We're as shitty as we're legally allowed to be
- Apple

Technology isn't to enable users to do what they want, but to let corporations do what they can get away with.

I finally made the plunge to Linux desktop for all work in 2016 and have not looked back (and occasional windows VM, extremely rare now.) Even Arch is now perfectly fine as a workstation which surprised me. Recommend EndeavourOS to streamline the install process but it's Arch underneath.

To be fair that's not limited to Apple. Any company will follow the law to the letter, and lobby to change the law in their favour.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

To be even fairer, corporations have no inherent "right" to exist, and in fact should not be allowed to exist unless they're acting ethically and serving society.

Ok, but Android wouldn't have to allow sideloading by that logic, yet...

One thing I've learned living in a conservative state in the US is that everything is my fault by proxy

I should just be rich enough to move, how hard can it be

[-] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 54 points 10 months ago

I really wish this was a joke but it fucking isnt.

"We should just build a wall around your state and force it to secede. All the LGBT+ and POC should relocate immediately because it's not safe to live there."

"What about all the people who can't afford to move? What about all the people living on tribal land?"

"Oh, them? Hmmm. They should move, too. Again."

The fact is, right-wing extremism shouldn't be tolerated anywhere. Putting all the fascists "on an island" doesn't fix anything because there will always be children and other people who never asked to be there, yet have to suffer.

“Minimizes diminished App Store revenue”

I am an Apple user and in the end I’m more comfortable with them having access to my data than google.. but man, they don’t even bother to pretend it’s a pro-consumer issue thing anymore.

Been noticing that a lot lately, corporate weasel language is dying as these companies grow more and more emboldened.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

It's pretty funny considering their main arguments have never mentioned the financial impact and always leaned on SeCuRitY, or some dumb shit the fanboys will regurgitate.

Like, Apple you lying little slut — we know you cuck for coins in everything you do.

I'm getting real tired of corpo doublespeak. It's everywhere right now and I feel like people are finally getting wise to it. I don't want to hear whatever made up by committee garbage you came up with. Give us an answer.

You should never sideload. Cranes are not designed to be loaded that way and the crane or the load could move unexpectedly.

Always lift vertically.

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 30 points 10 months ago

LoL wth? You're misunderstood the post.

When you reloading a gun, always turn the firearm sideways to have a better view of the chamber, and thus increase precision and reduce time.

[-] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

Wtf are you talking about dude? I think you completely misread those.

If your PS5 is standing upright, you can't load the disc sideways like you normally would because the drive won't be oriented the same way. Duh.
