Flash chips are cheap as actual potato chips, why are you arguing for phones to be shipped with less onboard storage, especially when SD cards aren’t guaranteed

Fondly remember Google’s back and forth rocking with just-in-time and ahead-of-time compilation every other Android version with Dalvik/ART. Guess it’s been a while since they’ve rocked to AOT

Ah yes, the exact reason why Google said giving apps Bluetooth or Wifi access is dangerous and tied it to location for so long

Well this is Interesting.

Video storage and bandwidth is probably my most pressing concern, but that’s the same as with peertube, no?

Speaking of which, are they going to consult with PeerTube for cross compatibility?

On the low end, yearly OS upgrade compliance.

On the high end, dealing with the Kafkaesque whims of the App and Play stores randomly deciding to nuke your app (and thus business) from orbit as an “oopsie”

Clearly you haven’t dealt with a Mastodon instance having a major defederation event.

For most users, regardless of the validity of the defed, the user experience is terrible. Their social graph just suddenly, stops working, the people they follow can no longer see their posts, all because of the actions of a few bad actors or administration failures.

This paired with the fact that maybe only Firefish or Misskey lets you (mostly) seamlessly migrate to a new instance with your data intact, and the lack of a standard way to see what followers you will actually keep when you migrate, means that the defederation experience is sucks, and migrating to a different instance to escape that is a pain in the ass.

Meta has already shown it has piss poor moderation in the best of times, and actively boosts incendiary content in the worst of times, all while collecting, profiling, and exploiting your data. It’s literally inevitable that they’re going to break the rules of all but the free-est of free speech Instances, so for the privacy, safety, and headaches of everyone in the fediverse, we might as well save ourselves the trouble.**

Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games

Why can’t you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can’t believe I wrote that sentence)

Well, TF|2 just got a flurry of fixes and activity recently, so they seem to be eying the market for potential future titles
