They only introduced this recently because of the always increasing backlash against their practices.
And thing is, they only sells parts for a small subset of devices from the last decade. If you have one of the latest devices (from iPhone 12), great. If not, get fucked.
Yup, people have been suggesting this for a while, but that goes against the interests of Apple.
Also, it’s still confusing to me how they just allow for someone who sees you put your pin and steals your iPhone to be able to hijack your iCloud account.
They say it’s to stop people from stealing iPhones to sell for parts.
What they don’t say is that the only reason there is a market for that is that they aren’t willing to sell the parts directly at an affordable price…
The thing is averages don’t mean shit when you’re talking about individual people, because individual experiences always deviate from the average, especially if you talk about average wealth where a few millionaires and billionaires skew the data for a lot of poor people.
But sure, let’s follow your logic. Black people on average are poorer and have worse jobs, so we need to discriminate in their favour.
Well, statistically there is also a lot of evidence that black people on average commit more crimes than white people.
So should I be scared of a black person I cross on the street? Following your logic, yes. Following mine, no.
Ah yes, selective discrimination based on race and gender is anti-racist and anti-sexist. So glad we advanced as a society enough for this to make sense in some people’s heads…
We live in a time where there are black people that experienced extreme wealth in their lives and white people that know nothing other than extreme poverty (this one has always existed), and to take nothing of that into consideration other than just the skin color is idiotic.
But hey, thank you for admitting that it isn’t actually about improving productivity and output at companies, but just to tick percentage boxes so that your virtue signaling intake is filled for the day.
What a fucking brain dead take.
How is wanting to treat individuals like… ACTUAL FUCKING INDIVIDUALS and not generic groups based on their appearance nazi-like behaviour?
If anything, it’s the opposite of what a nazi would do.
The diversity that creates that is diversity of thought and life experiences.
To me, the idea that you can just fill boxes with people from x race or x gender on the base that that characteristic is what determines what I mentioned above, is one of the most racist and sexist things someone can do.
As for the people I don’t know Salvador Allende nor Jacobo Arbenz, but Fidel and Che were two bloodthirsty armsmen that just picked up whatever ideology fitted at the time. There is a reason why since then until now people try to escape from Cuba into the US. Also, I believe the US only really took an interest in them when they accepted the Soviet nukes.
As for Martin Luther King Jr, he was definitly persecuted, but was it because he was a communist? I’m not sure of that.
Do you really want to use the Korean war as an example of the US oppressing communists? Really? You literaly just have to compare how both sides ended up.
Sure, go one and tell us who were the illuminated people touched by the grace of God that were just too powerful to wander around the Earth in the view of the CIA.
If it wasn’t for those pesky americans, the World would be the perfect kumbaya by now.
Ah yes, it wasn’t the expropriation and execution/imprisonment of competent farmers and the general failures of central planning, it’s all about them trade embargos.
So it was because of capitalism that the communist revolution killed millions of people around the world.
Uh, the more you know…
They can do whatever they want, they only do it because Google allows it.
By that logic, Brave is also completely against Google because they block their ads and go against them.
Your last point is laughable.
Yes Brave cannot make commits to Chromium, but it makes changes to their own repos (well, obviously) and can also accept/reject changes Google makes to Chromium.
In my opinion, Firefox is more of a slave to Google than Brave will ever be because they rely entirely on Google giving them money for the default search engine.
Is Brave’s revenue model scammy? Maybe. But at least they aren’t Google little bitch.
The browser as is right now is open source and has way better defaults for privacy than Firefox (currently it seems it is the best browser in this aspect after librewolf. see: https://privacytests.org ).
So you didn’t see the latest supreme court confirmation?
Ah yes, the truth that “anyone can be whatever they want for whatever reason”.
Didn’t know you were that disadvantaged that you need a big red arrow saying hyperbole pointing to the number.
It was very ableist of me and I am sorry for it.
Going from two genders for centuries to 100 in 10 years? Yeah, definitly not pulled out of the ass.
Do we also count harassment if the person being wrong just doesn’t believe in the pronouns, or just purposefully trying to upset you?
If yes, I guess.
If no, no.
Bull fucking shit.
Apple goes out of their way to stop repairs. They ask the companies that supply their microcomponents to create a new version of them, just different enough for the original not to work, then make them sign a contract to only sell to them. By doing this, third party component level repair shops can’t just buy the components from the supplier and have to have a stock of donors boards in order to repair anything.
When you go to the Apple store because something in your board failed, they charge you the price of a new device to repair it and then advise you to just buy a new one. Even if you decide to do the repair because it’s more eco-friendly even thought it costs the same, you will lose all your data, because they just replace the entire thing instead of the milimeter capacitor or microchip that is broken.
Apple devices are still a pain in the ass to open and use non-standard screws with tons of different sizes, making sure that if you mix a longer and a shorter screw, you will probably break something.
