They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.
My two cents is there’s a structural issue that’s converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you’ll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.
H-how did this meme clear up a confusion I have with ** pointers after all these years?
They’re just pointer pointers!
Dang, that is so cool C can do that.
Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That’s a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That’s before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.
I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to “dangerous” behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.
I agree, but I’m just spitballing why others could potentially see Meta joining the verse as a positive.
I think it’s the impulse to have the Frediverse grow, but it’s a bit of a Trojan horse innit?
To be honest, if the M1 could play more games without a ton of translation going on I’d be using it right now. The computer was truly nuts. Linux has been perfect tho.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Linux has fine ARM support. IIRC, the issue was reverse engineering the drivers for the hardware included in the M-series Macs?
Deal breaker, not at all. Though, back when I had an iPhone I knew immediately I’d have to have another “Which of the five messaging apps will I need to preen through” conversations, since iPhone users in the US fall back on iMessage mostly.
Now, on the flip-side, what was extremely annoying about using the fruit device was assumptions others made about me in techie circles. Some of which appeared within these responses. That I was tech illiterate, vain, or a fan-boy of some sort. It simply did what I needed while carrying wonderful resale value and support times.
You can ‘sideload’ apps, but your phone needs to check in with a computer every ten days.
Launchers are no where to be seen. I’d imagine if you jailbreak it you could.
Custom roms: nah that ain’t happening on an iPhone. Which is a shame, it’s the best hardware in the space, and iPadOS, for example, is currently holding back the tablets.
Piracy: You can run transmission as a cli on an iPad.
I’m on a Pixel right now and it’s pretty much the same experience. I nearly missed a time-sensitive job offer had I not been using my iPad a few moments before going to bed. My phone didn’t serve the notification nearly all day despite being given permission to do so!
