It’s quite clear you didn’t watch the video.

It’s a bit different when you have sponsored (by twitch) streamers giving literal terrorists a platform (such as a Houthi pirate who posts about personally murdering every jew), and sponsored stream events at the company con that rank people from Arab to Zionist/sabra, and banning all new users from israel IPs.

It’s not just about a stance not being taken, in fact it’s quite the opposite and twitch clearly has taken a stance.

This is all quite a bit far passed the whole “trying not to piss off one group or another” when their own rules are not followed consistently based on the person’s affiliation to the stance they’ve taken.

I’m not saying this should be news but you’re definitely being reductive with this comment calling this “every public platform ever”.

Fuck twitch, fuck the platforming and acceptance of Hamas/houthis/hazbollah right along with the IDF as well.

None of that shit belongs on a site aimed for literal children. The hot tub soft core porn was bad enough

One last thing… does it have to be considered news to be able to discuss things? Not sure why you even mentioned that as if whether something is “news” or not is what determines if it can be talked about? Who are you to dictate what someone thinks by simply posting a video like this?

Telling on yourself here quite a bit.

side-loading in iOS has been possible for some time now

Absolutely, in addition to this, you can sideload apps as well without issue. I do it all the time

and iOS supports sideloading, don’t twist reality. The elitism is dripping from every word of your comment. It’d be alright if your comments were based in reality but they aren’t :/

is it a fair comparison to draw when someone only knows how to use a VPN if it’s in the App Store

This whole thread is absurd, sideloading is possible on iOS, end of story. As per the original OP, their comment is 100% about sideloading

My message is clearly talking about side loading. Don’t twist my words.

This is why you don’t buy into closed-garden ecosystems like this.

You can absolutely set up a VPN without any app, thus your argument of how this is a reason why the walled-garden concept is flawed. iOS also has side-loading btw :)

There’s really only one choice if you care about freedom.

There really isn’t just one choice if you care about freedom, it’s ironic you think a singular choice is the way forward anyway when talking about freedom. Really interesting how you shape this narrative based on zero facts.

Lastly, I think it’s very funny that you think Google is someone you can trust to give you freedom

Nobody used the damn thing, but shuttering it makes them cowards? k

The fate of Mozilla is sad, I know one day they will announce a move to chromium.

why the fuck would they kill the thing that makes them money? Do you even understand what you are implying here??

There is, I just saw a post trying to demonize Mozilla simply because they had a few job listings for AI and Ad managers and the take away in the post itself was like “I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads”, like are you serious??? A few job listings is enough to paint the entire future of the company lol

Fuck yeah James Acaster is great

dealbreaker

are you fucking kidding me?? TEN MB IN 20 FUCKING 24.

Discord is such fuckin TRASH

This is the real story, they ain’t choosin shit. They’re being kicked the fuck out. Elon takin tips from DonOld T

it literally could not be anywhere else. Texas is a safe-space for oligarchs and bigots. That’s why Elon and Joe Rogan and all these other asshats left CA for TX.

As is Sessions

From the very beginning people were absolutely making connections between ai and tech jobs like programming.

The fuck are you talking about? Are you seriously trying to imply that now that it’s threatening tech jobs (it’s not) suddenly the narrative around how useful it will be changed (it didn’t)

Except for manager-level peeps who crave the power and control that comes from dictating how people live their lives under them

100% coincidence

And this phone cable damage only impacted youtube lol

FUCK these out of control capitalists jesus christ.
