News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply
If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Ah yes, a chip from the nation with the most advanced hackin’ prowess pretty much in the world, who have developed and deployed zero click self-covering iPhone root exploits that could just be texted to someone to activate. Exactly where I want my chips to be made! Absolutely no chance at a backdoor there.
(I critique this as a long-time iOS user…)
And lets not forget the exploding pagers they made recently too
Those were the bomb!
can i get the iphone without the literally exploding back door
Apple:
Great; does it blow up in my pants if I say something remotely pro-Gaza?
All the major non-Chinese CPU developers (Intel, AMD, Arm and Apple) have chip design engineers in Israel. This has been going on for a long time (the Intel 8087 numeric coprocessor, from around 1980, was designed in Israel, and has the engineer’s Hebrew initials on the die).
Me thinks some things have changed for the worse between then and now.
I mean the magnitude of the thing has changed, but Israel has always been an immoral place to source goods and services from.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Pick virtually any advanced technology or scientific field and there's at least one lab or company right at the cutting edge in Israel. This country has very little natural resources, a small population, has been sanctioned and blockaded in one way or another since day one, so it was an obvious choice to heavily invest into education, research and high-tech manufacturing. That's why the gap in capabilities and standard of living between Israel and its neighbors has been ever widening.
It's very much comparable to Taiwan in this regard and the end result is similar: You're likely owning a whole lot of devices with tech from both countries (at the very least tech based on patents from there) or have been unknowingly using it in some other fashion.
All of this took smart minds many decades to build up. Unfortunately, Netanyahu is squandering his nation's potential with his selfish and criminal recklessness.
Switch to a Fairphone with /e/os. Ethically sourced components, replaceable parts. Privacy focused OS. No built-in Google dependencies.
And the homescreen looks and behaves much like iOS.
It's what I'm using right now.
You can change the homescreen!
How is this not satire? This is suppose to be satire.
I’m sticking with an SE3 running iOS 17 until it’s completely irreparable and then I’m leaving the Apple ecosystem for good.
Because of the Trump support, I pledged to only buy secondhand Apple hardware so Apple didn’t get any more money from me. Before that, I cut all Apple services including paid iCloud because of Hong Kong.
You did it, Tim Cook, you made me hate the best computers and devices I’ve ever used.
Of course they are. Game knows game, and evil knows evil.
The people who brought you the disaster that is iOS 26, say hold my beer and watch this.
Globally sourced thing is globally sourced.
