    I have both, and the iOS integration of basic features is insanely good. That’s the main difference. Passwords are seamless; I’ll get a verification code in a text message or an email and it’ll auto populate and then delete the message. There are so many features that connect your phone to your “ecosystem,” I mean wirelessly extending a screen to an iPad (with zero setup), or having your phone automatically act as a webcam — fucking weirdly easy. Android is the opposite. You need an app to do anything and it will require setup and it won’t work every time. Convenience is what matters. Bootloaders and codecs are not as important as whether my earbuds connect instantly and 100% of the time. A phone should make my life simpler. Etc.




  • Most people don’t care about what’s true, something that took me forever to realize. Encountering humanity under the assumption that everyone cares about the truth (or any aspect of empirical and normative reality) is bound to be suuuper confusing until you figure things out. People are literally animals (we forget that), and animals are just trying to survive. Some of them are cute or loving. Not all of them are particularly “good,” and even fewer are willing to sacrifice creature comforts in pursuit of some abstract virtues. That’s why Trump gets any votes.
