original comment still stands:
I’m not sure it’s devil’s advocate: I work with computers for 40 hours a week. There’s no way that I want to put any effort into a computer in my personal time
this is not linux and android. this is apple
in the context of this comment - not putting any effort into a computer - customisation and workarounds are irrelevant
you’re completely right, but only bank sanctions are relevant to the majority of people, and really are bank sanctions relevant to most people???
however, that wasn’t the point you were making in your original comment
there are no distros or combinations of software that come close to what mac/iphone/apple tv provide even WITH effort; let alone without. they have other benefits, but ease of integration is not one of them
that’s only partly true:
economically liberal indeed means free markets and capitalism (this is why the australian conservative party is called the Liberal party)
however liberalism as a whole includes individual rights like human and civil rights, secularism, etc (this is what the US tends to define as liberal)
it’s an overloaded and imperfect term for our current global political cultures
similar applies to left and right wing:
the left are supporters of change and generally change that supports less fortunate and leads to less social hierarchy
what both these things have in common is that liberal and left wing are about change and new ideas, whilst conservative and right wing are about maintaining the status quo (or as is more currently the case, regressing to a previous status quo)
optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system
facebook is social media, therefor friendica is social media
instagram is social media, therefor pixelfed is social media
twitter is social media, therefor mastodon is social media
at the VERY least, all the latter platforms can interact with each other via activity pub, as can lemmy. by interacting with lemmy, you’re making interactions with social media
social media isn’t just big tech - social media is a way of interacting with a system
is reddit social media? most people would say yes it definitely is… and this makes lemmy firmly social media
literally if anyone else did stickers half as well as telegram
the “new” hotness is grid layout
on top of what others have said - directing you to the app and login - it’s also likely just that teams don’t talk and make decisions that solve their local issue without too much for the whole, and then say “ugh team x solved this so inelegantly! we were forced to do our thing that wasn’t as nice!”
*without being sued for more than we would make from seizure induced deaths
because it’s been like… a second
there very well might be consequences- taylor swift probably isn’t too pleased, and she has the money to sue… but law suits take time
do you have supermarket monopolies in the US though? it seems like you have heaps of choices
like there’s some big companies for sure, but they’re not really monopolies are they?
heck in australia we have a duopoly: cole’s and woolworths… we also have aldi and some independents, but they don’t really move the needle… point being we’re much closer to monopoly and still call it a duopoly
i think the term is important, because the solutions are different
you’re not entirely wrong, but this is the current standard/accepted advice for local development - probably what we’re talking about given this thread is about git commits - because the chance of exploit via this mechanism requires local access… with such access, you’re pretty screwed in far more ways
their methods are indeed significantly more sophisticated than that. explaining them accurately, however is beyond my knowledge… and i’m a principal engineer that deals with security quite regularly
what this requires from developers: possibly documenting protocols in an open way when they choose to shut down games so that people can re-implement FOSS servers
“playable” is open to interpretation, and does not include trademarks, copyright, etc… nobody is asking for to allow assets to be traded (ie piracy), or open sourcing any code
but if you have purchased a game, and the servers for that game go away, someone else should be able to re-implement a method for allowing those games to continue being played
… also if DRM servers go away, you should disable the DRM somehow: you don’t get to just say that the DRM and therefor the game isn’t available any more
all of this is not at all knee-jerk, and very realistic
i mean they literally admit to it in the article… they need to find the “business model” to support it, which could mean a subscription and an expensive price tag… the reason isn’t because it needs ongoing support - it’s because of planned obsolescence
boo hoo we can’t make money off selling you shit every few years so we have to charge you $200 and a subscription
yeah if it wasn’t obvious from the first paragraph, this is the most blatant load of BS i’ve read in a while
we must reckon with the utter amorality of the Democratic Party —which is not to assert that there are no amoral individuals in the Republican Party
“oh we’re impartial we swear! we acknowledge there might be 1 or 2 on our side”
here’s someone that’s never worked for small companies before… having worked for both startups and enterprise IN MELBOURNE, you can have the enterprise salary or the startup flexibility… you don’t get to have both
and to work for small companies takes a whole skill set of its own in a different kind of risk management that i don’t think anyone i’ve worked with in enterprise possesses to be quite honest
he complains that a small company wants him to do twice the work at the same salary in 1/6th the time? yeah welcome to the job mate… you can do 20x the work at a small company but they don’t have money to burn… you sacrifice salary for job satisfaction - ie getting shit done and being proud of it
don’t like it? follow the money, be stuck in enterprise and build the shit they want you to build at a slow pace because of the red tape… your salary is higher because it has to be to make up for the fact that it’s not fulfilling
not to mention apparently there have been recent studies that predict the deorbiting of all the satellites is going to have drastic climate effects
