To paraphrase Nixon:

"When you're a company, it's not illegal."

To paraphrase Trump:

"When you're a company, they just let you do it."

I think a bank should be more complex. If you have all sorts of auto drafts, withdraws, checks, etc. you'll want to make sure you got all of those.

It should absolutely be simpler but I don't mind an extra check for banks where all your money is held.

Services like gyms and Netflix, they don't have any excuse. My life will not be as adversely affected as cancelling a bank account.

Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.

You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is

Tbh the exchange is a bit testy. Even if they didn't request it to be removed, I have a feeling it would have gone viral.

But the Streisand effect is going to show the coverup and the juicy parts. It's just....amazing

Thank you but I don't run a Mac. I used to back in the day. I just know how anal Apple is about people using their devices in any way that they don't specifically want you to.

I sort of get it. When you self host mastodon or lemmy, you have to deal with the moderation that comes with it. That's a headache unless you have a ton of free time. Judging by the age distribution, I'm guessing most of us just want things to work so we can do what we enjoy.

My primary phone belongs to my work. I get a stipend every two years that essentially allows me to buy any supported phone I want.

The conditions are that it's managed by them via MDM and all my work stuff is on the work profile side.

It is a choice I make since it allows me to not carry two phones. I did that for the first two years at my company and it was annoying.

I was today years old when I learned that you can run a custom WM on a Mac.

That's like....the equivalent of a coca cola soda machine dispensing Pepsi.

And in terms of down votes, I don't really care too much. It evens out overtime.

As much as I want to use F-Droid, my work blocks all third party app stores so it's either have access to my work stuff on one phone (via profiles) or dual wield two phones.

I lack the patience to dual wield again. It's very annoying.

That made me true but let's not ignore the huge profit motive for Kodak to keep people on film. That was their money maker.

They had an incentive to keep that technology out of the consumer market.

He very much could get away with it now. None of the candidates, as far as I'm aware, have a public key published and none of them have any way of verifying that the tweet is from the account holder.

Sure a tweet from Kamala saying, "I believe we should execute all illegals" might be an easy one.

But think of this more subtle tweet: "The United States believes in the sovereignty of all recognized nations."

We need our politicians to stop using Twitter for official communications.

The fact that we have so much of our politics in a private company is dangerous.

Musk has the power AND ability to post tweets as if they were from any of the candidates.

Not as a sock puppet. But as them directly.

This is a dangerous ability.
