Apple poached engineers from the company that owns the patent for the blood oxygen sensor, rather than bothering to license their tech. Company sued and Apple lost, now their products are under an import ban.

I've proactively blocked automatic updates on my watch in anticipation of them doing a rug pull on the feature.

Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.

It's still fairly rough, although they have pushed several patches that helped significantly improve the absolute trash the game was on launch day.

Still no modding support, which was originally supposed to be a day-one feature. DLC release also got delayed. Maybe it'll be a good game by mid to late 2024.

The vast majority of the popular accounts are not run by the women on the profile. Most of them pay friends or agencies to manage the page for them, they simply show up to photo shoots every now and then and enjoy the easy money.

UI doesn't come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.

You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it's not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.

That counts as unauthorized access in the eyes of the law. It's a private system and they did not have any agreements permitting them to use it as they wanted.

Why would they need to look into Apple's conduct here? Investigate Beeper for CFAA violations since they cracked into Apple's internal APIs and ignored large chunks of their ToS in the process.

Of course Apple is going to shut down unauthorized access to their messaging system. They'd lose all customer trust instantly if they didn't.

I run the self-hosted version, aside from having to deploy a couple Docker containers it's pretty much the same as the SaaS product.

Backing a Kickstarter for a game is the same as preordering. Money leaves your pocket and enters the studio's before the game is out.

Your title should be "fuck subscriptions, except subscriptions from this site pulled from 1998" since everything in your guide relies on a paid debrid sub.

 

Has anyone made or found a script to scrape a subreddit and import it to a Lemmy community? There are a handful of smaller subs that I'd like to mirror over to my instance (with author attribution) but haven't found anything that works yet. https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter looks promising but links to a non-functioning Python script (tries to use Pushshift, which isn't working at the moment).
