Apple Slowly Moves Away From Its Annual Product Release Strategy [Bloomberg]
Good. We don’t (anymore) need a new iPhone / MacBook / iPad every year. Only when the improvements are substantial. Now they’re just adding and changing things to make it seem like anything changed at all compared to the previous generation of devices.

It sorta protected Chrome's monopoly in the browser world for years. Now that they've established that monopoly firmly, it's time to crack down on things that diminish monetisation.

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe it is. Nearly all traffic is TLS. When this is attacked, you’d get TLS error. Am I missing something?

This one is pretty uncommon, probably. He could've at least said something like "haha, what a coincidence"

Germany’s far right is winning over the young

Is that really what's been happening? And is that a legitimate reason to attach yourself to far-right ideology?

Two Weirdos pray to Jesus at Weirdocon

It turns out Peterson has been wearing suits made for him by a company called LGFG. They made a dozen suits for him, one for each rule in his book 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote to Chaos. "The rules are printed on the back of this collar. This is a heaven and hell suit, it's quite fun," Peterson explained to Rogan. The colors were "magenta" and navy blue, one half made from sheep's wool, the other from goat's wool. On the inside of the jacket, the left featured clouds to represent heaven, while the right side featured fire for hell. The magenta color representing hell, Peterson joked was for "designer hell."

Should your disappointment here really be pointed at the journalists?

Biden announces 10-year deadline to remove all lead pipes nationwide
Is this regarding lead pipes in homes? Or are some pipes of whole neighbourhoods or cities also still made of lead?

iPhone 16 models cost a little more to make than the iPhone 15

What? Each phone costs them hundreds of dollars to make. The profit margin is still large, but phones are not cheap to make.

I get your point. But we’d probably adjust if there’s less releases, I think. More choice might not be better when it comes to the planet and it’s natural resources. And we’re now at a point where phones barely change when compared to the year before.
If there’s a new iPhone every two years, you can still decide when the improvements justify upgrading for you.

Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution
Windows isn’t even that good. The OS is kind of a huge mess. It has two unfortunate advantages though: it’s the default on many devices, and (because of that) software availability is best. I wish it wasn’t the case.

What really helps is that fediverse users are quite aware of the ideology behind federated social networks. I think, indeed, they won't all stay on a server that is federated with Threads if it threatens the fedi network.

It's part of the reason you don't see the lemmy.world instance in the lemmy server browser.
On join-lemmy.org you mean? I didn't know that, but that's great to see. Lemmy.world has become pretty big.

Even if, for instance, Threads was widely allowed to federate with Mastodon servers?

I very much agree. But what if a very important Lemmy community is on a server that decides to allow sponsored content or something similar, it'll be hard for the community to move. Maybe Lemmy should implement tools for moving communities when it's necessary.

I'm wondering how Apple will handle this in Safari.
