We should talk about the companies subverting water for bottling water, almond and avocado operations

I don't trust private companies doing anything "smart". I say this as an electronics and software engineer. Companies doing have our best interests in mind. Want to refute that claim? Show me the source code then

I agree. I disagree with the forced rat race perspective that elevation of engineering is management. By that town, all managers need to go do some technical work and get better at that.

Seriously, genuinely don't know what you're talking about. I have like 500 tabs open any given time. It is blazing fast, always

I don't think it is useless to say that. I don't think you should hold back from saying that. I think we should recognize it and raise awareness to it as much as possible. I don't advocate for veganism, either. I advocate tha

I don't care what the advertisers care about. Fuck them. They never asked my permission. Straight and simple

And yet I ge t stuck endless captcha. Without disclosing what a known good/bad signal is, you are essentially trust a black box and a random account on the internet

The key to understanding this is that amazon is making free money. It's like running a Bitcoin mining station without paying electricity costs. Amazon should be paying your electric bill too.

Nothing gives Amazon permission to run a service free of cost on your premises and then make money off that. You(not you the poster, but generic you) are providing free money to amazon and Bezos' pet projects by defending Amazon and bu

by ashneo76 5y ago
Precisely.

by ashneo76 5y ago
That doesn't matter. I don't get paid for providing a service to amazon for free. So they can get another billions in tax credits to fund Jeff Bezos' pet projects.

by ashneo76 5y ago
Amazon should be payi g for the free service it is taking from users. Just like google did with Google captcha. I can't understand why people seem to be missing this. Make it optin and give people credit for providing this service to a

Uhh.. json doesn't have comments. There is no code readability in here. If you are trying to represent code in data, night as well go use a language for that. This is still a cool project. It issues a lot of effort to build something l

This is dubious. I am not going to be using this. I just randomly typed in my password in my terminal. Would have ended up in the hands of some VC. No thank you. You can say that this is great mongering but the dubious claims around no tele

He is a billionaire. He can bail out good own company. No money from tax papers is needed.

Nobody should feel bad about opting out of telemetry. It is your privacy. They should feel bad for not asking for your permission and getting consent in the first place. And making it obscure. Ironic coming from a "discoverable" a

I am with you. Imo the shell is where I go to focus. Not constantly get distracted by colors and popups. Also, I don't need a VC backed disingenuous tool spying on me

Please support actual open source projects. The money here will just go to VCs pockets

Why okay devil's advocate? What is the reasoning behind that?

This purchase should be illegal yesterday

If that is the case, the please stop glorifying every single apple IPhone or product release like it is a gift from god and that Steve jobs and Tim cook can do no wrong.

This is how the rich people hide behind whatever reason they find to justify hurting and killing random innocent people including "the Poors" and the plebs. Now they want to be judge, jury and executioner. This should be banned

YES! No to neutralize the opposition from the petrochemical industries, plastic, companies like coke which literally say " as long as there is recycling, pepper disposal of plastic is on the customers". Companies like that are ric

Rent seeking is how FAAANG companies make money. Secure the supply chain, low cost and cheap labor, fight right to repair, fight what does it mean to own a streaming movie and then charge exorbitant prices for services. They exploit people

by ashneo76 5y ago
Yup. The business model is pushing new phones just so that can keep making money off that store and the addiction to the addictive apps.

by ashneo76 5y ago
The companies are part of the same planet. They get away with green washing. They have to be responsible for the damage they do but exploiting low cost labour in developing countries and pushing a new IPhone/android and non repairable

And this how general computing ends. Only apple holds the keys to the kingdom and decides what a user should be able to do with a device they supposedly own. And that leads to users getting more and more disconnected from their tools and ap
