Internet people: NINTENDO IS DESTROYING ALL EMULATORS raaaaaaaa
Reality: Nintendo sued exactly one emulator that was literally charging people to play pirated games

Seems about the same?
I downvoted it because it’s blaming the wrong entity; the real bad actor here is Apple.
The AltStore should be free and it should be available globally, but neither are possible thanks to Apple’s anticompetitive shenanigans.
Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.
The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.
If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…
Ah, you’re right! I evidently mixed up the expensive Apple accessories haha
My favorite post-Jobs keynote moment was the confused laughter when Apple triumphantly announced the price of the $699 Mac Pro wheels.
So disappointed they’re still doing the prerecorded presentations. The old live ones were so much more fun!
I can finally follow ZUCC on Mastodon, at last
In keeping with the Siri brand, Apple has to make sure LLM-Siri’s underlying model is bad at everything
…does anyone actually have a stereoscopic monitor?
At this point, I feel like Apple is just playing chicken with the EU. If this isn’t “gatekeeping” (ie, the thing the DMA is supposed to prevent), then I’m not sure what would be.
Eh, I think the problem is the customers just take what apple gives them
I think this is true to an extent, but my argument against it would be to point to the period where Apple resisted making large phones, while Android phones were getting bigger and bigger. (This would be approximately the era of the 5/5S) In the more wild-west product lineup of Android, it became clear that bigger screens equaled more sales, for better or for worse.
Eh, I think the problem is customers just prefer bigger phones. I mean, personally I prefer the mini, but I think it’s clear I’m in the minority.
Using a rebrand to try and downplay the compactness may work for sight-unseen buyers, but in the end if they’re shown the bigger phone in-store, past sales would suggest they’re likely going to pick the bigger phone. (Phones ended up so big in the first place because people preferred them, too.)
Yup. Lest we forget, Android is Linux-based, and it’s the most popular consumer operating system in the world.
Exactly! The great thing about Lemmy is that if your instance’s admins start doing stupid stuff you can just go to another instance.
As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

Wow, the level of detail on this theme is really impressive!
As as aside, I didn’t realize that GTK had officially banned theming. That seems…dumb.
Literally a Unicode character:
Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)
