Pluralistic: “If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing”
  • This shit again? have people never heard of lending? the thing you get to use for a short duration at a fraction of the cost to buy it outright or create it yourself? The thing you don't actually own and have to give it back? renting?

    is this some kind of alternate universe where people think they own every movie or game simply by paying $$. is this kindergarten mathematics? and this is coming from people who can't code for shit and don't realize the scale of things bts.

    Get a physical copy that doesn't require internet activation then, assholes.

    but but but… that requires actual physical movement and getting out of my basement. 😭

  • Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app
  • you're on a platform someone else created with someone else's money and someone else's time. You're just a entitled moron, who's so far away from reality that you don't know what goes on the real world and that joining the "fediverse" is going to magically fix every damn problem we've got.

  • Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app
  • Can all the folks saying "I don't care" on this just stop? If this doesn't affect you, why are you commenting at all?

    Haven't you heard? Lemmings are all about "Stay alone in a basement and never get out and socialize, because people use something you don't agree with. If they really want to talk to you, they'll switch."

    They didn't, but now they're on lemmy with more people with the same attitude, trying to socialize but never realizing why they don't have any friends.

    Reddit migration brought all the entitled, self agrandizing, freeloading, weirdos to the fediverse.

  • Telegram now lets anyone transcribe voice messages for free
  • Still nice seeing the feature getting picked up though

    Picked up? Apple fanboys are a special breed.

    Apple added the feature in iOS 17 and both parties need to be on 17. Google Messages did it last year, Google Voice had it years and years ago.

    but yes, Telegram picked it up from iMessage. 🤦‍♂️

  • Simple Mobile Tools is being sold to a for-profit firm ZipoApps
  • Jeez, why can't we have nice things ?!

    Because freeloaders who call themselves "open source enthusiasts" aren't really good at supporting people who create them. It's often quite the opposite. Rude, entitled, and ungrateful bunch of whiners that want everything free and some more. Then act surprised after their favorite opensource app is shutdown, sold or archived.

    This guy even had paid apps on the playstore so whoever says "but opensouce doesn't mean you can't sell em" can fuck right off.

  • Reddit updates look after rough 6 months and ahead of reported IPO
  • Everyone? Those people who say these companies are sinking ship are probably so addicted to them they have to mention it anytime anything vaguely relates to it. Normal people use both and don't give a shit where their meme comes from.

  • Obama says people need to acknowledge complexity of Israel-Palestinian conflict to move forward
  • Why do people claim UN is a democratic organization and not the one for the superpowers benefits? that can veto any resolutions they don't agree with to bully smaller countries into agreement?

    Other countries just line up in positions where they get the least amount of economic or political retaliation.

    Why do you think no US president or war criminal from US is tried in hague? or why Putin and Xi will live rest of their lives happily without a shred of repercussions?

    These cherry picked talking points are getting old.

  • Obama says people need to acknowledge complexity of Israel-Palestinian conflict to move forward
  • No shit Sherlock! But the keyboard warriors on the internet with dumb takes aren't the ones enabling and funding the killing of civilians though, are they?

    This guy has been, since well, he's a US president so it must come naturally.

  • Obama says people need to acknowledge complexity of Israel-Palestinian conflict to move forward
  • Do you have any understanding of the Palestinian history?

    why would they? it's not like the west has painted muslims and the middle east people as the bad guy for decadessss. From media to hollywood, middle east is a lawless hellhole and they had no hand it making it that way. like at all…

    most of them probably can't even find them in a map, but once they see a middle eastern anywhere, they know they have to instantly hate on them.

  • The cost of maintaining Xorg
  • The problem is, that's always used as an excuse to force people to be gratis beta testers

    If as devs you want to "iterate", sure, go ahead; but leave it in the dev branch; as a user, don't try to sell me Wayland again until it's actually over.

    it's opensource software, don't like it? go ahead, don't use it. They don't owe anyone shit

  • Introducing the Functional Source License: Freedom without Free-riding
  • Good. Users aren't the ones spending countless hours coding, debugging, and testing their apps. And they shouldn't give a shit about internet keyboard warriors and their ideals.

    don't like it? write your own code.
