I downvoted it because it’s blaming the wrong entity; the real bad actor here is Apple.
The AltStore should be free and it should be available globally, but neither are possible thanks to Apple’s anticompetitive shenanigans.
Ah, you’re right! I evidently mixed up the expensive Apple accessories haha
My favorite post-Jobs keynote moment was the confused laughter when Apple triumphantly announced the price of the $699 Mac Pro wheels.
So disappointed they’re still doing the prerecorded presentations. The old live ones were so much more fun!
In keeping with the Siri brand, Apple has to make sure LLM-Siri’s underlying model is bad at everything
…does anyone actually have a stereoscopic monitor?
At this point, I feel like Apple is just playing chicken with the EU. If this isn’t “gatekeeping” (ie, the thing the DMA is supposed to prevent), then I’m not sure what would be.
Attitudes like this are much worse for the health of the Fediverse, IMO.
A popular instance with users and content? Kill it immediately, we can’t risk people actually using the Fediverse.
This drink is available in America too, it’s just known by the Italian name, “Caffé Americano”
For the history of why it got that name: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffè_Americano
Let’s consider your email example – I don’t like a lot of stuff Google has done. By your proposed rules, should, say, ProtonMail block all emails from Gmail to prove a point?
I remember it well, and I was annoyed by it!
But in the end, I’d argue Google dropping XMPP simply restored the status quo: XMPP went back to being the same niche thing it was before Google started supporting it.
The Fediverse is just a term for “social networks that use ActivityPub”
Imagine if Facebook offered RSS feeds. That’d be nice right? It wouldn’t ruin anyone’s experience if they started supporting an open standard like that.
Supporting ActivityPub is no different. It will let people on third party clients connect to Facebook properties. Don’t want to do that? You don’t have to!
I love the idea of this, but the only reason I check Instagram is to see what my friends are posting, which I couldn’t do on an alternative, sadly.
Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)
