What kind of research necessitates killing whales??

If he’s doing this for profit, there has to be a consumer… Who are the consumers and what are they buying?

Are we playing Jeopardy?

Then you know full well that just because they shouldn’t take all the crab legs doesn’t mean they don’t/won’t take them all. If I go for crab legs and none are available, I’ll blame Mandarin and give them a crappy review. People will be people. Can’t blame them.

You’re referring to Mandarin Buffet aren’t you

Lmao what’s with the salty tone lol

I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. It’s much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.

As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession (my current MacBook is approaching 10 years), so while I wouldn’t say I agree with “more people need to leave it”, I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise). Which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford and are in the market for).

I’m not an expert or anything, but as it has been explained to me, the geo-political consequences of Ukraine having NATO weapons is enormous… If Ukraine were to have access to F-18s, F-35s, or any NATO asset, it would implicate NATO, and further escalate the conflict towards a NATO-Russian war (World War 3), and the precipitation of nuclear assets. This is why even France’s own Dassault assets and Sweden’s Saabs were not offered. F-16s are old enough, and used enough by non-NATO forces that this might be okay.

A prolonged war, while incredibly tragic, might still be less costly than World War 3…

Damn, those drones sitting in the audience clapping is equally disgusting.

As a manager, I empower my team to work remotely as much as possible 🤷

What’s your business dictating what others do?

What’s with the misery?

Yeah, IIRC someone mentioned that this is actually a Lemmy bug and not a sync bug…

I think you meant to reply to @d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz

But I agree with you lol

Carries the same weight as “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly”. It’s the fault of those little green men in kerbal space program.

Data leak? In the security field, they categorize it as “information disclosure”… But it doesn’t have the same level of gravitas to it

Thanks for the plexamp reco! I didn’t realize there was a music app by Plex.

+1 to purchasing a new license. I did. Lets support the dev.

Unrelated but TIL about TachiyomiJ2K… really loving the j2k UX over the base…

I’m not in the US, but one of the issues I have with medical insurance is that, say you need medication, the doctor will provide you with a prescription, requiring a specific brand due to the efficacy compared to other brands. The insurance providers would reject claims for the prescribed brand, and suggest an inferior brand that doctors warned to avoid.

This happened to my older folks, and is baffling why insurances feel the need to override a doctor’s recommendations.
