What the hell are you talking about? This couldn't be more on point! The execution is flawless...

"The country’s gross inequality and corruption are reflected in the organisation of the convention, with donors paying up to $5m for a seat in luxury suites at the venue. The event’s $85m budget is almost fully funded by the uber-wealthy and influential big-money groups in what one prominent journalist has described as a “pay-to-play” scheme."

"Biden, a white, has already named his Vice President Kamala Harris, a Black, as his preferred successor to lead the former British colony, which is riven by ancient ethnic and racial hatreds."

This is fucking perfect. It's practically a nottheonion article.

Imagine ordering ANYTHING as vaguely as "some of this, some of that, whatever makes sense".

"Sir, that's not even a real order. I don't have time for your bullshit."

it's sketchy as hell they let him go when they busted him with home made kiddie porn.

Believing billionaires will face consequences is practically a mental illness these days.

Delusional disorder ☑️

That's not really playing devils advocate. You're correct. I was just highlighting the headline was disinformation. It's true that the average user isn't aware of the difference, but I would blame the OS for not making that explicit on install that this is a website and that authenticity should be triple checked. There's also nothing stopping them from "installing" PWA's via their app stores, except for their greed.

Yeah. I meant in a way where their split becomes the standard so you can mix and match any video format with any audio format, but it would be even better if the torrent software transparently enabled the tracking and extraction of either independently, while retaining the current bundled/container format. So you can be like, I want that 1080 AV1 version, but also the 5.1/Atmos/whatever because that's best for my sound system.

Wtf kind of clickbait is this shit? I stopped reading when I got to PWA's, which are just a javascript website that use specific API's to feel more offline and app-like, but still run entirely in the browser engine. This is not "novel", it's not "side loading", nor is it breaking iOS/android security. It's no different than navigating to a scam website in a browser and entering your bank credentials.

Side note: this tech could have entirely replaced most apps on Apple and Google app stores. Apple has hamstrung it's addition on iOS for a decade, and still are, so businesses have to build iOS specific apps and pay Apple for the privilege. Both Apple and Google are effectively stealing billions of dollars from global businesses, and dramatically increasing their inefficiency, by forcing every business that wants to build a generic app to use their OS-specific proprietary tech, instead of a single website that you can "install" and operates almost identically across every browser, every mobile OS, and every desktop OS. They're also more private than proprietary apps.

The above is only one example why Apple, Google, and all of big tech deserve antitrust action, and should be forced to open walled gardens and implement open standards across their OS's. There's no technical reason you can't use a single app to communicate across SMS, iMessage, whatsapp, signal, Telegram, etc. They create these walled gardens to prevent competition and lock you into their platforms. No weakening of "security" or encryption needs to take place to do so either. Almost all encryption in use today uses completely open standards, protocols, and libraries.

PULL THE COPPER FROM THE WALLS!

God damn it now I gotta find this. Piracy supply chains really need to figure out how to completely separate audio and video files in such a way that users can mix and match any.

 

Thus, conservatism and neoliberalism are, in reality, the radical agenda...

 

Funky funky

 

Broke timestamps. Everywhere. New replies will show "10 hrs" while the original comment will show "18 mins".

When viewing posts I see tons of phantom comments that seemingly have nothing to do with the post or are replying to something when they appear at the top level. Navigating to the post in a web browser shows dozens more comments (not from users I've blocked or anything).

Formatting of content across posts and comments doesn't match what the site does when I view it in the browser.

Thanks to the Memmy dev and any contributors, but broken software is broken software.

So, what's the best alternative these days?
