I hate small phones. I switched back to an iphone SE years ago and realized it was a pita to use anymore. Everything is… too small.
I will never really understand why china’s on these lists. I know it’s because theyre communist and commies = bad, but every other country on their has literally vowed to kill Americans, while china’s biggest crime is making close to as much money as we do.
Firefox shipped sandboxing on Android years ago (before chrome) and then removed it. I’m not sure you gain much from it on Android. It eats up ram making performance crap on cheap phones and apps already run in their own app user context to isolate what they can access.
I will never understand how people expect software to gather no telemetry or metrics whatsoever.
Signing doesn’t provide security of privacy protections. It just means you paid apple a fee.
Isn’t that what a form is?
Walled gardens are inherantly designed to exclude communities and drive classism. Want to view this picture? Sorry you can’t because you dsint pay the fee. Want to chat with this group? Sorry were going to make inconvienent to everyone involved that you didn’t pay the fee.
The end goal is to split people up into have and have nots in order to drive desire for your product with little thougt given to the poorer communies it disenfranchises. Your attitude is the boomer “fuck you. Got mine” one.
I don’t think people like the walled garden. I think they don’t know what it is even. They assume they can’t buy a competitors headset/watch/tv because it won’t work, and often they’re probably right because apple refuses use open protocols. But I don’t think they draw the line between the two. It’s not because of apple refusing to implement something it doesn’t work. It’s because “the competitor is bad”, or because they don’t have the “deep integration” between the two or something. It never occurs to them that if you just make the API public it suddenly “just works” for everyone.
Genuinely curious, do real people actually use ipads?
I’m surprised to hear /home is non standard.
Languages with null in them at all anymore just irk me. It’s 2023. Why are we still giving ourselves footguns.
I mean, ipads are pretty bloated with shitty version of things on launch too. Basically my first week with them is always trying apples apps and then realizing they’re awful and downloading something else.
I’ve always found the Tpm complaints a little suspicious. The same people who go on and on about how much they worry about security and privacy and how MS doesn’t care, suddenly just don’t give a shit in these cases. I assume they mostly just want to shit on stuff.
It’s a good to push to make it standard and hardware manufacturers wont without a good old shove.
64gb of ram? What’s the use case for that?
Hotstar disney+ is still $20 a year here in se Asia. Netflix starts at $5/month ($3 for mobile only). Im super curious if these prices ever hit us. I have a feeling they’d just kill the services if they did.
You can’t download and run code on iOS, which is pretty much the definition of an extension. You could ship some extensions “with” your browser, but at that point they’re just a feature. iOS has adblocking addons at the system level though, doesn’t it?
There’s a million add-ons that add this, isn’t there? I have one installed at home that basically makes it into what arc has
I mean, the loss of the headphone jack was a downgrade for no reason beyond profits. Big screens were a tradeoff made on purpose because customers demanded it.
