They're VCs, they're not here for the long run: they'll replace the employees with AI, make record profits for a quarter, and sell their shares and leave before problems make themselves too noticeable to ignore. They don't care about these companies, and especially not about the people working there

Snout stretchers really are an incredible invention

Let's assume plant cruelty is a thing, for the sake of argument. About 50% of cereals produced, and a 3rd of all crop land are used to feed livestock.

Yet livestock account for 17% of the world calories

The best way to reduce "plant harm" is to remove meat consumption. Bonus points for stopping animal cruelty, reducing transport of gigatons of freight, reducing deforestation & even returning land to wilderness

That doesn't work. Data can and has been deanonymized previously. It's still very much unsafe if it falls in the wrong hands

Nah, I always cd to full path, that way I can easily use my history to move back there

Well I know iphones are great quality devices & have long lasting support, but if I can't tinker with it then to me it's hardly better than a gilded brick

By "tinker with it" I mean installing apps like youtube revanced, playing morrowind, having access to a terminal etc

I think it has more to do with compute speed. I have a trash camera but high-end CPU on my device, QR codes are instantaneous

all that effort and all I care about is scanning QR codes :(

100% with you on this. All I need is a QR code scanner. I don't care about the pixel count, I want everything in my phone to be in performance / screen quality

heh it truly depends on a lot of factors. I don't want to "cheap out" on a high-end windows laptop, their thermals are shit, the battery life is non-existent, the keyboard is trash, and the computer frame are rarely decent.

A macbook is expensive, yes, but I've never experienced having to doubt the hardware, or get weird issues with it. It's a peace of mind I'm willing to pay a premium for. I even have a mac mini as a server for the extremely low power consumption & extremely good CPU performance (seriously, this thing competes with i9s for a fraction of the power (I'm exclusively interested in single thread applications))

As for iphones & apple watches, I like to tinker with my stuff way too much for them to make sense to me (which my macbook allows me to do as much as I want)

I'm exclusively talking about my experience with apple silicon, idk how it was before the M1 chips came out.

Well, considering they got booted off lemmy.world for insisting & defending misgendering someone, I doubt they'd last a minute on beehaw
