It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.
Anything requiring a smartphone app to use should be an instant non-starter for everyone.
The problem is that there are usually no other alternatives, or at least not any easily accessible. Heck, these days even routers require app activation for no reason other than to be shitty.
There should be a law against this. All hardware requiring an app should also have an open API.
There are more often than not alternatives that exist that don’t have this requirement.
I’ve probably been unlucky with the ones sold at my nearest electronics store.
How did you post this comment?
Were you using an app?
Edit: humour is lost on the humourless
There isn’t one app to post to Lemmy, there’s a dozen. And they’re open source mostly. And there’s a web page. And you can self-host a fediverse node. And ActivityPub is an open standard. And and and.
Now if this was Reddit, you might be closer to the mark.
And how did you post this comment was a via an app?
Whoosh
You mis woosh’d there.
Way way off the mark buddy
This is getting funnier
I willed it into existence.
At least you got the joke.
Comedy is hard.
He posted it from his shoe tying app
Please refer to the context when interpreting what others say dammit. Your questions stink “ackshyually lol lmao” from a distance.
The OP is talking about sneakers unnecessarily requiring an “app”; in this context, Farts’ “anything” should be interpreted as “physical goods” (like sneakers), not “internet services that may be accessed through a browser or specialised software” (like Lemmy).
I’m sorry oh mighty one.
I’ll go and enjoy the pun over here while you try to figure out if what I wrote was intentionally funny or accidentally funny, or funny at all. Social ques are hard aren’t they.
Cut off the crap.
“Ackshyually I was totally joking! Yeah, it was a joke! You’re just too stupid to get the clue” doesn’t work if there’s no clue that it’s a joke on first place, no matter if you rephrase it with Reddit style passive aggressiveness.
Please do everyone in Lemmy a favour and stay in Reddit. You’ll be in more suitable company.
Sorry didn’t realise you needed me to include the /s
You might have intended it to be funny, but it wasn’t, as it is clear from the downvotes. So instead of trying to convince everybody in multiple desperate comments that they are wrong, maybe just move on.
Ya a little late to the game buddy. Convo is a day old at this point.
But thanks for trying
