- Comment on Tenacious iPhone user finally unlocks phone locked for almost a decade 1 month ago:
I’m sorry, what? I guess I’ll just add this to my list of reasons I’m glad I use Android
My old Sony android phone did a factory reset in my pocket because I supposedly got the unlock code wrong a few times.
I never touched the damned thing and the first I knew about it was because my pocket felt warm.

- Comment on Maybe It Should Be Illegal To Instantly Delete A Website's Archives - Aftermath 2 months ago:
What? No. What utter nonsense.
I should be able to remove a website that I created and paid for without there being some silly law that I have to archive it.
As the owner, it’s up to me if I want it up or not. After all, I’m paying for the bloody thing.

Just buy an older supported device if grapheneos is important to you. Something like a 6 pro would be fine.
- Comment on “Should art be regulated by the SEC?” NFT artists file lawsuit 2 months ago:
Why did a moderator remove my comment?
Do you want this place to die? Because excessive moderation is how this place dies.
- Comment on “Should art be regulated by the SEC?” NFT artists file lawsuit 2 months ago:
It’s not even that.
There is a huge lack of insight into who owns the copyright of an NFT. This confusion likely stems from the fact that an NFT comprises two things: (i) the identifiable, non-fungible, non-replicable, and transferrable cryptographic asset recorded on the blockchain, and (ii) the creative content. The creative content is separate and distinct from the actual asset recorded on the blockchain. As such, the person or entity that created the creative content owns the copyright. The content creator continues to own the copyright, even if the NFT is sold to someone else. It’s analogous to Jeff Koons selling artwork he created—Koons can sell the art to one person to hang on their wall, but since Jeff also owns the copyright, he can sell that same artwork as an image on t-shirts.

NFTs are literally just URLs, pointlessly stored on the blockchain. URLs that point to servers which can be switched off at any moment.

GeckoView more specifically in this case. But yes.
- Comment on European iPhones are more fun now 2 months ago:
Sure you can. Car manufacturers do it today.
You will have to define “3 years” as well. It can’t be a blanket 3 calendar year thing, it would have to be X number of cycles which the average user would realistically hit with 3 years of usage. Not someone glued to their phone playing games all day that need to charge three times a day.

The rendering engine.
Currently Firefox on iOS is “just” a skin around the iOS provided renderer.

How the fuck is this “technology”? This community is flying very close to the line of what is in topic most of the time anyway. This by far and away crosses it.
It’s YouTube drama and it doesn’t belong here. I’m not saying it’s not interesting/important but it’s off topic and doesn’t belong here.

I remember when someone posted a joke Slashdot with a fake screenshot of Windows advising a user to switch away from Firefox and back to IE.
Everyone lost their minds on what was an obvious joke. An unthinkable thing for Microsoft to do.
Yet here we are…
