Look you retards, when the posts here are basically the same thing every single day and the bot has like 3 different phrases, of course they are going to match up a lot. You idiots post links to anything that matches up with your gay ass drama buzzwords. I donāt get how the circlejerk of regulars donāt get bored of this place but I guess that is because of their incredibly low mental capacity. How many times can you say ādude bussy lmaoā without wanted to blow your brains out?
I look forward to the day that socialism will give me my very own, uh, X-Man. Even if I only own the IP of that one who's, like, green or blue, and he, like, has a tongue power or whatever--oh man, now you've got me excited.
In her quest to ābreak up Big Tech,ā Sen. Elizabeth Warren says Apple should not be able to run the App Store and sell its own apps on it.
Iām confused. Apple has, like, two apps that it charges for on its App Store. The rest are just the shit that comes with your phone or computer so you can download them if you ever deleted them (or never initially downloaded them) for whatever reason.
I think Warren is genuinely just dumb. Have you heard her talk in Congress? Painful stuff.
I hate to bring up an analogy gaymerz will understand but imagine if Valve wasnāt allowed to sell Half-Life or Counter Strike on Steam. That would be so retarded.
Those stores also usually donāt have a monopoly on the formats they sell lol
Also itās not like the stores actually make the store brand stuff, it comes from generic producers. All they commission is the label, when they can even be bothered
But they still gatekeep what products are allowed in the store. If apple contracted a company to make an app then put the apple name on it be any different? They sell you a product that let's you access their curated store. It's no different than Sony or Xbox having digital stores that sell software that can only be run on the device they sell.
Swift is a lot better than Objective-C, in the way that back acne is better than pancreatic cancer.
At least most of the code actually looks like code now, but itās probably the most inconsistent, least streamlined proprietary language ever built. And you STILL gotta use Objective-C for a lot of shit
That being said, I actually really like Xcode as an IDE. That genuinely is a plus.
In the absolute loosest sense of āopen-source,ā probably. 95% of Swift development and just about all of its publication is locked behind proprietary resources
Her problem is that she has no fucking clue what an āApp Storeā is. Probably banking on retarded Boomers nodding their heads at something that sounds like a big deal.
Presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to break up Apple by separating its control of the App Store from its ability to sell its own apps on its marketplace
Chief Mommy and her People, from the Dutch fur trade and the wampum market up till now, have always wanted control of the markets. Smdh
I dropped out of college after the first year of majoring in compsci. I was so stoked about learning to code but I hated it. Do you make good cash though?
Yeah especially like news apps or other apps that basically just open the webpage in the app. Like itās easier just to go to the internet browser and go to website I want versus opening an app I probably have tucked away in a folder.
That annoys the shit out of me. I got the imdb app so I could add movies to my watchlist that people recommended to me, but it's more clunky than just visiting imdb in Chrome
Tech companies shit all over the old guard media in the last decade.
Look at the consolidation in old media companies. There is about a half dozen companies left. They all have very cozy relationships with each other and rarely compete directly. They're fat and lazy and ripe for getting fucked by new players, like big tech companies.
Netflix and Amazon are two of the largest TV/movie studios now. Amazon is one of the largest boon publishers be ause of self-publishing.
So now the media are targeting tech companies with their control of the media narrative.
And they're all running "think pieces" about how big and evil tech companies are.
Amazon triggered the publishing industry by trying to bust up their monopoly, even the DoJ got involved, but eventually the publishers got their way and raised prices. Right after Amazon pissed them off guess who became "evil big tech company #1" in a hundred articles?

Why? Google should be first on the chopping block, Disney afterward.
1 throwaway-familyhelp 2019-03-11
She wants to go after (((Google))) too
1 muffler_kek 2019-03-11
Disney should be first Tbh, break up the Capeshit and Spaceshit and drama would be pretty good

Lol might as well just campaign on crashing the economy and inviting the Chinese to control your entire tech infrastructure

Iām not sure what her problem with that is.

