This is good news for bot farms working to sow division.

I don’t mind that other users have this option. I’m not worried about them. It’s all the expected shenanigans of the companies that’ll remove their apps from the store I don’t much like.

Nah, they should keep that stuff on Android. I like that I only have one app store. I used custom roms, weird alternative app stores and all that stuff for years on Android, but I like that iOS is built on a different philosophy.

Also, I just realized today that if EU forces Apple to open iOS to more stores, shouldn’t they force MS and Sony to do the same for Xbox and Playstation?

I’m using Voyager browse and interact with Lemmy. It looks more or less exactly like Apollo and it’s a webapp. There’s a few small things that’s not exactly as a native app, like double tapping the top of a scrolling window to scroll to top, but it’s really minor. I bet most people wouldn’t know it was a webapp if they weren’t told.

It even works with the sharing intent so I can share to native apps. Pretty awesome.

Sure, but if we just didn’t do stuff because it’s hard, then we’d never chosen to go to the moon. That guy on TV said so.

We might not do stuff because it’s an awful and downright terrible idea, but both looking at humanity as whole and my own personal experience, that doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent either.

Yeah, why should such a thing be regulated?

We all probably still remember the East Palestine accident, but all that turned alright in the end didn’t it?

Yeah it makes total sense. It’s a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.

It’s like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.

Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.

Musk’s posts go to everyone I’m pretty sure. Many people unfollowed him and he didn’t like that, so now you get his excretes whether you want to or not.

Stupid headlines like this, are making us collectively dumber.

I expect you’re kidding, because it’s hard to believe someone made it onto Lemmy without knowing this, but here goes anyway:

They never said “don’t decrypt client side”.

Lots of things you probably use every day is end-to-end encryption.

HTTPS in your browser uses TLS to ensure that the content you receive is encrypted on its way to you and that it hasn’t been tampered with on the way (confidentiality and integrity).

What if push messages doesn’t happen on your phone but is somehow “pushed” from somewhere else?

Netflix was in competition with piracy. They competed mostly on two parameters: price and convenience, but catalog is also a secondary or tertiary parameter.

Piracy is kinda free unless you pay for newsgroups, seedbox or straight up membership. It’s also inconvenient for most people. The catalog is basically unlimited if you know where to look.

Paid streaming or digital purchases wins on convenience, but at a greater price and with a limited catalog.

With older content constantly being bounced around different services, aggressive anti-shsring measures and continually rising prices, paid streaming is becoming less and less attractive, as we’re slowly sliding back to the times of cable TV, albeit video on-demand this time around.

“prayer warrior” is one of my favorite concepts. Those two words are just so comically incompatible.

They will make up stories that ultra sounds scans is a nefarious way of vaccinating you without consent and consequently refusing to go to important checkups.

They’re incredibly predictable. Just pretend to barely understand the subject matter, then invent the most alarmist way of misunderstanding it.

It’s a grown up Noogler.

Effigy, eh? Yeah, nothing burns like an effigy.

Radar. Only a small handful of cars have LIDAR. But your point still stands. Outside of Elon being a humongous douche and completely unpredictable, the lack of sensors is the major reason for not wanting a Tesla.

It’ll never be truly equal as long as there’s a fixed order of the letters. The only way to make it fair is to include all the letters (from every writing system, not just the latin because that feels overly eurocentric) and the guarantee true randomness of the order or come up with some system where the order is shifted by one every time it’s mentioned. Also, the original letters must be in the center to begin with (to make them equally distant for RTL or LTR readers), to make up for their historical over exposure.

Because another connector has been stubbornly used for years and there’s a whole ecosystem of cables and peripherals made for that, now outdated, connector.

I don’t think anyone can say in good faith this isn’t a pretty big deal.

Or maybe India still has some people who can be retrained from their profession of phone scammer to cheap VFX artists?
