That’s why the French protest all the time. They fight for their rights.

Good! That means less people drinking sugar!

Also, check if your instance has a Status page and bookmark it.

This is marketing. Showing the phone as a working product ready to be shipped is a tactic to scare off the competition, demonstrate that you have the upper hand, and entice customers to buy it.

That is marketing in our capitalist system. I’m not saying it’s right, just that it’s a fact.

That is the beauty of the Fediverse. If you don’t like how an instance is run, you can easily switch to another instance in Lemmy 0.19. We need to think of Lemmy instances as countries with their own laws, culture, and policies. So in my opinion, if you don’t like how an instance is run, you can easily switch to another instance.

Very insightful! /s

Explain your thought.

This is largely a North American problem. More than 50% of phones are iPhone, and the de facto texting for iPhone users is iMessage. While WhatsApp is the default IM for most of the rest of the world, it’s iMessage in North America.

It’s a bridge for notifications. Since Apple’s APN notification servers require a persistent connection to work, meaning that the application must be running continuously to receive notifications, the Beeper servers push those notifications (messages) to your phone.

This means that the application does not need to be running continuously to receive messages.

Not just in 'Merica, also in Canada eh.

As with all new inventions/procedures, this is just the first step. The process will become faster and more efficient in the future.

In my opinion, this is a great first step towards a Star Trek-like hypospray.

Well, you get what you pay for. It’s very cheap for a reason: you are the product.

I got an Apple TV in 2018 and it’s still working perfectly. Yes, it was expensive, but it has no ads, it’s still fast and responsive, and it still gets updates.

Because of Valve, Linux is finally my main OS. I’m a PC gamer and it was a pain in the ass to dual-boot between Windows and Linux.

But this worse than enshitification. These games are not free. There shouldn’t be ads in paid games.

On the contrary, AI specialists are in high demand and will be hired by Google, Microsoft and other companies within minutes.

Regular plasma customizable widgets. That’s the beauty of KDE.

What you’re seeing are outliers. Take a look at this list of coalition governments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_coalition_governments

There are plenty of functioning European countries (since we’re talking about the US) that have functioning and “normal” coalition governments.

It also depends on the parties that won and the system used to elect these officials. For example, if the most left-wing party came first, but the other two centrist parties came second and third, if the most left-wing party wants to govern, it will have no choice but to make some concessions in order to govern and put policies on the table that all parties will agree to.
