1. There will be scores of people looking for evidence this new device is doing something Apple has not disclosed. This is how security researchers make a name for themselves.
2. The engineers on the team building this product will not want to be associated with building something nefarious. These engineers are just regular people. You can find them online and speak with them. They look for jobs at other firms just like we all do. Unless they are being paid so well that they won’t ever have to work again, they can’t ruin their reputations.
3. If you really believe what this post is purporting, I’ll remind you that you are most likely carrying a device with you every day that has a microphone and internet access. If you aren’t, you are still surrounded by people who are.

The claims this post is making will simply make people tune out or ignore real security concerns.

I don’t know any Netflix devs but I’ve spoken with devs of other apps that had to disallow iPad apps running in compatibility mode on macs because the iPad apps were very buggy as Mac apps. This isn’t true for all iPad apps but you have to make sure your app will run well before enabling compatibility mode.

I also follow a dev on mastodon (I think it’s the guy behind the Channels app) who made an interesting observation. He makes the case that it’s actually Apple TV apps that should run on AVP, not iPad apps.

@Klanky I loved every bit of that except for Rick Berman’s name.

I’ve spoken with some of these Republicans. What I’ve described is what they themselves have said of themselves and their colleagues.

Some of these folks have a lot of self loathing. Needing food stamps isn’t shameful but for many of these folks it is and they hate themselves and their brethren as a result of it.

Because we know how well Trump talked about and regarded the troops.

Are these fools too stupid to look at the latest bills supporting vets and how republicans voted?

It’s mind blowing how republicans are able to convince people to vote against their own self interests so voraciously.

Many republicans, I think it’s most personally, think republicans are trash. They think they themselves are trash.

If you are in the military and know you are trash; think most of your comrades are trash; think most humans are trash, then why wouldn’t you support the overthrow of the government?

Trump isn’t insulting these people when he insults the troops. He’s saying what they already believe about themselves.

I’d be happy if the show could be redone with modern technology. The CGI that was cutting edge when B5 first aired now looks very dated and I think it’s hard for younger prospective fans to get into the visuals.

I think the correct phrase should be “We can’t govern”.

We are ungovernable makes it sound like this is something that just happened to the GOP

Are the Rest of Lemmy guys there playing 3D checkers?

It’s hard to discuss zipper merging because people use to justify all sorts of dick behavior. Zipping through an empty left turn only lane to skip to the head of a right turn only lane for example. That’s not an example of zipper merging but there’s tons of people who I’ve seen argue that’s acceptable behavior.

Since people don’t seem to know Bongo Comics, I’d like to point out Radioactive Man

It’s a great comic.

This article isn’t about nothing. I don’t have a dog in this fight but I do know that there are types of discrimination that aren’t clear from the outside looking in. California in particular has a bunch of newly emigrated Indian residents that may be brining over their old prejudices to the state.

I’m guessing you can’t tell which job applicants are Dalits are which aren’t just from the names of the applicants. There are plenty of people in positions of power who can.

@Jaysyn

I don’t know what he spends it on but Trump seems to spend millions every weekend too. I’m not convinced he’s out ahead because of these donations he’s getting at this point.

Does this mean I can reasonably expect to buy a Chromebook and install vanilla Linux without huge headaches?

There’s always been Linux distros that targeted Mac hardware. There’s got to be something like that for chromebooks, right?

No one can stand him? For a lot of us he’s more the face of the Republicans than McCarthy or McConnell

@Stamets

I’ll simplify things for you. I invented french fries. Anyone who says otherwise is a dirty liar

@PeleSpirit

Lindsay Graham was never a decent person. I hate Trump but he’s done some amusing stuff over the last few years. Completely making Cruz and Graham debase themselves comes to mind

@luckyhunter

More like, “you too would like to run up a credit card bill and then refuse to pay”

TIL Bohemian Rhapsody was formally the highest grossing biopic. I kind of liked the movie but I know a lot of people who obsessed over Freddie Mercury and they all swear the movie is wretched
