Welcome to the United States, where consumers built the internet infrastructure that monopolies profit from and fight tooth and nail to prevent communities from providing high speed internet to its residents. Capitalism at its most corrupt: privatize profits and socialize capital costs and losses.

"And very credible." Lol. These are opinion pieces you are linking to. Let us know when you have a scientific article (ie Science, PNAS, Nature) to support your climate denial.

The fact that they would put this in a hybrid means there’s something limiting it (ie poor discharge power, overheats easily, etc).

Legal counsel has to be blowing their brains out as well. How in the world can you defend your trademark when it's a letter? Good luck playing wack a mole with all the copycats.

iCloud private relay is highly underrated for privacy imo. You won’t hear a lot of agreement with me here, but it’s the best form of a privacy vpn. When you use a third party vpn you still have to trust the vpn company to respect your privacy whereas private relay, by definition, does not allow Apple or anyone else to scrape your data.

This is what happens when sociopaths without empathy are allowed to write educational policy.

Pretty simple really: capitalism requires infinite growth. We have finite resources. The world is literally melting around us due to unsustainability.

The pet peeve of many people is the greed (of billionaires, politicians, global companies, etc) for wealth (paper, essentially) yet not giving a flying fuck about the anyone else or the rest of the planet.

Will be fascinating to see the effect of the exodus long term. Currently, the best data we have is that reddit traffic is down between 5-10%. Engagement length is down as well, to its lowest level in 3 years. Of course, traffic is a trailing indicator. I have to assume content will suffer dramatically as the heavy Reddit users (the contributors and mods) are pissed of and leaving. Probably won't know for another few months but everybody should come over to Lemmy!

If we haven’t already, all foreign assets of Putin and all Russian leadership and oligarchs need to be seized immediately. Unless the pain is felt by those with power nothing will change.

There are also a number of Western companies still operating in Russia. That needs to change.

Wait, the white supremacists and Nazis that he caters to aren’t making up the ad revenue? Well I’ll be!

If you read the article, he wanted to raise his family in his native Ireland and also to spend more time with his parents. Sounds like a well grounded fellow.
