psst 98% of Metas money comes from selling marketing dorks lies and scamming the larger economy.

That’s why they’re still afloat regardless of not having a product worth a damn.

I like their christ, less the christians.

I was just imagining that situation and thought to myself that if only people were both cool and smooth enough to make casual unjudgemental conversation with the preacherman in the checkout line in that moment…

What a world we could live in, if only everyone could stop being shitty to one another.

And that’s where the T2 chip keeps its firmware so when the soldered-on storage goes bad, the whole computer can’t boot and must go directly in the ewaste…

I hate it so damn much.

The default is zsh, I’m not a fan. Bash 3.2 is present by default, however, and is as old as the hills.

Previous employer gave me an m1 pro and it just lived in a drawer until I quit.

I’m sure some salesrep got a nice nearly new linkedin machine after that.

The hardware is nice to touch but it is unethically designed by assholes who hold you, the device “owner” in complete contempt.

I recently got allocated an m5 macbook.

They last like 15 minutes before they’re chipped and scratched, the version of Bash they ship is a million years old, the UI is a fucking mess. Package management is a mess. The walled garden is a mess. I have had to brew this and fix my path for that just to have a working environment. This is ignoring the soldered on RAM bullshit. Can you even do memmap= to recover from bad soldered ram on a macbook or does it just become ewaste?

They sound nice and they feel nice until they’re scratched.

Also the keyboards are heinous.

If Jobs was alive, he’d be punching people for re-inventing Vista Aero.

I thought the UI was supposed to be good.

Fuck these devices.

forty tonners rarely turn up in your cul-de-sac with shagged roads, but nobody has a front garden because everyone has two crossovers.

Not only in R&D but market development… Like, finding out what people want and selling it to them, exporting them… The Americans are trying to push pickups on europe…

It is your ethical and moral duty to set it on fire.

Ozempic.

They have been trying to murder the US and EU auto industry and dumping biblical shittons of money into battery technology. the EU and the US aren’t trying to compete.

Its still an advancement for all mankind, even if my countries leadership wont let me have one.

No, I mean it. If you’d indulge me, I’d love to know more about your background, how you’ve ended up this way.

Wow. You’re cooked.

I’d love to know more about your life, your living situation… how you got this way.

Please inform yourself of the adjacency of lobbyist centers and capital hill.

Politicians don’t write shit, they get given frameworks and proposals from lobbyists and “industry leaders”, sometimes they get made into law directly without edit, especially when it comes to smaller ordinances.

There are designated handlers from the larger lobby groups for designated politicans and congress-critters.

They should wear jumpsuits like nascar, maybe you and the public would understand it better.

Edit: Looking at the rest of your replies you’re getting downvoted to oblivion for denying reality.

More parts for the hotrod gods

They’re not useful tools.

its all a pissing contest between people we really aught to hang from the rafters… The consequences of their pissbaby behaviour is ours to bare.

We should be making soup out of them.

If I recall, it was something Ed Zitron said but I can’t find the quote, so it might not be. The implication that the cost of delivering that $20 user account was approximately $1800 worth of compute.

They wanted companies to normalise a dollar spend on tokens equivalent to half a dev salary per dev.

They want to pay you in it too
