It's addressed in the article. It'll just share the credentials from your phone.

Turns out it costs more to make things in Europe.

It seems useless if I was forced to unlock my phone by someone violent, like the police.

My life seems a great deal more boring and uneventful than most people around these parts.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the answer to the question that's posted all the time on gaming forums of: "Phones are so powerful these days, especially compared to the Switch, why can't we have real games on phones without microtransactions?"

it's that at any point a decision can be made which you have no control over

This is true for any software you didn't write. Plenty of FOSS software has gone in directions I didn't like.

The only real difference is whether decision makers have a profit motive. That's important, but that said, it's not everything.

I hate the cynical nihilism around here so much. It plays into the Republican and big business hands so well it might as well be propaganda.

We had net neutrality before under the Democrats. The Republicans got rid of it when they took power.

Bothsidesism is juvenile bullshit.

How are they managing to do this? Surely it requires a permission in Android to access the list of installed apps, right?

I recall Dorsey publicly coming out in support of Elon's Twitter well after the sale. Maybe there was no ethical conflict for Dorsey and he likes what he sees.

Yeah, maybe all of this wouldn't have happened if the equity was split among the employees.

This is an astonishingly well written, nuanced, and level headed response. Really on a level I'm not used to seeing on this platform.

I don't think waving away being a Luddite just by saying so makes it so.

I can't think of a single angle of principled moral theory that makes this okay. Vandalizing or stealing someone else's property they paid for. Hurting both the restaurant and the customer by depriving them of their food. Holding back progress on an invention that can reduce the need for humans to engage in a type of work that is hard, dangerous at times, and low paid.

From a purely rational on paper view, it doesn't look terribly different than saying vandalizing or stealing from delivery vehicles driven by people isn't wrong. What possible justification could there be for this view besides Ludditism fuck robots?

I used to do this. I thought it was awesome but I was literally the only person I ever knew who did this. It was not a popular thing to do.

Took me a while to figure out how to sign in with my lemdro.id account.

Maybe it's embarrassing to admit but I must have scanned through that long list of servers five times before realizing I could just type in my own server. Could be helpful to add a line inviting users to type in their own server.
