I think you are asking the right questions, IMO. It isn’t out of the ordinary for this kind of thing go happen there are for sure prevention methods used.

I am far more interested in the failure than the statement itself.

I use both Mastodon and BlueSky and I don’t really care for platforms like Twitter. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are good in their own ways but I think BlueSky is user friendly. Easy to setup looks super similar to Twitter, easier to navigate.

Plus, I have heard about it pretty much everywhere. It is commonly compared to Threads. I only know and heard about Mastodon on Lemmy.

Can’t wait for the supporters to come out and gas light buyers instead: "uh, well of course they couldn’t. He didn’t lie you just don’t understand tech…!

I work in IT and people that think like that can fuck themselves. “What do you mean Meta lied by selling your data to a company you didn’t know about. Maybe you should just have never trusted Meta.”

Stupid fucking boot lickers.

Its sure as hell is a stupid threatening way to put it.

He could have said something far more professional like, I don’t know:

“She constantly wants to go to war but she doesn’t understand what that is really like. Put her in the boots of a soldier and see how she holds up and maybe she would have some empathy.”

Fuck Trump, he can’t even speak like an adult or form a proper statement. There are so many ways this could have been executed in a professional manner. It is a threat regardless of you and the 25+ upvotes. The projection here is this is how a from of punishment for this kind of thing is seen in his world view.

By the way, he also knows jack shit about being in a war or being a soldier. Why don’t we also put him in a military uniform and put him on the frontlines. This is fucking Trump just being fucking Trump.

Go Dave the world our finest Lemmy savior… You and JD Vance can fuck off.

Because he is a bitch.

This is why exclusives are bad, IMO. Not that the game can’t be great but this is what comes with it. Companies trying to sell their product. Imagine if every PC game in Steam advertised and required a Steam Deck login.

Ah yes, the always shitty, “I know everything because I am that business and person all the time and better than them.” Shit fucking comment.

At this point people who are like, “just use Linux” sound like, “just buy an iPhone.” The only difference is the Linux people don’t end up actually knowing shit about enterprise environments

I will get down voted because Lemmy is an Echo Chamber with people circle jerking their self justified opinions.

But seriously fuck off, dude. Anyone that literally says this doesn’t know shit about an actual environment.

Let me know when fucking Oracle’s shitty products work better on Linux boxes over Windows when their own fucking Linux products don’t work. I will go to the business I am a part of right now and let them know we should just hire you to make all of our financial and enterprise setup choices because you said so.

Fuck yeah, fucking say it like it is.

Fuck the people that think they are the middle man in the grey area that can see both sides. Fuck the people that think “they are just people not all of them hate or believe in everything on one side. It’s not that black and white.”

This is the kind of shit us people on the left really need to be calling people out for. Fuck the right, fuck Republicans and fuck people that think they are some how different or think they are the voice of reason because they just say false shit.

“Traitors to the republic” what the fuck is this? Star Wars? These people can get the fuck out of here.

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM IF YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT! PERIOD.

Where are the actual trans people molesting kids while we let the fucking religious people do it and albeit their churches are tax free. Where are the dems signing checks to let Russians weasel their way into our elections. Where are the dems letting a convicted felon have immunity. Where are the Dems screaming make America great again while fucking treating people of a different skin color like shit.

Where is the crazy fucking left these people are talking about the offended snow flakes that just can’t put up with things and cancel everything while meanwhile the fucking right, looking at you Tucker Carlson, screams about how the green M&M is less sexually attractive and that kids these days just don’t like women’s tits. You are a brain dead jackass if you can get on here and tell me the left is as fucking nuts as the right. I mean get over yourself. You say kids these days are weak and can’t even fend for themselves and yet here they are doing so by respecting a woman’s body asking for things to stop being sexualized because my god how dare we say a fucking thing about Jesus or how Christ wasn’t real. Oh and boo hoo your “freedom or speech goes unheard and no one is listening to how you justify the death of women raped and abused because you just don’t think that woman should be able to have an abortion because you are more morally aligned and God would want that kid to end up parent less and abused in a shit system that already doesn’t know how to deal with kids.” Where are the dems claiming drugs are the issue Reagan sure as fuck didn’t give a damn about cocaine but fuck did he ever care about the already abused and mistreated black people doing crack that were segregated in shitty buildings with poorer educational options and needs.

Where are the fucking dems ramming people with cars the left crazy people killing people all commuting acts of terror at concerts. People like this can fuck off. The only traitor to our system is the convicted president of the United States telling Christians to vote so it will be set and they will never have to vote again. Where are those same dems yelling communism when the fucking billionaire that bought Twitter is genuinely in with the Russians the same Russians built on communism both parties used to be scared of. Republicans don’t even know what a fucking communist is and maybe they would know if they would sit down and read the fucking books they feel don’t need to be in libraries.

I mean how absolute stupid do you have to be to not see the conspiracy that republicans swear up and down exist right now. The federal government is the enemy out to own you. Well let me lay it out for you Trump is and his party has been trying to do so for 4 years now.

1. Start with inciting hate and violence against anyone that isn’t white. Now everyone that isn’t white is an enemy.

2. Be Desantes, start removing educational books and filtering knowledge then when someone speaks our sending cops to their doors. So now you strip the public of education. You do this with bills you start with women, then minorities, then anyone else that isn’t white and a male.

