Ads are not the only reason, but if you're still on reddit, you clearly missed the point why reddit became popular.

Trtworld, can someone give more information?

Iran, such a innocent country, the regime, victims of the evil west...

When I read the title I just imagined how society there is stuck in the medieval ages.. just a sad state of affairs..

As others have mentioned, others get far worse, being hung from cranes on a daily bases, most of them Kurds for seeking their freedoms.

This is like saying people enjoy breathing, this is why health insurance companies exist..

Agreed, people enjoy working, if by working you mean being productive, building, creating, especially inventing something.

You can have two worlds where in one there is manipulative people holding all the wealth, doing nothing or in another where it's fair.

Sometime ago someone decided it's easier to manipulate others to do something and a snowball effect occured.

Nice and all, but pretty pointless if you stay there after.

[-] Savas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds nice, can you tell me what they are exactly?

[-] Savas@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Not against that. But different to what's happening here though.

Oops, corrected, thanks. Was thinking half a million, ended up typing 500 and then a million.

Philips has a net worth in the billions, $20.67 billion as of July 12, 2023. (Source link) Yet they decided to create a kickstarter, charging "early bird" buyers these earphones that's designed for wearing while sleeping, basically the same as any other earphones, just slimmed down and cables running around your head.

What's infuriating is that there's dumbasses who actually gave them money to make a product ($500k ~~million~~ in total), so Philips is most likely not taking any risk making this, but will enjoy the profits.

The kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kokoon/sleep-headphones/posts

I thought the whole point of a kickstarter was people with a product, but lacking the funds to get the project actually going getting a kick start to get going.... Not for billion dollar companies to beg for cash.

Maybe ironically with the prices dropping on these people will actually buy them..

[-] Savas@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

Sad really, but the issue, as someone as mentioned already is they were too expensive.

[-] Savas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And today, look at what they're allowing Turkey to do with regards to the Kurds..

I don't know how someone can remember secure passwords without a password manager.. My password manager 10 years ago was basically a text file. Moving to Bitwarden from LastPass the only thing I miss is easily creating a folder when saving a new credential.
