For the longest time I never thought I’d see anything like that. Most people were too comfortable. Some always had too little and some too much, but it wasn’t going to upend society.
But lately, sheesh. It seems both more likely and more necessary. I can’t tell what is increasing faster, the anger of the working class or the brazen indifference of the owner class.
Yeah, at first I was going to agree that it’s sad that the general population doesn’t care much about slave labor in their iPhones as long as it saves them money and doesn’t get blood directly on their hands.
But then I think that is kinda true of the whole phone market.
But then I think that is kinda true of the whole everything market!
And once again a Lemmy comment comes to the conclusion that capitalism is the problem, lol.
But Apple is the most valuable company in the world, and therefore is the most capitalism, so I guess that makes it OK again to single them out.
This guy MBAs.
Yeah, or since people are going to want their cute colored cables, do colored stripes on the connectors or something. Even on the metal connector itself, but not on the inside like old USB-A connectors.
There’s really no need to take sides when it comes to the phones from giant corporation A vs giant corporation B. To most users, an iPhone is a hand-held screen that launches your apps, just like everything else from a bloated Samsung to a Graphene’d Pixel.
And it’s not that I want to defend Apple on Lemmy, so I’m not gonna, but it seems like all the other mainstream options are as bad or worse in many areas. (Privacy, duration of software support, etc)
I suspect this was only an argument to make them hard to repair, as always
They don’t mind the benefit, for sure. But as somebody who worked in manufacturing support jobs up until a couple years ago, I’m 90% confident it’s just faster and cheaper to glue them. Probably easier to automate too. Again it just comes down to money.
Just thinking of the scale of R&D for something like a flagship phone, there are a LOT of person-hours dedicated to manufacturability.
Like that but way bigger. The fuel is still in solid form and stored in giant heavy dry casks that essentially armor that fuel from the outside world.
Yeah or put another way: All that nuclear waste we occasionally talk about burying under a mountain has something like more than 90% of its energy left.
I do not understand the outrage on this (regard Musk being Far-Right supporter), everyone knows Musk has become an immensely Extreme Far-Right supporter and leans heavily into Fascism.
It doesn’t have to be surprising to outrage people though.
I almost never use it, but if LibreOffice can come in handy a few times a year, why not at least keep it installed?
A lot of stuff is indeed browser based, so I probably spend more time in Firefox than in my code editor and terminal.
But LibreOffice is welcome to live on 0.1% of my disk space!
This is so great to see, and the timing is perfect.
My son already calls the PC Steam, as in “we played game A on Xbox and game B on Steam,” so maybe by the time he has a PC in his room Steam really will run the whole platform.
I’m sure he will help end the war and the suffering. But in the monkey’s paw style.
I don’t disagree in many cases, but I think there is a lot of ignorance and low-information voting involved too.
The two go hand in hand though.
I like this new world of ours where CEOs get the public recognition they deserve for all the hard work they do.
Thank you, CEOs, for giving us somebody to look up to. By name.
How can one be denied and the other given a pass,
Unfortunately I think the honest answer is something like “fuck off, pleb”
legally?
Oh sorry, I missed that last word there. In that case I think the answer is something like “fuck off, counselor”
Boy I hope no future healthcare CEO assassins copy this calling card, and I especially hope their bullet shells aren’t covered with the names of people killed by the CEO’s company denying them healthcare.
Not only would that encourage more copy cats, but it would really capture people’s attention and get them thinking about the issue. If the public starts considering crazy propaganda like how seeking maximum profit at the expense of widespread human suffering might not be life’s most noble pursuit, just imagine what could happen!
Surely you’d make an exception if the mass-market seasoning used on a CEO was sold by that CEO’s own company!
My work dell has that stupid issue too.
Or at least it did, until I booted into Mint for the first time. 4 screens immediately usable. Boot back into Windows and it goes back to not working. You get one monitor mirrored.
Maybe they have some shady limitation in a driver unless you have the highest end models?
On my work machine, just a Dell laptop with a dock and some monitors, Mint Cinnamon actually gave me a better out-of-box than win10.
I didn’t try Mint until 21 (the version before current) and it’s just so smooth now.
I wonder what the balance is between that killer conditioning & training coming right back to the streets versus an unexpected career that takes the person away from the gang.
