the entanglement of the entitlement people have that the "do whatever you can to preserve life" oath extends to doing things for free. Between these two, people think they're entitled to have veterinary care for their animals, but fail to understand that the care is expensive and when faced with it, their mental thought process quickly switches to assessments about the value of their animal. It's pretty sad.

  • Literally
  • This is actually pretty funny. As a thumbnail you can see it, but full res it's a little harder to pick out.
