Apple reduces raises given to retail employees after weak iPhone quarter
  • The other important part here is that inflation is lower this year than last. So the extra high raises last year may have helped keep up but aren’t needed as much.

    As far as I can tell there’s no direct relationship between iPhone sales and the change in raises. If anything I’d expect low sales to lead to layoffs or closing stores.

  • Buying Apple’s Vision Pro headset could require an appointment and a face scan
  • Having worked on HMD optical designs, lenses can be designed to tolerate a wide variation of users with some degradation that isn’t too bad, but if you want to maximize stuff like field of view and brightness and other things, you can end up with a tiny spot that the eyes need to be in. If they’ve decided to do a more optimized lens design, they might have more strict eye box requirements.

  • Some of these issues can be Apple and Google’s fault since they control subscriptions if you buy through the app, but the company that makes the app controls your subscription if you subscribed outside of it. So it might be against the App Store terms of service to allow you to unsubscribe from inside the app. There’s a hidden setting on iOS to control all subscriptions which can be better or worse depending on your perspective.

  • Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts
  • I’d love to see some more clear tracking of where all the posts are. Not sure how best to find it. Seems like I just go to every instance and have to look through their list of communities to see it.

  • Wasn’t the face scan a part of the original announcement? And appointments make sense at first the same way the early Apple Watch purchases required an appointment to make sure the bad was fit right and stuff.

    Honestly, getting the fit on head right is probably super important to this product experience, and they won’t want to risk it.

  • Twitter removes login requirement for viewing tweets
  • Pinterest has been the worst since google would put their posts high up on search for some reason and the. You can’t see anything but a login screen. I’ve seen lots of people recommending ways to hide Pinterest results from google searches for years.

  • how to block meta from mastodon
  • Couldn’t any instance or app do this already? Like #peertube does videos in a way that isn’t necessarily fully federated with #mastodon. We get partial functionality everywhere and some places will have some extra things. If it is popular enough, then add it to the standard and let everyone who wants it add the functionality.

  • Doesn't the minimum requirement for the first point seem a bit too lax? It still results in a largely closed off instance that is listed alongside the others.
  • I think those requirements make sense. The point of the list is to give people places where they can sign up that will have some activity. 5 active users is something and federated with another active instance means more content. Once they’re on the list, I bet other instances will want to federate with them and then users get even wider reach.

  • Does it seem like we’re mixing two concepts, having servers for users and content?
  • There’s many ways these communities could end up gathering over time given the features of the platform we have. The most likely in my opinion is that certain communities on certain instances will take off and gradually people will focus on those instead of the many duplicates on other instances. It’ll probably be quite a while before enough critical mass builds up.
