Uh, it does not and has not sent SMS for a good while now.

people KNOW they are just not friendly to repairing your shit easily.

You know, I got into an argument about this recently and there were 3 different people trying to argue exactly the opposite to me. And they used ifixit's scores as evidence. So no, people don't know. Apple's disinformation works.

Not really. Different websites will treat you differently depending on what country you're accessing them from.

I'm assuming this is supposed to be metaphorical but you don't seem to understand that it is not analogous because replacing FaceID doesn't suddenly give you access to the device.

Do you really think that replacing FaceID suddenly gives thieves unfettered access to your phone?

So sad. I got into argument just a few days ago and they used ifixit's repairability score as justification for their nonsense.

I mean there's no shortage of possibilities

I mean specifically the bit about "X will..." as if it is a fact.

So encryption is dead in the UK?

Do they not realize there are messaging services that don't even have a central server or even an entity responsible?

Or companies that don't even have a presence in the UK, and thus no responsibility to comply with their laws?

Pedos will just download and install something like Keet or Signal or Session while the privacy and security of law-abiding citizens are irrevocably compromised...

The beauty of the Fediverse is that many tasks like this can be done by the client, as opposed to the actual base software.

For instance, Lemmy can't actually block instances or "subs" (or whatever the equivalent is) on an individual level, but Voyager can.

On another point, as much as I hate hearing about Musk and Twitter, they are both very powerful, and both have an impact on the world. Especially if Twitter were to become an "everything app" (AKA Superapp)(which it hopefully won't).
