The bigger problems Apple has are their enterprise device and user management, and the fact that many businesses are still reliant on Windows-only software.
Most companies I’ve worked for buy machines that usually aren’t much cheaper than Apple equivalents, at least in terms of MSRP, despite the quality often being worse. My work-provided 2022 HP Z-Book 15 is more expensive as configured than my personal M2 14" MacBook Pro, and is still a shittier machine in just about every objective (and subjective) way I can think of. This is because enterprises typically buy business class laptops like Lattitudes and ThinkPads rather than lower cost (and less durable) consumer oriented machines. That said, it is not uncommon for IT departments at large enterprises to pay well under MSRP for these machines when buying in bulk.
I don’t like having cavities.
I don’t want to lose most of my teeth and have to wear dentures in my 60s.
The cleaning I get every 6 months is able to remove crap that regular brushing and flossing doesn’t.
It was because lemmy.world was experiencing explosive growth and did not have a good mechanism in place to limit spam and troll accounts. This combined with Lemmy’s still infant moderating tools made it difficult for Beehaw to contend with the influx of lemmy.world users who were harassing beehaw users.
A mutual decision was made between both beehaw and lemmy.world to temporarily defederate while the moderation tools are worked on. They fully intend to re-federate once these tools are in place, as both instances have a fairly similar attitude towards harassment and hate speech.
There was no disagreement between the admins of beehaw and lemmy.world
I have Premium plus I use uBlock and have never had a problem.
You claimed the iPhone didn’t change the market, but it did.
I don’t think any competitors would have eaten Apple’s lunch if the iPhone launched 6 months later. They may have had more features out of the box, but it took years for anyone else to catch up to the iPhone’s UX and build quality. Features like copy+paste didn’t matter as much as having YouTube anywhere you go on a 3.5" screen and a mobile web browsing experience that wasn’t cancer.
All one needs to do is look at the rapid u-turn Android took in design after the iPhone launched to see how much of an impact it had. Before the iPhone, Android phones were going to look like Blackberries.
Did nobody read the article? Nowhere does it say they would make Windows cloud-only. They’re talking about renting out virtual machines.
In this case, the problem was solved over 60 years ago. This billionaire decided to reject the tried and tested solution and came up with their own.
Yet Another Chromium forK
It’s really dumb because Gecko and WebKit are right there. Putting them in your own browser may be a bit more difficult than reskinning Chromium, but it’s not some monumental engineering effort.
Discord provides free hosting.
Everyone talking about alternatives like Revolt or Mumble does not realize how big of a deal that actually is.
I think they’re complaining about the headphone jack. But the reality is most people didn’t even care, it’s a problem solved with a $5 dongle that just lives on your earbuds.
Linus Tech Tips recently did a video where they go over the cost and complexity of running something like YouTube.
Frankly I’m surprised 4k video wasn’t locked behind Premium from the start.
Part of me wonders if YouTube could have scaled up more gracefully if they pushed a subscription option earlier (and priced it better, I hate how it’s bundled with a music service I don’t want).
Ads fucking suck, but I think most people recognize they are a necessary evil in order to run any kind of free social video platform at a meaningful scale.
The best part about this is that the people wanting to turn the country into Saudi Arabia 2.0 have a tendancy to spread conspiracy theories about the other side imposing sharia law…
When you make a community whose key promise is providing a safe space for marginalized groups, is it not your duty to actually make good on that promise?
To Beehaw, following through on that is more important than growing as fast as possible. People who want growth at all costs shouldn’t use Beehaw.
I don’t see any upvotes on your comment
All of mine start with 0 unless I click the up arrow
At first I thought “damn, what kind of socially defective moron upvotes a comment like this”, then I checked the activity and saw that you upvoted your own comment.
People have been saying these things since 2020 and it has convinced me that people in online gaming forums are out of touch.
Here’s my argument against the Series X though:
It has nothing I can’t play on my PC. Even though Sony has started releasing their games on PC, their ports usually come years later. I don’t hold this against Microsoft though, I’m more than happy to play games like Halo on PC instead of buying another console.
Sony console exclusives are better and more numerous than Xbox exclusives. This has been the case since the Xbox One.
The DualSense is a way cooler controller. I’m pretty miffed that the Xbox controller still doesn’t have a gyroscope, When utilized properly a gyroscope makes aiming in shooters a lot easier.
So the way I see it, there isn’t much reason to buy a Series X beyond its awesome backwards compatibility.
