It’s open source so that anyone can manufacture a phone for it (good for business), not so you could install whatever you want on the hardware (bad for business)…

Lemmy has ton of propaganda

Ironically, I was giving them as an example of something OK. My point just went over your head.

Honest question, why is this a problem rather than a solution?

If these kids don’t exist, and having those fake pictured make some people content, what’s the harm?

Kinda reminds me of furries getting horny over wolf drawings, who cares?

“not making profits”

Just massive salaries and equity

I disagree and I’ll explain why for $20

I’ve been running 11 on my 10 y/o PC without TPM 2 for a while and it’s been working with zero issues. It’s all just a money grabbing scheme to get people to upgrade their hardware.

Well depending on your standards it could still be argued

Well the rest of us think you are

Very well put.

I always like to say that I love my job, but I hate my boss and my stupid colleagues because they always seem to be getting in the way OF DOING MY FUCKING JOB. In 2023 it seems like work is more like a highschool popularity contest rather than about giving value to the company.

So in practice, I hate working. But it was never about the job. The narcissists are the ones ruining it.

I think boycotting is the wrong way to solve this issue. It’s better to sit down and have an honest conversation about it. But the conversation has been anything but honest. People don’t even know what “from the river to the sea” actually means before shouting it, they think it’s some hippy “love and freedom” chant, while it’s a call for genocide.

Did it work for you? Because I get nothing

Well they can start by not using their smartphone because that thing has a ton of Israeli tech.

I can still recall binge watching a show on Netflix only to find out mid-way they only had about half of the total seasons. So I paid for a service only to have to finish the show by torrenting it. Idiotic.
