Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible
  • More like, “Tim, this was a good idea. JavaScript web apps are incredibly unsafe.”

    It figures that a dev who uses JavaScript would want PWA’s protected. IMO, the most significant con to losing web apps is that apps need to go through apple for approval. Otherwise, it’s just wise to protect your users from unknown code execution.

    Ps. Even if I did support this (I don’t) online petitions are merely a “please add my email address to many spam lists” petition that falls on deaf ears 100% of the time.

  • Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
  • Oh, sure. Easy Peasy! Let’s just go ahead and be naive enough to expect Congress to pass A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT TAKES AWAY THEIR PROFIT MOTIVES.

    I think, if we just ask super, duper, duper, duper, duper nicely, they’ll stop being corrupt and intentionally sabotage their own profits. /s

    I just got finished with my letter to Santa Claus. This is going to be there year he finally listens to me. I just know it!

  • Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
  • Fuck everyone in the US Government except Rashida Motherfucking Tlaib.

    I’m going to write in Rashida Tlaib. It’s all bullshit. What is happening right now proves it. Even fucking Bernie Sanders sounds like a Warhawk right now.

    Ps. You’re all a bunch of lesser evil voting shitlibs. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

    What did your harm reduction get us when we put Biden in office:

    • genocide with our tax money
    • cop city
    • stoking the Cold War and enthusiastically sending our tax money to interfere in another country’s business BECAUSE IT’S WHITE PEOPLE to enrich the Military Industrial Complex rather than helping US citizens
    • overturned Roe vs. Wade
    • no marijuana legalization (mark my words: until the primaries or GE next year when it will help Biden in the election)
    • Medicare for those who can afford it
    • austerity
    • austerity
    • more austerity
  • What are some modern bullshit jobs?
  • No. No you wouldn’t. We don’t need banks to implement the concept of currency in a society and you’re myopic for not understanding that but instead pretending to be some sort of authority on the matter.

  • What's the best ice breaker exercise for the class that a professor used on your first day of class?
  • I like to start a major fist-fight with the first student that dares to question my god-like authority. I deadpan an old-timey "put-up-your-dukes-sonny" kind of fisticuff.. they buy it 100% of the time. I like to let the student get a few in before I absolutely make mincemeat out of them.

    After that, the students seem to really respect me. I have to maintain that bitter grudge with that one student the rest of the semester, though. At no point do I want them to think I've gone soft.

  • Plaza Mayor, Madrid, Spain.
  • I’m baffled by this photo. It is objectively below average and yet it’s being shared here like it’s some brilliant work of photographic genius.

    • horizon doesn’t match the cropping and doesn’t do anything interesting that would make it seem intentional.

    • random roofs of tents are creeping into frame and again, they don’t seem intentional

    • underexposed and muddy

    • it’s shot at sunset but we don’t even get the hint of extreme contrast that sunset offers. Did you shoot a jpeg in a situation that would have been far better with raw and post-processing? It certain seems like it by the look of the blown out street lights.

    I honestly could take a better photo by just waving a camera around and taking massive amounts of photos then selecting one.

  • Bryan Cranston Tells Bob Iger ‘Our Jobs Will Not Be Taken Away’ by AI in Rousing Speech: You Will Not ‘Take Away Our Dignity’
  • I don’t know if this is a hot take or not, but I wanna throw out an opinion to feel out the room. There are other people that work on movies and TV that don’t get paid handsomely like actors. But you, an actual sociopath, are of the opinion that they should be replaced by AI.

    Don’t come crawling to us when you get your ignorant wish. You’ll be begging for quality movies and TV and we’ll have been relegated to a career change because you were so myopic and shitty. In a society without art and entertainment, life will be even shittier than the wage slavery we’re all in now.

    If anti-union people like you were in charge, we’d still have child labor, 7 day workweeks, even lower wages, and actual fascism.

  • Machine Head @lemmy.world brutallyhonestcritic @lemmy.world
    Gotoh Machine Heads are the best. What are y'all using?

    I am so glad there's a community to discuss machine heads!

    I am partial to Gotoh 18:1 machine heads and a close second is Schaller. I like the Japanese manufacturing.
