Unfortunately, in the fediverse you often experience a huge level of entitlement. Everyone is able to explain what’s best for you and humanity, what you should do and you should don’t. Basically Twitter and Facebook of people criticising the two platforms. However, as it happens also somewhere else, you also experience a very good place for discussion, often better than other platforms.
yes, that “kinds combined palm with a phone” it’s not so easy, as it’s not so easy to provide a UI that works fine and it’s easy to use. If this is not innovation, what is it? Now it looks easy, but it wasn’t the case. Marketing per se is not a bad thing, it’s a capitalistic society where companies need to sell and prevail over others and marketing helps inform/promote products.
I think we should deal with the fact that modern times were shaped by iPhones, not by Windows phones or any other pre-iPhone things. Technology evolves and being able to make a product that works for the majority and that its adoption changes the world we live in (for the better or the worse) must be recognised. Saying that Microsoft or whatever did something similar before is nonsense: everything is an evolution from the past. So we can be anti-Apple or anti-anything, but we should accept and stop minimising the fact that Apple changed things and made history.
Io su questo non sono d’accordo. Da un punto di vista etico sono d’accordo con te, le pubbliche amministrazioni dovrebbero utilizzare - quando possibile - software open source e incentivarne l’utilizzo. Però non è tutto rose e fiori, ci sono spesso costi più alti, problemi di sicurezza, scalabilità, mancanza di risorse e competenze ecc ecc. Il software proprietario non è il male assoluto e non dovremmo far passare questo messaggio. Viviamo in una società capitalistica che si fonda sull’impresa e sul lavoro come motore della nostra economia. È dovere delle amministrazioni far rispettare le regole alle aziende che sviluppano software e utilizzare esclusivamente i software che sono conformi alle leggi e che rispettino le regole del mercato e i diritti fondamentali.
I try to move extensions under that section, but it doesn’t allow me. Very weird because in the past it wasn’t an issue
