Are you thinking of AWS maybe?

Except Apple are kind of notorious about avoiding cross platform compatibility which is why I ask. Find them hard to trust at this point. I can already hear them making the “we can’t because it will impact users security” argument in my hea

How do I leave the Apple ecosystem if I go all in on this? Sounds like major vendor lock in under a deceptive title of “open standards” but I’m hoping I’m wrong here. Does anybody happen to know yet?

Entirely inline with their main value proposition that “nobody can control it”.

Because back in the real world if you are looking for some examples of what having a union looks like compared to a company that doesn’t while Musk is claiming the economy is so bad he has to cut 10% of his staff, Ford just announced almost

Do you have an example you actually want to talk about or no?

This is a weird hypothetical that you have invented here. For what purpose I’m not sure. If you have some concrete examples you would like to point to I suspect we are both going to quickly discover that they are going to be a lot more comp

This to me is actually a pro-union argument not an anti-union one. That is exactly the kind of behaviour that any particular individual has no chance to stopping but the ability to negotiate collectively would make that a very unattractive
433.

The entire underlying premise of a union is that: 1. In any negotiation the idea of a single individual vs. a giant company like Tesla in this particular example is about as clear as an example of a textbook power disparity as you can imagi

Angular comes with the advantage of you can learn “the angular way” and it will always be applicable. With React every time you pick up a new project you don’t know what you’re going to get. I also have some serious doubts about the long te

It’s ok sometimes to admit that you just don’t know rather than to make things up out of thin air.

And improved negation power by continuing to unionize.

by mhoad 4y ago
It’s hard to see this more as a cynical negotiation tactic where it’s inevitability going to be framed as “here’s what you have to lose if you continue to unionize”

It’s literally just headless evergreen chromium handling the rendering these days and has been for a while. It handles JS fine on the condition that you as a developer continue to think about accessibility.

One of the particularly amusing things I’ve noticed in right wing agitprop things like this is how badly they are at imitating actual leftist discourse. Nobody talks like that IRL except in the minds of RWNJs. I can’t think of a single left

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, that is very literally their entire focus to chop and selectively edit things to remove all context and repackage them in the most partisan format possible and has been since the start. It’s such a

Yeah of course! I break them out into a few different categories depending on what you're actually looking for. For a straight up history perspective that also goes pretty deep into the shadowy nature of it all I enjoyed The Dirty War

Agreed, I didn't get into it in the original comment because it's a pretty deep topic obviously but the idea of "having power" is an extremely shaky description at best. From an outside perspective it really seems like t

Especially when you have him repeatedly on the record talking about the bot problem prior to the sale. There’s zero compelling evidence at this stage that he was in anyway unaware of it or it’s scale.

That’s really just more evidence to support the theory and is in no way exculpatory. The only thing it adds to the picture is that the majority of their revenue is also extremely predatory and the underlying model essentially works the same
