The public learning that efficiency is billionaire's dog whistle for mass layoffs.

You can pay with bells that you earn doing regular activities…or… you can exchange a bell package that's only 5000 diamonds for 300k bells. You can buy diamonds for only 5.99$ per 1000 diamonds or our flash sale for 39.99 for 10k diamonds.

Except, she is not a child. She is a grown person who votes and supports opinions that will get vulnerable people killed. This are both very childish ways of handling conflict.

The problem of a minimalism based image is that there isn't any personality left to project. Apple got into streaming without a clue of what to do with it. It's not their field. Media requires expression and spectacle. Apple's minimalism, although it does express some things, it is not suited for high energy entertainment. So most of Apple's original shows are very low energy and dozy.

They also have drilled the walled garden, the golden cage, the expensive exclusivity for almost three decades of alienating marketing as well. It means that people assume they aren't allowed to even see what's available on Apple streaming unless they are already part of the ecosystem. That and the whole Apple TV, Apple TV+ brand confusion. Then people assume, correctly, that they will have to buy an Apple device and then also pay for a subscription.

Coupled with the low energy of their brand image, it makes people uninterested in what they have to offer. They see it as not worth the expensive cost of entry. This puts Apple at an impasse. Where they have to sell minimalist, exclusivity and alienation in a business that only thrives financially with colorful, inclusive and creative expression.

So, what you're saying is that Apple's alienating marketing is working.

Are millenials killing the startup culture?

I agree it is not because they can't but because they didn't want to. But the truth is they haven't. Current offers match exactly what I have described in my comment. Intel and AMD have been sleeping on their laurels and ARM is coming for their lunch unless they move quick.

Try Ravenfield. It doesn't get anymore casual than that. The most fun you can have with a battlefield like game without any of the BS.

Power efficiency. Arm promises the same performance at lower temps and wattage than x86 at competitive price points. That's a really attractive proposition for the laptop market. x86 can be as small format, as power efficient, as cheap, or as powerful than ARM but not all at the same time.

This why kernel level anticheat is the stupidiest idea. It's already hard enough to have the developers coordinate on a mission critical component of the OS. Now imagine dozens of profit hungry, lowest effort publishing companies all meddling and putting their greasy hands into that code at the same time. No, thank you.

But friend if the doctors step aside, there isn't anyone to step in their place. Say what you want, but no one will willingly go to jail for one case, when staying out of jail means they can help hundreds. Doctors need support and help, not berating and insults. They're humans like the rest of us and just doing their best with the shitshow the state handed to them. In some places even the misoprostol is forbidden, as it is part of the medical abortion protocol. Take it on with the constituents who voted for this mess, and the politicians who enacted the regulations, but not on the victims being forced to make morbid choises between their own lives and the lives of others.
