RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.

Chat bubble classism/racism is unacceptable

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

TIL that Android phone users are a new racial category.

(Not sure if sarcasm)

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 months ago

Android phones are cheaper upfront that then leads to the people of colour often using them in the global south

Literally nobody cares what colour your bubbles are.

What is annoying is how group chats suck when people on android are involved.

I’m mostly looking forward to that being fixed

You a teen in the US?

Saw a teen tell Tim Cook kids in his school were being bullied over not necessarily one hue vs. another shade but presumably the degraded functionality (simplified as “green bubbles”).

Group chats are so huge - and including one non-Apple user means nobody gets bells & whistles.

It’s absolutely ridiculous! But it’s hard to argue - it’s happening, making less money would stop it, but money matters more than kids.

Oh get off it. This is “video games cause school shootings” levels of wrongness

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I just don’t think you and I are the people who see this stuff.

When it comes to video games and violence, you have to try - try to draw lines.

What kind of line needs to be drawn to deduce “who’s green?” is related to a feature?

I rather have a real firefox browser.

And uBlock Origin🤤

RCS support

The satellite thing will save lives

[–] Eggyhead@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago

Auto sorting in Mail, to be honest.

I dont really care about any of this crap. Let me install my own internet browsers, fix the poor keyboard hit boxes, let me build my own predictive text library...

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

iOS devices would be actually good if they literally just let you install .ipa s from anywhere (.apk equivelent for iOS). Not even unlocking the APIs that ensure Apple apps stay on top, just allowing .ipa installation.

[–] shinratdr@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What IPAs do you want to install? This is a real question, I know there are a handful of apps that you need to install from outside the App Store but over the years as restrictions have loosened that has dropped to almost nothing for me.

I used to install nzbUnity which has been fully replaced by LunaSea at this point, and with the rule change allowing emulators they really took a ton of wind out of the sails of the 3rd party App Store push.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Wow Apple must’ve accidentally accepted this one heh

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

They would be android devices, then.

So no. They wouldn't be good.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No mention of the calculator app on iPadOS smh

[–] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

Because this is the ios screen and there is a seperate one for iPadOS? Or am I missing the joke?

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Locked apps! All the porn, and all the incriminating evidence of my affair. Thank u Tim Apple! Very cool.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 months ago

Jealous partners and judgmental family are going to have a harder time.

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why does this sub exist? To shit on Apple? Literally all the comments are neckbeards complaining about this or that. Wtf?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Because it keeps showing up on /all and the apple haters just can’t help themselves. People enjoying things drives them insane.

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Look at all these kids having a good time! Not on my watch!!! 🙃
