Dumb. Just release it. Every day Google waits is just another day Apple’s AirTags remain superior. Why would they change?

Carriers switched to 36 month payments.

I’m going to stop you at we don’t have a problem with terrorists. Shit take, I don’t care to continue.

You better be ready to own the consequences of that stance, which I assume you’ve been privileged not to need to. You can look up any number of mass shooters or terrorists who only got there due to online radicalization.

That only really works if the government is preventing you from saying it, and it’s not something like slander or causing panic. If your lemmy instance banned talking about Pickles, it’s not a free speech issue. It’s a private instance who can have their own rules.

…yea and it’s Apple’s fault Chat is a terrible experience.

You realize as revenue and premium subs are the only reason they host video right? They’d rather you quit using their bandwidth. You literally cost them money.

Because instances getting larger are going to incur exponentially larger costs. If the largest communities start suffering from performance issues or something like that, it fragments the community into who knows how many instances the community will be split into. The only problem Lemmy has is lack of users and engagement, and I think it’s actually flawed by design in this way. It’s like having a big party, but instead of everyone in one house you split it into a bunch of them with not that many people or food options. Idk if that’s ideal or not.

Is Gimp as fragmented as Lemmy? If I want to use the blue tool do I have to use Gimp A, and crop Gimp B? With Lemmy entire genres could just disappear if my iteration defederates with the interaction that hosted all the interesting topics. If that happens then the community all gets split up among other communities which likely will never come back whole again. It’s the Linux model, which is fine for longevity and availability, but it’s not good for keeping like minded people together. Fragmentation might be fine for a tool, but it’s not great for community.

Both of these reasons only remain true if Lemmy stays small.

Sure, but I’m saying it’s wrong for the ancestors of those settlers to not want other foreigners to come to the US. Native Americans are the only ones with the right to make that argument imo.

Much of what is taught about that historical event didn’t really happen, or was conflated together. No real evidence to suggest it’s proof of the settlers being welcomed any more than tolerance of a technologically superior group of people.

I'm not following you, can you rephrase?

Americans have a holiday called Labor Day where service workers still have to work. I wouldn't read much into it.

When you put it that way, oh look it's projection again. We can't let these foreigners in because they'll just murder us all.... because that's exactly what our ancestors did when they came here.

I'm not going to pretend that not having borders is a solution to the problem, but I'm not going to pull the ladder up from the people looking for a better life, because that's exactly what my ancestors did, and the first batch of Europeans weren't exactly welcomed either.

Give me the ability to block entire instances and call it a day.

I’d you’ve never experienced iPhone pre-orders, this is a fantastic feature. You make all your selections now and save it. So when it hits 5am PDT you open the app and tap the order button and you’re done.

Before this you had to do everything when it went live and the system almost always either went down, times out, or was slow.

Years ago we’d wake up in the middle of the night and spam refresh to get it to load. I’d you didn’t get it order within the first 15 mins you wouldn’t get it release day. One time I put my order in 30 mins after pre-orders started and I had to wait two weeks after release. The demand was that high.
