The way they got iMessage to work is by hiring a Foss developer who did something pretty amazing:

They reverse engineered the iMessage protocol and emulated parts of macOS that are necessary when registering an iMessage account on a device!!

Sadly I have no solid proof but Netflix did continue supporting the Original iPad (on iOS 5.1.1) using the old client for quite a while

Edit# NVM there it is, actual proof lmao https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=DVAZbsVvQqE it's towards the end of the video but yea, the old client did continue to work in 2019

What's their incentive? A crypto token that relies on you viewing ads to gain more of said token.

They probably don't track you if you have all that crap disabled, but they definitely don't want you to have it disabled. So no, I don't trust them, it's like trusting a wolf that says it's vegan.

It could be saying the truth, but just like how they murdered Braver/Bold, that wolf is probably eating your neighbouring farm's sheep

I have no idea why the millennial vs gen z debate is trending right now but I just love it

I legitimately didn't know something like this existed, thank you. is there any reason why one would continue using normal disposable floss rather than a water flosser?
