Things are a lot better now that the EU forced apple’s hand in implementing RCS, at least.
I haven’t forgotten the fact that at the apple event announcing iMessage they claimed it would come to other platforms at a later date. That was before they realized what a strong moat it was. For how much they claim to put the user first, they really only do so when it benefits their bottom line or they’re forced to by regulators. Fingers crossed third party app stores come to more places than just the EU and Japan.
The issue with the second one was their failure to notify users about the throttling. It is a decent solution for an end of life battery to throttle the device to prevent crashes.
The UI lead just left the company within the last couple of months. Reports are the staff is overjoyed at that news. A lot of turnover in their leadership this past year, actually. Feels like this may be a new chapter coming up for the company. Rumor is Tim Apple may retire next year.
There were about 8 million NSDAP members at its peak. About 200 were tried at Nuremberg. Tens of thousands of other party members were simply fined or lost their bureaucratic jobs.
I was trying to convey this to my mom several years ago as she was trying to wrap her mind around trans people and how some use the pronouns they/them. She couldn’t believe me when I said it was already a grammatical convention to use they as a singular pronoun. I remember saying “imagine finding someone left a black coat in a movie theatre and you find it. You could say when you leave it at the lost and found, ‘I hope they come back to get their coat’, as you don’t know the gender of who it belongs to.” I was very confident that would get through to her. Nope, she insisted she would say “I hope he or she gets their coat!”
Some people just dig their heels in when they’re wrong.
That statement has as much empirical evidence behind it as stating that depression is caused by the lost souls of dead aliens from an ancient federation killed by an evil overlord being stuck to your person and generating negative thoughts as a result of their traumatic death.
Hitchen’s Razor is your ally; what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
Tell your mom some random on the internet told her she can eat a bag of dicks.
Say no more, I get in the mood from time to time myself.
In case you don’t already know, you can also perform a personal instance block in your profile. Fair play if you want a new account, but figured I’d call out that option out there for you as well.
A Cryptofascist is a fascist that is hiding the fact that they’re a fascist. Definitely a thing that happens, generally in order to slowly win people over to their line of fascist thinking before they feel comfortable taking off their mask. Other times they just do it to sealion or other types of bad faith bullshit.
In this context it’s just a way for tankies to accuse people they’re mad at of being nazis without any credible evidence. They’re just pissy that piefed is off doing its own thing and undermining the work of the transphobic authcom Lemmy devs.
I can see why those go together.
