Maybe the most reasonable interpretation of people's professed desire to not ban books places them into two categories: books that inspire acts of terrorism or are otherwise tantamount to inciting, and books which introduce political or personal concepts which a small number of people object to. Eliding the difference between the two seems a little absurd, if I may say so.
I owned a Pixel 1 and a Pixel 3 and they were two of the worst phones I have ever owned. You couldn't pay me to take another Pixel phone. I now rock a much cheaper Motorola which is fantastic.
Right, if you pay someone, now you generally get a warranty. That's orthogonal to proprietary vs. FOSS.
How are these licensed?

That’s the first thing I need to know and I can’t find it.
Android devices have "Nearby Share" now. Works basically the same as Airdrop. I use it to beam documents to my eReader all the time.

If you need to copy a file to a computer all you need is a cable and a decent OS that supports MTP and you can then just drag the file off like a USB drive. It's great and requires no special software unless you like fruit flavored computers.

One of the things I really like about my Samsung phone is I can have an alphabetical ordering of my apps in the drawer. With iOS you have to painstakingly rearrange every app to get that or use the shitty hidden alphabetical scrolling list they finally graced everyone with after 14 years.

I switched from an iPhone XS to Android. XS still works, had a choice, just got tired of Apples shit.
except rates are gonna keep going up, meaning your principle would decline in value.
I'm going to echo another comment and recommend reading the whole essay if possible to get a full picture.

In my opinion, point 3 is closely related to points 2, 4, and 11. Point 3 specifically notes that in fascism, thinking itself is emasculation - hence action taken without thinking, for its own sake. At least in Germany, we can see this rejection of thinking as a rejection of the intelligentsia and a perceived "elite" (which feeds into point 6). We can get a more full picture looking at points 2 and 4, which discusses the rejection of modernity to see that this rejection of thinking also derives from a fear that thinking can lead to criticism, and that this rational process leads to modernity and away from the traditionalist values often espoused by fascist leaders. The idea here is that to think isn't to improve action, it is to undermine society itself, and to identify the inherent contradictions and pointlessness within fascism. In a different direction, point 3's identification that thinking is _emasculating_ links to point 11's identification of fascism's cult of heroism and machismo. The aesthetic judgment thus becomes that the citizens of fascism do not need to think, and that there is only beauty in rushing into struggle.

In short, the cult of action for action's sake expresses Eco's identification of fascism as necessarily irrational, and thinking before acting would undermine this. Fascism also turns action outwards, at its many perceived enemies, glorifying violence as a means of self-perpetuation, and creating both a cult of action, and the citizens who take action.
This seems a little bit like a good thing to me. I agree it’s important to have at least two good options. Whenever one company has too much market share things stagnate.

Android is now at 70%. The closer that gets to 50% the better. I don’t care if that’s because Apple gets closer to 50%, or if they stay near 25% and new competitors take up the rest.

The US has always skewed marketplace percentages. My understanding is in many countries Android had a massive majority. The less that’s the case, the better I think things will be for consumers.

I have no idea if they will try it again someday, but I would love to see Microsoft give this another go. I think strong messaging about "quality over quantity" of apps would actually be a boon to them. I never go looking in the App Store for new apps anymore - just give me my video streamers, a Reddit client, Spotify, Slack, Discord, and Signal and I'm good to go.
She seems to be after some hidden truth that "scientists" are not telling us. I’d be more appreciative of her insights if those were not implying we’ve been lied to. She should consider that 1. Being wrong is ok, doesn’t mean someone’s lying. 2. Maybe she is wrong. 3. Interpretations of quantum mechanics are fun and there’s nothing to be angry at. So I’m a bit skeptical about her skepticism, it doesn’t sound constructive to me.
> Maybe someone should tell twitter, google, etc that science isn't supposed to work on consensus. Politics works on consensus.

The ads are politics, not science.

This is a case of twitter's political stance being at odds with some of their potential advertisers.

I don't see why advertisers should have some right here that overrides twitter's.

> authoritarian

If you're interested in liberty here, you should be backing twitter's right to do this.
This is really where Facebook can excel against Apple. Although I do prefer my messages to be more like emails and texts - not platform-bound. Currently I have to have Whatsapp, Messenger, Viber, Telegram, Signal to talk to diff groups of people. Why isn't there a unified protocol and system?
If you want to make stuff for the people who chose to impose the Apple platform between you and them, that's what you deal with. It's a choice.

