If this post has a score of -23, why is it in the top ten items I’m seeing on Lemmy?

They had to take all that stuff out so that they have features to trickle back in over the next few years.

DUI hire.

Why does Apple even let apps read my phone model and battery level?

Their users will accept this.

Isn’t $700k per year really low for a CEO or high level exec of an extremely visible, important, high-profile firm?

If you’re still on Facebook, you’re probably not aware of what this means or why it’s a bad thing.

Remind me again why Federighi is so well-regarded.

He’s so terminally Applebrained that he thinks last year customers celebrated “the values we brought” to the AI discussion.

Sorry but any article about what internet users are saying about any topic is not real news. It’s not even noteworthy.

Business Insider was founded in 2007.

Then they release Pocket v4 which everyone hates, usage dwindles but they refuse to roll back, and then it finally dies.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.

This only bothers me to the extent that it affects the innocent who are in prison. For the rest, this inconvenience is part of the punishment you’re serving.

Spelling too.

I’m frankly shocked that Phil Schiller was on the “don’t be dishonest” train about anything.

At least tell me there’s a DIN slot in the dashboard. As long as I can connect my phone via Bluetooth I’m good.

Stop me if you’re over 30 and have heard this three dozen times during your life.

God I hate this website’s image.

Donald Trump is a self-inflicted wound.

Trump threatens a lot of things to get attention.
