I still haven't quite forgiven Google for abandoning owners of the Nexus 5X the second the Pixel came out...
But, like, how?
So you’re Meta, and you want to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish ActivityPub. Maybe you add some new nonstandard feature that’s not compatible with existing Mastodon clients. Annoying, but are people really going to sacrifice everything they like about their favorite client so they can take advantage of some random proprietary feature?
Exactly. Personally, I like the idea of the Fediverse going mainstream, even if it has to be via a questionable company like Meta.
But, if you don’t like that idea, that’s fine too — there will be instances with both policies.
Google stopped supporting XMPP, which sucked, but did it have any effects beyond that?
Google’s actions just restored XMPP to the same status it would have been if they’d never supported it in the first place.
I’ll post a positive option to mix things up:
It’s a polished product, with no ads, no TikTok style video knockoffs, high quality photo uploads, and a decent recommendation engine. It has all the ingredients it needs for success.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Meta will likely ruin it eventually by A/B testing it to death to maximize revenue.
While all that is true, you actually shouldn’t do that in your review, as that will often get it flagged/removed. (They’ll think it’s not a “real” review and instead part of a review bombing effort.)
I mostly really want the Touch ID rumor to be true — side Touch ID works so well on the iPad Air, and I’d much rather have it than Face ID
Yeah, this seems like a pretty logical next step considering the overpowered hardware in the Studio Display.
Really hoping the EU finally forces Apple to open up their devices and we can be done with their nonsense. Let me use real Firefox on my iPad already!
Someone released a successor! Wish they'd move it to Lemmy: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/
So if they become so incompatible that they completely separate, doesn’t that basically result in the same thing as OP’s goal of total defederation?
