They’ve actually done the exact opposite. The lobbying, the import laws, the absence of a foreign export market, and the manufacturing of cars that would never pass safety laws anywhere else, all resulted in the kind of dogshit that Americans have to experience now. Why improve if you’re the only player
They can keep this privacy invading dogshit to themselves
The most likely answer is it’ll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He’s more likely to die, before he’ll see any kind of real punishment for anything.
Now that he’s about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving
Lawmakers are grappling with how to address …
Just a reminder that the government is actively voting against regulations on AI, because obviously a lot of these people are pocketing lobbyist money
No one gets a third term, and that’s not negotiable. They can get the guillotine though
Didn’t think it could get worse, and yet here we are. Not sure if it were an experiment, but for a while now my search results were always exactly 5 relevant videos, a block of shorts, and then just completely unrelated stuff.
I don’t really understand why we can’t have it, like it was before. If you’re subbed to a channel, you get the videos in your feed as they come in, and search just works as intended.
They are engineering solutions for problems that don’t need to exist
I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it’s always those “young people” ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40’s. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.
The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don’t pay anything, through loopholes and theft
The lone defender of the billionaires at this point says everything we need to know
What are they so afraid of? They’re public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don’t like it, get off the government payroll
The “autopilot”
That’s the obvious answer, but it was available long before the orange twat too
I genuinely cannot understand how this 4th reich mobile is legally allowed to not just have this feature available to the public, but also sell it for a considerable amount of money. Even on US roads, it is not even remotely close to ready
People will inevitably die as a result of this change. Call your representatives
If this were an optional “skin” of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don’t like the design direction, nor the performance implications
Was this not already common sense?
Still has an LCD panel, and still has regular sticks. I guess saving 0.10$ per unit adds up
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that they should just say okay, installing instagram from a Limewire download is the intended path now.
Using AUR or Nixpkgs to install your stuff is perfectly acceptable to me, for these exact reasons. You have a choice, you’re choosing your preference, and at the end of the day you get a vetted source from a trusted repository.
Choice is what matters to people, and it’s being taken away from them. But even beyond that, if i wanted to install an “unsupported/untrusted” app on my device, that should fully be my choice
I still hate the term “sideloading”, when used in this context. You don’t “sideload” anything on your computer. You just install things, from wherever you damn desire.
They only started using the term here, to gaslight people into thinking that installing mobile apps from sources, other than the ones that give Apple money, is somehow insecure
I use Nix on my M1 Pro machine, and it’s by far my favorite laptop yet. The company and their business practices absolutely do suck though.
That said, there is certainly a middle ground for software there. I hate windows as much as the next guy, but macOS is at least Unix-adjacent, so it’s not a complete pain
Mass layoffs suck. Yet again it’s corporate mismanagement, at best.
But in all seriousness, what was even their role there? It’s a glorified social media platform with an occasional job application. They cant possibly need that many people
The connector itself is perfectly fine, which is incredible, and exactly what people wanted. Plus there’s a ton of room for technological improvement under the hood, if needed. USB/Thunderbolt standards spread for a whole range of specs now, all under the Type-C connector
