All sode mino quests and some of them are repetitive.

Statistics for business and statistics with actual math. Those remedial classes, like math that starts with basic arithmetics.

What a trooper to slog though all.

I would be more impress if he’d played it in god mode. Must get all As and it requires being elected president of each student organization at least once.

I’m not saying don’t try to reduce your emissions by…

I’ll say it. Don’t do these things because you think they reduce your carbon emissions. Do it when it’s the most frugal option.

Reduce and reuse are still something we should 100% being doing but trying to measure then inject carbon foot print is futile.

Every dollar spend it a better measurement of your contribution to emissions. Trying to calculate it yourself with incomplete data is pointless.

Don’t be fooled by some study you read that made you feel like a righteous person. No one knows. The methods we have for measuring and assessing our footprint are hilariously incompete.

The truth is buried in endless noise. We don’t know what we need to know because it is in the best interests of others that we not know it. Blindspots.

Buy less products because buy “better” is a personal fantasy. Where better is because some popsci idea made you feel guilty for not being better. What the fuck do these things know, they’re bullshitting. Yes people do that; not just on the internet but definitely there.

Try buying quality laptops.

We have no idea how our brain functions.

This isn’t even remotely true.

You should have asked your LLM about it before making such a ridiculous statement.

About time. I hate all the time I waste scraping pedestrians out of my front grill.

Global population is still growing, I think I read it’s predicted to keep increasing into late mid century to around 11 billion before it plateaus and starts slowly falling.

The numbers get very optimistic from there will predictions of rebounds and other nonsense that is unlikely but the people claiming it will be long dead.

People who were raised as a single child are far more likely to only have one child so my bet is the population dwindles more quickly than these models indicate.

Fiduciary responsibility is the just following orders of capitalism.

Yeah. The fact that one of the products it Coke means it’s easier to name stores not on the list.

Yeah. That’s too small.

Not enough space for an proper antenna and the battery requirements wouldn’t work plus the thermals the thing would kick off would burn your ear.

The transmission power requirements between Bluetooth and cellular is measured in magnitudes, 3-4 times the power.

The cellular modem and antenna could be fit into the charging case of earbuds but the battery life would still be terrible since most of the case is taken up by the space needed for the ear buds.

The presentation is terrible. When was the last time there was a tech demo worth watching.

I don’t understand how these billionaires come off so cringy and awkward. They all act like it’s their first time on stage and the first time reading the script. And the script feels more like a press release than a demo.

They are also admitting they would happily live off the work of others and feel no need to contribute to society or make the world better in anyway if their needs were met.

I feel morally justified in not watching a 15 minute video about women’s underwear.

How does that work? What does it mean to use moral justification to avoid being informed on a topic.

You need to get back in the shower to practice thinking.

It’s insane how these companies’ policies have become more strict after Covid. Leave it to CEOs to always managed to learn the wrong lesson.

I just don’t even know what to say to you. Do you understand that you are being the shithead?

Going to chime in here to say you’re definitely the shithead here.

Are you’re one of the people that came to the fediverse because your Reddit account was banned?

This is exactly what someone would have said about Hitler if he had been murdered before he took before power.

Some of the code is literally open sourced and available in public repositories. The rest requires one be a security researcher.

The comfort is in choosing android because they are both the same. This is a decision based on emotion rather than logic.

I’m going to hastily dissect the situation and how I’ve come to this conclusion. Mostly for my own sake. I do not expect you to accept any of what I am going to say.

The comfort I am describing is starts by first observing the location of this discussion, an Apple enthusiast group.

Further observation indicates a persistent attack posture towards the ideals of the group.

This being an enthusatist geoup, it’s unlikely you’ll convince anyone here. You also aren’t suggesting an alternative.

When your assertions are challenged you shift and twist rather than addresssing the challenges indicating you are not not interested in understanding or engaging with the group in fruitful discussion.

At this point it is safe to assume your chosen platform is Android.

Android exfiltrates data, you and are I not arguing otherwise.

Your claim is you want to control your data but your chosen platform does not reflect this. This indicates your decision is not based on logic.

Because you are not engaging with this group to expand your understanding of why others choose Apple not to offer alternatives but instead to question other’s decisions. From this one can presume this is for personal validation.

A person does not need to internally validate their logical decisions. The logic is self validating.

People do need to validate their emotional decisions. All indication is that this is why you are in this thread; emotional validation.

You seek comfort in your choice to be in your own words, “spied on and manipulated.” in the face of alternatives.

At no point was this discussion about anything more than your desire for emotional validation. This group’s very existence invalidated your emotions and comelled a response.

I thank you for helping with deepening thoughts I’ve been developing I bid you a good day.

Their code isn’t closed.

Their devices are locked tight for security reasons. You can’t have it both ways on that one.

Your rebuttal is basically, nuh-on.

Threads like this remind me of the Asimov quote, that describes such rebuttals as, “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Anti-intellectualism is believing how the world works rather than bothering with a always expanding working theory as to how the world truely works.

A lazy approach that bathes one in false comfort by confirming all their biases.

A world view that cumulates into an air of superiority that is paper thin.

Yes. Meant didn’t change.

I’m not certain how I feel about it, but I’m pretty sure I hate it.

As an Apple hardware user, I am very disappointed.

From my investor perspective, I’m ambivalent. I understand the weight of the fiduciary responsibility and I will still continue to vote for Cooks removable mainly for other reasons. One of those reasons is how these presentations have shifted to being a long commercial rather than a truly live event. Tim doesn’t get it. He only understands supply chains. He is mediocre at best with everything else, terrible for many things.

I don’t work for Apple but their choice to force engineers to come into the office is one of those terrible decisions. They were literally more flexibility prior to covid. Engineers do not collaborate in person, especially when forced.

Hiss…we hates it, we does! Filthy nasty people. We hates it very much. Gollum, gollum.

You’re ignoring all of the measures Apple implementatedin the 10 years since those Snowden leaks.

You’re also making a baseless claims that Apple knowingly participated with the NSA, which Apple denies indicating it was an inside threat actor working directly with the NSA without Apple’s knowledge.

Some data is stored in other providers clouds, Amazon and Google specifically and those clouds are the sources that were compromised. Apple has added end to end encryption to mitigate that.

For their own cloud services, the measures Apple goes to secure their servers is not trivial. They have employed strict chain of custody and it’s why they call out services that do their off device processes using Apple hardware.

Apple is working to build out their own cloud but anyone with basic knowledge understands that the hardware they manufacture isn’t the type used by cloud providers.

The changes in how containers work on Mac OS is because of their own internal work on using their own hardware for containers that are being used to expand their internal cloud because even Apple with their billion dollar contracts with built in penalities doesn’t trust Google.

Knowing what I know, I put Google dead last when it comes to my data. Microsoft and Amazon are several magnitudes more trustworthy and I don’t trust them either because they openly work with government agencies.

But sure, keep using Android because Apple isn’t perfect. Google appreciates you’re choosing to feed their algorithms directly.
