That exact model was kinda common here in Sweden too (along with the countries of others who replied).
I don't think I've seen it since then and the nostalgia hit me like a brick. I distinctly remember how rubbery and mushy the buttons were, in a weirdly good way.
This whole thread is just Americans saying things that they don't have that is common elsewhere. And that isn't answering the question at all.
It's the ever present thing of 'Murican idiocy thinking only about the US and acting like anything else doesn't exist.
I edited my comment before seeing your reply. That edit works as an answer to your reply. You should learn to know when you have nothing of value to say about something. I don't make posts about football because I know that I have less than basic knowledge about it (and also don't wish to have more) for example, the same goes for you here.
This is me, both the dad and the baby. Sometimes either, sometimes both at the same time. And almost never knowing beforehand which I'll end up as at the end.
I seriously don't understand how that's a positive. RIF always looked and felt like it was badly designed on purpose. Like some shitty thing from the early 2000s. But seeing the shit people do with theming on their phones and other stuff it's weirdly not surprising, still doesn't make sense. It's actually vile looking.
It's not smooth at all, IMO. Lots of visual annoyances which makes it feel stuttery and just bad. Been a Sync user for years and going from that to any other app is just a bad experience...
I try all lemmy apps I come across and they either just look bad, no matter how much I change settings or they lack several major things that I just won't be without.
None has come close to feeling like a replacement yet, and it really sucks that it seems Sync is actually dead now.
This post kinda implies that OP thinks the default is that blockbusters have more soul and hits people harder than indie and passion projects, which is the opposite of the truth.
Art made by fewer people generally has more soul and a stronger personality which translates to feelings by the person experiencing the art. They aren't put through a grinder of corporate bullshit to not be offensive or say anything of actual value.
It's funny BECAUSE it shows how stupid they are... this is almost toddler-level comedy basics.
It's stupid, disturbing and fucked up, but also funny. Funny doesn't mean it can't be anything else, it's not an exclusive thing. Many things that are bad, wrong, disturbing etc. are also funny.
I have tech of all kinds in my dreams, including smartphones, and that's clearly not rare since there are always many comments saying so every time this gets posted.
I'm the opposite, I generally don't mention it because I know that I won't be able to keep myself from talking too much about it. If it's someone who's at my place and they ask what I'm using or I just see them looking confused about what's going on when I'm using it I'll gladly show them but never do the whole speech thing about why and why they should too etc.
