What Happened? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 04:05 PM PDT Yesterday, we locked the subreddit in solidarity with a site-wide protest against Reddit. Here is some context from yesterday r/Apple will go private in protest of Reddit's recent decision to hire an admin who supports child sex crimes. We will open again eventually, but for now, the subreddit will be closed in solidarity with other large communities across Reddit. Aimee Knight (née Challenor) is an ex-politician from the UK Green party, who resigned from the party after it was revealed she kept her father on her election team after he was convicted of raping and torturing a child. Her spouse has also been known to tweet pro-pedophilic statements, but she is also the latest admin to be hired at Reddit, and she used her power to surpress and permanently suspend a moderator of r/ukpolitics who posted an article exposing her links to pedophilia and support of child sex crimes. Before you ask how long until the sub reopens, the answer is however long it takes for Reddit to take action. The decision by Reddit to protect a known proponent of child rape through censorship and suspension is absolutely disgusting and intolerable. We will remain private until further notice, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Read this post for more info: https://redd.it/mbmthf Earlier this evening, Reddit has fired that employee, so r/apple is now open. We want to thank everyone for their understanding and for their support over the past day. submitted by /u/aaronp613 [link] [comments]

Is the backend part of Siri the same on all devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac) and if not why not? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 05:31 AM PDT Just interested to know why there wouldn't be a single service on the back end regardless of the device on the front end which presumably just does a "convert voice to text instruction and 'send'" type o thing. submitted by /u/turbo_dude [link] [comments]
