You must not remember the steaming pile of shit that system 8 & 9 was. Their focus on the education market was to get a generation used to using their products and they would stay in the Apple ecosystem after school. Their investment in education was mostly a smokescreen. They've also been bullying since the iPhone 4 right after they started having success in the mobile market. Remember when they said you're holding the phone wrong?

Anyone in the industry during that time knew Steve Jobs was an asshole during his first stint at Apple and even more so when he came back from NeXT. He laid the foundation for this behavior then built an empire. The culture doesn't seem to have changed much.

Yes, but Apple is an industry leader. If they get away with it, other companies will do the same

Democrats made absolutely no noise when presidents of their party made powerful (IMHO unconstitutional) executive orders the last biggest being the drone strike ordered by Obama that killed an American without due process.

You can bellyache about this court, but there was no noise from Democrats when the Warren and Burger courts legislated from the bench and ignored precedent for most of last century.

My point is when Democrats do it, Republicans gripe about it but secretly like having that power when they get on office, and when Republicans do it, Democrats will gripe but will use that same power when they get in office. If you want real change vote for people that opposed it when both parties did it.

That's still a naive take. It's one thing I've noticed in this world is that most everyone is fine with authoritarianism so long as it's their team/side/tribe/party calling the shots. It's still giving power to people that shouldn't have it and all it accomplishes is that they can and will step harder on you and keep you under their boot.

If you think it's the Democrats that'll fix it, I have a bridge to sell you.

[-] sorghum -5 points 3 days ago

Political rival doesn't mean anything. This ruling means any president will get away with it and we'll likely need a constitutional amendment to fix. Hopefully ending qualified immunity would eliminate it.

Not the original, but I had much more fun playing populous 3 with my best friend growing up. It's also 60% off. RIP Bullfrog games

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said Monday that the team is “close” to finalizing extensions for Berry and Stefanski

We’re in the process of working through things so that Kevin and Andrew would be with us for an extended period of time

In response to this statement from FCC/MLS single entity:

https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/statement-from-fc-cincinnati

Out of professional decorum, we will not be sharing the details publicly

This statement is weak af. I expect nothing less from FCC/MLS single entity. Control the narrative, control the opposition, monopolize US soccer

Biggest takeaway from this quote from Garber

We financially have no involvement in it. We don’t control the brand. We don’t control the state of the facilities.

It confirms my suspicion that MLS wants to be the only name in US soccer and is really pushing for their monopoly. The other takeaway is MLS gaslighting us now in saying this is for the greater good.

I can't wait for MLS to get busted up in an antitrust lawsuit. Fuck single entity.

I found a massive quality of life improvement this morning with Mastodon Redirect and it makes interacting with Mastodon links found outside my Mastodon app so much more easier to interact with. I was wondering if there are any plans to implement this. I spoke with the dev of Lemmy Redirect and he said the reason Voyager isn't supported is because Voyager doesn’t have a way to send it links

Is the best place to submit feature requests here or the github?

I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.

I'm looking for a sandwich bread recipe with ingredients measured by weight. I have bread flour and whole wheat flour and both pizza and regular Fleischmann's yeast on hand, but no AP flour until I go shopping at the end of the week. If you have a good recipe, I'd really appreciate y'all sharing.

My latest Google search replacement recently made a decision that basically forces me to turn off ad block in order to click results. I was wondering if there was any self hosted solution that is fairly easy to deploy in TrueNAS scale or if it is even worth doing. Bonus points if it's federated somehow. I'll deal with bad results if it needs time to grow as a project.

I also want to add that what little self hosting I've done so far has felt like cutting out a festering cancer and it feels so good to be in control of my online life again. Thanks so much for the guidance since the Rexxit. Finding out that you could easily self host a Reddit replacement with other people was what got me going to into this to begin with.

In a long-anticipated ruling, the Independent Resolution Panel (IRP), a judicial board part of the Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP), ruled on Wednesday that Kansas men's basketball would have to vacate its wins from the 2017-18 season. That includes removing from official record any formal acknowledgement of its 2018 Final Four appearance, which means the banner inside Allen Fieldhouse commemorating that Final Four appearance will be coming down.

The vacation of wins stems from illegal payments made to former Kansas player Silvio De Sousa.
