There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it’s complete non-issue.

They’re not more or less in the way just because they’re electric.

I’ve never understood the hate for them. Sure people leave them in annoying places and inconsiderate with them but that’s not the scooters fault. Also it’s a very easy problem to solve if authorities could be bothered, if a scooter is found in the way then fine the last person to use it.

I don’t think anyone understands what he means, least of all himself.

Also he needs to Google “straw man”.

It always reminds me of North Korea, or China. No matter what else you do, you must be seen to believe in the right thing or else you are some kind of evil deviant.

What the religion or belief system is actually is is about is almost irrelevant. The important thing is to believe, understanding it is entirely not required and almost frowned upon.

I don’t experience this and I’ve never heard anyone else claim to experience it you positive that you’re forced quitting the app?

Yeah, because it was needed for PWAs to be viable.

There is no problem if you don’t just press random buttons without reading the dialog box. Like OP clearly did.

Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don’t understand.

Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.

There’s only a certain number of people in the world, and only a subset of them have easy access to the internet, and only a subset of them have disposable income.

Yet infinite profits are the expectation somehow.

Well they do, because of the reason that was just given.

I have a lamp and that has an LED that is on all the time.

Why would a lamp have a permanently on LED? That’s what I get for getting cheap crap from China, rather than premium crap from China.

I still don’t understand why Nintendo don’t make an official Game Boy emulator and then sell all the old games. I was a little bit too young for Zelda, and by the time I was old enough to really play it we’ve moved on to other platforms so I feel like there’s a gap in my cultural knowledge that needs to be filled.

No because they’re only doing this for Instagram users who are located in the United States. It hasn’t launched anywhere else yet.

Probably because it will be quite illegal in Europe so they probably are not going to do it for European users but it hasn’t launched there yet anyway so we don’t know.

The rule of GDPR is €10,000 or 5% of annual gross earnings (not net) per incident, whichever is greater.

Even the likes of Meta don’t want to deal with that kind of fine hence why Threads has not been released in the EU.

So it is totally achievable, the problem is the US government don’t actually want to fix the problem because of lobbying.

Setting things up on fediverse is overly complicated and could be made easier.

The biggest problem is it really isn’t all that clear what the pros and cons are various instances are, and the truth is that for the most part with the exception of a few particular instances it really doesn’t matter.

What might make the most sense is to have a website people can sign up on and then it just registers their account on one of a few instances to spread the load. Obviously that list I would have to be curated so it didn’t include obvious problematic instances,but it wouldn’t be that hard to do that. And that would make it as easy as threads is which basically is just an instance when all said and done.

I think you’re going to the wrong place. That or the US is just insane.

I think I’d pay about £8 (approx $10.11) per ticket here in the UK. That is without buying food.

Many many months ago I downloaded it, and I couldn’t even get it to connect to reddits servers, so I uninstalled it moved on with my life, I should have reviewed it.

Now it’ll look like I’m jumping on the bandwagon, I don’t want that. I want it known that the app, independent of any decision management are taking, is ready really crap.

Unless Reddit management has grown a collective brain then the only apps that are exceptions for are the ones for blind users, because otherwise they’d get sued under the ADA laws.

Although frankly they could get sued anyway, because the existence of a third party solution isn’t really a defense.

In slight fairness to Google it’s very easy to sideload apps. And you can install 3rd party app stores very easily too.

Quite a lot of people probably haven’t actually used it yet.

But after July 1st people may actually genuinely be reviewing it which will be a fun experience for them I’m sure.

It is somehow worse then new Reddit on the web.
