It was a tough sacrifice, but the really important thing going forward is making sure Elon gets his 56 billion dollar bonus reinstated that was so cruelly taken away.

Utah is gorgeous.

There are definitely parts of Socal that are ugly. Also parts that are sublime.

Try visiting a not ugly state like California.

But how does that help capitalists make more money by eliminating their competition?

People always complain on Lemmy about Telegram and point at alternatives that are theoretically better in terms of security and privacy.

Yet the security and privacy on Lemmy are good enough that you routinely see governments complaining about how they can't get at the info on Telegram like this story here, all while Telegram has a UI and experience that blows every competing messenger completely away.

Nah I wasn't being sarcastic.

As I understand it, in engineering these types of mobile space constrained devices you essentially have a "budget" of space. Every hardware feature you include generally eats into this budget and if you want things to be user accessible or repairable it eats into this budget majorly.

That budget has to come from somewhere, so you can pay it with things like reducing the size of your battery or reducing the size of your drivers which in turn represents a reduction in sound quality.

This article seems to omit the most important fact about headphones - how do they sound?

I love repairability and all, but it hardly matters if I don't want to use them in the first place because they traded off too much quality for repairability.

It's crazy to me that people such as you unironically believe the position you're saying that American companies are easier to crack down on.

We are literally seeing concrete proof in action that domestic companies are much harder to crack down on or regulate. They are much better positioned to lobby and are currently using their immense political power to protect themselves while removing their foreign rivals. There isn't even talk of taking action against them because they are so politically powerful.

Wow optional is a big word here that should be at the very top of the article and this discussion.

I haven't done any serious programming in a long time. Is this mostly about corporate process and hierarchies for programming or does this apply to open source projects as well?

Seems really demoralizing putting in the work to add something to an open source project and having it waste away unreviewed and unappreciated.

If you're in the USA it seems clearly better to have Russian since they can do much less to affect your life and vice versa.

That's what I thought about the elephant tusk looking AirPods yet here we are.

The Reality Distortion Field sometimes makes things hard to predict when it comes to Apple products.
