  • It's not that deep.

    • Kid wants a video game thats paid
    • Kid searches the game piracy website and finds it.
    • Kid downloads and plays the pirated game

    Every kid does this and you know it. People don't consider downloading things off of internet as some sort of a moral test or a criminal action. And software piracy is just in paper in some countries.

  • they mainly use iOS

    Well that's not a RCS problem, is it?

    it's not interested, and if you want to send your mom high-res videos, you're better off buying her — or yourself — an iPhone

    The article is basically repeating "fuck standardisation because a company is not playing fair, so let's give them more money"

  • yes, all those subreddits have counterparts in any of the popular lemmy instances. However, neither of them are active as reddit yet and don't cover everything, so you'd have to follow multiple ones here on lemmy. So the problem is multiplied on lemmy.

  • I can handle the blocking, that's something I can control. what I can't control is the same link being posted on multiple instances that just gets annoying to scroll through.

    Recently Google announced Android 14, now all the technology, android, google related communities start posting the same link to the announcement along with the commentary by tech blogs and it repeats 10s of times in the feed.

    I follow multiple tech subs across multiple instances for broader coverage but if the news is popular, it's on every one of them.

  • I don't think people consider Interview with the CEO as verifiable claims for privacy or security. Even Google would claim they are privacy friendly on an interview.

    Some independent security audit or a reputed privacy/security org maybe?

  • Everyone talking about how tremors were not detected in India. Nobody talking about where the earthquake actually occured. Nepal is on an actual fault line, the alert system would be a perfect place for it, but no…

    People in Nepal:

    Well I guess we'll just die during an earthquake, then.

  • I have a chinese friend and when I asked them to look for signal, whatsapp, or telegram, the apple app store had them all but they didn't work after they installed it. They just got a loading screen or couldn't sign up.

    Android custom ROM scene was big back when I was rooting and playing with ROMs, as people found how to root their obscure phones by translating chinese forum posts. You don't have to access apk sites, there are other ways to share apks. Last I heard fdroid was accessible from China as far back as 2014 until recently.

    Here's a quote from fdroid themselves.

    In the Chinese app store market five to ten commonly used app stores, and yet even the largest has less than a majority market share. Most Chinese people have more than one app store on their phone, so there is no monolith there, whereas “outside of China, Apple and Google control more than 95 percent of the app store market share”.

    Do some research before you perpetuate misinformation that confirms your bias.

    But fuck the CCP for authoritarianism.

  • Now they're not really any better than Android phones in terms of apps and being able to bypass the firewall

    What does this mean? You have been able to sideload apps on Android for a decade. How were the iPhones better in terms of apps and being able to bypass the firewall before?

  • Using a process known as plant cell culture, cells from the vegetables are harvested and multiplied in sterile lab conditions. They are then used to create the UV-sensitive printer ink used in the machine. The cells can then be molded and printed in the shape of a carrot, or any shape preferred with the 3D printer

    How long does the cell culture take? is it just a slush of food juice made solid or does it taste anything like the real thing.

    Even aeroponics don't taste like traditionally grown food, and they're grown from real plants. So many questions

    But it will help solve the food scarcity problems if it's made accessible for all. I wish them all the best.
