I think the T2 was to insinuate that it was “Twitter 2”. I didn’t understand the rebrand, because, even though it’s been a few years, Pebble to me is still associated with the smart watch.

I actually signed up and used it a little, but I put up a funny post with a Corvette that had a wheel off sitting on wood blocks with the caption, “When Rednecks get Corvettes! 🤣” It was a stupid little joke, but my post was flagged as offensive and removed. At that point I made one more post explaining what had happened, and that I was going to be leaving the platform. I left the post up for a couple of weeks and then deleted my account. If that was considered offensive, my sarcastic self didn’t stand a chance on that platform.

I’m not surprised they didn’t get any traction.

Unless she doesn’t like who you’re married to! (Taps forehead)

I’ll see your Kathleen Turner and raise you a Nina Blackwood.

What I want is for all of the companies to, use a common (preferably open) standard for messaging as a default. I don’t give a shit which it is. Ideally they would all do so voluntarily because it’s the right thing to do for their users. Since Apple refuses to let anyone else use iMessage, RCS was created, and made available to be used, even by Apple.

So Apple came up with a great system that encourages people to stay in the ecosystem, and Google is mad about it. So Google comes up with an iMessage clone, and now they’re pitching a fit that everybody won’t jump onto their implementation. Which, while RCS is open, Google’s implementation is not. “Apple is locking everyone into their system! Make them stop so we can get them locked into ours!”

But apparently Apple can’t be bothered to play nice with others no matter what because all they care about is squeezing every possible dollar they can out of their suckers, I mean users.

Wait… wait… you think Apple (or any other company for that matter) should do what’s best for those that aren’t they’re customers?? So I’m going to say this again a little louder for the people in the back - Apple is under no obligation to modify the way their products work to promote the competition, which will lose them sales. And as an Apple stockholder, I’m beyond fine with that.

at which point Apple fanboys/girls start bitching because the text bubbles are ‘the wrong color’ which it’s seriously the most ridiculous first-world problem I’ve ever heard of.

Wait…… isn’t this the whole point of the article? Samsung and Google are bitching because they don’t want to be green bubbles. Don’t make it out like this is all iPhone users. Google has had I can’t count how many substandard messaging apps, but now they’ve developed their own proprietary format and are crying for Apple to support it.

So let me get this straight, Google & Samsung want Apple to be forced to do something that will cost Apple sales and increase sales for their competitors. Good luck with that.

I will never - NEVER - forgive them for shutting down Google Reader. That’s the closest I’ve come to cutting everything Google out of my life, and I’m still salty about it today.

I hate it when my apps shit down. 🤣

Y’know, I just posted about this in a comment chain on the original McDonald’s hot coffee lawsuit. Someone was arguing that the lady was responsible and not McDonald’s The court can find more than one entity at fault and by percents, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In the coffee case, they found the lady 20% at fault and McDonald’s 80% at fault. In this case, if it’s been reported to Google multiple times and they still haven’t fixed it, I can see the court finding them 10% or 20% at fault, and the entity that’s supposed to maintain the road and the sign 80%-90% at fault.

Y’all are arguing like it has to be one and only one party at fault.

Uhh, you forgot about your insurance cost, tag fee, and driver’s license fee.

Read all about it in this month’s issue of DUH.

Looks like it’s time for me to sell my Roku stock that I bought during the pandemic when their price was constantly going up.

To be fair, it’s pretty telling that I have a TV with built in Roku, but I only use it to access my Apple TV which is faster and smoother.

They’ll never quit quitting!

I mean, a large number (including me) are here because of Reddit’s actions. I don’t so much mind seeing what stupid thing Reddit is doing now, because it makes me feel better about being here.

“Looks like you’ve been missing a lot of work lately.”

“I wouldn’t say I’ve been missing it, Bob.”

I am glad to stand corrected.

This man is a national treasure.
