Edit: Actually looks you can do iPhone to Android transfer now: https://faq.whatsapp.com/1295296267926284 or Android to iPhone https://faq.whatsapp.com/686469079565350

Original response below:

That's really a WhatsApp product issue, not an OS issue. There's some hints of an OS issue, because Android lets WA put a backup file on the 'sd card' that you can transfer across to a new (Android) phone, and iOS doesn't (or didn't), and with cloud backups the different OSes both tie into their own clouds.

But the main issue is the WA iOS app and the WA Android app have different schemas for their on device database, which makes it not so easy to move. Maybe that has changed since I stopped working there, but that was the biggest issue with a switch platforms feature that I was aware of. It's a lot of coordination for a feature that most users are never going to use, and if they do use, likely aren't going to use it more than once. When I recently got a new Android, I did see there's a new transfer data flow for at least Android to Android, so maybe there's hope for cross OS data exchange in the future? It's also helpful that there's only two relevant platforms now, instead of 7 (s40, s60, blackberry, blackberry 10, windows phone are all dead)
I've wanted to write something like this for years! For me it's always long running rsync commands I want to chain.

Yeah that’s my microgeneration, xennials, alright.

We grew up with analog childhoods and transitioned to a digital lifestyle during the mid-90s with the early web during our teenage years

I had to teach my parents how to use basic office equipment like printers. Meanwhile my nephew knows everything about mobile but never learned to type on an actual keyboard.

Kinda blessed to be born when I was. I have seen GenZ try to call us digital nomads but I’ll take this any day. Sad to see how kids are growing up today with no concept of privacy or living offline.
Yeah, it's definitely marketing.
It'll shamble on forever. Look at the front page in a private tab right now.

Yeah it's all dogshit content, but this is the product now. All the niche communities that made reddit good were dying a slow death well before any of the API stuff.

That old product is dead, the current reddit will live forever as long as they can get costs under control.

What's interesting about the legal system is that it is intentionally vague. As in, you can make all different kinds of arguments and the judge and jury decide.

iPhone is does not have an overwhelming market share of phones in the US. But Apple does have a complete monopoly on "iPhone apps" (and "app stores" and "iPhone payment services"). So the government certainly can make a case that they are abusing those monopolies.

Whether or not the judge and juries will agree is the thing we are all going to be watching for.
First Human to Receive Neuralink Implant Says It Lets Him Play Civilization VI
You cannot use Facebook without creating an account and giving them a shit ton of data about yourself and your entire network. That data is what is used to show ads on all their properties and all over the internet. Reddit's user base on the other hand is mostly anonymous.
It's not going to replace the existing job boards. It would be an addition.

Plus hiring is typically done by non-technical people. They're not going to update a markdown file in a Git repository.
Charging 30% is outrageous to me, but it also appears to be the standard used by almost all of their competitors. It'll be interesting to see how the government convicts Apple of doing something that almost all other large companies are doing.

It's a no-win situation for them. If once they established themselves as the dominant player in the cell phone market they started undercutting everyone else on fees that could also be seen as predatory.
> If an entire business is seasonal, it makes sense to prioritize heavy lift projects to the off-season

One form of seasonality is associated with financial years, in some industries. I found this working on contracts for UK govt agencies, where the FY runs from April to March. The customers usually procrastinated about letting contracts, which sometimes wouldn't appear until after the summer or even just before Christmas. Then there was a mad panic from Jan to March to actually spend the money and submit those deliverables. It followed that the time to do training, internal projects, housekeeping etc, was in April and May.

> It works because there's an external force pushing on the surface of the phone

Which then gets transmitted by the surface of the phone to the rest of the phone.

> not equally on all its parts

Yes, equally on all its parts, once you take into account that the parts of the phone can exert forces on each other.

> the cause of this is what you fail to explain

Cause of what? The internal forces? That's obvious: the distances between adjacent atoms change, and the electromagnetic forces between adjacent atoms are distance dependent. In other words, as I have already pointed out, the size and shape of the object changes when it is accelerated (in the sense of proper acceleration), compared to when it is not. Or, to put it another way, the equilibrium state of the object is different when it is accelerated than when it is not, with different inter-atomic distances and therefore different internal forces (as in, nonzero internal forces when accelerated, compared to zero when not).
Yes.

With all of these examples. The trick seems to be in 'how'. Everyone can read this article, or a Buddhist text, or some Stoic essays, and agree and think it would be a good idea.

The 'how' to get there, seems to be the gap.

