It’s more like “Slapping on the wrist isn’t helping.” The Alex Jones bankruptcy is the first time I’ve seen anyone fined significantly to the point of it mattering. Fines are meant to be significant enough that the company would do its best to avoid them. If the fine is palpable, then it’s just the cost of doing business.
Amazing ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
I think I just busted a nut
PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are their own categories of websites and they do indeed have the ability to behave like an actual app. They are much more than just a shortcut, which apple is reducing them to.
On android, my PWA that I developed for fun can go full screen and appear as though a browser isn’t wrapping the page, I can send notifications, I can access the microphone and camera, I can do nearly everything you could expect an app to do, I can support offline mode, I can store data locally, and I can manage my PWAs permissions as well as uninstall my app at an OS level. My entire family uses my PWA, and they see it as an app.
Are there some things native apps can do that PWAs can’t? Absolutely, but that is not the point. PWAs are an open and clearly defined technology to the web. Windows supports them as well.
Apple is refusing to accept that though. They are removing notifications, badges, etc, and reducing them to what you have described, just a shortcut to a Safari window. They are citing security concerns even though other operating systems are able to implement security around them just fine.
The real issue is Apple wants more control over how you use your device and is acting against the consumer.
Donkeys aren’t free of fascism either
It’s okay guys, the party of small government would absolutely never encroach on abusing their powers!

It’s mid February and I’m in the Midwest. In other words, we’re still comfortably in winter and I’m in an area of the US known for having freezing winters.
The high for today is 74°F (23.3°C) . Outside of the polar vortex the US got which did eventually get us to -10°F (-12.2°C), I haven’t seen us even approach freeing since then.
When I go running around the neighborhood this time of the year, I’m usually in layers, not in tank tops.
I don’t own my digital media but nobody is taking it away from me 😎👉
Hey now, dontcha know they mark up prices if you pay with insurance? It’s how the drug companies get even more money!
If you quit your job, the medication might actually be only $4k!

I can’t wait for when medical implants require a subscription so that I can routinely pay to live a normal life!
/s because it seems like it’s still needed even if it feels obvious
You’re going to get numbers all over the place lol.
I’m $70 for a gig up and down. My parents are $150 for 150mb down and either 15mb or 25mb up. They also have a 1 gig soft cap before getting throttled.
IDGAF IM HERE TO STAY. LEMMY IS COOL AND WTF EVEN IS A SNOO 😤😤😤
Yeah, I’d consider myself comfortable with ladders and with heights. I’ve climbed higher things than this. But you’re right, they can be dangerous. I know how to respect them outside the house, but inside the house just feels more sketchy because I have to be aware of myself and any potential damage to the house. Don’t want to make the wife mad 😅.
Ah interesting point about the weight distribution. I agree then; I should be fine!
Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything I should be considering.
It truly, truly, truly depends where you live.
In my neck of the woods, I can get 1.5 gigs for $85usd a month. In the same state, in my “small” home town (population 10k), you’d be lucky to find 30mbs for less than $135 a month.
How do you remove the paywall from the article? Just copy the URL of the article and provide it to archive.today, and that website just bypassed the paywall? How do they manage to bypass it? O.o
I’m kind of surprised nobody said Kia (and for that matter, Hyundai) yet?
JD Power has ranked Kia in the top 3 in dependability for the past few years and gave them the #1 spot last year. They also have a 10yr/100k mile warranty so theoretically they’ll survive for a very long time.
They do have a bad wrap with the car thefts going on, but that issue is addressed with their newer models. I do suppose though that to a dumb “thrill seeker” that doesn’t mean you’re immune to attempted thefts.
The worst are the places that say they have delivery, take you through the whole checkout process on their own site, and then sends you a link to track your order on door dash or something.
