Clothing gets you negative comments. iMessage gets people to exclude you from group chats or even text messaging completely. It's become far more socially acceptable to isolate someone because of what they don't own.
Even if this were the same level of bullying, the amount of resources that Apple needs to fix this is negligible compared to clothing companies or whathaveyou. You can't update a shirt. You can easily update the color of a bubble or implement an industry standard. Apple refuses to even try to fix this issue, and in my eyes, they're 100% complicit in enabling bullying.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. The problem isn't the fact that the indicator exists. A lot of it is because it's an ugly green bubble, and Apple refuses to change it because bullying kids is great marketing for Apple.
India is a huge market for WhatsApp
Is it not proprietary due to carriers being extremely fussy?
To add onto what other commenters said:
- It isn't legally mandated, only customary
- If it was mandatory, such a mandate would probably be illegal
- Plenty of teachers and school officials (but not most) will be pissed/will punish you if you don't do the pledge.
I think projects like this are good, but I really don't want governments to create their own version of XYZ for the sake of creating clones of XYZ. I'm scared that all this will do is fragment an almost-universal collection of open-source projects into regional variants for no real reason.
There are way too many nice features on Windows that don't exist or are time consuming to set up on Linux. My only pain point on Windows, other than the stupid pop-ups advertising other services, are the fact that I can't install individual GNU tools like nano easily.
That is my point. What isn't necessarily obvious, though, is that the scrapable data is more comprehensive than what could be scraped on traditional platforms
Remember, if Meta can collect your data this way, any bad actor or government can as well.
Children deserve privacy like the rest of us do.
He probably got a good sentence considering he never stepped foot in a US prison
Please do Chrome first, though. At least Edge has introduced solid features, whereas Google has a history of limiting other browsers on its websites to promote Chrome.
The US government isn't gonna do anything like this unless it causes a huge fuss. The agencies responsible don't get enough funding to properly regulate the stuff they're supposed to, and they have to prioritize as a result.
I'm sure companies know this very well. Our rights as consumers have been slowly decaying for years, and we haven't seen much government action until recently.
This is a serious threat to our democracy.
Edit: This is extremely dangerous to our democracy*
I don't find it surprising given that the vast majority of people don't research the claims that other people make. For example, during the GameStop short squeeze, people came to the conclusion that corruption or collusion was at play, when in reality it wasn't for the most part.
People would rather listen to a guy who says something confidently than a guy who says "I don't know." The former gets to spread their word, and the latter gets ignored.
Why not make a better UI after ironing out the bugs?
I genuinely wonder why MS hasn't added FTP to Windows Explorer in all these years. It would've fixed so many issues
Eh, that would disincentivize long-term updates.
Instead, 5 or 10 years of inactivity should be more than enough leeway.
The way I see it isn't that stereotypes are inherently awful, it's that they have various levels of impact. Racism against African Americans is considered more heavily because they have such a long history of oppression that not many other groups have had. Most other groups didn't meet fierce resistance to obtaining basic rights for as long as they did
In most US states, you can be fired for any reason that isn't explicitly illegal.
Obviously it is so that the combatants can sit down for a nice waffle and a cup of coffee.
A group of workers at a Texas Dairy Queen were accused of using the store to peddle methamphetamine and police said 'Operation Blizzard' shut it down.
A woman who threw a bowl of hot food in the face of a Chipotle worker has been sentenced to a month in jail — and two months working a fast food job.
