  • Oh you’re one of those. So are you the Russian or MAGA type? Which dumbfuck propaganda machine that relies on having no individual critical thinking capability do you get your talking points from? Doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same in the end.

    I’m not a mod or an admin. But ml is well known to block anything critical of Russian propaganda and claim all sorts of unrelated reasons that never actually apply. Just taking a quick stroll through the public mod logs shows that every day. Just imagine what they’re scrubbing from public view.

    Who the fuck uses mailing lists anymore? It’s 2025.

    I bet you still use text-based BBS and IRC too. Probably use Arch too based on the insufferable responses.

    Its cool though, your opinion of how it should work is the only one that matters, not the actual reality of how 99% of users do things and how they expect things to work.

    Thats a lot of words to try and justify not understanding that’s how 99% of people use email.

    It’s the default way hitting reply basically everywhere formats a response email. It’s also the way email responses to automated ticketing systems like zendesk tell you to respond, literal instructions at the top of their email saying “please type your reply above this line”.

    So that’s what people do. Your preference is nothing compared to 99% of user expectations.

    Because that’s not how it was ever intended to be read. Look at it from a different perspective.

    When quoting a tweet, it’s laid out like an email. Responses are at the top of the email, not the bottom. You go down as you go back through the email chain. The bottom one is the first one. It’s not laid out for sharing a screenshot of a conversation, because that was never the intended use case of the layout.

    From that perspective, the layout makes complete sense, and it works perfectly for its intended use. Posting random screenshot out of context to social media was not a consideration.




  • Revenue is not profit, and even then its not about whether they have the raw cash. Monthly, and quarterly, and or even yearly payment raw cash flow isn’t how any healthy business operates.

    They still have to maintain the existing network, continually upgrade that network, plan and test for future upgrades costing tens of billions in additional capital expenditures, and pay for all of the network support, customer support, and marketing, and and sales teams behind it all.

    All of that has to be funded via those profits across years of infrastructure planning. If they don’t have the money when a new generation of technology comes on the market, then they don’t have a way to upgrade their network.

    Covering an additional 25% increase in cost for your overpriced Apple TV subscription is a very low fucking priority.

    No one is leaving T-Mobile because Apple is raising the price and T-Mobile isn’t covering it. They’re leaving because they’re already considering it and this is a final straw. Despite that also meaning they’ll be paying Apple $12.99 for it instead of $3 through T-Mobile. But I guess paying $13 more for it instead of $3 must somehow make sense for some people.



  • If you mean by Apple, then yes. The Apple TV add-on pricing is increasing by $3 on both the currently free add-on, and the separate purchase. You want them to just eat that $3/month additional per customer?

    What am I saying, of course you do. It’s obvious based on your original response. You have been getting this perk for nearly 5 years already. You still get the same perk, T-Mobile paying for the plan up to a specific amount. Apple has increased their price and T-Mobile isn’t going to cover that increase for you.
