Virtually any company big enough to make a worthwhile phone is going to do terrible things. Think a given company is an exception? They won’t be once they get larger.

That being said, the fact that “everybody does it” doesn’t make it okay. The “blue vs green bubble” shit is nonsense that’s totally unnecessary.

Was it imported cheese? Foreign cheese? If so, he had every reason to be irate. Real GQP patriots eat American cheese, and only American cheese! 🇺🇸 🦅

My first guess is that it would have been overpriced and deliberately incompatible with existing chargers. No loss.

What kind of fediverse search are you talking about? Provide a link. That would do much, much more than any explanations or testimonials possibly could.

Because people are dumb. If the machine knows when someone is looking at it, it can stop doing whatever it does to try and get your attention, and put itself in “sales mode”.

Still, you’re right. It seems like an overly complicated and expensive solution. Old-fashioned vending machines did the job just fine.

In 1778, Court of Session judges ruled that slavery was incompatible with Scots Law. This ruling meant Knight could not be made to carry out tasks for Wedderburn or be taken back to Jamaica against his will.

Awesome. Knight is a hero.

The only good thing to come out of this is that the cop quit. I hope he’s billed for the damage to the car anyway.

You provide an excellent example regarding training requirements. As part of those, I would also like to include safe use and home storage.

Yes, I’m American.

People with second amendment bumper stickers on their trucks seem to selectively forget the “well regulated” part.

This would be neither simple nor guarantee a secure border, but they don’t care. They just want a legal excuse to kill brown people.

Don’t support corporate “personhood”. Refusing to call Twitter by the stupid name Musk has given it is 100% acceptable.

You nailed it. That’s why I put “okay” in quotes. Those laws exist for a reason, and lionizing cops who break the law only teaches the public to accept that lawbreakers are okay if they’re on Team Good.

Unfortunately, what the government calls “good” and what you and I call “good” are often different things.

Applause and sincere appreciation to whoever decided to name the protest "Free The Peach”.

That’s “okay”, though, because we, the viewers, often know that the suspect is guilty. The cops still come off as good (and smart, with good intuition as well) because we know for certain that they’re doing the “right” thing.

Thanks for including the link. I didn’t know who this creep was.

So, reading the responses you’ve gotten, it’s totally someone doing something stupid that you haven’t heard of before. That’s because you have basic common sense and aren’t cruel to animals.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve read today. What the fuck ever, Idaho.

That’s because most fictional cops have ethics, empathy, and a conscience.

This is only a temporary “problem”. Eventually, ads will be incorporated into the story, and/or advertising companies will include clauses in their contracts. I imagine those clauses will DEMAND that websites include advertising in AI readers or not get paid for any ads they run.

Think enshittification. AI readers are only ad-free now in order to make them seem like an attractive option, and get people hooked on using them. I bet the numbers have already been calculated and decided on. Once AI readers are used by enough people, the ads will start.

Microsoft reneged on promises it made in court…

If those promises aren’t legally binding, then why take them into account in the first place?
