Yes, I meant addicts who cause trouble. If you don't bother anybody do whatever you want.
The second paragraph clearly states that it is a game.
Re:Beeper Mini is back on Monday December 11, 2023 @02:32PM (#38604346)
I don't see any practical difference between whatsapp and imessage. iphone has so many apis such as callkit that make apps that use them feel like first parties. I think the only real difference is that you can use the built-in messages to read and send sms... which nobody uses anymore.
Re:Beeper Mini is back on Monday December 11, 2023 @02:23PM (#38604227)
This has nothing to do with android. iphone comes with an app store and that app store contains lots of messenger applications. Users overwhelmingly download one or several messenger applications from the store and use them instead of imessage. What's the similarity to IE here? IE had over 90% of browser share at some point.
Re:Beeper Mini is back on Monday December 11, 2023 @02:14PM (#38604113)
It is less of an issue because of market share. MS crushed Netscape with IE. imessage is not used in the EU

As long as there are options then we can all be happy. I guess.

It makes no sense to me that one would train a chatbot on chatgpt conversations and not filter strings that literally say "openai" and "chatgpt". Extreme incompetence.

In the context of Greater London this is absurd.

Low emission zones should be called instead "no poor people zones" which is what in practice they are.

>The Spanish right wing establishment isn't comfortable when not confidently in power, either by directly being in power, or by being sure whoever is in power wouldn't dare to change course on certain policies.

Could say exactly the same about the socialist party. Or any other party, really.

Also: the party that you call right wing is as progressive as the socialist party. They have never done and will never do any change that is not progressive. Last time they were in power they raised taxes, did nothing to the homosexual marriage, abortion, and domestic violence laws, etc etc.

It's not the same when you do it because you need it to be the president.

I don't agree with pardons; it's something that simply shouldn't exist in this day and age. It doesn't matter to me what brand of progressivism does it.

Re:Spain expels two US spies for infiltrating secret service on Saturday December 09, 2023 @06:47AM (#38581112)
That's a bit of an over-simplification of what actually happened these weeks. Or a tremendous over-simplification, rather.

Not that I really care about the outcome (two parties could've won, and they are both progressive, so I will be unhappy either way), but the methods have crossed a few red lines.

Re:Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access on Friday December 08, 2023 @06:06PM (#38575958)
So basically you are making my own argument: we use tons of different apps. What would be the selection screen useful for?

Going further: if we download different messengers, it stands to reason we can download different browsers, therefore if safari is the most used it's because it's the one we choose.

Re:Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access on Friday December 08, 2023 @05:59PM (#38575875)
>And a default messenger selection screen.

What for? Everybody in the EU already uses whatsapp. That shows how unnecessary these selection screens are.

That seems completely reasonable.
