I hate what’s happening but I enjoy the righteous schadenfreude.

I voted for the guy who said he would do all of this, but I didn’t think he’d do the parts that harm me.

Doing something like that might unify the silent opposition against Trump, giving them strength in numbers. Letting his allies break one by one means that the first several will be destroyed by Trump before the opposition gains enough momentum to work.

I’m downvoting you because nobody asked about silver

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Lemmy account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

• Rudeness towards other Lemmites,
• Spreading incorrect information,
• Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from Lemmy?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don’t believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Lemmy PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Lemmy. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Lemmy is privilege, not a right.

A bunch of wallets just got the bigot spigot

Google only checked out and cashed in after getting a monopoly. Mozilla let themselves fade into irrelevance.

It’s a Trump quote that people started using sarcastically.

He only got a small loan of a million dollars.

You can make commits on your system without pushing them to the remote server, and that’s the default behavior.

Nope

These days I go 50/50 on Reddit and Lemmy. I know it’s a chicken and egg problem for content, but hopefully 50% usage is enough to change things over time.

Haven’t you heard? It’s the year of the Linux desktop.

Only half?

If it’s a choice between AI-accelerated cores and nothing, sure, but that silicon space could have been used for AVX-512 or a bigger cache instead.

I don’t care how far behind they are with AI because I don’t want AI on my phone anyway.

I hope Apple releases some open source AI tooling to re-gain good will. Would love to see some more competition in the AI space.

That’s literally never going to happen. Closed-source proprietary stuff is their MO.

If Siri is enabled, then the default behavior of long-pressing the power button brings up Siri instead of turning off the device. IIRC you can disable that behavior without having to disable Siri, but there’s no way to set the “action button” to open Siri; if you want a Siri button, it needs to be the power button.

Why would Craig be any better? Modern macOS and iOS are far from innovative.

However, someone who writes articles for a platform called “Apple Insider” is likely to have some level of stock in the company.

That would be Apple Insider Trading.

Our team will handle all the paperwork and finer details of filing insurance claims and police reports to provide you a smooth transition of ownership and plausible deniability.

That should be higher up on the page, since that’d be the primary value of that service.
