Which is interesting to say the least given that most cars from the past few years use LTE radios which will eventually work about as well as cars from the early 2000s with OnStar.

“You’d have to be on jenkem to believe THIS”
Can someone name and shame yelp for automatically generating pages for business listings that don’t exist like TOP 10 BEST CANTONESE FUSION RESTAURANTS IN HARPERS FERRY.
Go for it, anything for the right to be taken less seriously than the left is a win.
Isn’t that supposedly the plan?
Where are all the people who say “if you don’t like it just get another job” when this happens. Especially if you’re a temp and you could literally walk across the street and get another job.
Why do I feel like such an event would just make population epigenetics LGBTQ even harder.
Bill I really think it’s time we form a committee to discuss ways to punish people whose life circumstances aren’t described in the bible!
My moment with T-Mobile was when I got a Pixel and needed the new smaller SIM size and they wanted to charge me. I was like okay well if you won’t give me the SIM then I can’t pay you for service, and that was that.
I’ve used it for a few years and I like it, I pay once per year and it’s the same T-Mobile service. There’s no roaming though so I always get a local esim when I travel abroad. Kind of iffed T-Mobile just bought them though. They say oh we’re actually keeping prices the same and giving you more data (as mint has traditionally done every other year) but I have a feeling this will be the last data increase we’ll ever see. And also some people complain about deprioritization but as a former T-Mobile customer I can tell you it’s the same places like busy malls or stadiums where direct T-Mobile customers aren’t having a good time either.
Sort of, you don’t have to subscribe to their communities or follow users from Meta. We don’t want to talk with Facebook users, that’s not why we’re here. There isn’t a single person on Facebook who would feel disrupted if they suddenly didn’t see my content anymore, either.
And really it’s nonsense. If we wanted to be on Facebook then we already would be. Meta coming in and telling everyone how to run their instances because a Facebook user might see their content, won’t bode well.
Yep they’ll be a good actor until they’re the biggest instance and they’ll try to turn the fediverse into whatever verse they’re feeling like that week and shove it down our throats. We’ll end up right back here in 3 years of we choose as a community to federate (i.e. give free content) to Meta.
Exactly, they might play along in the beginning, even stretch it by putting all the non-Meta conversations in green text. But once their instance becomes the largest one, they’ll start making it difficult for everyone else.
Your first mistake is setting a minimum expectation for a Meta product. They’ve not promised it will do any of that and they already have you thinking it will based on nothing but rumor.
If they do it better without contributing the improvements back to the standard then that’s something to complain about. Because then all they’re doing is a different, better, proprietary standard and they never really had any intention of embracing an open source project.
That’s exactly it and there’s no reason to pretend otherwise. Meta is a financial instrument to turn money into more money. The only reason Meta would engage with any third party is to make their commercial products more attractive to advertisers. Play with Meta and before you know if they’ll be writing all the rules about how you’re allowed to run your instance.
“and is actually good” it won’t be actually good because with Meta the users are always going to be the product. What you are thinking is exactly what they want to do. Build the best looking app first so everybody installs it, then they’re in a position to start making the calls about the future of the fediverse.
Exactly, off the record means the expectation is Meta will be given free expertise to gain an edge on their competitors. Don’t give diddly squat to actors who want to commercialize your content. It will never end well for you, only Meta.
A lot of malls in Asia have signs that say not to walk on the escalators. So yeah I guess if it breaks you’re SOL if the people in front of you aren’t rule breakers.