Everyone agrees having 'purpose' is great. The 'how to find a purpose' is the problem. Not just intellectually 'decide on a purpose', but 'believe in a purpose'.
What? Reddit owes their entire platform to their volunteer moderators and users who contribute content. Reddit the company adds almost nothing of value, the tech isn't exactly special -- if anything it's so bad as to be hindrance.
Setting the phone to not ring for unknown numbers is also powerful, but to make it work best you need a way to be able to "add" numbers remotely.

I wish it was more intelligent; I'd love to tell it what area codes to permit; the advantage of having a phone from half way around the country is that I only care about a few area codes and the scammers don't know which ones those are.
it would take all of about 3 seconds to realize why an unlimited character count would break the site's layout and know that it will never happen.

Direct link to the complaint itself: https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/9765671b...

Pages 29-31 of the complaint are especially relevant to read for many of us in web development and who value open systems, as they detail the intentionality of Apple's strategy to restrict so-called "super apps" from becoming portals for arbitrary web applications. And page 42+ describes restrictions on alternate digital wallets.

There's a lot here beyond the original headlines, and it's incredibly relevant to read or skim directly.
It's a pity really. The phones were quite good. But they failed for the exact issue under discussion: app store compatibility! They didn't have access to either Android or iOS apps.
I'm working on some apple airplay on non-apple platforms, what a pain.

Apple is worse than Microsoft from the past, I mean, 10x or more closed.

FWIW, my reaction to the Link example was pretty much "Why do I have to build this, why isn't such a basic thing that any project would want not batteries-included?". Not the greatest first impression.
Actually, I believe what you want is 3mm, which I believe they use in accounting. Lowercase m in this instance would stand for milli-, as in thousand. So 3mm would be 3 thousand thousand. 3M is technically correct, though confusing in this specific case. Capital M would indicate Mega, as in the progression from kilobit to megabit to gigabit.
Yeah, I don't understand what he even means.

How does this not exist?? If there was a further problem with their idea why did he describe it in the way of something that not only exists but is super popular? Has he grown completely out of touch or what's going on?

If you use lemmy.ml, sure. Or if you don't curate a frontpage of your own topics, sure. But I joined through some unaligned Scandinavian instance, found topics I like, and stay away from the /r/all equivalent, and it's just as tolerable as Reddit, if less populous.

It's been many decades since the USA government attempted to go after a vertical trust. During my lifetime, almost all anti-monopoly action has been against horizontal trusts: companies that gain too much market share for some particular product or service. But there was a time, a long time ago, almost a century ago, when it was common for the government to do this kind of thing, for the benefit of the consumer.
> discovered microwave energy could be used to heat stuff

It was already well known that EM waves / photons could heat things, sunlight to give the most obvious example.

His discovery was how effectively specific frequency ranges¹ can be at heating food by exciting the water within – effectively enough that the technique once refined would be useful for commercial and even domestic cooking, safely and at practical cost.

[1] domestic ovens use ±2.45GHz, 915MHz is also effective and used in larger commercial ovens as it can penetrate deeper into the material being heated

It is amusing that the arguments for this are like "it reduces anxiety" and "it's good for your heart". Like... yes... in that it makes you happier or more fulfilled or whatever, and therefore it has those effects? But if what draws you to a philosophy is the health benefits... you're fucked.
Any org? Would, for example, openai be included in your definition of "any org"?

Look, "in principle" stuff is not how the real world works. AFAIK, hacks happen mostly because of carelessness. No one cares because no one cares if they care (and the compensations etc reflect that). I know enough such cases in fintech (forget about other verticals), which are mostly stupid like wrong RBAC, open firewall, AWS keys taken by roommate etc and not public of course.

Generalized social media is looking more and more like a mistake. There were previously forums, and they were centered around a topic. Then Reddit and Facebook came around and killed those by making it easy to create and find those communities. Now they're coming back. I want a local equivalent to Reddit, without the rest of Reddit. Beyond that, I don't need more social media that has no link to my IRL activities.

Also, the comparison to MySpace isn't fair. Tom was far cooler than spez ever will be.

> If the DOJ accomplishes nothing else besides forcing Apple to open up iMessage, it will be a victory.

Couldn't Apple just make the shittiest Android iMessage client anyone could ever imaging and the go "See, there it is, nobody wants it"

My take is that Apple has engineered iMessage in such a way that if anyone could just use it, then Apple would be stuck with a massive bill for running the infrastructure, without any benefits. They could in theory charge people a small amount to cover the cost, but that would also just keep people of the platform. WhatsApp made next to nothing when they attempted to charge people and Signal rely on donations. There's no way to push a for-pay messaging app.

iMessage being Apple only isn't what keeps me from buying an Android phone (Google manages to do that all by themselves). I already have three messaging apps on my phone, and four on my laptop, there's plenty of choice on that front.
>In the last ten years, no other vendor has been able to successfully place a new OS on the market.

