Oh, okay. I found the option. Just didn’t know that was a thing.

You mean Chrome? 🤣

Because who is going to operate the servers?

Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.

And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.

Alternatively, this is perhaps the only way for Microsoft to pressure hardware makers to stop shipping BIOS motherboards. They won’t naturally go away unless there’s an incentive.

Nah it just makes it confusing, especially to non native English speakers

• Ublock Origin, not Ublock

Even if you get rid of every nuclear power plant, governments will still pursue bombs.

Oh, that makes sense.

Google will literally sell you photo books.

What about people who can’t be vaccinated?

That’s definitely a valid concern, I don’t think private enterprises should hold the secrets to protecting people from deadly diseases.

I’m amenable to the idea of getting first dibs on an idea you came up with (software, hardware, fiction…), but it’s been clearly abused to an insane degree by corporations who want to make a quick buck.

“Your body, your choice” has a limit once a super dangerous pathogen shows up and people start refusing the best tool we have to stop it for increasingly batshit reasons.

If you choose not to vaccinate, you’re directly putting everyone else you interact with at risk. So there’s a limit

I’d give you a pass if you said the NSA… but we clearly need something like the FBI. Who would stop child exploitation? Human trafficking?

Yes, exactly. That’s the point.

It’s not surprising, started with the Nexus devices really.

Oh, I’ve noticed that. Does the dev know about it?

I completely disagree with this, but that’s probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.

I joined lemmy.world because it was the biggest.

Defederation didn’t seem to be an issue at first, though I would like to know what exactly I’m missing out on (within reason… Not a fan of bigotry) But the performance issues are making me wonder if I should switch.

EDIT: I do kind of want to be on an instance that federates with both lemmy.world and beehaw. Any recommendations?

Only Up? More like only dashing face first into spikes as your jaded ego throws shade at you.
