  • You mean the guy who called the cave diver a pedo before all this?

    And who brought “freedom” to twitter?

    And now he’s running enforcement on trumps plan to turn the us into a dictatorship.

    I don’t wish death on him (I don’t think he deserves that) but my not liking him happened before the Nazi solute.

    Even if you took the Nazi solute out, it’s fairly clear he’s not a good person and that Tesla is possibly just a way for him to get rich and get attention these days. He might have cared originally, but I feel any illusion of caring is gone, and he is basically Trump 2.

    He’d happily remove all workers rights if he was in power, and to get back at his ex wives, possibly eliminate women’s rights


  • They DO though. They sell the default search engine to Google for billions knowing they’re profiting from the ads indirectly… So, they’re really just subcontracting it…

    I was implying the fact that Apple doesn’t need to though, because they monopolise things via the app store, and with other foul play (like requiring additional intervention if you want to run an app from outside the store on Mac). They have full control over monitoring what apps and what kind of apps are popular, so they can target them with their own competitors.

    They also have some fairly hefty requirements from developers, and even try to get a cut of subscription fees despite doing nothing.

    In the case of Pebble as an example, they delayed the pebble app, launched their own watch at the same time, and because they fucked Pebble over, they never stood a chance.

    Just to further things, Republicans have a clear bias. When the head of google was in congress, they weren’t really asking questions, but they were incorrectly stating things like Google was tracking their phone anywhere it moves

    And yet, Apple seems to dodge every single case. They don’t even allow IOS to run on other platforms. Whereas, there are Android phones which are completely degooglified.





  • You probably know about it more than me…

    I’ve been onsite plenty of times when they’ve been cutting that stuff up. Some owners argued better PPE would be enough for the Stonemasons, but it won’t protect other people where its being cut.

    Furthermore, nobody NEEDS engineered stone anyway, and people tend to take shortcuts when they are in a rush

    And its mainly the workers affected. The people selling it are sometimes the ones who aren’t even cutting it up (especially because they know there are risks).

    Feel bad for my friend though who now has silicosis and no way to cure it.
