Dude is still simping for Musk. No sympathy.

I’m certainly not trying to be an Apple apologist here, as iMessage has plenty to critique. But it bears consideration that iMessage falling back to SMS is a certain amount of openness, is it not?
Not an unfair complaint against Apple, but ignores Google’s/Android’s problematic “support” for RCS, and in this context of this comment seems to imply that What’sApp isn’t “closed” like iMessage.
apple hates open standards
What about WhatsApp is open?
Consider me subscribed! As much as I like r/xbiking, I like that you chose not to copy the name.
Nuked and deleted my numerous alts over the past few days. Nuked and deleted my main and oldest account (14 years) just a few hours ago.
Might spool up that self-hosted lurk-only software to still browse, but I’m not posting another word on there.
The “non-commercial” requirement to exempt third party accessibility apps is extremely underhanded and not being talked about enough.
How hard was it to set up an instance? I’m fairly decent with these things, and could spool up an shared server, but have never used Docker if that’s the best way.
Twitter’s definitely didn’t.
I don’t know… 50% of their top advertisers have left, and their advertising income is down 60%. I’m no longer there, so I can’t speak to overall user engagement, but with their revenue cratering, I’m not sure how long it is destined for this world.
Cycling communities, specifically the non-judgemental welcoming r/xbiking.
I thank you for your response, and generally think you are right. Perhaps I should rephrase my question a bit to: is the existence of multiple communities on a given subject a feature of Lemmy (perhaps even unique to Lemmy) we should expect and embrace, or do you think communities coalescing into few/one will occur naturally?
No doubt. I was careful not to give Apple credit for WebKit’s open source status, but nonetheless it remains surprising to me that Apple participates in open source software all.
Four of five times, you’re right about Apple’s M.O. But every once in awhile they surprise me like with their WebKit activity.
What was striking about that episode was that they weren’t going “back” to the internet [in some bygone era], it was the internet as it stood presently. And because “presently” was 199x, it feels today like the “old web.”
Honestly, I’d trust a vanilla iPhone over that hacked together mess you’ve got going there.
