Now that's just wasteful.

You must not waste the batteries in scooters, the gold in flock cameras or the ram in data centers. I believe Jesus said this. Now pray with me

You are right, no matter the colour of your skin or the minority group you belong to, most people prefer kicking down.

Let's not tax billionaires, I'll be one next week. Humans are terrible at self awareness and we have been stripped of solidarity by algorithms on top of that.

On small scales (towns, communities) solidarity works. That's why we should work on reconnecting. Meet your neighbours, join a club. Maybe this is what also helped Mamdani? I sure hope the US will figure this out, Bernie is too old now but AOC would make a wonderful leader.

I still see a small chance to reverse this, if only the rest of the world wouldn't continue sucking up to this criminal government.

There was plenty critique for Orbán here, I really cannot stand the whataboutism this comment shows.

We have our problems in Europe as well that we need to takle quickly and decisively. If Trump gets away with shit there is someone else in the world taking note, it's a preview of what may come for us soon.

My original comment is in part frustration but also a genuine question. People being driven into existential crises just sucking it up and taking on a 4th job? I would have beheaded Ronald McDonald long before.

Sadly you are probably right. The only decent ones speaking up are AOC and Bernie, and they have been yelling into the void for many years now.

But the large majority has nothing to hide, is white and is not affected until it's too late. First they come for the....

The article is about the US.

But since you mention him, Orbán was plenty bad, afaik he acted largely within the law. Like the gerrymandering in the US that disenfranchises minority voters. And as I said, Trump acts outside the law in addition to all the fucked up stuff they're doing by the book.

I'm patiently waiting to see what else it takes for Americans to overthrow this government.

From his pedophile ring to unlawful executive orders, wars, tariffs.. Trump keeps breaking the law and acts outside their beloved constitution. All with consent from the majority in both ruling parties, either by direct support (R) or silence (D).

Let's do it!! Pick your favourites (or all) and write your MP or other political representative. Also contact the companies you do business with to encourage them to follow along. Sovereignty as security to continue operations can be a good argument. It can help to address your mail to the IT department, hopefully they understand your concerns.

It's Apple, it will most likely run "on device" - so the iPhone the airpods are connected to in this case

Surely it will all run on the phone anyway

VII has yet to hold my excitement, I've played a few rounds but 80% of the time prefer opening VI.

It's just another distribution of wealth to the top. The cash is collected, the tariffs deemed illegal and the big box stores keep the money. The courts will get overwhelmed with class actions and the consumer will get $2.75 back if they can send in their receipts.
