If this was "light speed", how long "should" it have taken? 200 years?

I see you all over Lemmy being shitty. Blocking now

It sounds like you are making excuses for ppl. enjoy that ✌️

We should absolutely call them out on being hypocrites. These are people who vote against their own interests and against anyone's interest who isn't a billionaire. They do not care about the waste until it's spent, ironically, helping poor people. But if a Republican wastes trillions on war or even raises their taxes, they're as quiet as a mouse.

I wish it were as simple as you say. Republicans would never make into office again. But you're entirely wrong about that simplicity

I'm not sure what your point is, but to reiterate, mine is that people are selfish and I think that's a bad thing. I can't tell if you think it's a good thing or what.

Again, point me to apple's attempts to implement or help create a texting standard. Unless you'd like to instead say that standards are not an extremely important part of human society. Because unless you believe that, their actions are indefensible and that's a separate issue from how fucked up Google is.

I'm not. I get it now. Someone else reminded me, "nb" already means non black which is a good point. I think clarity in language is good which is the only reason I spoke up but I get it now. Especially given this reply. Makes sense. No hard feelings

That's a weird question. No of course not, not even sure you understand what that means...

Again jargon is designed for the in group. When language is more accessible to all random Internet users... On the random Internet... Seems like a win to me.

Ok, I get what you mean. My counterpoints would be that nb in writing wouldn't "flow" differently because typing isn't the same as speaking. Out of context, a lot of insider terms get lost.

But you do you.

You're very correct. A core belief at apple is that the customer is too stupid to know what they want, so you can whatever you want down their throat.

There is some merit to the idea that true innovation won't be anticipated by customers so you have to take risks. But the way apple does it pisses me off to no end.

No apple, removing every port (except shitty ass lightning ports of course) is not a good idea. It just isn't.

Welcome to 2014 my friend

It's only a "battle" because of people like you insisting sexism doesn't exist
