@NintendoAmerica Hi, just wanted to let you know that because of your ridiculous lawsuit, I bought Palworld today instead of #PokemonScarletViolet. I hope the #streisandeffect bites you hard.

@NintendoCoLtd Thanks to you I just bought a copy of Palworld.

@MaxRovensky @onbeeper The only explanation I can think for behavior like yours is that your entire personality is tied up in being an Apple user and more people using imessage threatens your self esteem.

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@onbeeper They say they "took steps to protect our users" but what they did was punish their users for the sin of wanting a better and more secure experience talking to friends and family.

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@onbeeper Apple's actions are absolutely disgraceful, nerfing hardware their own customers paid them thousands of dollars for, without warning, evidence, or explanation.

[Beeper @beeper]

Apple banned some Beeper user Mac computers, New York Times investigated, Apple unbanned.

The saga continues! Even after we've shifted our energy from iMessage back to our core Beeper product (15 network universal chat app), Apple cannot seem to get enough!

Here's the TLDR:

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

America is in the middle of a full-blown housing crisis. There are a lot of ways to measure it, but I’ll start with the most basic: We are 7 million units short of what we need to house people. What can we do? Increase the housing supply. It's plain old Econ 101.

@ChipotleTweets You're getting dunked on Lemmy right now FYI. If you ever decide to help that would be pretty cool.

@ChipotleTweets Hey, your website email validation is broken and won't let me login. It says "Looks like an invalid email. Try again?"

My email address is the same one I've been logging in with for years. I promise you it is valid.

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@ChipotleTweets It sounds like I'm locked out of my Chipotle account forever

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@ChipotleTweets lolololol

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@onbeeper How do we know if we're being affected?

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@venture_safari @captaingandalf @onbeeper @Apple My communication with everybody except Apple users works perfectly

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Beeper testified at a hearing I held on the impact of monopoly power on innovation, and now we are seeing that impact in real time. Apple is blocking their app that increases choice and convenience. We must pass my bipartisan legislation to stop this anticompetitive abuse.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Green bubble texts are less secure. So why would Apple block a new app allowing Android users to chat with iPhone users on iMessage? Big Tech executives are protecting profits by squashing competitors.

Chatting between different platforms should be easy and secure.

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@ianzelbo @onbeeper Of course they think it's a safe if not risky business model. Otherwise they wouldn't have invested so much money into their business model.

@ericmigi Mr Migicovsky, tear down that wall (ed garden)

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@powercreek @RonAmadeo You don't understand wanting to have group convos or use e2e encryption or send videos to people in a message?

[Chris Bauer @cfbauer]

@ericmigi Bro we need updates, I don't know if I've been missing messages all day
