I can understand why this would deter companies from advertising their environmental initiatives, but it kinda sad (though entirely expected) that it turns out they were only doing for the good PR. Guess this means we need to start introducing some environmental legislation with teeth.

Someone has to provide proof for the answers to obvious questions, if for no other reason than to short circuit the "SoUrCe?" clowns.

Again, being aware of your own limitations and doing what you can is preferable to faking it, and falling apart when it counts.

Not everyone can be a super tough guy like you surely are.

Lol, you think this is going to end with just calmly standing in a crowd?

Much better to be self aware of it and account for it, than to get yourself and others killed due to your false bravado.

If you read the rest of the article, she addresses that. She doesn't believe that she is personally brave enough to physically confront what is coming, so for her, the choice is get out now while she can and be vocal.

The scary part is that there absolutely is logic to it. They're still just slightly short of being willing to say that part out loud.

The other side of the coin is that customers aren't obligated to buy. There's always a limit to how expensive you can make a product/service before people will simply stop paying for it. Trying to find that balance point can be damned difficult.

Else, Jaws can't get you if you're nowhere close to the sea

Until they release a Jaws/Sharknado crossover.

I mean, you can. Probably shouldn't though.

The VPNs will be harder to ban. Not just from a technical standpoint, but politically as well. Big businesses will be absolutely opposed to VPN bans.

We talking movie Thanos, or comic book Thanos?

The problem is, unless things change drastically, that is the trajectory the US is on.

Until one of the other branches of government decides to grow a spine, Trump is free to do whatever he wants.

I work in a factory making turbine engines, if I worked in a factory making 50k$ watches we would produce just as much CO2.

You absolutely would not. Not even remotely close.

Also, you're ignoring the emissions over the lifetime of the thing. As soon as the watch is manufactured, it's emissions contribution is done. That turbine will continue generating emissions over it's entire existence.

Many people do this.

Many people are insane.

Just tested. It's Ctrl+right, not Ctrl+left.

Edit: also, no-one says that the cell size has to remain default. 34 million pages is rookie numbers.

The loyal cult is the result of Stockholm syndrome.

"Extensive manual reading" Really? Two seconds of skimming is extensive reading to this guy?

Maybe I'm the exception here, but this thing reads to me like a long list of non-issues. I specifically don't want my phone fast charging. It's bad for the battery. I'll slow charge overnight. People having to keep track of multiple cables is a result of them trying to save $2 and buying the cheapest possible cables. Buy good cables with the highest data transfer speed you will require and forget about it. They are all backwards compatible.

The point of USB-C wasn't to make everything compatible with everything always, the point was to get rid of proprietary connectors, and unify the 4 different USB connector types commonly in use.

Because this is Lemmy, I feel like I have to ask, Linux support? Or is it Windows-only for now?
