They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.
My two cents is there’s a structural issue that’s converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you’ll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.
Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That’s a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That’s before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.
I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to “dangerous” behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.
Or – Christ it’s 2023 – Apple’s first fucking USB-C phone. Holy mother of god, having one stupid cable for the devices I want was a siren song of a mad god, but we’re finally here.
In 2023
All hail the UNIX and UNIX-like.
I just want Macs to get gaming support cause Native games ran really well on my MBA. Which was mindblowing, not having a fan and all.
Deal breaker, not at all. Though, back when I had an iPhone I knew immediately I’d have to have another “Which of the five messaging apps will I need to preen through” conversations, since iPhone users in the US fall back on iMessage mostly.
Now, on the flip-side, what was extremely annoying about using the fruit device was assumptions others made about me in techie circles. Some of which appeared within these responses. That I was tech illiterate, vain, or a fan-boy of some sort. It simply did what I needed while carrying wonderful resale value and support times.
You can ‘sideload’ apps, but your phone needs to check in with a computer every ten days.
Launchers are no where to be seen. I’d imagine if you jailbreak it you could.
Custom roms: nah that ain’t happening on an iPhone. Which is a shame, it’s the best hardware in the space, and iPadOS, for example, is currently holding back the tablets.
Piracy: You can run transmission as a cli on an iPad.
I’m on a Pixel right now and it’s pretty much the same experience. I nearly missed a time-sensitive job offer had I not been using my iPad a few moments before going to bed. My phone didn’t serve the notification nearly all day despite being given permission to do so!
Well, billionaires are wonderful people deep down.
Well, I mean, in the United States our culture is built around “business good; much innovation” and anything to stymie corporate efforts is met with groans of “you’ll understand why it must be this way when you’re older.” It’s almost reflex for some to be apologists for corporations.
Heck, I even read some takes around that damned submarine being along the lines of “we shouldn’t regulate the sub industry – that CEO was just trying to innovate!”
Precisely. I’ll likely block all traffic from Meta’s instance, but that would cause a ton of users to migrate.
Yeah, maybe there could be blurb during the sign up section when selecting an instance? That being said, I didn’t know what I was doing when I first signed up for Lemmy and chose Lemmy.world without knowing choosing the largest one didn’t matter.
Man, that would be the dream. USB-C on a mini would be amazing.
The pipe dream is 120hz, but I get why the footprint would have issues battery-wise
I don’t know much about Mastodon — how is it struggling?
Cheers and thanks! I’ll take a look at it. Just for not needing to pay codeweavers after my subscription period.
The only reason I ask is if the M2 baseline has any sizable improvements over the m1. I know it’s unrealistic to expect amazing performance from a fanlass design, but at least for the stuttering to go away on the lowest settings.> https://github.com/IsaacMarovitz/Whisky
Edit: reading into the project it seems as though I still need CodeWeaver’s product!
