Exactly. The app developers were willing to make changes but they didn’t give them nearly enough time to do it. They dropped the changes at the last-minute and then lied about what they and the developers said in their private conversations. Then they got mad at the Apollo dev for recording it to cover their ass. It’s like getting mad at your partner when you cheated on them lol.

I use mine everyday. I listen to music, podcasts, and sometimes watch videos at work, basically the entire time I’m working. I usually have my phone connected and charging at the same time through the charge port. Wireless charging doesn’t work because of my Pop Socket.

They also break or I lose them in occasion and it takes a quick trip to any gas station, grocery store, or basically any nearby store during my lunch break, and I’m able to pick up replacements for $10-$20.

Fair to say, I refuse to buy my next phone without headphone jacks. I do use wireless headphones for when I’m working out, but otherwise, at work or on walks, I use wired ones connected to my headphone jack.

I’m excited!

I’m excited for the scaling sort.

Right? I know Sam Altman sucks but I don’t know if he was fired for more profit or less, or what exactly is going on. I’m not sure how to react to these articles besides surprise and bemusement.

Yup I think I’m going to have to share this a lot, especially with a lot of people here in the States that only know that Hamas sucks (which it does) but don’t know the conditions in Gaza or what Israel has done to exacerbate this situation. It’s the best take I’ve heard on the situation so far. That organization of parents of dead kids from both sides was the first thing to give me hope about this conflict in awhile.

The comment the last guy said was especially poignant. “Were going to have to either share this land, or share the graveyard underneath it.”

It’s so cute. And yet, so focused.

I’ve heard of it, but have only ever heard of that being used on people who are carrying straight cash, because only drug dealers do that I guess… /s

Like you said, for white collar crime or corporate , I’ve never heard of it being used.

Tbh, while in this case I think it’s egregious because I don’t think using a VPN should actually be a crime, I’d love to see that punishment system used in the US.

Imagine if instead of paying fines for illegal stuff and then continuing to ignore the laws, Facebook, X, and other rich people and corporations had to pay back all the income made from doing their illegal activity.

I only have the same issue with Mastadon that I do with Lemmy, I have no idea what instance to join. This one I’m apart of now for Lemmy I randomly joined when the admin said he’d accept reddit refugees who wanted to try out Lemmy.

If anyone has any suggestions for good instances to pick I’d give Mastadon a try. Otherwise, it’s a nightmare for people like me (who’s been compared to Chidi from The Good Place in terms of my overthinking and decision making).

Same worries here. This seems like a bad idea. No idea what they could be thinking. The retaliation will be brutal.

Lol so true. Once you block them, you just see the comments of people mad at them without any of the context and it’s just so annoying.

They tend to come from the same instances, so it’s pretty easy to block actually, especially after the next Lemmy update comes out. Block hexbear and Lemmygrad and you already got almost all of them. You can do that with certain mobile apps.

Hopefully this spurs someone to go to the CFPB or something and sue. These companies need to stop pulling this retroactive change bullshit, like Unity, Wizards, ad now Hue.

To be honest, I think it is good that we’re starting to see the conversation reframed from that of a consumer to that of a worker. People need to learn to think of themselves that way, not as pure consumers. Maybe it’ll spread to also being nicer to waiters and stuff like that.

The lemmy.ml one seems more active so I joined that one, but it’s good to have backup communities in case it ever goes down!

What instance it on? I found two. So, for others,

!unions@lemmy.ml

!unions@sh.itjust.works

(for kbin users)

@unions@lemmy.ml

@unions@sh.itjust.works

(if it’s on a different instance, I’ll edit this comment.)

I would say so. Their front page is way different, and, in my opinion, worse now. Not sure if it’s made a noticeable difference to their customer base, but from a consumer standpoint 100%.
