Basically, enshittification.

> I'd rather use an AWS service with an open source core than a closed-source service.

I guess it’s just a problem with the people who work in software engineering. You won’t use anything closed source, but also don’t care if other engineer’s valuable open-source tools are hijacked by companies with billions in resources.

Basically, you want to have your cake and eat it too.

ALL OF THIS IS A NON ISSUE. All. Of. It.

These people won’t take one ounce of responsibility and not buy the damn thing.

You’re starting to hit on Apple’s strategy. Build something expensive and impressive, get all the media hype out of it with influencers making content and consumers watching it cause it’s the expensive thing.

Then it comes down in price over 10 years and soon everybody has one, because everyone wants to try to Apple thing they saw so much about years ago.

iPad went exactly the same way, as everyone wrote it off when first introduced as just “a large iPod touch”, and now it’s the defacto leader in the category without anything coming close.

Private jets are so the rich can avoid the peasants. There’s no benefit for 99.99% of the rest of the world.

We’re a drop in the ocean compared to these people.

I graduated in 2016 and never once had an employer concerned about my grades. It would be a red flag if I had.

Half my time in college was spent working in the dining center cleaning dishes to help pay for my education. I didn’t have the luxury of studying as much as others did.

Standups shouldn’t be a rubber duck session with the entire team.

> Be gentle with the Apple Vision Pro - ITS PLASTIC!!!

Clickbait-territory.

It’s an entirely expected outcome for wanting to enact one-of-a-kind laws that force a foreign company into doing something they’ve obviously wanted to avoid.

After having worked IT for various startups I cannot understate just how much executives and other higher ups detest policies that make them verify who they are. It short circuits something with their ego.

Adding EVs to the market seems to be a net negative for electricity use. Can you say the same for your imaginary coin machines?

The economic incentives are there. They’ve BEEN there for decades. To think China doesn’t have an equivalent just because they haven’t cared enough yet is laughable.

Nobody knows, but the person lost the chance for society to give them the benefit of the doubt.

They know it’s wrong. They did it HUNDREDS OF TIMES.

For example, try to post something pro Apple, or even try to play devils advocate. Your comment will be flagged within minutes.

I was shocked to find out that the Lemmy instance I signed up on was blocking dozens upon dozens of other instances, which defeats the entire purpose of a federated network.

Miss me with the demanded respect for an industry that will be replaced in a couple decades.
