Just tippy-tappin’ my way across the internet.
Wait til they find out I’m happy to pay nothing and still get the same content (often with less hassle).
All these streaming services seem to have forgotten that piracy is incredibly easy and a lot of use chose to use their services because they were originally convenient and affordable. Now that they’re more fractured than ever and way more expensive, why would I bother?
Good to know. I’m sure I’ll forget by the next time I need to do this, but nice to know it’s an option.
I still don’t get what the compelling use for these is supposed to be. There’s nothing they’ve shown so far that doesn’t seem more awkward and intrusive than it is beneficial, unless maybe if you exist in true isolation at work and at home.
MacOS — making me go into system settings to allow an app to install that I’ve initiated. I know where the app comes from, I just downloaded it, why do I have to tell my own computer I trust myself to not be an idiot?
iPadOS — multitasking. I know that things are better than they used to be but it’s still a clunky experience to use multiple windows or flip back and forth between them unless you use a keyboard (at which point why wouldn’t I just use a laptop?)
iOS — not a lot these days. I’d still like to be able to customise my Home Screen layouts more, and shortcuts are still pretty unreliable, but I’m largely happy with iOS itself.
watchOS — better customisation for the widgets section. Let me have multiple complication/shortcut blocks, let me organise widgets more easily, etc. More watch faces would be nice too. A lot of the ones that are available are pretty ugly.
There are high-schoolers alive today (maybe even in this thread) who were born after Apple stopped charging for updates. Maybe it’s time to get some new jokes.
So basically anything that not the extreme east or west or south becomes midweast?
I lived in the States for five years and I still don’t really get what Americans mean when they say the midwest. I guess that’s partly because Americans also don’t know, so you never get the same explanation twice.
I pray this bumbling moron actually does it.
Edit: spelling. Apparently I’m a bumbling moron too.
A problem with a blockchain-related grift? I’m utterly shocked!!!
Because they built the platform. It’s not a public good (or a town square) — the company foots the bill so they get to decide what they do and don’t want people to use it for.
I mean, it is a private company and they can do what they want. It’s a shitty and childish thing that Musk is choosing to do but it’s his $44B dumpster fire to fuel as he pleases.
Advocating for free speech rights for a private American company to be beholden to is stupid because it misunderstands everything about free speech laws work and how companies and content moderation work.
The people who think Elon brought free speech to Twitter tend to also be the people who think free speech starts and ends at your right to use slurs without social consequences.
Unless that’s more than they made with their misleading pricing, that’s not really a punishment. Fines for companies need to be bigger or they’re not really deterred from shady behaviour.
America’s whole tipping thing is a nightmare. Just make companies pay employees properly and if they can’t, maybe they shouldn’t be a business.
On the off chance that this isn’t just a troll post, what were you hoping to do that you couldn’t figure out? Macs are incredibly flexible and capable computers that do waaaay more than iOS devices are capable of. The OS and hardware obviously still have their limits, but if you’re running into actual limitations then you’ve likely already far exceeded what your phone can do.
My guess would be that once we start hitting walls with USB C, there’ll likely be a consortium or group of companies that come together to propose a new standard and propose/lobby for govts to add update the existing laws with that as another option of connector.
More difficult for companies than just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, but overall less of a shitty experience for consumers.
Ah, gotcha. I don’t think it would be that hard to change to new connectors. Now that laws are coming in, they can simply update those laws when it’s time for a new standard. USB C still has many years of headroom left, and the benefits of standardising connectors vastly outweigh the problems (at least in my opinion).
Sure, and I’m going to guess they probably did that here. I doubt this is going to cause that much frustration, it’s still a big red button that’s easy to see.
Huh?
And so no buttons should ever be allowed to move? That would be insane.
Often times, yes. I don’t want to always have to have a USB key on me, but I always have access to MFA apps via my phone, watch, or laptop. I have no idea why you’re typing the code out instead of copying and pasting.
