Y'know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.
Came to the comments to say the same thing. Cool collection, but invest a few bucks on some cable ties my dude.
I think you could say the same for a lot of countries. Even the ones that seem to know what they're doing make braindead decisions sometimes.
I was a little confused since I'm from America and am used to all utilities being privately owned, so I did some research. It does look like Japan's government owns a majority stake in the company, specifically because of this disaster. The private stakeholders are still there but own minority stakes. So yeah, the government of Japan dropped the ball here. It's strange that I read the linked article and they never mentioned the government once.
I love the app, first and foremost. It's hands-down the best way to view Lemmy posts, and it feels amazing to scroll and interact with.
When I click a link that opens in a browser, though, it opens without any frame around it and can't open into any third party apps. I know it may not impact everyone, but for me this is pretty difficult to get around. Some use cases:
- I clicked the link to view Liftoff! in the Play Store, and I couldn't click to actually download the app. Sure, I already have this installed, but it could happen for other apps.
- I was reading an article that I wanted to share externally, but the menu for my browser wasn't available to share that content.
- I clicked a YouTube video and wanted to watch it in the official app instead of the browser. There was no way to open the link in another app.
Again, loving the app but this would make it so much cooler!
Dude, I'd ask so many questions if you brought that up in regular conversation and I'm not in your line of work at all. That sounds awesome.
It's me again, hi all.
I received my replacement phone, and it's been nothing but issues since. Android System Intelligence has crashed multiple times, and Bluetooth keeps disabling itself for no discernable reason. I've tried everything short of factory reset (because I'm on a work trip and can't risk losing my MFA apps).
I regret ever purchasing a Google product at this point. Buyer beware.
Also: Google, if you're reading this, do better. I know you won't, though.
Loli stuff is illegal though, at least in the United States. Viewing even accidentally can be considered a crime. The OP has a valid point.
Technically this happened yesterday, but I'm still pretty mad at myself.
I've been riding my ebike pretty frequently to and from work. It's a short trip and basically the same amount of time as a car would take, so it just makes sense. My bike also has a cupholder, and I've been placing my keys in there to avoid being stabbed by them.
Yesterday, I had the brilliant idea of putting my headphones in there. I was trying to reduce clutter in my pockets and make it easier to peddle. Well, I hit a few bumps that were a little larger than usual, and with the traffic and trying to keep my head on a swivel I didn't notice my headphones bounce out of the cupholder.
I made it all the way home only to discover my massive error. Rip the $200 to replace those...
