  • Probably better this economic violence than I dunno, the physical violence Russia has exerted on the Ukrainian populace?

  • That’s definitely part of it, but I think a bigger contributor is iMessage. iPhones have a dominant market share in the US and iMessage has been the gold standard for a long time and it doesn’t even use the SMS system.

  • It’s like with email addresses, you can have the same email address as someone else as long as you have different servers, like @gmail.com or @yahoo.com. So this one is Selhosted@lemmy.world I believe, and it’s the largest on Lenny I believe.

  • What has to be fixed for me to use it in production is the apps connection to the back end to not break every time it’s updated. Because on iOS app updates are forced, but the server I update less frequently and if they’re not the same version the app doesn’t work.

  • I mean, you’re whining, but they aren’t.

  • The only crypto self hosted has really relates to their show donations. They really don’t talk much about crypto at all. I think mostly because unlike the other shows, Alex is the dominant personality on self hosted and Chris despite being goofy is relegated more to side kick.

  • I think you’re thinking of one of their Linux podcasts.

  • It’s not whining, it’s calling having legitimate complaints about a product in decline.

  • Lmao

  • Waiting until they are a teenager is far too late to form the appropriate habits around self limiting screen time.

    Given that smartphones didn’t even exist until I was a teenager, going to go ahead and call bullshit on that.

    this is clearly a parenting issue

    Sure is. Too many parents handing their developing children smartphones long before they should. Luckily OP hasn’t made that mistake.

    And nobody needs articles to tell them the corporations and algorithms are evil. Some of us are old enough to have lived through the advent of them.

  • Cool. Other people are perfectly justified to though.

  • I mean you say that as a joke but cigars you don’t usually inhale into your lungs. Like you’re still at risk of mouth cancer, but if you switched from Cigarettes to cigars, you wouldn’t suffer the myriad of negative health effects that comes with being a cigarette smoker which would objectively be a huge improvement.

  • I’m pretty sure the goal behind the no phone rule is not that utilizing a phone is inherently bad, but that you’re trying to avoid building the habits and behavior that comes with having a smart phone on you, like doom scrolling, constant social media access, constant distraction etc. And in that case, the kid having some limited access to other kids phones (If they even do. Who among any of us just lets someone else use our phone unrestricted) isn’t going to undermine that effort.

  • To those what? Those are the American companies behind the services, the actual list of services and products those companies provide would take awhile to list out. Then each one of those products or services is going to have 1-3 alternatives at least. If you want some alternatives you’re going to have to narrow down your question, because like the guy you originally replied to said, there are a LOT of them. If you want a teaser, you’re making these comments on an alternative to one of the products of these companies right now.

  • Other than three of the largest tech companies in the world that encompass services from social media to maps to email?

    Well there’s X, Amazon, Reddit, Microsoft, Oracle, Broadcom, Salesforce, Intuit, Cisco, Palo Alto, Ubiquiti, and CloudFlare. There’s a total of 15 examples, not counting subsidiaries of these companies, nor breaking them down by product like YouTube, Gmail, Twitch, Maps, Azure, AWS, VMWare, etc.

  • I read scifi books and enjoy reading about the lore of the tech industry.

    If it’s any consolation, we’re kinda heading into the futuristic dystopian tech hellscape portrayed by so much sci fi. So that’s fun.

  • There was the time that users started receiving emails from Plex telling them about other users and the shows they’ve been watching on their personal server, without permission. Spooked the hell out of me. There was allegedly a pop up that explained this new “feature” that was supposed to function as an opt-in. Problem was it worked more like an opt-out, as many of us never received the pop up, and weren’t even aware of the feature until people reached out to us to let us know Plex was sending them Emails about our library content.

  • Yeah but you could pay for Emby and not deal with all the bloat and removed features and such. Or use Jellyfin for free and have the same experience. Plex’s value proposition is shrinking by the day.
