A Texas independence would not only violate the Constitution, it would sink the GOP in the remaining states due to the loss of Texas' electoral votes, thus ensuring a Republican president would never be elected again. This is the biggest reason Texas will never secede, regardless of the state's conservative nativism.

LOL here we go again.

The FTC tried & failed. They'll most likely fail here too. It's tough for courts to rule against what the FTC sees as unfair competition when even the judges are likely Amazon Prime & Big 3 ecosystem subscribers.

Edge & Firefox exist.

I doubt the president who lives on the internet & relies on it to connect with his superfans would disable it.

Wanting something != having plans for it.

I've been using extensions on the Nightly build and love it.

I'd have left too. This is insane.

Unfortunately no one cares about game devs.

Immolation is extremely painful.

Each instance has complete control over what is posted on it. The only way to truly own your posts is to set up your own instance and interact only with communities on it.

Yeah I was wondering how they were pulling that off without registering the phone number or iCloud account with Apple. Thanks @BearOfaTime@lemm.ee for the explanation.

In any case, this also shows that iMessage can be spoofed.

No reason given?

Can anyone find any instance of interrogation in the body of the article?

That's classic British humor.

I used to subscribe to this blog. The takes were so bad I'd deliberately share the links the author was railing against.

Great news for folks in Jamaica where I'm from. Pretty common there.

To no one's surprise.

True, but if server owner pulls the plug, all the content you have there is gone. They can also unilaterally delete your posts.

I guess my point is ownership isn't as important as control.

SoundCloud vapes content and entire accounts all the time.

I've seen plenty of other mods and that's just 1 person's opinion.

I will say, though: Microsoft are not a content company and never have been. So gaming isn't their core strength.

BTW: I own both an XSX and a PS5, so I don't have an axe to grind.

Hence why I'm leaving the Debian / Ubuntu based distros

Ubuntu non-LTS packages are pretty up to date.

I can't imagine any law that would preclude the status quo, as Microsoft doesn't own a controlling stake in OpenAI anyway. It sounds like the FTC is picking its targets based on market cap only.

Well that's not worrying at all, is it? Is it?

Yep, Firefox Nightly is my daily driver. I use Edge Canary for sites that don't work on Firefox, such as the Snapchat web client.

Mine is fully backed up.

Yeah I wasn't referring to those.

Still waiting on the Moline to Chicago rail line 😔

I guess this explains Guyana's Metal Shark orders.

In many architectures in which certificates are used, a client with a valid certificate is a trusted client, so a certificate falling into the wrong hands is problematic.

I use Termux + Tasker for this exact functionality. I can provide the scripts and setup to anyone who's interested.

Research: it still exists.

to stop using it you have to de-register your phone number from iCloud.

Ah, TIL. I was wondering that. I'll avoid it then.

On sites like Twitter or Mastodon, you mainly just have one feed based on the people or tags you follow

X has had lists, which allow multiple feeds for the same account, for a very long time now.

This doesn't offer anything in terms of individual user personalization.

Reddit has the multireddit feature.

All of the above have to be set up manually, but Threads changes your feed in real time within the same session based on your interactions.

My take exactly.

Lol no. That said, I'm on Threads too so whatevs.
