Spez explicitly promised they wouldn’t get rid of old reddit.
Which I took to mean they intend to ruin it by cramming all the shitty new features into it and taking away the things it does better.
Edit: I don’t trust spez lmao I just think what he said might be a hint for how they will fuck reddit up going forward
Apple is interested in maintaining full control of what apps can be on their platform and how they are presented because it gives them power over negotiations with companies that build the apps. They are basically able to “name their price” and make sure they are always getting as big of a cut as they would like.
The EU is interested in not letting them do that because that kind of “negotiating” behavior is pretty well understood to be anti-consumer. Increased costs for app developers are usually passed directly onto the consumer through the prices. And it tends to get worse over time.
No company anywhere wants to use webapps anymore. Apps installed on devices are free advertising and access to user data. It is frustrating but the way it is, on all devices, already. So basically the answer is the same as why can’t most apps that already exist on all devices anyways just be web apps.
I don’t think sideloaded would be quite the right word, this is about access to other app stores (like the google play store or amazon app store, or more niche ones) that would then formally and automatically install and maintain apps exactly the same way the apple app store already does, presumably just with a different library of apps to choose from.
Apps from another app store would need no access to any API by apple unless they were specifically interacting with apple services, AFAIK. Which, would be under the full control of apple and apple chooses who uses it, how, and how much they use it, but that is already the case regardless.
I tried to answer your confusions as best as I can do with what I know already. As for why people take this so personally, I would say it is a complex topic combining businesses that are constantly trying to drive each other out of business with the social effects of making the tool people use to communicate a status symbol. And it has been brewing for long enough that people are getting extreme opinions and fostering long term grudges based on personal experience, to the point that some people have some real hatred towards anyone who has a different phone OS than them.
This was a long comment to type and I did it while laying in bed half asleep. Sorry if it has a bunch of typos or errors lol
I won’t call you names but this literally doesn’t make any sense to me. In no way would the apple app store be affected, your walled garden is safe. To (attempt to) extend the metaphor, this is like giving you the option to take walks in other gardens, but your walled garden is still where you left it, gate locked.
Thanks for answering. Idk who downvoted you for answering a question lol
You know, as much as people here say they aren’t happy with it, I haven’t seen any specific complaints that detail the problems. What bad change does windows 11 even make from windows 10?
Not saying I don’t see problems with windows, there are… A lot. But what are the new problems with windows 11?
Edit: to the people downvoting as if you disagree with me: I’m literally asking a question because I don’t know much about windows 11. I am not trying to make any kind of statement for or against windows 11, I just don’t know what the current flavor of bullshit is and wanted to.
I’m not here to argue the finer points, and in general I simply try to aim for the practical actions that lead to better circumstances. I agree with many of your points.
This lawsuit won’t fix anything but it will slow down the progress of OpenAI and their ability to loot culture and content for all it’s value. I see it as a foot in the door for less economically capable artists and such.
Lawsuits are not isolated incidents. The outcome of this will have far reaching impacts on the future of how people’s work is treated in regards to AI and training data.
Noooooooooo. No.
Everyone and every organization has a bias. Even a “neutral” bias is a bias. Finding out which way their bias leans is good info to figure out.
For someone who claimed to not be a fan of OpenAI, you sure do know all the fan arguments against regulation for AI.
You wanted to say “You can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here.” And phrased it as a bad question so you could post it here. You just want to soapbox.
Managing the content of your own feed is your responsibility. If people post off topic in communities, handle it with a report, not another post.
You are creating what you are complaining about. This thread is the most discussion about reddit I’ve seen in a week or more.
I mean if you want to know how it would effect me it wouldn’t. Posts from beehaw don’t even come up, flooded out by more active communities, unless I go directly to the beehaw comms. I functionally use it as a seperate website anyways now, if I ever feel like checking it.
I don’t really understand your overall goal talk tho. You want to be nice in an intentionally vague way, but you feel like federation is somehow limiting you from achieving this vague state of niceness… Is it just moderation difficulties (not to downplay them) or is something else about leaving the fediverse door open problematic to being nice?
To be blunt the solution to your problems seems to me the same as every single other time beehaw federation is talked about: the community you want to achieve will require many more moderators than a typical community of equivalent size, they will need specialized mod tools, they will need to be high quality skilled highly vetted mods, and you will need exponentially more of them the more users appear on beehaw. Federation doesn’t directly stop you from doing any of that, but it does lead to faster growth, which leads to too much work if you aren’t constantly adding moderators to match growth.
You should be asking yourself how big you want beehaw to be, and how big of a beehaw you think can be achieved at all.
Sorry I didn’t mean to be this rambly when I started writing ignore it if you want
Sorry it won’t work for you, but I wanted to throw out for anyone else reading thing: smarttube does let you sign in and have watch history and stuff, yes. And smarttube can also be used on amazon FireOS tvs.
We may never have a good answer for why the gay nerdy communists love the colorful scifi communist space adventures
I think they could install android TV on that pi they have, make this solution free.
Idk, not something I’ve done, and based on 30 seconds of googling it it looks like it would be annoying, but I’ll let OP decide what is worth doing.
I think it would depend on the individual. Some would admit it, once they see the whole globe through that glass it would be like trying to say apples don’t exist in response to someone handing you an apple. Their senses would override the belief. They might not be very thrilled to admit it…
Then there would be the people that are fanatics about it… They would probably get hysterical, or check out mentally, or get violent, or some other sort of emotional break. I would also guess these people would be unwilling to go into space in the first place.
Btw even if it wasn’t intentional this is the funniest thing I’ve seen today, “damn building instincts” had me in tears.
I’m sorry if this is rude, I’m glad we had a pleasant exchange.
No figs for you
I know you meant the ones that you don’t want to get stung by, but even those don’t exist to sting you, they are important predators and scavengers of their environments, and their loss would still have negative effects.
Plus, the context of the post is discussing the possible negative impacts if certain animals just disappear, so I used your phrasing as an excuse to talk about something I think is interesting. I mean, without wasps, you don’t have figs anymore, at all, and all sorts of other stuff. I think that is neat.
Huh. Do you live pretty far from where beavers do (not asking you to be specific)?
But yes, beavers are great. They are what is known as a “keystone species” because they create the wetland environments that many other species depend on to live in. They eat wood, and yes, the way they build dams is by piling debris/wood wherever they find/hear flowing water, until they’ve plugged it all up. Then they build a lodge with an underwater entrance in the pond they made, and stock it with sticks to eat through the winter. I think they are adorable.
You and people who hold beliefs like yours should just pick a new name for yourselves, I’ve tried to convince family members of this for years. Let the jerks have the name they tainted, pick a better name for your beliefs, and get out of the way for people to condemn the institution of Christianity for it’s actions.
You shouldn’t feel responsible for them. You should just let them suffer the consequences of their actions and get outta the way.
