That would make building a $2500 iPhone in the US even more difficult.

Because of the child laborers making 85 cents an hour?

Name a job where interrupting a CEO’s presentation in public wouldn’t be a terminable offense. What employee handbook says “If you’ve exhausted all other internal channels and are unhappy with the company’s direction, just call out the boss in front of thousands of people and there won’t be consequences.”

If your company is that evil and unsettling to change, you call them out and resign. Calling them out but still wanting to be paid is saying you’re okay with taking blood money as long as you’re saying it’s bad.

While I wholeheartedly agree with her message, the reality is that any employee that interrupts a company event to criticize the company until they are escorted out of the room is gonna be fired regardless of the accuracy of their statements. We should be appalled at Microsoft’s complicity in Gaza, not that they fired an employee.

I applaud her for her stand, but she and everyone knew this would result in her termination.

I’m just saying the one key I’d be 100% okay losing is numlock. Turning it off when I’m typing fast can guck up an excel sheet SO fast.

If they had a paid option to cover the costs of using TomTom’s traffic API, I’d make the switch.

I was born in 83, and grew up in the time where being a computer need required real work and knowledge of computers.

The things got easier and easier, and then the smartphones came.

These new kids literally don’t know how to search a file directory because they are used to the apps magicing stuff where it needs to be.

Yeah, and try as we might, we haven’t been able to replicate its biggest selling point. It was unfortunately also its greatest vulnerability regarding the corporatetake over.

It was a central location from which thousands of large, niche communities could be found.

Lemmy is great, but the decentralized nature of it also fragments small communities and makes it hard for them to launch. I was super active of the Scuba subreddit, but on Lemmy, there are like 8 scuba communities spread across the instances, but they’re all so small there’s no activity on them, and that fragmentation makes it difficult for one to reach the necessary critical mass to become active.

Are we foementing revolution or creating a new compression algorithm?

Guillotines are another option.
