“Less traumatic than violent, ad-hoc suicide” perhaps?

It’s not that they necessarily care, it’s that it’s the assumed default. So then I have to respond with “I can’t do that, can you upload it here?” it makes me the odd one out making people jump through hoops.

The iphone/non-iphone situation is utterly insane to me. I am constantly being punished for not having an iphone, be it texting or airdrop. These things should be standardized and interoperable, not owned commodities by companies. Grrr.

Shitty position to be in, where you are dependent on your competitor to foot the bill.

These stories continue to come out. And things continue to not change.

Because the commenter didn’t want to stoop to ad hominems?

Indeed, the whole system is massively complex and serves a megacity with one of the world’s oldest systems 24/7. Maintenance is insanely costly and difficult. It’s like repairing airplanes while in flight.

The pasted quotations in another thread seem to suggest otherwise.

I’m happy for you! We all take different paths in life and it’s great you enjoy yours.

That is so wild! I love the inventiveness of human interface devices. Too bad it isn’t FOSS, it’d be nice to see it in fdroid.

For sure. I agree with you. I meant only to say that it might not be so black and white on this one.

I’ve been trying it out and I like it a lot! Haven’t switched yet though.

I have no opinion on the person in question but depending on how severe their autism is it changes the narrative of physical outbursts a bit.

And don’t forget the CLA!

I don’t disagree with that statement; however, that doesn’t make it something the general public will embrace. Its mess of extensions are top little too late. That ship has long sailed. And I say this as someone that prefers using XMPP for 1:1 chats

Indeed. Xmpp is lost as a general purpose chat app for everyone. I have many issues with matrix but it’s the best chance we have, particularly with bridges.

Kudos to the edit to be more productive.

That’s unfairly mean and aggressive. Kindly remember which community this is in.

Perhaps they meant something like lemmy.world for the second URL.

User will be able to block instances without the need for their home instance to defederate

Ooohhhhh so good. I have been wanting that.
