Main is @pre
Using this account more for forum-interaction, if I say anything I think is interesting here I’ll likely boost it there.
@mbirth@lemmy.ml And yet that minor inconvenience is enough of a hurdle that Musk thinks he has to get rid of it. Following a profile logged-out is impossible now, and alt-accounts are a pain to maintain. I’d wager that in way over half of the cases where someone is blocked, they do in fact then never see the blocker’s posts because they don’t run alts or view logged out.
Is there anything more bullish than a big media organisation warning their readers not to buy? Top signal is when the NYT says it’s great and everyone should buy in. Seems there’s a way to go yet.

Bush, Trump, Clinton and Biden all got more innocent people killed than Julian. Their crimes all dwarf anything he is accused of let alone is guilty of. If you are not a literal bot, you have allowed yourself to be programmed by intelligence agencies into hating the man who exposed the crimes over the men who committed them.
@beeng@discuss.tchncs.de I wonder what proportion of the original code is still there. Not much I shouldn’t think. The original app didn’t ask for android permissions the way the modern one does, if only coz Android changed the way permissions work since then.

Whatssapp is designed as a surveillance app, it’s primary purpose is to collect data from your phone for Facebook to analyze, so they make it basically impossible to use unless it’s installed on your phone.
@Norgur@kbin.social hehe.
A stylus holder too, an extra battery of course, too to handle the extra load.
No phone has been better than the n900. But a case that had the keys and extra power and maybe a secondary status screen on the back, and didn’t look like a bananna themed children’s toy. Could be nice.

While it still says “twitter.com” in the SSL certificate, that’s still it’s name. It is still called Twitter.
Ah, I really wish Oculus had sold themselves to almost any other company on the planet :(
If 200,000 people would rather figure out how to make all their individual forum softwares work together in synchrony than put up with your bloody app, Reddit, maybe you have a pretty shitty app?
Dunno. I never installed it coz I never install any apps if I can help it, and I know how to use a web browser. But if a quarter of a million people would rather subject themselves to the complexities of distributed information networks and the politics of inter-instance blocking than use your bloody app, Reddit, maybe you have a pretty shitty app?
It’s like the kids today don’t know what a web address is with their obsession with apps. They seem to prefer to download an executable than read a text document. If even them, a million zoomer kids who are normally obsessed with apps, if even they would rather entertain the idea of a communications commons not owned and controlled by oligarchs than use your app, then maybe you should have just used yer IPO money to buy Apollo?
Dunno. I’ve never installed either. Sounds sketchy. I distrust apps.
@mbirth@lemmy.ml “Some of them”, sure.
Which is not 90% of them. It’s the exceptions.
If a block-button stopping read-ability works in 80% of the cases, it’s better than one that works in zero percent of the cases.
Look at twitter.com/@elonmusk in a private tab.
Most of the posts you see are from 2022!?
The block button on Twitter has gone from 80% effective to 0% effective.
Well done Musk. Well done.
