Apple couldn’t get the carriers to do shit. They blocked eSIMs for years on iPhones, meanwhile the iPad eSIM implementation was happily allowed.
Even up to the iPhone launch nobody wanted to collaborate with Apple(especially for the voicemail) except Cingular.
[John Brown intensifies]
HomePod is still mid. But people really sleep on how terrible the first Apple Watch was, and how AppleTV is a media juggernaut now.
This is unhelpful and reductive.
Cognitive tests can be abused.
Porn is legal and it is hard to find a payment processor that won’t gouge you.
Puritan bullshit finds a way.
Get a Porsche Maccan.
Crossplane has also had internal providers in development for 3 years. Bottom line is unless the actual cloud provider is devoting developer resources to a provider(like they do for the TF providers), it’s unlikely to happen.
They wish. Nobody is gonna replicate that effort successfully any time soon.
You’d sooner get the cloud providers to standardize on an api.
The signal code is there for transparency and individual use, not for redistribution. Again, this is signal themselves discouraging users from third party apps for things that have and will happen.
And what data would this client be handling via the API?
Even Signal discourages third party apps for this reason you are indeed missing.
China and Russia are trying to gain favor just in case the US stops supporting Israel.
How would a third party client guarantee e2e encryption with iMessage?
And by what mechanism was that company enabling that bridge? Did that mechanism store iCloud credentials? Did it encrypt the drives the users iCloud data could have been downloaded to? Did they have access to iMessages in clear text before forwarding them?
What are you asking for? For iMessage to become the standard for messaging?
It’s the telcos fault SMS sucks and it’s the telcos fault RCS is a joke unless you use Googles implementation on Android.
I think Darwin is still open source, and WebKit is still open source.
What does Ukraine and the weapons they use have to do with Israel?
Because Ukraine is accomplishing the switch and hybridization between weapon ecosystems under duress, whereas Israel will have time to do so. If Ukraine can rig Migs to fire western missiles, Israel can adapt S-400 to suit their needs.
It is not an idle threat when Bibi invites Putin over for tea, and it is not an impossibility for them to switch over.
Now, let’s say they do have difficulty switching over to Russian or Chinese weapons if the US cuts them off. You don’t think Iran or another of Israel’s neighbors won’t try to take advantage? Then what? How many people will die in that conflict? And if their backs are against the wall, how much restraint will Israel show before launching a nuke?
There are no easy answers here. Plenty of easy idealism though.
It’s futile, let these very useful folks chant “Genocide Joe” and then put on their best shocked pikachu faces after Trump mysteriously wins. I don’t support genocide, but I also don’t support two rogue nuclear super powers actively stealing territory from their neighbors every 3-4 years while ACTIVELY pursuing genocide.
Like the solution to the trolley problem for these people is to deny the trolley even exists or that they are at the switch.
Russia and China also back Israel. FirstTime.jpg?
Diplomacy and stability don’t run on embracing the unknown. There is a non-zero chance Russia will give Israel all the weapons it needs, there is Russian influence in Israel and Russian Jews hold significant sway in Israeli politics.
How much do you think Russia cares about genocide when they are actively committing one in Ukraine? Maybe think about how much Russia cared about how many civilians Assad has killed.
It’s a weird moral grey zone. Everyone has forgotten the hundreds of people Boeing murdered as a result of their desire to skirt modern safety regulations. I just flew my family across the country yesterday on one of these end-stage-capitalism products for lack of any other option.
Were I to be ash this morning, I would be forgotten too.
But if astronauts were killed, maybe the outrage would finally be enough for all the greased palms to be sheepishly shoved in pockets just long enough to get justice, ground all those affronts to safety, and jail enough executives to maybe make Boeing stop being a global safety risk and a national security concern.
