Not quite. It’s largely because a manager decided that an important metric for Google to be better at was “how much time users spend on the results page” which turns out you can game by just making the results worse so users have to stay there longer. Management made a decision to focus on metrics that are counter to what users would actually want because… well, here’s a better article that explains it:

Bold of you to assume Trump knows how to write and the letter was at all legible.

Per the article, the exploit was fixed back in July. Weird to continue to use present tense to describe an exploit that doesn’t exist anymore.

Really burying the lede that most of these people were already out of prison and Biden was just wiping their records since they’d been good after leaving prison.

But that’s not as fun as JOE BIDEN PERSONALLY SENT MURDEROUS DRUG DEALERS TO YOUR GRANDMAS HOUSE.

I would agree if it wasn’t coming from a cop, the only person legally empowered to murder you and get away with it.

It’s different coming from someone who has the authority to act on that “your life is of low value” statement.

I’m not the same person who started this and didn’t say the earlier stuff you’re upset about but go off king.

Again, the crux of your arguement is “Russia is not claiming Ukraine” and your support for this is actions taken in the past that are no longer relevant as they have been superseded by more recent activity.

You are basically arguing that Germany promised not to invade anyone else if they just got the Sudetenland while being fully aware that the rest of WWII happened. It doesn’t matter in the slightest that Russia totally said they love independent areas when again, their army is parked there and they passed a more recent law saying that territory is theirs. This is just bad faith arguing on behalf of an actor who very much does whatever benefits them at that exact second.

Not only is this article 2 years old, it predates the entire invasion. You cannot possibly think this fact matters in the slightest right now, in the context that Russia parked their army in that territory and said “lol this is actually our land now.”

Tim was probably on the way out sooner rather than later anyway, but I don’t think the larger problem with the Vision Pro is that the Venn diagram of people who think it’s cool and people who can afford it is way, way too small.

An Apple Developer account is $99 a year and the only prerequisite to putting an app on the store. If it’s free, there are no other fees. I wouldn’t call $99 a small fortune.

There are many “open source” apps on the App Store, though most may argue they technically are not because you never have the option of compiling yourself, so perhaps “source available” would be more apt. Things like KDE-Connect are on the App Store so clearly there is some demand for iOS counterparts to open source multiplatform applications.

Yes I’m sure the 7-11 cashier would love for me to try this.

I said generally. Your parents who get paid in local currency for their job are not trading in foreign currencies. The fact that rich people can find ways to squeeze more money out of just about anything isn’t a win for cryptocurrencies.

People generally don’t trade currencies as commodities or treat them as investments. When the same people promising crypto is totally a currency actually start treating it like a stable currency to exchange for goods and services and not an investment or commodity to be traded, I might revisit it. For now, the evangelists refuse to walk the walk.

Hard disagree here, I literally cannot access a cryptocurrency without power but I can absolutely pay cash to buy some water during a power outage.

The only two countries that accept bitcoin as a legal tender are noted powerhouses El Salvador and the Central African Republic… not exactly world leaders.

Tangible items can have utility in the real world, where cryptocurrencies can never be anything more than numbers on a display.

Gold can be used in electronics, and I get that people are mad that currencies are just something we all mutually agree have value, but generally speaking powerful governments back those up. Cryptocurrency is backed up by people promising it’s totally gonna be a real currency any second now. Please ignore that crypto can wildly fluctuate in value which generally a horrible thing for a currency to do.

Crypto is hated because it’s an MLM for terminally online people.

It gains value because people want it and people want it because it gains value is both a perfect description of cryptocurrency and scams.

If conservatives had any media literacy, they wouldn’t be conservatives anymore.

Feel dumb? I am dumb.

I’m fairly certain what you’re experiencing is just how lockdown mode works. It even specifically states in the menu that it’s gonna break some stuff because certain features that apps might need to function are completely disabled. The fix is “don’t use lockdown mode” because you simply cannot work around entire critical feature sets being unavailable on a system level.

To be honest, you probably shouldn’t be using lockdown mode if apps behaving weird is going to bother you. It’s an extreme measure and it says so right when you enable it, it’s not meant for casual use.