Maybe the breaking churn in Apple is what brings the novelty seekers, and their money.

Unity and whatever breaking and not running well on older hardware has to do with people buying new hardware. Those are the people who bring the money to the table, which is what you must want a piece of if you have your neck in that toilet bowl.
> Stop tending other peoples' gardens. Especially trillion dollar companies' ones.

Meanwhile, Apple built their castle in TSMC's kingdom ...
The thing is, zero people I regularly chat with (SF bay area) use iMessage. Most people in my US friend group use Signal, the rest use Facebook, and many of my international contacts use Whatsapp.
> A UN backed science panel. Great. If there is one thing we all know about the UN, it's that the UN isn't political. An institution ruled by the US, Russia, China, Britain and France. Seems very trustworthy to me.

A solid philosophy of science is difficult to live up to in the real world, but I guarantee that "I don't know anything about the IPCC but I see it's organized through the UN so I know enough to dismiss it" is not it.
> Fiat aren't less "online/digital" than crypto, they're less "cash" than crypto in the sense that no third party can prevent you from receiving or sending it.

That's not what the GP was claiming, but even this is debatable. With in-person cash, it's generally impossible for anyone to prevent your from doing a transaction.

But with BTC, it's not that hard to prevent a vendor from shipping the item to you, even if they can't prevent the transfer from going through. Perhaps Monero is indeed untraceable, but as long as your buying physical goods, those need to be delivered to some physical address, and can be traced that way.

I use an iPhone but I was surprised the OP mentioned price as a reason to switch.
So you want a more authoritarian government to clamp down on what businesses can and cannot do? Seems contrary to the freedom everyone on this website seems to be enamoured with. I’d expect private enterprises (emphasis on the word private) to be able to do just about whatever they want with their businesses in a “free” system.
Wired, you can do 10Gb/s for server systems, which are, amongst other things very loud and not very suitable for placement anywhere near humans.

Go publish evidence in a scientific journal or stop pretending you're a scientist.
You could just ask everyone to install Signal or even WhatsApp? They're friends of yours, so it seems like the least they can do for you.
Hmm, I have never heard anyone mention "knowing its... unencrypted" I doubt most iOS users would care about that, realistically. Note that the experience is bad in both directions (at least for me in Signal on Android I get to endure a lot of 'so and so loved whole-text-of-previous-message' instead of just a heart emoji - I see that GOOG has improved things Messages recently to parse those, at least)
> most banks are highly levered, meaning they're lending out, say, 10× the cash they hold, so they never "have too much cash on hand".

Reconsider what your stating here. If I have 10$, and I can therefore lend out 100$, but I only have requests to borrow 50$, then I have "too much cash". If I however had requests to borrow 200$, the I would need to find another 10$, for instance by promising someone a higher interest rate on their accounts. The fact that banks do fractional reserve does in no way guarantee that they do not end up having more cash on hand than they need to cover the demand for loans.
Not the OP, but for me this is a matter of principle. If you don't have root on your device, it isn't yours, its the manufacturer's, and you're simply renting it. I rarely if ever actually use my root access for anything, but I guess I'm just philosophically opposed to buying a device designed to ensure I don't control it. Doubly so for a device that's so critical and enmeshed in my private life.
Mobs that try to force their own views on others are common. PTAs, or strong willed individuals with kids in school, are mob experts. Good things have come out of those mobs. Amsterdams good bicycle infrastructure was built on mob rule instead of listening to "rational engineers" who wanted to build motorways through the city.
I mean, the consensus is that using FOSS to provide SaaS and not providing source isn't really FOSS. It doesn't award the four freedoms, and is basically a hack to make FOSS back into proprietary software rather than some gotcha.

Sometimes recompiling into a new version of Xcode is required and that can result in very painful edits. While locally you can do whatever, apple often requires you to be using a very recent sdk (sometimes for good reasons like OS security of privacy changes)
It's a niche/small ISP, which mostly targets advanced users.

Though for regular users, they can get 10Gb/s for half the price of init7 with other isps (but probably worse peering as mentioned in the post).
Yes, the op’s numbers are using post split prices.
What did you try? I'm using Conversations on mobile and Gajim on various workstations and they sync nicely (I think?).

Q-Anon is cooky, but also fringe. A lot of left-wing commentators are making a big deal about. But it’s limited to a handful of small, non-Silicon Valley, social media sites (not even apps!).

I’m much more worried about the low quality crap on Facebook than Q-Anon,

The worst isn’t even “disinformation”, it doesn’t bother to deal in fact.

