@fne8w2ah. When I was a kid, toys, whatnots, etc could be taken by the teacher to be returned when they saw fit or off to the office and whenever the principal decided. I’d assume the same rules would apply to a smartphone.
@Kovu. Your average person will go oooh Instagram, I know them. Sign me up for the new app! Privacy, security, etc never even were involved. Of course that also assumes Meta didn’t just “create” one for each IG user (no clue what the usercount is).
@Arotrios Why would I want an inferior version of mastadon? But seriously I will likely only end up with one if they auto generate it. (a few family use ig and fb as their only communication so it’s checked occasionally via web with adblockers etc…ugh).
@Coliver Well crud, I thought it was doing pretty well and that they had said it was renewed.
@aranym Can we get this globally?? Then perhaps more people would get their news from actual sources and not blindly trust a random link on a social platform.
This will likely hit Apple in the US eventually, now it may not be the simplest or basically have a bunch of “Proceed at your on risk” warnings…but it’s almost for sure going to happen. The Google part is confusing…Hasn’t android had sideloading from the get go?
It’s not dead, but the SEC sure has been really helping the consumers basically tanking the market about everytime they help…
I have zero interest in going back beyond possible a big meeting type thing or something. Open office plans are one of my personal hellscapes. I can’t hardly focus on what I’m doing for all the movement and noise. I do get it for certain types of jobs but I’m a dev and can collab online with less distractions and get my stuff done. My stress level is less and my boss is still happy.
