  Why are they removing support though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly this. He made an offer publicly, which was accepted and legally binding. He overpaid substantially and proceeded to run the company into the ground.

  Because hexbear users would never do that, right? You’re fighting your battle on the wrong battleground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. unveils sweeping sanctions targeting Russia's wartime economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It will create more animosity towards Putin from his own people and weaken his position even further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with rcs is that it needs to work without a data connection like sms. For that to work, every single mobile operator needs to support it and route it. For that to work they need to work together. The problem is they don’t and there are different implementations, some don’t support it at all. Even when they do, the phone needs to support it. Google is now at a point where they have rcs capable messaging on every recent Android version. Apple is now also integrating rcs into iOS. They are circumventing the operator problem by enabling rcs over wifi or your subscription data. But that’s a workaround, because it requires data, while sms just requires a cellphone signal. Until operators start working together to enable and relay rcs messages, Google and Apple habe the monopoly by having rcs routed directly to their messaging apps over the internet instead of directly to the device like sms does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The C̶a̶k̶e̶ User Location is a Lie!!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding location for the purpose of determining what language to render the app or website in: the article skips over the fact that users can configure their preferred and fallback languages in the browser. It’s perfectly possible to access that in JavaScript and render the app or website accordingly. You don’t need location information for that. In fact, it totally ignores the fact that some people live (or are visiting) in a region but don’t necessarily speak the language. I find it super annoying when google presents me with suggestions or ads for local businesses when I’m on vacation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rotation of Earth's inner core is slowing down⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pages and pages of filler text, followed and interrupted by twice as much advertisements which are either clearly clickbait or misinformation.

  This site is the definition of enshittification of the Internet.

  I will save you a click and give you the last sentence, which is the conclusion, and probably the reason you want to read the article: While this change may alter the length of a day by fractions of a second, it won’t be noticeable, the researchers said.
