I’ve come to realise at least half of the stuff posted on Reddit these days, especially more so on the popular subs, are all designed to make you angry.

It’s things like posting incorrect info in the title, posting a comic / image that’s been deliberately designed to get you angry, someone really wanting their 5 minutes of fame like this guy, or some post from some bigot.

It’s so tiring. Have started to notice it on Lemmy too.

Would be awesome if they somehow ended up using signal as a means to facilitate remote learning. Mind you they’d have to be very careful and hide it from any potential snitches…

I get what you’re saying and I hate that I had to write it like that. Was saying it to point out that Mac’s just aren’t as locked down as other Apple devices so won’t be subject to the EU ruling anyway.

The entire argument is stupid anyway.

• App Store for iPhone
• App Store for iPad
• App Store for Apple Watch
• App Store for Mac
• App Store for Apple TV

I guess if this gets argued correctly it means Apple could technically get away with not opening up the iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch to accept other stores (Mac already lets you install apps directly from developers). I can see this still letting Apple continue to have the stranglehold over their ecosystem.

I doubt this will change much though. We all know the EU were specifically thinking about the iPhone which needs opening up.

I think the phrasing is important here.

Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association.

If Google’s & Samsungs implementations aren’t compliant with the GSM associations’ standard then I don’t think this is going to work how people are expecting it to. The stuff Google has added to RCS messaging has all been their own implementation of it and not part of the standard, and as far as I’m aware android RCS gets routed through Google’s servers.

I wonder if RCS support is Apple trying to appease the EU with the DMA stuff forcing messaging apps to be interoperable with each other.

Eh, WSL is still enough like Linux that it could be the best option for a lot of people. No risk to the computer being unable to boot whilst still giving you the ability to play with Linux tooling.

And credit where credit’s due: Microsoft details how to do a bare metal install, which is the most likely option to wipe Windows from your machine in the first place.

Imagine if Linux was supported by all the big names such as Adobe and Microsoft. Heck, those companies tend to (or at least for a good decent while used to) release all of their brand spanking new features first on macOS before bringing them to windows.

Well, less customisation compared to Linux, but if you’re happy with the UI layout then this is essentially what you’re getting.
