Are you trying to say competition is good for the consumer?! That’s a wild accusation.

Someone needs to turn the hyperbole dial down on Lemmy. My feed is frequently nothing but Chicken Little’s whining about trivial shit. When something truly egregious comes up, I’m not going to be able to see if in a sea of outrage.

I heard simular things about the Apple Watch.

I disagree that it’s pointless. You never know what a Judge is going to decide.

You really can’t. If I ask one of my Indian co-workers what part of India they are from, I’m not trying to figure out where they land in the caste system. Indian-Americans know this, and because of them now I know why someone would avoid volunteering that information. There’s no one size fits all reaction here. Maybe they are super well informed racists that know specific regional race/classism, but I think more often than not, westerners are asking it just like they’d ask favorite sports, foods, leisure activities and so on.

You keep the audiobooks you’ve paid for directly with credits when you cancel.

Forgery usually involves submitting what you faked to some other entity in order to do something. Maybe if you illegally copied and sold that music. Regardless the penalties are similar anyway.

The record company can’t disable my physical CD from working if they choose to. That’s 99% of the point.

I found several form or reddit posts indicating there was so setting. I kind abandoned the whole thing once I found several pieces of software are no longer releasing deb files and are using some kind of flatpack that wasn’t working. I’m completely ignorant of current linux, but I can’t help but feel like it was easier to manage back in 2008 when I daily drove it.

These are click bait bad, not well read into bad. “Cheap Chinese labor” is not inherently bad unless you’re for isolationism. Apple, nor any western company is directly responsible for suicides. Jobs at Foxconn were considered one of the better ones relative to the rest of the country, and workers live on site in dorms u like what you’d find in the west. The suicide rate was lower than all 50 US states. Apple only slowed down phones whose batteries were degraded so much that they couldn’t handle the power draw. The alternative was having the phone crash and reboot. They screwed up by not announcing it clearer.

So in other words, you can’t use it in Linux…

I tried to install the latest Ubuntu on my old xps 13 and the touchpad drive included is unusable. It’s way way too sensitive, and there is no settings to change it. You have to completely replace it with something else apparently.

🤷‍♂️

I’ve said very little, you seem like the one trying to convince yourself. 🤷‍♂️

You’re calling me selfish for caring about my family, work, and real life things instead of the Internet? That’s just sad man.

My family matters. My work matters. My pleasure activities matter. Whether or not some rando on the Internet is able to read my comment really doesn’t matter.

18 Years ago I was more patient with things like that. Today my patience is only for shit that matters.

What’s the point in being so pedantic? Calling it the correct thing isn’t going to make it palatable.

You can argue semantics until you go blue in the face. If you’re not used to spicy food or hot food, or food that produces a similar feeling in the mouth, you have to be careful with Indian food. Your tolerance level isn’t everyone else’s.

Spiced does not mean spicy hot.

Yea but like… it’s way hotter than most other American food by default.
