Apple pretty much confirmed it due to EU regulations.

On a side note, I think that level of regulation is dumb. Who decides when it’s time to move on from USB-C when a suitable replacement is made by someone? This isn’t 30 years ago. There’s effectively 2 charger types left. Silly to dictate that one standard needs to be used when the market sorted that out long ago.

I just can’t understand why ANYONE with that much money wouldn’t be a little more careful about where they choose to take risk. A little investigation on their part would have turned up the previous safety concerns.

I still subscribe to YouTube TV and don’t care for an alternative, but losing yet another sports channel sucks considering I’m a big baseball fan.

I believe there are a number of apps in early development stages. I saw a post on KBin yesterday linking to them, but I can’t find it now.

Crazy that I have to ask…

But did I miss something new? Hard to keep up with the pace of their stupidity.

I agree. I’m trying both Lemmy and kbin (although Lemmy makes it much easier to find communities cross servers), but the lack of polished apps for either service can be off putting to the standard Reddit users. Heck, even I’m a bit taken back.

Mastodon was so much further along because it had so much time to be it’s own thing and grow naturally. The threadiverse is being thrust into high gear and it wasn’t nearly as ready for it.

Imagine looking at the chaos of Twitter and thinking “wow, that’s a great idea. I need to do the same”

Twitter is seeing declines in usage and has quickly fallen from its position of having an outsized place in the social conversation to a position of being a train wreck everyone is enjoying watching.
