I'll give them props for coming up with a creative solution to get around this instead of just giving up.

Appeals are not safety nets for false positives. Making online support require a login is extremely common. However there are other methods of communication to get support. Support not calling you back is not a story. Come on now. Having a

I don't really see the story here. Just the LibreOffice dev got locked out of his account. Seems like an automated system that failed, which isn't exactly a revelation that false positives occur. Feels like this is meant to stir u

That's what blows my mind anytime I hear someone complain about all the vile content on the internet today and that we need to protect children. What about "be a parent" is so impossible to do today? Every device and OS has p

Companies are not moral entities. They will go whichever way the wind blows. Right now it's more profitable and avoid being singled out by the current US admin to not vocally support LGBT. We saw this during pride month this year where

I think this misses the forest for the trees. I could care less if the app requires a Google Android phone or non-jailbroken iPhone to work. I care that age verification exists in the first place, when it most definitely shouldn't. Arg

The spirit of Visa/Mastercard isn't wrong. If a platform is doing something illegal they will break ties or give them a chance to course correct. When Pornhub was exposed for hosting lots of revenge porn and illegal porn Visa&#x2F

There is a developer who is working on a multiplatform app to report ICE as well and they made a response too. ICEBlocks dev just immediately blocked them. So clearly they don't take criticism well and would rather believe Apple market

That's a good point. I don't think it's a good idea for corporations to come in and set up stable energy sources to then hoard it themselves. Would be similar to Amazon setting up shop in Cartolandia. And long time investment

To a degree sure. I think a common architecture should be prioritized to ensure software portability. Similar to x86/x64. Where anyone can make hardware for the platform and porting software is much easier. Returning to the old days of

Yeah this reads like an attempt to push the "made in America" narrative the admin wants. "Things will cost more but it's made in the US" And this is good because...why? It's not about broadening the supply chai

That's my thinking. With all the people who are a part of this story why would the UK government back off and no longer want to spy on iPhone users.

LibreOffice very much took cues from the old Office setup. While alternatives like OnlyOffice took cues from the current Office setup.

Yeah this is basically just an ad for LibreOffice. To be complaining about XML in Office in 2025 is wild.

Not entirely crazy narrative from Apple either. The "leaks" brought a massive boost to his channel. We've seen YouTubers do crazier things to get attention before. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Wouldn't

Again, this isn't self defense. Maybe you're just not familiar with what self defense is. Self defense is not going to another country and murdering civilians en masse. Calling 60,000 deaths collateral damage is pure insanity. If

The US has similar department separation (just look at how many versions of Law and Order there are), but it's less diverse. So the number of departments is smaller. Not a bad idea at all. The people from the fire department investigat

by jajuuka 1y ago
The fire department is bigger than the guys riding the truck. Those same guys aren't doing the investigation either. It's like saying cops can't investigate crimes because all they do is sit in medians and check for speeders.

Sony has done the same with its ear buds as well. So I'm inclined to think it's not "they just make a good product" and more "they've positioned themselves as the premium electronics brand".

Yep, they are a just a modern day mafia. "Would be a real shame if you didn't take down these games. Then we couldn't do business with you anymore."

Self defense isn't "you killed 1,200 people of our people so we're going to kill 60,000+ of your people (majority of which are children), destroy any all your hospitals and educational centers and prevent basics like food, wa

So adding more responsibilities to police to now also get expert level training in determining causes of fires and finding clues in a fire incident. That's kind of how we got here. Where the police are a panacea making them less effect

I think this is true for a lot of different features that get a lot of play on social media as "I wish my device had X feature." And it's not like QWERTY or small screen phones didn't try. They had models that were best

Correlation does not equal causation. Why did teen drinking drop? We didn't ban flavored alcohol. It dropped because enforcement went up. Fines were greater for businesses and those who sold to minors. More time was put into ensuring c

Exactly! You can go to any place that sells or offers alcohol and there are tons of different flavors available and most people consider that cultured. But when it comes to vaping it suddenly only exists to entice children.

Saying it can help people get off cigarettes doesn't mean it should be a medical device and require a prescription. Not to mention nicotine lozenges and patches are over the counter.

We already have restrictions on advertising and promotions. What assistance do parents need to monitor what media and information their kids have access to?
388.
by jajuuka 1y ago
So instead of addressing access we're just going to invent another hurdle from the same cloth? Is alcohol made to hook teenagers on drinking?

by jajuuka 1y ago
I'm not sure what your point is here. It did cause a spike and once again it is going down. The trend isn't reversed, it was a data spike. Even severely anti-vaping organizations like Truth Initiative reflect this too. https:&#x2

It's not a narrative. It's what the research tells us. https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking/ready-to-quit-... The "protect the children by banning products" is a very common narrative
