I wish "social media drama" would be somewhere else than "technology". There is nothing in this story related to technology, it's about business, people, and politics.

Good for you. But perhaps fuck off, because some of us lost jobs, homes, and financial stability.

Why Buy Anything Else?

It seems to be the size of an air craft carrier.

Reddit can tell moderators who have locked their sub that they have a choice of opening it, or get removed as moderators and be replaced by admin appointees.

A hotel with back bone would not let a private non-profit mess about in their hotel room and put their things there. Regardless of if it was religious propaganda or pamphlets about immigration.

What a fucking hateful choice of colours. Green for blocking and red for allowing communication. Really shows what kind of perspective the creator has.

Everywhere else, red means stop and green means go. Here, the creator has chosen to reverse that to emphasize that they consider blocking to be good and allowing people to connect to be bad.

No attention is needed for the instances that are marked with red. They are federating.

What is the advantage of your viewer over a regular browser?

Those seem like desserts. Carbs, sugar, and cream. Not an ounce of protein.

I am not incredibly smart, but I am smart enough to be aware of my own shortcomings. And those confirm this. I do often find myself supporting irrational positions because I don't want things to go the way that lots of awful people want it to. My desire for their cause to fail is stronger than my rational ability to analyze what would actually be best. That's how the human mind works.

No. Once every few years. However, the gap in service is absolute disaster in modern society. Without a phone, you can't use public transport, can't pay for parking, can't get a taxi/uber/competitor, etc. etc.

Any "progress" that makes the turnaround time longer when your phone breaks is a horrible and unacceptable downside.

It was over the day the studios wanted to have their own services instead of licensing content to Netflix and competitors.

Are you maybe too young to know people who were actually working at the time. Obviously the life of a high schooler wasn't very affected.

Exactly. What a shitty anti-feature. Your answer proves that the people saying that "eSIMs are functionally the same as normal SIM" are full of absolute shit.

Financial explanation: Because it's cheaper to have all your users as involuntary testers, than to actually ensure app quality in-house.

The major function of a normal SIM is the ability to take it out of one device and put it into another one, effectively disconnecting my identity towards the network provider, from the handset. With eSIM, that doesn't exist, and if my phone breaks, it's unclear what happens.

To me, that's not secure, that's unsafe and insecure.

I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time.

If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?

Because there is no useful replacement. The people I want to follow are nowhere else. When major news sources left Twitter, they left to nowhere except their own websites. The end result is that I don't really keep up with the news anymore.
