   As a counterpoint, this does make it so that one group has disproportionate power over what features make it into that engine, or how they are implemented. What if their incentives change over time and are no longer aligned with what we mig

   I’m also not sure how much sense it makes to talk about the personal carbon footprint of a pilot flying for their job, in terms of “could they make decisions that would change how much is released”

   Conveniently for them, iCloud private relay only really impacts browser usage, third party apps are only impacted when using unencrypted connections, which is unlikely.

   Most users have no interest in developing the skills to handle that level of freedom responsibly. I think it should be an option, but it is unfair to say this is only corporate FUD.

   I’ve been using the “My Aurora Forecast & Alerts” app, which is pretty good. I’m using the pro version, but I think the main difference was removing some ads.

   Well, it is a vote for whoever wins their state. I know several people who didn’t vote back in my home state because the outcome for that state was already a given. The current way the electoral college works effectively disenfranchises peo

   I think in this case they are referring to the documentation of what happened to them, not their immigration status

   For what it’s worth, Signal is also American.

   You can say what you want, whether or not people will understand what you mean or interpret it the way you intended is the more relevant question, in my opinion.

    Doing a bit of digging online, while there is evidence that /some/ people use it, it appears to be very limited. I understand the desire some people have for an unambiguous English term to refer to things from the US separately fr

    Right, it’s ultimately about picking the right medium for a given discussion, be that tickets, email, a call, or some kind of messaging. That can vary person to person as well, so it’s always a bit of a compromise.

    I’ve been using Kagi for over a year now. I just don’t think about it most of the times, I search, I get what I’m looking for quickly, and I move on. That’s all I want and it’s delivered well, without ads.

    I agree, I think it’s more of a novelty reason, just a constraint for the sake of encouraging creativity / not just being another place for the same things we already have.

    The play date doesn’t even have shades of grey and has plenty of good games, arguably because of similar constraints

    I never thought about it, but I’m assuming that means the cables also carry enough electricity to power the amplifiers?

    Thanks, hopefully that gets more common as apps add support.

    Does it transcribe private feeds? I pay for the ad free streams for some of the podcasts I listen to the most, so if those aren’t transcribed then the usefulness diminishes

    There isn’t a Nobel prize for mathematics. There is the Fields medal but it is different, and not handled by the same organization.

    I don’t see that as an interest, as much as a method of achieving their interest (selling more iPhones). While the means are certainly questionable, in some sense the goal does align with that of their users - more people using iPhones will

    All signs point to this being a response to Chinese regulation, not the EU. https://daringfireball.net/2024/02/eu_rcs_imessage I’d be more concerned if RCS was replacing an encrypted protocol. Going from SMS to un

    In no way am I intending to insult your intelligence, and I apologize for any lack of clarity that could lead to such a misunderstanding. Unlike modern messaging platforms, SMS has no: - guaranteed delivery - read receipts - proper support

    As an iOS user myself, SMS is still a low quality messaging experience, cross platform or not. Apple could have taken RCS seriously years ago, raising the standard of cross platform messaging for everyone. This would result in an objectivel

    Android devices can reasonably send messages between each other, by default. The whole issue here is that Apple has been intentionally holding back the cross-platform messaging experience in order to make competitors seem less appealing.

    So are there any spaces one could use to test it out with?
