Agreed. If it's a big patent troll against a startup, I get the criticism. Apple's a big corporation with a lot of clout that can easily be abused. I think it's best that the courts are handling this.
I don’t need trollish, outlandish, inflammatory language to make a point, nor will it gain any favorability to any argument I hear. I get that it upsets you, but it also doesn’t affect you in any way. Literally the only people who encounter any side of this issue are Apple users, and anyone can just use a secondary chat app to avoid it. I literally have 6 chat apps installed on my phone, and I only use iMessage for less than ten people. Does that annoy me? Not really. I just keep all chat apps in a folder called “social” and treat that folder as if it’s its own cross-platform message app.
Nobody is being “forced” to do anything. People have options.
Who did what first doesn’t even matter. It’s merely interesting at best, but is beside the point and doesn’t lend any precedence to anything being discussed here.
Here’s the thing, if I had “friends” forcing me out of conversations just because I couldn’t so much as use iMessage with them, I’d question my own standing in that friendship and its actual value to me.
Ask if there’s an app they preferred to use for non-Apple users, and see if you’re willing to join them there.
Just tell them which app you use and how to reach you there. If they really need to reach you, they can just contact you that way.
Let them keep using iMessage. Poor resolution images and green bubbles will be their problem to deal with, not yours.
I think this is the way to go. Rather than paying every random app a subscription to jerry-rig AI into their programming somehow, I’d like to have my own personal, and private, AI that plugs into a framework that each app offers. I’d also like to be able to purchase curated extensions to privately enhance my own AI.
I know absolutely jack about Linux, but as someone with a steam deck, eGPU support would be pretty spiffy. Not sure how possible that actually is though.
Some of the graphical details in the trailer make me wonder if this game is getting dumbed down for a switch release, in which case I’ll opt for a steam version over PS5 since it’ll play nicely on Deck.
I think the point is to secure your identity within the phone, not just brick the phone. (Unless a 5 dollar rom disables passcode locking or something.)
Remote play in the house is excellent with Chiaki. I know it works across the web as well, but I can’t figure it out. It just doesn’t work and I have no idea if it’s the way I set up chiaki, the way I set up port forwarding, the way my router handles port forwarding, or simply the internet connection from which I’m attempting to connect. I wonder if the Portal has these issues, because not having to deal with any of that is actually a pretty solid selling point.
I think he had a fundamental awareness of how regular people needed to interact with the world around them, and he kind of kept upending tables at Apple until their tech fit right in somewhere. I think he had such a stage presence not only from talent, but because he seemed to genuinely see something in the product he believed in, and had all the reasons why.
