For any American Apple user still against sideloading: how will you download TikTok or any other app congress bans once it's taken off the app store?

Wenn Urlaubstage die Probezeit verlängern, dann sollten Überstunden die Probezeit verkürzen.

Didn't liberals tell me that Trump would be way worse on Gaza and we should vote for Joe Biden because his genocide was the lesser evil compared to Trump's potential genocide?

Now Trump's cabinet organized ceasefire deal including the release of all remaining hostages, showcasing what Democrats could've done all this time???

Maybe guilt-tripping people into voting for you instead of making better policies isn't the way to win elections.

TikTok was banned in the U.S. not because it was a data privacy, disinformation or political concern. If the American government truly cared for that they'd regulate their own networks.

My phone was stolen, ignore the last post

You're gonna experience climate change through a series of short, apocalyptic videos, until it's your phone that's recording.

Gerade das erste Mal von einer Freundin in meinem Alter erzählt bekommen, dass sie Schwanger ist. Meine erste Reaktion war selbstverständlich „Oh Gott, was werdet ihr jetzt tun?” Woraufhin sie verblüfft antwortete, dass alles richtig lief und die Schwangerschaft gewollt ist.

Ich werde langsam zu alt 🤦

@Gargron A move to Mastodon is the only way 👏 :blobcatmeltlove:

I hate life

Just had a discussion with my American friends in which they stated that I shouldn't worry about Trump's or Musk's statements because this level of radicalizaion is normal for the U.S.

I find this sentiment fascinating, because exactly that should be all the more worrying.

Congressman Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) cowers in fear at a coup he helped create on January 6th 2021

The fact the richest man in the world is successfully meddling with elections all across Europe and America, should have you worry about all the other rich people that aren't publicly announcing it.

@Mastodon why would they still be in stock. this makes zero sense. gotta buy several more

Hey @setiinstitute, what if, after transmitting radio frequencies into deep space for decades, you receive the first message confirmed by aliens which you decode to mean “be quiet, they'll hear us!”

what's the game plan then

squid games got torment nexus'd harder than quite possibly any other piece of media in existence

i just logged onto fedi after spending the day with family and loved ones, why is everything on fire

“I like iOS, it's much more simple!”

My screen broke and Apple now expects way too much for repair, is there anything we can do?

I need this app which Apple doesn't allow on the App Store, can we still install it somehow?

My pictures are all taken in an incompatible format, how do we convert them so I can view them on my PC?

After the update, everything is so much slower and the battery drains quicker, can I revert this?

I don't have a problem with people wanting to use more user friendly software, I do have a problem with that “user friendly” software deliberately causing issues as the corporation behind it wishes to increase their market share.

If one side is not user friendly because it's not developed well, but the other is not user friendly because it deliberately tries to be worse in order to discentivize certain consumer decisions, then you don't have any good options.

As much as it's personally frustrating that these people constantly encounter problems caused by their preferred devices, and refuse to recognize them as such, the issue is not the individual consumer that is just “too stupid to buy the right device” but rather the corporation not being regulated to act differently.

With sideloading now being possible on iOS in the EU, and USB-C having become the default for even Apple devices, we can see that such change is only possible through democratic institutions which truly represent the will of the people, not corporations that wish for your experience to be as terrible as possible if you dare buy a product that isn't in their ecosystem.