“Press like if you remember when Americans loved their country!”

“Student loan forgiveness punishes everyone who everyone who worked their way through college!”

“Remember the ‘Socialist’ in ‘National Socialist.’”

Just low quality crap that riles people up.

Facebook does a good job filtering out actual Q-Anon stuff, but every now and then I’ll see whacky stuff - both left and right.

“JK Rowling chose her pen name after one of the proponents of gay conversion therapy.”

She didn’t but that didn’t stop all the trans activists I’m friends with for believing it.

That’s craps still up.
What does that have to do with smart phones?
Why not? It seems obvious to me that a UN committee will be under a lot of political pressure to bend the truth, where it is in conflict with politics. And I have seen many, many examples of committees bending the truth. Why is this one different?
I can’t tell if this is intended to apply to the artwork or just the code in the repository. Are illustrations “software”?
Best case, check out your code, bump the version number, touch up your copyright date, hit "Run", do your testing¹, hit upload, have a sandwich, check it out in TestFlight, approve a release, maybe check a few boxes that say you aren't shipping super secret encryption technology to shunned nations.²

But usually after a few years Xcode will bitch at you about a lot of stuff, so maybe you raise the minimum OS version requirement, click "Fix it" on a lot of API respellings, find a couple that it can't automatically fix so you have to google that a bit. Then test and upload.

Maybe get in a fight with Xcode over your signing keys.

Sometimes something you were using gets deprecated and you have to use the newer replacement. That takes some coding.

It can get ugly if the 'owner' in the app store is not you or is an entity you no longer control. Then you have to get them involved to do the chain of trust signing.

If you produced it under contract, you may not be legally allowed to update it without a new contract.

¹ do your testing is easy to say, but that could take an arbitrarily long time depending on how thorough you are. I expect this to be the dominant cost for most game updates.

² I pulled out one of my aging apps and just did all this to check, 10 minutes from "checkout" to "installed in TestFlight". The dreaded App Store review was 3 minutes. This isn't really a fair data point though, Xcode didn't suggest any source code changes so it was just bumping numbers and rebuilding.
If you interpret vi as the root (my preference for songs in a minor key) then that ii is a minor IV.
Scientists are not publishing ads on Twitter for their theories. Corporations are.

What people are defending is corporate consensus, because ultimately that's who puts up ads that contradict the current research around climate change. Corporations have reached a generalized consensus that climate change isn't a problem to worry about right now, because to accept the opposite means change that would affect their business and profits.

These two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Sometimes scientific consensus can be artificially created through the use of corporate backers; but a little bit of logical deduction in this scenario should make it obvious that the people with the largest profit incentives are those that have a vested interest in claiming climate change isn't an issue.

That said, people arguing that scientific consensus doesn't exist is remarkably ignorant. It should take time and effort for any theory you publish to make its way to the forefront because otherwise you end up with a flood of charlatans, corporations and otherwise submitting bunk science in order to further their own profit or political motives.
You need to recompile/submit with the newest xcode, which is not feasible for games as that would mean having to upgrade the engine.
It literally takes three taps to allow apps from an "unknown source".
I don’t think no-code exists. It is a fools errand. No matter what the tools are for your profession - Photoshop, Unity, SolidWorks, Wordpress, or some new No or Low-code stack - you will quickly realize that having someone skilled in the tool is extremely desirous. For software development that person is a software engineer.

This no-code thing has existed forever. It’s a base set of software that is customizable as needed to fulfill the needs of your specific use-case. The rebranding to something that never requires custom work is once again a big lie.

Any sufficiently advanced tool eventually recreates the act of programming - putting pieces of building blocks together logically in advanced ways to fulfill a task. Dragging widgets around and typing conditionals in form elements is just another (slower, worse, more error-prone, restrictive) way of developing applications.
Oh boy I feel for you. Is it because of the house/street or a general issue in London?

> does anyone, in good faith, truly believe that's where it will stop?

If you see the actions of Twitter, et al. as stemming not from a desire to flex power over society but merely as a desire to not be exposed to claims that they're profiting directly from and complicit in harmful disinformation campaigns, then it is reasonable to expect that they won't go too much further.

They've certainly dragged their heels thus far. They're clearly trying to put the minimum moderation effort to avoid getting hit by more serious public outcry or government interference, which naturally gives rise to a very error-prone moderation scheme.
Kind of but it's not a practical option, Google made it as painful as possible

Yup. One place where this binary gets problematic is what's called "loitering munitions" - basically a cruise missile that stays up in the air for a while looking for targets, and when its sensors pick something up it hits like any missile.

