Isn’t that just what the HomePods run?

Apparently it’s audioOS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioOS

Hmm that’s a scary conspiracy. Seems like checking that there are at least a handful of contributors needs to be part of adding new dependencies.

Honestly, too long. I think 8” really is the sweet spot. I hate long cables!

Different regions do get different devices though. US gets a different 5G antenna, and chime gets dual physical sims, just as examples. I’m sure there are other differences between regional variants.

iPhone “color” rumors are like spoilers to an episode of MASH. Who even cares? On that note, I’ll just make my own prediction that the next iPhone will probably come in a dark grayish-black color, among others. Where’s my leaker money?

See, I think that was the plan all along, to totally own all the losers that pirated GoT, by totally spoiling the show for everyone.

You’re insane if you actually believe that this will happen, but also I hope it does. I reckon they’re more likely to change their position on homosexuality.

From a product perspective, I really disagree.

Twitter’s value is/was that it was ubiquitous. Everyone (important) was there and it was the only Twitter-like thing that there was. Even the Pope tweets. I guarantee you the Pope will never be on Mastodon. Not that any of us necessarily care about updates from the Pope or Lebron James or whoever, but your favorite journalist was, and the developers of all your favorite indie iOS apps were, and if you live in a city, your local public transit authority was likely there as well. Twitter was really the only place for microblogging type of content.

On the other hand, Reddit is, by nature, just a centralized collection of forums, which I think is far more easily recreated in a decentralized way. You already have posts organized into communities, now with Lemmy we’re just adding another layer of organization on top of that. As another commenter said, much of Reddit’s value is that it was the place where someone asked the same question you now have and so you can read those answers, but Twitter’s value really is for real time communications.

The issue I see with both frankly is search. It can be kinda hard with either to find the community/discussions that are interesting and relevant to you, but hopefully that will improve.
