Virtually any company big enough to make a worthwhile phone is going to do terrible things. Think a given company is an exception? They won’t be once they get larger.
That being said, the fact that “everybody does it” doesn’t make it okay. The “blue vs green bubble” shit is nonsense that’s totally unnecessary.

It’s extremely difficult to have ethics while being involved in a capitalist system which is inherently unethical. Genuinely giving a damn and putting people ahead of profits is seen as a liability.
I’m sorry I don’t have any advice to give.
Burning jeans are very gratifying to see
That would depend entirely on people actually posting to the right community and actually following rules. 100% of the time. Won’t happen!
This will go away on its own, and will be replaced by something else just as silly (like beans did, and a dozen other things I can’t even remember, because nobody posts them anymore).
I’ll bet there is a website that calculates this stuff…
There is. Have fun!
Damn, that’s sad. I have nothing but pity for anyone who considers themselves a “true” or “professional” sea lion.
When I’m not sure, I just give them the benefit of the doubt. For example, there’s a good chance that the person replying to me speaks English well, but it’s not their first language. Also, their cultural norms might be very different from my own. It could be a simple misunderstanding, too. Overreacting would just make things worse.
When it’s obvious that the person replying is just being a pedantic nuisance, though, I merely stop responding. They may think they’ve “won”, but so what? I can go to bed knowing I don’t waste my time sealioning.
Meanwhile, some world leaders are absolutely perplexed as to why their citizens aren’t choosing to have children.
My first guess is that it would have been overpriced and deliberately incompatible with existing chargers. No loss.
Seriously? “Thanks for letting us escape to your country, now stay the fuck out of our bar.” Major dick move.
Everything it says is shit
Oh, I know. “Almost seems” is doing some heavy lifting in that statement.
$75,000 for ONE child seems almost reasonable. $22,400 is a fucking joke.
What kind of fediverse search are you talking about? Provide a link. That would do much, much more than any explanations or testimonials possibly could.
Because people are dumb. If the machine knows when someone is looking at it, it can stop doing whatever it does to try and get your attention, and put itself in “sales mode”.
Still, you’re right. It seems like an overly complicated and expensive solution. Old-fashioned vending machines did the job just fine.
I give everything leeway when it comes to memes… including things like “pov”

In 1778, Court of Session judges ruled that slavery was incompatible with Scots Law. This ruling meant Knight could not be made to carry out tasks for Wedderburn or be taken back to Jamaica against his will.
Awesome. Knight is a hero.
Until reading this article, I never knew that Musk even had a brother. Considering the press Musk has gotten, though, that probably suits the brother just fine.
It’s definitely not just you.
