It's very different doing those things willingly when all options are still there around you and a lot of other people are doing it anyway. And being in support of policies to reduce for example meat eating for everyone.

That's a lot of words to say nothing.It reads like it's written by big cement money since almost all arguments it brings up apply to concrete and steel as well, and that it comes to no conclusions just strengthen that feeling as it creates FUD without anything that could backfire. Of course it could also be based on actual research with real concerns about greenwashing that just communicates really poorly. But in any case there is nothing to be gained from this article.

I had hoped it would contain some data about origin, if local species are getting replaced, or anything else possibly interesting.

Because otherwise airlines buy different planes. All airplane models have extremely detailed maintenance schemas with alternative procedures described where possible. And minimum equipment lists that describes exactly what must work and what is "okay" to be broken to still fly. And it's on FAA to make sure Delta is following these manuals. So in the end the blame is on Boeing for either bad parts, lasting shorter than required or prescribing insufficient maintenance procedures. Or it's on FAA for not doing ther duty in making sure the procedures are followed. Of course if Delta hasn't followed the procedures, blame is on them too, but only ever in combination with either Boeing or FAA.

It never is, but it prevents them from continuing to build new planes were profit has priority over security and "accidentally" killing 100s of people

It's not though, like they say themselves it's only a reconsideration of the existing policies which is to maximize profit, morals be dammed. First they welcomed Nazis because Nazis gave them money and now they don't because Nazis cause other people to stop giving them money. If Nazis wasn't bad business nothing would have changed. This whole ordeal showed what kind of people they are.

Isn't standard USB C cables only 3A (60W)? And 5A (100W) only if they identify themselves with a built in chip?

Use smarttube instead of the official YouTube app, the ads are gone and it's better in every other way as well. Faster, more features, quality settings stay where you left them, sponsorblock support and much more.

It definitely was their gratest move ever. So many improvements was blocked by supporting the old extensions. Firefox would be completely useless and dead by now if they was still supporting them. Their loss in market share to chrome is largely due to not killing them 5 years earlier.

There isn't any alternative for either content creators or consumers so of course people can't just stop using it. But that doesn't mean everyone should just accept anything from them. These kinds of things definitely hurt both the YouTube and Google brands and there definitely are Google products that you can stop using and avoiding to give money to YouTube.

If there's one service where you can check stolen CC info for $1 and another one for $5 you doesn't go with the $5 one for no reason. The $4 extra dollars doesn't matter in itself but that other places are several times cheaper does.
