I have my phone permanently on Do Not Disturb, and anytime I have a notification I don’t like, I block the app from sending notifications.

I basically have email, Signal, and missed phone calls left over (but voice messages are blocked).

In purely fiscal terms, study after study shows that a dollar invested in child care yields a greater financial return over a lifetime than any other expenditure of public funds.

Much of the world (notably South Korea, Japan, et al) need to take a close look at this

You’re right, at what cost…?

1. Game consoles don’t have a duopoly
2. You gotta start somewhere

Honestly I just wanted an excuse to share the post more on Lemmy

Yes, that’s part of my job.

I take my Tesla to the farms,

With my gun in arms.

I buy some American maple syrup,

To go with my lucky charms.

Tesla FSD gives me a cheer up, as it drives me home

But that’s not true, I’m an LLM. I’m forever alone :c

You were definitely implying it’s worse than infrastructure that doesn’t phone home, which doesn’t exist, so at best your comment was useless

It is not satire, it’s a real article from the Washington Post

Honestly if you didn’t reply, I wouldn’t have checked the post to see it got downvoted. Wtf is the point of this community if people are just gonna downvote headlines they don’t like

This was the original name inspiration

How many Gen Zers even know what a Lemmy is?

Anyways, I call people Lemmies

You mean the same Spez who took credit from his dead friend for Reddit’s success? That Spez?

No one outside of China has their data stored there, though.

1. There’s no way to tell if Apple transfers your data there
2. Apple does not clarify how they decide when to transfer your data there
3. You are putting a lot of faith into a system that shows no transparency

https://support.apple.com/en-us/111754

It’s already gone because it’s not disclosed when or why it is moved to servers where the Chinese govt can decrypt it, but I guess it depends on who you’re worried about having your data

No 👏 they 👏 do 👏 not.

Get Apple’s dick out of your ass.

They literally have a history of moving data to government servers and handing over encryption keys: https://thehackernews.com/2021/05/how-apple-gave-chinese-government.html?m=1

Ignoring the fact they already did this in China? And by the way, you have no way of knowing when your data was uploaded to the Chinese servers

Google is not interested in a larger screen size so that more ads that otherwise wouldn’t have been scrolled to can count as an impression. Given 95% of apps are scroll based anyways, you would get what - a couple percent more impressions on ads the user wouldn’t have scrolled past before closing their phone?

No, this is not the main reason, especially when you consider every major phone brand on the market is going this way.

It’s obviously a case of “consumers see big and click buy” (see: cars) and “big phone means more battery life and better specs we can market”.