Very similar devices developed from drones tend to instead get called "suicide drones".

One possible way to distinguish the two might be the level of communication with a controller or launch platform, but even then the line isn't quite clear - what about a CLOS guided missile?
Exactly, Elon keeps coming up with these crazy new markets for Tesla because you at least need some semblance of possibility that it could grow forever. The recent robot portrayed with a person in a robot costume seems like a desperate last minute grasping at straws to keep stock prices climbing.
I'm sorry, but I fail to understand your argument here.

Either you are Edward Snowden or Elliot, there is no written rule to use every single Apple services in order to use iPhone.

I've been using iPhone for almost a decade and the only feature I only ever use is Find My Iphone for obvious reason.

And what stops you for doing that in iPhone?
If I expressed a preference for unmoderated online spaces, I did not intend to. I much prefer consistent and authoritative moderation of explicitly communicated rules. It's really the third part of that I think we're missing.
Scientism as the new religion. This gradual shift from the feeling-based dogmas to dogmas based on shallow knowledge is, in fact, a sign of progress, that the majority of the populace starts putting knowledge before feelings.
I was an Android person, mainly because I didn't want to spend >400 on a device (my OP3 lasted 5 years for 400 eur, ran Lineage). But there were no high end smaller smartphones. I got an iPhone 12 mini (2x what I normally paid), after getting used to it, I just feel there isn't a big difference between the 2 OSs. I like the high end feel, good cam, but Android phones of that price have that too. All my fav apps are there (with the exception of Gadgetbridge). It just works well for a self hoster (Home Assistant, NextCloud, don't even need davx5 for web/caldav), just as well as Android.
Googler, opinions are my own. I don't work anywhere near phone stuff.

I assume your friend has tried all the debugging on this page? https://support.google.com/messages/answer/9363493?hl=en My wife's phone keeps failing to connect and we have to do the carrier services reset to make it work. A terrible solution to me requiring factory resetting your phone.

But even then, I have a friend that was never able to get RCS to work on his phone, and he spent multiple hours with Google support trying to figure it out. There is something wrong with his account on Google and the carriers side (he tried multiple phones, and it never worked). The RCS team definitely has some corner cases to work out getting everyone activated, because it leads to really bad stories like this.
And Init7 is solid quality (and probably the perfect ISP for people who like to have fun with their network), but not exactly cheap for Zurich. You can get like 10Gb/s for half the price with other ISPs.

This is risible. Next we'll cry a tear for all the good scientists who can not get heard with their findings that Tobacco is harmless after all?

There has been concerted funding and propaganda _against_ the science by an industry that is literally earning billions a week.

Others have already pointed out that it's always been hard to go against the consensus in science. It's supposed to be hard. The consensus became the consensus for a reason. Overthrowing it is a monumental effort that gets you into the history books.

This is not what this is about and this is not what is going on here though. In the 80s serious scientists debated man made global warming. They raised objections, and contradicted the models. Eventually all the reasonable and important objections were addressed. The debate settled. The evidence came in. We now have 30 years of observational data on top of that!

And _now_ people complain that there is no scientific debate! No one was paying attention when the debate happened! That's why you are getting the conclusion! That's why people who object are told "Yeah we covered this, check the papers." Which doesn't feel like debate but in reality just shows that the person coming in hasn't done their due diligence or isn't arguing in good faith.
git reset does like 25 different things.
I think you have successfully illustrated the failure of "global south" as a replacement term.

Science relies heavily on a consensus of observations and a consensus on the analysis of those observations. Reproduction is creating aa consensus

Plenty of scientists have broken with consensus without a new consensus forming around their models.

"Scientists have consensus about X" is something science communicators say. It's about how easy it is to describe the evidence to laypeople than what the evidence is.
By optimistic, I meant the idea that humans would be around for 600
years.
I must say I find it quite dishonest and hypocritical to use examples of theories which didn't impact humans' lives at all, or, if they did, only on the level of an individual -- to use these examples as a comparison with climate change. These beliefs have nothing to do with climate change which effects have already started being visible for decades now. This has nothing to do with medicine, it's biology, geology, meteorology. Hundreds of species are disappearing, sea level rises are undeniable, temperatures are rising as well and forest fires are increasing. These are facts.
