Yeah saying Apple is anti-privacy is like… what? Compared to who? Apple is consistently fighting against meta and google (and governments) in favour of user privacy

This summary is terrible and misses basically all of the context. I encourage anyone interested to just read the article (it’s like a 2 minute read) and not this comment

Ever heard of the phrase “when in Rome do as the Romans do”?

I’m sure you wouldn’t like it if people came to your country and did things that were seen as incredibly rude but said “oh it’s ok, in my country it’s fine”

You linked to the wrong article.

Ah, ok interesting take on that. I see your point

You don’t even need to be a citizen or PR, you just need to have “a Canadian presence”, which can be as simple as owning a trademark registered in Canada

But also every university is a collection of colleges. For instance, there will be a college of arts and sciences, a college of engineering, a college of medicine, etc all at a single university

I think Lemmy farted and you ended up in the wrong thread…

Right? Like where do people think we dug up the stuff from in the first place?

It also would’ve stayed up a lot longer if the watertight compartments had gone all the way up, so water couldn’t have continued filling ones further aft. It still had more compromised than it could withstand, but it may have been able to remain afloat long enough for the Carpathia to arrive for rescue

They very nearly beat piracy when there was basically only one streaming service, Netflix, and everything was on it.

Music piracy used to be the biggest thing and now no one pirates music anymore since there are one or two streaming services with essentially 100% of all the music available

Make going legit easier than piracy and piracy goes away

But unfortunately for the studios everyone wanted to get their own piece of the streaming revenues and fragmented the market. In a lot of ways it’s still better than the old cable tv system (everything on demand, no or at least fewer ads, higher quality programming) but the sheer amount of services someone needs in order to be able to watch everything (and even then it’s not 100%) is really turning people off.

If they’d all stuck with Netflix or whatever and every studio got on board there’d be basically no piracy now

Because of the increased revenue to creators I don’t feel so bad about installing sponsorblock to skip in-video ads

This article is nearly a year old, about a movie that came out last year…?

Similarly, “presently” originally meant “soon”, but now people use it to mean “at this time”. Like “I will be leaving presently” could mean two different things depending on who’s saying it

Come to Canada and use Robertson for everything

That’s true in older British homes, but it’s fine to drink hot water in Canada.

British houses even have the hot and cold separated in different taps, but as you know Canadian taps are mixed

Memmy is react native so it should be cross platform too. Only Mlem is Swift and iOS only

You must not be from out west. People here have flags on their cars (trucks actually mostly) and those people are Convoy idiots exclusively. And there are a lot of them. I don't go a day without seeing at least one
