Just rebuild with a later apk with revanced manager

It is, but like so many things in our current landscape, it’s also exhausting.

it’s not supposed to be

That’s the issue. That might be fine for you, but for others we would like it to be. The limitation isn’t hardware, so let the users decide whether they want it to be more than a big iPhone.

Here’s a thought: let’s collectively not give either of these idiots any more attention 🙄

As a fellow Jay who has also had to deal with Squirrels in the attic, I wholeheartedly concur. Squirrels - what a bunch of bastards.

Because when you have shareholders, there’s no such thing as “we’re profitable enough”. Shareholders always demand more. Ads means more profit, at least in the short term. Next quarter profits are all that matter to public companies.

It’s obscene, but it’s the way it is.

I don’t think anyone here is blaming the users, the comments are saying they shouldn’t be surprised.

Users blatantly violate TOS > company bans account > shocked Pikachu face

I agree with the above commenter that they should have expected this. I remember watching SnazzyLabs video about Beeper when it was about to come out, and the video essentially said ‘people have been doing this for awhile, I don’t think Apple will care about Beeper’ and I thought oh yes they will.

Do I think Apple is in the right here? No. Am I surprised they’re taking this action? Also no.

Seeing as I’m self employed, not much. Or maybe everything - could go either way.

I have a pack of these, although perhaps not this specific brand. I swear by them. Mini and micro usb can die in a fire please.

Google translate says “Zungenspitze” is the German word for “tip of tongue”.

I think the answer is obvious: because that’s what sells and is popular. There are all black cases to be found though such as this one for example.

“People are the worst”

About 20 years ago, while we waited at a red light, my wife and I saw a kid chase after his skateboard into an intersection. The oncoming traffic was coming over a blind hill. The driver didn’t have a chance to react.

The kid didn’t die, but the scene was horrific. It took me many days before I could fall asleep without seeing it in my mind, and to this day it stays with me.

That poor kid.

and they’re still at it

Mine is Sony. First the rootkit scandal, then the removal of Other OS from PS3s after featuring it as a selling point in the marketing. Totally deceptive and I won’t give them my money.

We as in Lemmy users probably don’t care about Twitter at all. But there are 100s of Millions of active Twitter users, so it’s no surprise this is in the news.

We don’t know yet, but the rumor mill says the setting will be geo locked. So probably not.

For everyone rejoicing in this thread, there’s no way Apple will allow this outside the EU. From the article:

We also found references to a region lock in this API, which suggests that Apple could restrict it to specific countries. This wouldn’t make sense for MDM solutions, but it does make sense for enabling sideloading in particular countries only when required by authorities – such as in the European Union.

I want side loading as much as the next guy, but Apple will only do the bare minimum to appease the EU regulations. Suck for those of us outside the EU.

I mean I was going to say Superman or something, but yours is way better 😆

Why? Honest question about your perspective.
