It's disengenuous to make that argument without a comparison to the full manifold energy consumption required to support fiat cash... (including things like burning gasoline and jet fuel to move paper and metal for shredding/melting.)
> Don't the vast majority of companies have clauses in contracts that say whatever you create on your particular work laptop belongs to the company? I certainly have that in my contract.
What do you think the chances are of your company actually being able to enforce said clauses?
If the SEC had done their job RH would have been shut down ages ago due to their platform's facilitation of rampant identity theft.
> it will likely end with ordinary people being really cynical about the motives of big tech, the financial services industry, the media, and the ruling class generally.
That's how things were from the 70s up until the internet boom.
It's going to take another paradim shift before the cynicism errodes.
The accounts were more likely blocked from a sell.
I think the proper analogy is a bookstore whose titles rearrange themselves on the shelves based on your liminal reactions to the covers.
There's nothing efficient or concrete about psychology.
I've been advised by my lawyers to avoid your software.
Great ideas, and a road paved with good intentions.
A lot of people have been down this road before, and it doesn't end well for the users.
At least your lawyers are happy.
Please answer the above questions.
> No one had firearms at the capital, at least so far as I’m aware of.
> I haven’t picked anything up like all 50 states protesting. A few surely, but idk not some crazy coordination or anything (honestly seems more from the left).
You're wrong about this, and you probably shouldn't be bragging about your platform or credentials if you're this ignorant of what is going on.
One can not appease bad faith actors without being taken advantage of.
Zeitgeist is not coordinated.
One could argue that the pinnacle of Orewllian authoritarinism is indeed the use of Orwell by an authoritarian regime. Doublespeak and all...
The only thing worse than having no soul is whining on the internet about it.
Command + click.
I know of at least one customer that you're going to loose as a result of this tone deaf PR, and based on your responses in this thread am hoping that you loose a lot more.
> That's a bit like saying addictive drugs themselves aren't a problem.
You clearly feel that statement is false but don't provide any support for your strange point of view.
I'm not making any assumptions about developers. I'm making a comment about Mozilla as an organization, and Firefox as a product.
Rudeness is in the eye if the beholder, but seems like you're taking this personally, and with a thin skin.
So is being forbidden from defocating in the streets. Interesting that nobody seems to have a problem with that one.
> The biggest problem with Broadcom on the Pi is the videocore block, and if you never run the video (using it for IoT), you avoid the biggest black hole on the device.
Avoiding the black hole does not solve the part of the problem where you are financally supporting closed hardware and disincentivising the Rasberry PI foundation fron doing the right thing.
Would be great if stabilizing firefox on mobile happened before this nonsense.
The Rasberry PI is not open hardware, and is actually part of the problem, not the solution.
There is nothing inflammitory about it. It's perfectly reasonable that they did not want their findings distorted and politicized.
You've set an impossible burden of proof. Not going to engage in a discussion of this with someone acting in bad faith.
Good day.
Indeed. Not sure why everyone read an implied value judgement in my statement when there was none.
Pfizer stated it's intention to delay release of findings until after the election. This is not a surprise.
There is plenty of evidence and ongoing study of long-term sequelae.
Denying such is wildly irresponsible and hostile to the community.
Stop trolling.
The entire spectrum of human behavior is natural, as is any conceivable action no matter how immoral.
The observation of a behavior or inclanation in the wild is not a good basis for the structuring of a civilization.
HN gonna HN.