3. Make it harder to get an abortion, make it harder to speak up about abuse as a woman. Now you have another man in control of the situation filled with hate.

4. Tell people that if they vote this year they won’t have to vote again. So you start to threaten with weapons, knowledge, abuse, and human rights.

Where does that put you? Well now you owe the government your loyalty. You have 1 man in power forever, the same thing repubs complain about already that even Dems think shouldn’t happen. Once you have the loyalty you hide history and education saying that the party ever did anything wrong. You filter the Internet results, buy Twitter as the richest person and claim it is a social site of free speech all while inducing assassinations, filtering the same free speech you are against and build a platform of fucking crazy people to.insight that same violence. I don’t know about you but I think it sounds like Trump and his party are the last fucking people you want running the place. Ask China what they did and they make you disappear.

Fuck people who think they are righteous in the middle and fuck the right. And if I am the crazy Dem or the crazy left person you are so scared of well then I would say I am sane compared to someone yelling about white pride when you can’t even fucking realize your Jesus was black and your Trump fits the bill of the anti-christ. And what do I do about it call you out. What do you do about it claim the fucking immigrants are eating animals and paranoid I am going to take tour guns. The same guns you swear aren’t the issue and that JD Vance says are just the way life is. So you raid a Capitol and kill people. Yeah I would say I am far less scary than you have way more of a reason to say you are the fucking problem.

No relevant but is it me or does that lady become more attractive with ever damn movie she is in.

Hear me out, I genuinely want to know what someone thinks of this idea.

We have Life Phone 3 coming soon and some good e-ink options.

I have been thinking about one of those e-ink box Palmas and putting a minimalist launcher on it making it my primary work device or get away from the world device.

My Pixel 8 Pro is running GrapheneOS so my primary phone would manage my worldly needs in a private manner while my Boox would handle my get away needs for just the essentials. Reading and browsing nothing more.

I would lock the device down with a child google account and Google’s family link app. This could see screen time prevent launcher changing and unnecessary app downloads my primary phone could manage it under a segmented Google profile in GrapheneOS. I think I would find myself to annoyed to even bother allowing app downloads so I would just install what is felt the phone was necessary for. A basic web browser, minimalist launcher and reading apps, lemmy and maybe Reddit. It would cut downy screentime a lot I think.

Look, I am not a billionaire loving guy anymore than some of you are.

But has anyone here considered that Musk has made an impact on the views of young white men (whom also happen to be Republican and Conservative or Proud Boys?

Does it bother us that these men follow a billionaire who doesn’t give two shits about them? Yes.

Do I care that Taylor Swift is the opposite of that and encourages young women and men, be it black, gay, trans, etc to be opposite end of that spectrum. Fuck yes, we shouldn’t base our views off the rich but has it ever occurred to anyone here that it is using those billionairs to represent and have them be vocal with the power they hold with our views instead?

I will absolutely take Taylor Swift speaking up and saying what she believes in and her giving that voice to 100000+ people whose only voice is heard in a vote if her speaking up also encourages people to say fuck Trump and and Musk and every fucking dumb ass on this post that thinks Taylor speaking out is a bad thing by comparison to it somehow being worse then what they already do with Musk.

Fuckem, fuck billionaires, but God damn keep fucking roasting them TSwiftie.

releases fake bones so the mob boss won’t suspend anything.

I don’t really know a lot about philosophy but I will pass on Marxism. I’m practicing maybe great but the overall fear of innovation is a turnoff for me. Being afraid of Technology and the owners of it stifles the creation of things like Lemmy. Innovation is good, technology can be good. People are just bad.

And I always 100% see anarchism thrown around like it would work and is powerful but hasn’t history proven it’s kind of a wet dream for those with no power. You take power away and then someone tries to step in and re-establish that power in their name.

Correct me if you know something I don’t or have some sort of philosophy degree and aren’t just someone who went online and said, “yeah I like that this article also supports my point of view.”

Nothing against you and again I am asking for anyone to explain to me otherwise if you genuinely have knowledge in that field and have read a book or two or have a degree. I want someone who can explain on a knowledgeable level and isn’t just in some echo chamber that Lemmy can be.

Also, I feel the need to clarify. Fuck communism, fuck fascism, and fuck authoritarianism. I also understand one hundred percent socialism doesn’t work either.

Maybe you are also this commenters spirit animal. Now you have found each other eat them like your little raccoon.

Yeah, the only issue is that RCS is actually better and the counter argument is that Apple is breaking the messaging platform by not implementing it in some way.

The other point to make here is that iMessage wouldn’t have to just disappear. They could continue to support iMessage while just allowing text messages to be better for those who just don’t want an iPhone. The whole thing is hypocritical on both sides. Apple has convinced it’s users, very successfully might I add, that it is an Android problem and instead of having choice over your phone, you should just buy an iPhone.

As someone who works in IT this is really not the answer users should get. To me, this is equivalent to, “your computer quit working? Just buy a new one.” But imagine you only had one choice and it’s because that company refuses to just improve standard text messaging for all users across the board but iPhone users don’t understand that Google has a method to fix this problem Apple just refuses to make it a better experience for everyone.

Additionally, I think RCS is an open platform. Google’s fork of it carries encryption and group messaging integration. Point being Google genuinely has a viable iMessage solution to non iMessage texts. Apple wouldn’t even have to stop using iMesaage.
