absquatulate

This whole lemmy tankie dev thing has been discussed ad nauseam here for the past year or so. Not sure what solutions you suggest, but if I were to filter my software by who's an asshole dev and who's not, that list will end up really short.

As far as the ml instance goes, I don't agree that we should start defederating left and right with any and all undesirables, but to each their own. At least people now will be in the know, and it might take some weight off lemmy.world

Summary: Newspaper owned by american billionaire claims workers on the other continent should work harder.

I find it hilarious that they had to cherry pick some two-word sentences from those people to try and squeeze in the point, because otherwise their texts would've sounded more nuanced and we can't have that in a hard-working society.

What is worrying though, is that europe's share in the global market is shrinking, because at this point pretty much only they ( and to a lesser degree the US ) try to uphold somewhat higher ethical standards for the various industries. At this rate the world will be all abused workers and underwhelming products in just a couple decades.

For an article that size, it's surprisingly light on actual numbers and facts. A lot of auto-show impressions, lots of "ooh look at that" and "ooh that feels nice", even more he-said-she-saids, but no proper comparisons. It's also pretty incoherent and it features A LOT of chinese praise, including whole paragraphs of praising tiktok ( in a friggin car article ). Yeah, I'm not gonna hold my breath that "western car makers are cooked" just based on what this guy wrote.

I love the speed with which laws get passed when it disproportionately affects rich people

Agreed. At this point seeing news of a new stargate show would instantly make me ask "what will they fuck up with this one?". I'd rather not see it replicated (heh) in nowadays' world of marvelized franchises and even continuing it would be meh, seeing as the scope and the stakes grew way too high even in the original shows. Basically I feel the show was a product of its time and taking it out would screw it up. Also streaming services should stop remaking every single IP and just come up with new original shows already.

Just wait until you find out some of us still want FM on our phones.

The thing with SD cards is that there's a crapton of phones with 64/128 internals and still don't have one. I for one wouldn't really need one if I had 512, but to get to 512 you usually hace to pay a huge premium, because all major manufacturers have adopted the apple model of upcharging for storage. And frankly in the age of affordable 1tb SD cards I should't have to pay hundreds to get a measly 256 or 512 gb of storage.

The jack is also a manufactured problem ( also pioneered by apple, iirc ). Why would I give up my existing wired headphones to replace them with expensive sub-standard battery operated ones. Its especially ironic for manufacturers who do a lot of greenwashing. The usb-c adapter is an ok compromise though, and I for one am coming around to that l because you can only find jacks on niche or crap phones these days.

I'm not sure why you brought the "tech is old" argument because frankly it doesn't make sense for these two.

Gotta say, I'm not terribly hopeful about this.

"The cattle ranchers are in charge, Coop"

Western countries' relationship with russia may be more relaxed and allow for making ammends, but for any country in the east there was never a time in the past centuries when russia has not behaved lile a bully. Heck, ask any ww2 survivor in eastern europe and they'll tell you the russian "liberator" soldier was just a pillaging and raping piece of shit, and this was when they were technically not the occupier. And this before you start discussing the horrors of russian communist imperialism. I think its quite justified to think they should not be invited to any ww2 commemorations or allowed to act like they are part of "the good guys".

This is not an article, it's a freaking ad. Are we turning into reddit now?

Funny cum ii luau toti apararea ca "pacatele tatalui securist nu sunt ale fiului". Dar pare ca e totusi productiv sa ai cunostinte la SRI.

Cand era Berceanu la garda de madiu aveau un pic de muschi, dar acum ca l-au schimbat trebuie sa vina recorder sa le faca treaba.
