Isolating yourself from the sound via one of various available methods would be analogous to using Adblock.

It absolutely is. Gettin an ice cream truck banned from your neighborhood because you heard it drive by is the epitome of Karen behavior.

The age old profession of generating small engine noise pollution

I support Safari on a web app and have very rarely run into issues. It’s nothing like supporting even IE11 was.

Yeah, I’d probably pay $1.30 instead of $1 for subscriptions just to have them all in one single view where I can cancel them without jumping through hoops.

Your family being willing to isolate you and leave you out of conversations because it would slightly inconvenience them says more about you and them than it does about Apple. I downloaded WhatsApp to include random neighbors in our neighborhood group chat, and your family who has known your forever won’t do the same? Ever thought about why?

People at Roblox absolutely try to get children to spend more time and money on the platform. Why would you think they don’t?

iMessage wouldn’t need to interoperate. Look at WhatsApp, works great on iOS and Android and dominates the market in a lot of the world.

Because there are exactly two players in the game, and we’re in a thread under a whiny hyperbolic diatribe from someone that had the former.

Why didn’t Google deliver an alternative to iMessage? Did they choose not to? Is it actually hard? Are they just too incompetent at making software that isn’t for running infrastructure?

I’m not convinced opening up the platform to Chrome skins is good for the web, we’ll just end up with one browser that much faster

Incentivize reporting with a discount, combine that with review of video to verify it’s not a false report. Maybe not scalable, but could work.

Image recognition is getting better. I rarely have to get my receipt checked at Sam’s Club anymore now that their camera exit thing is in full swing.

> the problem was that it was incredible specialized and involved working in radar stations on top of remote mountains, who the hell wants to do that???

would be pretty cool if i didn't have kids

yes my furniture is crafted exclusively by highly skilled 13 year olds.

I've looked around for some quality used furniture at a decent price, it's very hard to find. Just gave up and bought some stuff on article.com which has been pretty ok bang for the buck for me in the past.

heh, nice leather shoes or boots cost in the hundreds, no way you're getting that much leather at any kind of decent quality for that price. maybe starting at 10x that.

I get, realistically, like 30Mbps up with Spectrum with their 1Gb plan. At my last place they had a smaller competitor that did 1Gb up and down, so they changed existing 1Gb plans to the same. Now I live 8 minutes away from there and it's not an option! But competition is coming to my building soon so I can only hope.

> Heck, even Python devs are using type hints these days!

I switch between Python and TS regularly at work, Python type system is honestly kind of shite compared to TS.
