Don't forget local "no camping" laws meant to keep homeless people from sleeping in their cars on public property/public parking.

Oh absolutely.

You just seemed like you were trying to provide info, so I added the last bit to... Add more info.

Hey so the cosmic ray thing was a really popular meme but the glitch was probably just a crooked cartidge. It's funny to imagine a cosmic ray doing this but the odds are so low as to be functionally impossible, and this kind of glitch can happen with dirty or loose connections.

Someone else already linked this video so here is a link to their comment

Solution is simple, community should turn any suspiciously product focused thread into an advertisers nightmare of filth

Then the ads will just be the ones with the comment sections turned off

You and people who hold beliefs like yours should just pick a new name for yourselves, I've tried to convince family members of this for years. Let the jerks have the name they tainted, pick a better name for your beliefs, and get out of the way for people to condemn the institution of Christianity for it's actions.

You shouldn't feel responsible for them. You should just let them suffer the consequences of their actions and get outta the way.

Spez explicitly promised they wouldn't get rid of old reddit.

Which I took to mean they intend to ruin it by cramming all the shitty new features into it and taking away the things it does better.

Edit: I don't trust spez lmao I just think what he said might be a hint for how they will fuck reddit up going forward

Salad theory is rigid and respectable.

Cube rule of food identification exists to be disproven aggressively for comedy and arguing. It's a good time, until the person that believes it so truly they would kill and die to call a cheese roll up sushi arrives. They can make the conversation stressful.

Names of things don't have to follow "the rules of english" to change and morph with who is using them.

Acting like there is any immutable qualities to any language or word is kinda silly.

Currently, with the common opinion split pretty well, the correct answer for how to say it is "'gif' or 'jif'". Call it whichever you want.

Apple is interested in maintaining full control of what apps can be on their platform and how they are presented because it gives them power over negotiations with companies that build the apps. They are basically able to "name their price" and make sure they are always getting as big of a cut as they would like.

The EU is interested in not letting them do that because that kind of "negotiating" behavior is pretty well understood to be anti-consumer. Increased costs for app developers are usually passed directly onto the consumer through the prices. And it tends to get worse over time.

No company anywhere wants to use webapps anymore. Apps installed on devices are free advertising and access to user data. It is frustrating but the way it is, on all devices, already. So basically the answer is the same as why can't most apps that already exist on all devices anyways just be web apps.

I don't think sideloaded would be quite the right word, this is about access to other app stores (like the google play store or amazon app store, or more niche ones) that would then formally and automatically install and maintain apps exactly the same way the apple app store already does, presumably just with a different library of apps to choose from.

Apps from another app store would need no access to any API by apple unless they were specifically interacting with apple services, AFAIK. Which, would be under the full control of apple and apple chooses who uses it, how, and how much they use it, but that is already the case regardless.

I tried to answer your confusions as best as I can do with what I know already. As for why people take this so personally, I would say it is a complex topic combining businesses that are constantly trying to drive each other out of business with the social effects of making the tool people use to communicate a status symbol. And it has been brewing for long enough that people are getting extreme opinions and fostering long term grudges based on personal experience, to the point that some people have some real hatred towards anyone who has a different phone OS than them.

This was a long comment to type and I did it while laying in bed half asleep. Sorry if it has a bunch of typos or errors lol

Really? My main reason for still trying to use adblockers instead of NewPipe or another frontend is that every one I've tried is slooooow. Is there a setting I should change or something???

What is "the enshitification face"

I can only imagine horrible things

I won't call you names but this literally doesn't make any sense to me. In no way would the apple app store be affected, your walled garden is safe. To (attempt to) extend the metaphor, this is like giving you the option to take walks in other gardens, but your walled garden is still where you left it, gate locked.
