Users telling developers to fuck themselves is a irony lost in these threads. How many open source projects do you maintain?

and people wonder why everything is entirely moving to subscriptions.

You are able to choose because they let you. You don’t think they know that? They own their own browser for god sakes. They could turn every adblock ineffective and not care for mouth breathers like you claiming victory by using applications and adblock lists someone else make, who would shit themselves if they stopped being maintained for a few days.

Don’t make yourself feel like you beat the Big Tech. It’s anything but…

Enjoy yourself feeling like a h4x0r though.

But that’s because the M1 and M2 Mac sold like hot cakes and we’re at a quiet stop in the product timeline.

So you agree that it’s mainly Apple stans buy in whenever a new Mac drops, and hasn’t been able to really influence non Apple stans.

That’s what the poster above you said. Apple stans buy in because they’re a cult, so of course their sales will increase once a new mac drops.

sold like hot cakes

The same was true for every other manufacturers during covid as everyone was bound to work from home and needed a laptop, but nobody seems to mention that

apple should have had this fixed long before

not if it was intentional. I mean apple bends over for authoritarian governments around the world. This could easily be used as a state surveillance apparatus and casually “fixed” when discovered down the road as a “bug”.

are you surprised they didn’t tell you? They probably released a PR in their own language, in their own country that no one bothered to cover. Because claiming east is moving ahead in technology (despite sanctions) causes people to feel bad things in their gut.

As demonstrated by the downvotes without arguments on this post.

P2P calls are inherently more privacy friendly, dumbass. look it up. Guess what protocol Briar uses?

Eating that shit up without an ounce of knowledge on the subject.

Telegram not being part of Western Intelligence Toolkit along with facebook, google, apple and others offends people to the extreme, so they make a hill out of moles. P2P is inherently privacy friendly and your IP is most likely going to geolocate to the ISP. Techcrunch seems retarded.

But do keep up the fearmongering going.

it’s meant to make you feel bad as if god is going to judge you if you don’t pay. It’s what religion has been doing for generations.

“if you come to church and don’t tithe, it’s between you and god”

See how that has made pastors very rich? if you can’t see that, honestly, good for you…

US: Mexico is a hostile communist nation and we need to act. USApes: Bomb them y’all. I’ll start by murdering innocent mexican kids I see at the mall.

The military complex lines up their pockets. Can’t say no that

Seems like ethnic cleansing allows you to have a clean slate and hiring literal nazis to do science for you gives you claim for all technological advancements for yourself.

Israel is following your footsteps.

“Brother in war crimes.”

It’s funny that the people that have lost to every foreign conquerors for the last 1000 years, then kicked around, and finally handed over by the occupying power threaten other people.

The only threat is the lies their internet brigade promotes around the internet.

US is slowly eating itself from the inside and it needs to send their undesirables do some war crimes so they can “than them for their service”. It’s been trying to do that since the ukraine conflict, but Russians shit themselves without much effort.

US is now looking at other destinations. Since Israel has been their puppet basically forever, even conservatives will be frothing at their mouths to see some war crimes of their own.

it’s funny how double standards are in play when it comes to US and its propaganda guzzlers:

• Some Uyghurs perform a terrorist act, China uses re-education camps

“China is genociding innocent people, China is our enemy #1 and i’ll not so subtly hate anyone looking east asians”

• Hamas performs terrorist act, Israel blocks aid and supply to the area of civilians that are literally in open prison

“They deserve it, please support them”

I mean extremely horrible are bad but you see the double standards.

People are bombarded with propaganda telling them who’s good and bad. If US supports an authoritarian nation for its own interest, everything will be censored or given very little engagement so it doesn’t get the global coverage. But if it supports a genocidal state, they’d make sure most people would be supporting it.

Indians push these self-aggrandizing lies everywhere on the internet, from reddit, youtube, to quora and facebook. And with their population propping up these posts you have to take everything with a bucket of salt.

The top post is saying people don’t pirate Windows there because it’s illegal, like what??? go to any piracy based forums, telegram channels, and groups, it’s full of them.

Search and ads are their bread and butter, Android is there to get you personalized ads. They’re not going to give them up as defaults.

They even mess up split screen when you choose a different launcher. that’s just a dark pattern to make you use google more

Are they going to bundle chrome as a system update like apple bundles safari, just so they can say they have longer update cycle?

do you trust that guy because he calls himself a scientist or because he has fancy graphs, maybe his accent? hmm… must be the lab dress shown for 5 seconds in the intro.

I saw both of his videos where he compares pixel watch and apple watch against polar h10 chest strap as a reference device, but somehow the reference device is ranked lower than apple device in his pixel watch ratings? How does that happen?

how does a reference device wind up being less accurate against the device you are testing against? I couldn’t find him testing them against an actual medical equipment.

Him comparing Apple watch against Polar H10: https://i.ibb.co/MnSJXR1/image.png

His ranking when testing Google pixel watch where polar h10 is less accurate?: https://i.ibb.co/Xt9hS4J/image.png

Google is shit at hardware and nobody wants a subscription for a watch but maybe, just maybe, this guy seems like a apple fanboy?

The guy doesn’t reveal his data or the code he uses to plot the graphs, just 100s and 100s of affiliate links. How the hell people consider this scientific and why the fuck is it so popular?

I’m no scientist but I don’t know. educate me

No company is going to cater to individual needs, especially when they have a business to run. why is that hard to comprehend?

WHY DON’T YOU MAKE AN APP THAT BALANCES BETWEEN CONVENIENCE, USABILITY AND PRIVACY?

WE ALL WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

And I expect it to handle payments in soda cans, It isn’t tied to the blockchain or my bank account. I hope you can implement it. k, thanks!

afaik, Wire doesn’t use OS operator notifications provider for PRIVACY. If you can’t live with that and make it work, it’s not their fault.
