I absolutely agree with you that Apple abuses their market position, we need right to repair, and that our consumption as humans needs to drop dramatically. I do the best that I reasonably can to lower my footprint (I’m vegan, car-free, Ama

Why is it always about Apple being so bad? Sure, I’ll agree their market share and ecosystem let’s them take advantage of their customers, but Apple is one of the few companies where normies are still comfortably using 5+ year old phones an

It takes a long time for modern batteries to get to a point of unusability and replacement. Yes, Apple and others want consumers to purchase the new product and that is often the case because of the fast advancement of technology. This is w

Statistically, in the US a 3rd party has a 0% chance of winning because a third party has never won. Maybe within the first 100 years; history isn’t my strongest subject.

What avenues would they have to realize their potential? College is obscenely expensive, a degree from a community college is afaik useless, rent prices are bonkers, and the job market for those without a degree is wage slavery.

Yep, I dropped out of school my sophomore year because I was working a job and I was prioritizing a social life I didn’t have in high school. 7 years later and I’m too busy surviving crappy jobs to go back to school, or I think that I would

A few years ago I found a source selling EV conversion kits for vintage vehicles. It’s definitely a possibility to DIY an electric car. I could imagine it being like DIY synthesizer kits. Do it yourself if you have the skills and time to pu

People spend money on privacy. This gives it value. I don’t know anyone that would want to spend money on a hotel if there was a security camera in the room. I would get the more expensive room without the camera, probably go to a different

I had a very similar idea for blockchain-based, social sharing network, except instead of farts, it's poops. I would call them shitcoins, obviously. This could be a network for farters and poopers.

Why use 2FA at all then? It doesn’t seem like you’re gaining any security using it.

Privacy was also a selling point of BlackBerry/RIM and was successful but it’s hard enough to convince people it’s worth switching over to Firefox from Chrome so I think you’re right. It is interesting that Apple can market themselves

Article says the chip will be able to support multiple thunderbolt ports, and they are adding HDMI. I would imagine it will support 2 4K monitors.

What don’t you trust about Apple that equates them to Google or Facebook? I trust them more than Google and FB, but that is certainly a very low bar. I trust that Apple isn’t profiting off my data. It isn’t even close to their business mode