Yes itās a bizarre tangent.
āYou shouldnāt be selling your own products on your own marketplace!ā
What?
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
no no no
they should be forced to sell their apps on someone elseās marketplace.
Apple should not be allowed to run the Apple App Store
1 The_Long_Connor 2019-03-11
But that doesn't make sense. Plenty of stores have branded products like store brand food and shit.
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
Those stores also usually donāt have a monopoly on the formats they sell lol

1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
nope. i donāt have any problem with them making the product though lol, i was just being pedantic.
but iām for anything that could make the App Store not run by Apple.
Yeah, youāre right. And fuck Sony, Xbox and Nintendo too. Nintendo especially shouldnāt be allowed to run a store.
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
my problem with it is getting an App approved is a pain in the fucking ass
they should be broken up for their shitty dev support alone
1 forward_dawn 2019-03-11
Poorfag detected
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
nah, ex-poorfag. fuck iOS development, now I got a cushy corporate gig that doesnāt expect deliverables theyāll be held publicly accountable for
1 forward_dawn 2019-03-11
As a Go dev, Iām sure it canāt be that bad now that Swift exists
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11

1 forward_dawn 2019-03-11
Isnāt swift open source?
Also, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior, VS Code?
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
In the absolute loosest sense of āopen-source,ā probably. 95% of Swift development and just about all of its publication is locked behind proprietary resources
And sure, gimme the pitch
1 forward_dawn 2019-03-11
It's basically just an empty text editor with amazing plugins and really good configurability (JSON if you're so inclined).

You think he went just far enough?
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
anybody could run that thing better than Apple tbh, fuck em
1 jaredschaffer27 2019-03-11
I don't use the App Store because I still have some latent heterosexuality in my body somewhere.
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
i had to work with it once
1 jaredschaffer27 2019-03-11
Were you coding? Or were you Codeine? lol drugs amirite?
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
yes to all those things but not very much of the second
1 jaredschaffer27 2019-03-11
I dropped out of college after the first year of majoring in compsci. I was so stoked about learning to code but I hated it. Do you make good cash though?
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
iād say so, but i have low standards lol
1 jaredschaffer27 2019-03-11
Hey man I'm with you. I make 20-25 an hr as a draftsman when I'm not traveling and that is a fuckton of money for my cheap ass.
1 Zac1245 2019-03-11
I donāt even remember the last time I downloaded an app. It has to have been months.
1 jaredschaffer27 2019-03-11
Same, every now and then I look for a new word game but what else is there that really adds to your life?
1 Zac1245 2019-03-11
Yeah especially like news apps or other apps that basically just open the webpage in the app. Like itās easier just to go to the internet browser and go to website I want versus opening an app I probably have tucked away in a folder.

1 boyoyoyoyong 2019-03-11
I like the idea of going after businesses like google but come on 1k a month>breaking up tech monopolies
1 Vladith 2019-03-11
Yang is probably pro-monopoly right?
1 nio151 2019-03-11
Seems like he prefers lowering barriers of entry for monopolistic markets in order to weaken them.
1 BeiberFan123 2019-03-11
Everyone starts out with $1500 whenever you play so he must.
1 9SidedPolygon 2019-03-11
We can always break up the tech monopolies after we get the 1k a month, but they can't take back our 1k a month because it's an entitlement.
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
ok you got me iām on board
1 tHeSiD 2019-03-11
Telling the verge that she is gonna breakup apple is some real power move.
1 OccasionallyClueless 2019-03-11
Why āBig Techā?
Why not start with Media and IT companies? These have more obvious effects on our society and are already hugely anti-competitive.

Didn't Amazon get flak for its treatment of employees tho?
1 cheers_grills 2019-03-11
Imagine caring about wagecucks lmao
They will be replaced by robots anyway
1 nio151 2019-03-11
Because breaking up tech companies leads to more news coverage.
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
iām pretty sure IT companies are supposed to be Big Tech, but
less brand recognition
1 OccasionallyClueless 2019-03-11
you right, Iām pretty sure I meant Telecom companies
1 grungebot5000 2019-03-11
oh yeah those need to be broken the fuck up.
including sony, though. do we just take back its subsidiaries, or invade japan? i mean weāve already done the work
1 OccasionallyClueless 2019-03-11
I donāt think we have to invade Japan, but in all the confusion, we might get away with full blown annexation.
