Apple building backdoors for CCP and sharing any and all data with them: am I a joke to you?

Ben & Jerry’s is actually cool though, no? Although they’re a capitalistic enterprise in the full sense, they had the spine to put a stand against Gaza genocide

The dock should’ve had at least one usb c port, like PS5

It looks amazing, can’t wait to buy it second hand in 2-3 years

Yes, but 1000 mirrors will pop up immediately if that happens. Internet is hard to control. They can’t even stop torrenting sites which is mostly used for piracy.

Lumon: is an evil company employing kids, slaves and holding people hostage against their will

Apple: hey guys here’s the cool terminal from our beloved sci-fi horror show

People: this is fucking cool I want this right now take my money lumo… oops Apple

Spotify is not owned by Tencent. It’s publicly traded, and tencent owns part of it.

There are a lot of reasons to hate Spotify (and Daniel Ek) but this is not one of it.

The short version: Tencent Holdings is about to own 10 percent of Universal, which in turns owns around 3.5 percent in Spotify, which in turn owns around nine percent in Tencent Music Entertainment, which in turn is part-owned by Universal’s two main rivals (Warner and Sony), but remains majority owned by Tencent Holdings, which in turn owns 9.1 percent of Spotify.

I’ve switched to RSS feeds for my consumption habbits

Assholes? Yes too

They can also start mixing their regular drinks (Pepsi) with sparkling water and up the ratio as they get used to the taste. Eventually they’ll be just drinking water.

Are they stupid? Yes

FTFY

Apple is busy fighting DMA in EU and Google is busy fighting the monopoly case in US. What are they supposed to do, fight human rights abuses instead of protecting profits of shareholders?!

Addition: his father is a founding member of a right wing party in Turkey

No, there’s no API for that

You clearly haven’t read the full essay.

So long as the capital markets were willing to continue funding loss-making future monopolists, your neighbors were going to make the choice to shop “the wrong way.” As small, local businesses lost those customers, the costs they had to charge to make up the difference would go up, making it harder and harder for you to afford to shop “the right way.”

Food for your thought.
