Off topic but I never see articles posted here about what the new features in Android are going to be, but Apple haters will undoubtedly let me know what I can expect to see in iOS.

Be an iPhone enjoyer and defend Apple here on Lemmy.

There’s no beating the hive mind.

Ah I see. It is the chocolate industry’s turn to have an existential shortage crisis, jacking up prices never to come back down.

MBAs sure are smart for coming up with this one to keep up the charade of perpetual growth.

Good news is that Arc for Windows is coming out of open beta soon. Finally time for me to ditch Firefox.

But you don’t understand. It’s Apple’s responsibility to make iMessage work across all platforms instead of users making informed decisions and using WhatsApp/FacebookMessenger/Whatever nth version of chat app Google is offering. /s

Bunch toddlers demanding equal playtime with a toy they don’t own and then ranting to their mom, who instead of buying the toy for their kid, sues the neighbor to force them to let their kid play with the toy.

What lock in? I can’t export my Google Play movies the same way I can’t export iTunes movies. What am I missing?

People don’t need to use an iPhone. A symptom of our declining society is expecting people or businesses to accommodate your personal interests instead of you making an adult decision.

Passing this would destroy Apple’s entire business, where they spend their effort and money deeply integrating their products to work together.

Instead, they’ll have to spend their time and money creating an API to let random Joe make a watch for an ecosystem they did nothing to create, foster, or maintain.

Context: Salaried employee living in California, working for a fully-remote software startup.

After two years on-call is being implemented. It’s unpaid, and mandatory. With current rotations I’m looking at 10 weeks per year. On-call was not previously required, nor does it appear in my employment contract.

I’ve done some reading and it appears that as long as there aren’t overt restrictions to movement then unpaid uncall is fine.

However, they’re expecting 10-15 minute response times and you always being in a location with internet service.

Additionally, these text alerts are expected to be setup on our personal devices and phone plans. The company does not contribute towards these costs, nor do they issue work phones.

Does that constitute as overly restrictive? And if so, do I have a case?

Agreed. Canada needs to bolster its own army instead of always relying on the US. Saving their arms is a good idea.

TPM on my motherboard is forever disabled and I’m going down with the Windows 10 ship. Another couple years and Proton will be even better than it already is.

Most upvoted Lemmy post I’ve seen since joining and OP is getting blasted in the comments by people missing the point.

Seriously. Reddit is a glorified link sharing service with comments looking for a 6+ billion valuation. Christian and a couple backend devs could recreate it all in a weekend.

Reddit is hopeful that AI training is their golden ticket but in all reality they’ll only ever have one large buyer. OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc, don’t want something that Gemini already bought.

With all that out of the way, I don’t see very many companies lining up to license a far left-leaning dataset that had all non-echo chamber discussion banned. I mean, look at how much trouble Google got in with an objectively racist Gemini that forced them to turn off human image generation.
