U.S. Sues Apple, Accusing It of Maintaining an iPhone Monopoly in c/technology
[–] iWantaSandwhich 20 points 1 year ago

I liked this paragraph from the filing, felt like a slight dig at their think different marketing:

Apple keenly understands that while a community of developers and accessory makers is indispensable to the success of the iPhone , they also pose an existential threat to its extraordinary profits by empowering consumers to "think different" and choose perfectly functional , less-expensive alternative smartphones .

What's the story behind your username? in c/askbeehaw

I was hungry and was thinking about making a sandwich

My boss told me, after pointing out a small mistake in my code, that "if someone cares enough about their work, they won't make little mistakes like this" in c/neurodivergence

Always solid advice. We all have sore spots, so to speak, that bother us more when poked, but yes, always good to keep things in perspective.

It is one of my biggest pet peeves surrounding how people often misunderstand performance for someone with ADHD like myself. Of course everyone makes mistakes from time to time, but those with ADHD often struggle with making little mistakes, and often have to try even harder to avoid those types of mistakes. I care deeply about my work, and I struggled in my younger years with feelings of inadequacy, and when people chalked my mistakes or under-performing to some sort of moral failing, it really hurt. These days, through better understanding of ADHD, and how my brain works and what its quirks are, I don't feel inadequate, but I still get angry when I encounter it. Don't you dare tell me I don't care about my work because I made a mistake.

For the curious, I did this in my code: {{ conditional }} instead of {% conditional %} in a Twig template by accident.

Anyone still have a 3rd party Reddit app on their phone? in c/askbeehaw

Reddit Is Fun is still working for me in my phone for whatever reason. I'm logged out, and I kept waiting for it to stop working but as of typing this on July 4th, it still loads content. No idea why it still works (I didn't patch it) or if it'll stop working any day now.

Perhaps you didn't think of classical music per se, but this is one of my favorite pieces of music, from Mahler's "Tragic" symphony, written during a rather good period of his life if memory serves. He also didn't call it "tragic himself" I believe. Just a beautiful movement that stands on its own.

I don't think we should strive to have as big a userbase as reddit. in c/chat

Very well said. I think Lemmy can be valuable in how it can build its own culture and community, and after some time I think the Reddit drama will die down, and we can see what we can build here in Federated land.
