Honestly this isn’t too surprising or unreasonable. The White House can and should reach as many people as possible for a variety of communication reasons. Twitter is still wildly popular and has reach, so it’s a no brainer to tag along. They also post on many other social media platforms for the same reason. It’s not really a big deal imo.
This! Using my knowledge and practice to practical effect and being thanked for it is genuinely the best feeling! Even if it’s transactional, it’s still nice to feel like a job well done after all the years of effort and craft.
Been using it since it launched- it knows my taste inside and out and has been the source of a quadrupling of my library of music. The radio discovery is insanely well tuned for me and the cost is just fine compared to buying music. Other than that idk how much I believe that AM pays artists more mostly because the real thieves are the labels who aren’t letting the money make it to the artists. But if so, that’s a bonus. It also works seamlessly in the ecosystem to the point of being an actively sought feature for me as someone who has several devices therein. There’s also some nice extensions that automatically convert links from any music service to AM and back so I never feel like all my Spotify friends leave me behind because sharing music is automatically converted on my end. Rarely is something not available on either service.
Same deal, got a full 3-2-1 backup of all my data! Easy to recover if I make a mistake but even easier to replace with higher quality newer builds of Linux isos.
And this is why I’m afraid the series going forward is dead. Why would they do anything other than the bare minimum on VI to get it to sell so that they can then start milking the online cash cow again.
Flashback to all those high school nights slamming monsters and passing out like nothing happened. If only there were signs so I could have been tested earlier.
Only while on phone calls or waiting for the microwave’s last 90 seconds so it’s too short to go back to my desk and too long to hold the handle and watch the last second tick to done so I can open it right away.
This is why I always get a Costco 18" pizza for $10 every time I'm at the store. Yes, the pizza quality is not great, but neither are any of these other chains that charge 3x (or more) for less pizza of similar quality.
But what does that matter when the platform has plenty of competition? This is what doesn’t make sense to me. Google chose to allow other app stores. That’s a feature of the platform. Apple chose to not allow sideloading or other app stores, again, as a feature.
Who is forcing people to use Apple devices?
Why doesn’t this extend to other platforms like Nintendo or PlayStation whose stores are explicit features of the platforms?
This is what never made sense to me about this argument.
Who exactly is forcing people to buy iPhones? How is the platform anti-competition when there’s loads of competition all around it, in equally as large numbers?
The walled garden has always been a feature, a selling point. And people choose to adopt it or not.
Can you explain better how the logic in your argument above goes, with that in mind?
Holy shit! I did not see that coming. I just got the mainboard case to convert my fw13 so it can be stashed away on my homelab for some ancillary services. Assuming the price is right, I’ll have to consider grabbing one to put in my now-empty laptop! Very exciting.
