And if I bring stuff to cater for myself such as halloumi, veg sausages, etc, don't expect me to share with you!

There are many others pulling his strings

Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it's not really going to happen.

Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.

Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren't happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.

Artists United Against Apartheid didn't play gigs in South African to protest the situation there.

If they had, it would have been a degree of complicity with the regime.

TBH, every major artist should loudly express that they are deliberately skipping playing in Malaysia for specific reasons.

The hubris that people like that guy have, precludes them from having any doubts about their judgment or ability, while seeing anyone with a contradiction opinion as "just not getting it".

They are high huffing their own jenkum

Aral Balkan has been posting about surveillance capitalism/centralised networks and corpotate landgrabs for years and said this the other day

oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse

tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."

can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case

To expedite the process, Mastodon instances should just defederate from them entirely. Don't let them access that data through ActivityPub.

When Twitter had an exodus to Mastodon and a lot of new instances popped up, several were quickly defederated because they were scraping data from other instances, which made a lot of people uncomfortable.

There were also a few far right instances that spun up that were also defederated and blocked within 24 hours so the communities ability to respond to situations like this is very much there and I'm sure that the vast majority will not want to have a single thing to do with meta

I think its a case that those who moved recently (my account here is recent but Ive been on Lemmy.ml for 2 years), had seen the writing on the wall.

When the effects start to kick in, there will be another few large influxes then when the majority left on Reddit wonder why the site went to shit overnight and where everyone else went, they will leave too.

It will be very similar to what happened with Digg all those years ago.

the average media person’s mentality is geared toward mass distribution

Even this 'writers' take is that their path was to move away from community and threaded conversations into monologues.

The guy is a self important twit full of bad takes

Was about to say the same.

Medium seems to be where all the people who used to post bad take blogs went to instead of self hosting
