True. I’m fine with the likes of Lemmy/Reddit users not getting it, but in this case, we have a DOJ that thinks this is somehow for them to solve. Law making via litigation is just lazy and moronic imo.

SMS works. iMessage works. Both work in tandem on a device and there’s a distinction which is which, therefore you get full access to and from when communicating with a device. I’m shocked that there’s this lunacy around conflating the two or expecting two different standards to work because people want to.
I want to have flying cars and breathe underwater without any equipment next, guess lets file a lawsuit forcing sub makers and car makers to go make that happen.
Why? iMessage is a proprietary platform that Apple invested billions into. Expecting them to have API inter-op is idiotic. It’s not like you can’t text people outside of iMessage. There’s SMS, and people are free to use it. Expecting a “bridge” between two standards for the sake of having a bridge tells me people do not know how any of this works and are just parroting the same stupid arguments put forth by people that, again, do not understand how a technology is planned for, developed and maintained.
If there’s such an appetite, ask the fucking government to set a standard and ask every smartphone operating in the country to comply. It’s really that simple.
Hahahaha that’s awesome! All the while scary to see the snakeoil-ism in tech.
Oh, I’m in the heart of a place well known for exorbitant property values, and there’s been plenty of talk of “fixing housing”. Literally everybody runs on the platform of lowering property values, so I’m sure the letting your congressional staffer know has been done to death.
In addition to that, countless articles, op-eds, research has been published in the last 4 years alone and the point I’m making is, that this DOJ move seems more political theater than anything, which is surprising coming from folks that are supposedly about consumer rights and protections.
We need actual problems to be solved, not grand gestures and showboating of supposed take downs of “monopolies” when the laws around monopolistic practices are about as ancient as the presidential candidates trying to win points with their voter base.
Right. Real Estate is a shit show and has been a shit show for decades with corporations buying out SFH homes and properties, driving up prices and making them unaffordable for the average American. If I was stack list of problems to tackle impacting Americans, that would be pretty high up the list instead of a tech company.
Of course, you can and should do both, but considering time and money are finite resources, it’s very on the nose to pick this fight instead of the one that impacts Americans the most.
I don’t think monopolies should exist, but also, we should be looking at regulations and law making instead of law suits.
This. Smells like me too (the expression, not the movement) as opposed to a well thought out plan as to how they’ll tackle the monopoly.
Should… should we sic EU on them?
The military “geniuses” at work again trying to suppress democracy.
X is a shit company that doesn’t need to exist anymore but I’m equally tired of companies virtue signaling behind causes. Like, fuck off, I don’t need you to tell me that you’re “invested” in “human rights” or “causes” when you treat your workers like shit and fail to provide your retail workers a minimum wage for example.
X and these other companies virtue signaling behind causes for profit/marketing goodwill can all go to hell.
Forgot about this feature. Thanks.
If it comes to iPads and Macs, paying $60 with the ability to access the game on different platforms + cloud saves may make it a compelling buy for the platform.
Now, if only Apple could beef up the AppleTV enough to be able to handle this game like a proper console (or at least close to it). It’d be an excellent experience given that controller support has arrived on all of these devices.
Lol, ok.
Looking to ME for development of Tech, making these wild claims about China… I’m not so sure this person knows what the fuck they are talking about.
I’m currently very happy with wefwef but looking forward to giving this a try!
?
I don’t think I implied Apple was being conservative from an engineering stand point. I meant it from a design standpoint. From an engineering perspective, what Apple has accomplished in computing in recent years has bene nothing short of game changing in every product category it’s touched.
I want Apple to make something that wild again. They’ve been a bit more on the conservative and safe end lately.
CITIZEN SNIPS!? Nooooooo
I commented another place in the thread here about how Huffman is bsing about this “profitability” angle and I can’t link to it. :-( Path to profitability for reddit is a pre-seed 1 funding conversation that should have already been iterated on and solved by now, especially if they are going to IPO. Even if they were to harvest user data, that can be done with transparency, but they just don’t want to do it.
Dude could literally invent a developer program to help support “sanctioned” third party devs that pay some sort of a yearly fee to access the API and raise cost like he is now to fend off LLMs. But nah, I’d expect that out of somebody that is actually wanting to solve the problem. Lol
Provided to him on a silver fucking platter… I mean, it’s astonishing how incompetent he is/was/or is becoming. Holy shit.