How much of this is because of evil monopoly forces, and how much of it is because users prefer iOS and Android? It's not like the mobile device market snapped into existence overnight, both Android and iOS beat out Blackberry and managed to fend off Microsoft.
I’m curious if you’ve implemented a rich text editor with this. I think Google Docs uses canvas. I hate the browser APIs for rich text and wonder if this could be more a viable candidate than using contenteditable for future projects
I don't notice this at all. Old communities die off and new ones spring up all the time, and the new ones are still springing up alright. The local subs are doing well, there are still plenty of "less popular" subs to have great discussions in. The app is not great not terrible, no biggie.

They rather consciously decided that jettisoning some hard-core techies, privacy people and other "weirdos" is an acceptable price to pay for more mass appeal and more profitability. Remember, you as a user are not the client of Reddit Inc, you're the product. You or I may not like that direction, but we're not great products anyway. I block ads for Pete's sake, I am literally worthless to them.

> (What's the point of it otherwise?)

How else would the hotel staff enter the room when the current occupant is locked in the room, but dead or some lesser medical emergency condition?
I don't really understand. Is the article saying that how to find meaning in life is by rejecting grand narratives and finding meaning in small things? That sounds to me like saying that how to find meaning in life is by... finding meaning in it. Don't get me wrong, it does seem correct to stop seeking your one true passion, embrace lifelong learning, letting go of lofty financial goals, and stop feeling like your only goal should be saving the world. But I'm not clear on why or how we should, in the "ikigai worldview", find meaning in doing these things.

Really, it seems to me that the implication in the article is that the question "how do I find meaning in life?" is basically the wrong question to ask, that life is not the kind of thing that has meaning, and that we should instead just focus on being happy, which can be accomplished by small things. That would make sense to me.

Though I prefer the western idea that there is a grand life purpose. The 4 "ikigai principles" are perfectly compatible with there being a grand life purpose - that there is a grand narrative in which we are partaking doesn't mean that every individual person has be some world-renowned entrepreneur or something. An analogy - a team of stonemasons working on building a cathedral may each individually be working on a small piece of the final building that, to the individual, doesn't appear very meaningful or important. But the sum total of the work of all the stonemasons culminates in something grand and beautiful.
The dating argument seems outlandish but it's a legit problem that Android phones ruin group messaging functions that iMessage offers so they'll be left out.
Ugh, this entire thread will be a frustrating exercise in folks insisting their feel-feels are the law of the land because they hate Apple and that takes precedence over facts and reality.

> So if there are 2 competitors and one drops out, then it's hardcore illegal, but otherwise it's a-okay?

No, it is absolutely not. There is nothing illegal about having a monopoly in the US. The government even explicitly and purposefully creates and grants monopolies pretty often. Natural monopolies are not illegal. Abusing your government-granted or natural monopoly is the illegal behavior.

I'm curious to see how they even construe a duopoly as a monopoly under current law, because this will have some profound impacts to the entire economy if they succeed.
Same, I like Apple hardware and while the OS experience has suffered recently, it’s great as a tool to get things done. But making Music.app and other services part of the ecosystem has not been a great move. Some things should allow for interoperability so that the user can make his choices. I think Apple has been too heavily handed in imposing its services to users.
Curiously, it is repeatable in my personal experience. I find everything goes better (and I mean everything), when I listen and don't stubborly do things my way. More at my web site (in profile, tech-simple, nothing for sale).
I can't understand the appeal behind Discord for general communities. Everything is one giant persistent group chat--there's no discrete threads or posts to search, at least not in the servers I'm in. Sad that so many companies are opting for Discord for building communities.
You know, this is simply not true.

I have found old buried plastic bags, from supermarkets - I remember the bag style from just a few years ago. The bags had severely degraded. When I tried to pick one up, it fell apart into small pieces, what integrity it had was gone. I've had the same experience with bags left in lofts - they degrade.

From my personal experience, I therefore assume that plastics already disintegrate after about 10 years, not 100 or 500 years, as you state.

I'm simply stating factors that are not insignificant compared to the difference we are talking about.

the policy discussion starts with cost-benefit analysis of "implicit profile-based ads" vs "alternative ads", and I'm simply stating that there are already many factors that ad networks consider.

FB/Meta rolled out Advantage+, which is a machine-learning-based full campaign optimization system. (The advertiser uploads many banners, and Meta tries all of them for various target groups, and learns which one to show for which users.) ... and it did all this because of Apple's ATT (app tracking transparency)
