When I got my daughter Minecraft last year the website and downloadable app loader just stalled forever and nothing would load. I didn't even know Microsoft had an app store let alone that the store itself needed to be opened and updated manually to fix dependencies that other programs and sites need to function properly. I was impressed how awful the whole experience was from start to finish.

As long as JA is still doing smack and Trent Reznor is pissing off Elon Musk, I guess I'm ok with Billy Corgan being a loving weirdo.

As far as I know Spotify, Netflix et al provide in app links for people to sign up for subscriptions via their respective websites, to bypass this 30% fee. Apple seems to be ok with them and other big hitters doing this, and I presume would be with Twitter as well.

Did not know that, that's neat. Do the links take you out of the app to a webpage? That might be the loophole. Regardless, I guess that means Twitter could do that too if they were clever about it. But maybe Elon already fired the people clever enough to loophole the Apple TOS. Or he just really wants to attack Apple because he likes to make himself out as an underdog in the fight against Big Tech. I wonder if the current Musk fan boys would've been Jobs fanboys when he was still alive, I can only assume so because there's a lot of overlap there

I only started using it las year but it's pretty good overall I only use it for gamepass games because that's a good deal. My only issue is if the computer goes to sleep you have to restart it for the performance tools to work again. Everything screams that the user doesn't have permission to use performance tools. Which is bullshit it's admin even ran the drat program as admin.

I'll buy that it had a rough start it had a bad rep but hey I had a free trial and wanted to play the games and stuck around.

If it was a quality car, I'd still drive one, because the CEO of every company ever is a right wing dip poo poo, so what can you do. The issue is that Teslas are garbage tier death traps, and intentionally designed to be.

I've driven 2 Elantras and a Veloster for a while and I've always been impressed with Hyundais and the Kias people I know have owned, and I've heard good stuff about their EVs. One of the Hyundai Auto Group manufacturers was probably gonna be my first pick to check out when we finally bite the bullet on an EV anyway.

Yup, I drove one of the originals a couple time, loved the car (never used the autopilot because I didn't trust it even then), but yeah there's no way I'd touch a Tesla at all now.

Yeah, Teslas don't seem to be very competitive around here anymore. All the major manufacturers have caught up now and have much better offers in the mid and luxury price segments. The only thing Tesla still has going for it is its image, the charging network and availability. They really need to do something if they want to continue with this growth rate.

Apple isn't ok with it but they don't have the weight to force it. Before Musk, twitter would have been one of the apps that I'd say were big enough to get away with ducking the apple tax. If twitter blue had ever mattered to twitter they could have done that. They didn't bother because

Now though? LMAO. Apple can push them around a lot more. There's been so much bad news about twitter, if they get dropped from the app store it'll be understood that twitter is a mess.

netflix is part of FAANG and does some magical poo poo to make sure a lovely phone in a semidead zone can get HD 0s and 1s. with barely any shuttering. Spotify and other major music apps all do great 0s and1 stuff.

given how bird was never part of FAANG before and its currently occasional chugging just to show mostly text posts. lol

also reminder that musky probably begged the polytop game devs to put their game on Teslas because he was probably addicted to it at the time and that the cars bald the tires because you need to turn the steering wheel to move through menus.

Same. I used to want a Tesla. Now I want an electric pickup. Granted that has a lot to do with how much poo poo I'm carrying around in/on my car all the time lately since I'm redoing my house. But still why bother with the overpriced, overhyped car that comes with loving car DLC when I could just get a relatively normal pickup that's theoretically just way better at towing.
