  • Reddit's largest Apple community will stay dark, as CEO promises to ride out shutdowns

    Did I miss an announcement?  Has Elon taken over Reddit?  Lol
    It's not the elongated muskrat himself, but it's rat-like behavior.

    Reddit is trying to go public.  They want to maximize the appearance of revenue to get a high IPO price, so they're trying to charge unworkable amounts for 3rd party apps that don't actually make any money and can't possibly afford to pay.

    Big groups going dark will help prevent that from working like they want it to, the stock will be worthless.  And because of Reddit's bad behavior, that's actually what we all want to happen.

    WOW - I have to reply to this.  Which 'Big groups' are going dark - and what does that even mean.  Seriously, put the bat down full of pint.  Drink water.

    Big groups.



    Gone dark.


    Do try and keep up.

  • Apple threatens to remove Jack Dorsey-backed Damus app over in-app transactions

    How many companies need to fail and crypto bros need to go to jail before this entire nonsense is dead and buried?

    Love the show. But really not sold on Rebecca Ferguson as the star. She's the wrong actress for the role. She attempts to compensate for her petite and frail physical appearance with combative overacting in exchanges, and is in no way threatening to anyone. I'd like to see a more imposing and authoritative figure in the role, someone like Queen Latifah, for instance. Her talent is wasted on that stupid "Equalizer" show. Or maybe Gina Carano!
    If nothing else you are remarkably consistent with your sexism. 
    Sexism? Both my suggestions are female, last I checked. In my milieu, neither petite nor frail are pejorative. Just not suitable for an action series.
    Frail definitely has a perjorative sense, and is not a word I'd readily associate with Rebecca Ferguson.

    To everyone celebrating this EU overreach against Google, your favorite company is next in the barrel. Careful what you wish for, won't you?
    Parasites there is nothing good about Google or Meta, and regional devices from Apple are still coming to the EU.
    I don't find any value in Google or Meta either, but that doesn't mean Apple ain't next. Whenever any corporation has a pile of cash, all governments think they're entitled to "wet their beaks" in it. And there's no one with a bigger pile of cash than Apple. If there is, they'll be a target, too.
    Well, in this new climate, Apple Vision Pro isn’t coming to the EU in 2023, I don’t think that’s a coincidence by Apple, imagine if Apple did introduced Apple Vision in 2023, the EU would immediately target it, and tell Apple give a free ride to Spotify.
    The Vision Pro isn’t coming to anywhere in 2023.  But don’t let that get in the way of a good rant.

  • Apple Vision Pro vs Meta Quest heatsets - how the approaches compare

    It’s ridiculous how similar they are. From the general look of the device to the way metas workrooms look, etc. 

    And also the fact that meta integrates the battery but apple makes you wear it - with a long cord attaching your head to your waist. 

    In some ways, the meta headset is designed better. 

    And that’s sad. 

    Apple used to be the company of a thousand “no’s” yo get that just right “yes.” This just seems like everybody else. 
    Jfc save your crying until you've at least used the thing.
