Fortunately, and overwhelmingly provably, the physical and legal world doesn't work in the way you wish it did.

Protip: as soon as you're talking about "never" or "always" or "happened before" or "still happens" .. basically anything in terms of any absolutes, you're not operating in the real world.

People survived car crashes before seatbelts were mandated. People still die in car crashes even when using seatbelts. You'd be a moron to argue seatbelts are useless or car manufactures should not be legally required to put them in cars.

The things that influence law and society is the actual data (how it changes over time) and nuance, and that's what the law deals in. Things you seem quite resistant to engage in.

Multiple people can share responsibility, as their actions combine together. A person who drives somebody to a bank for the known purpose of robbing the bank is determined to share *some* responsibility for the robbery of the bank. Just because they're not the person who took the money out of the bank vault does not mean the law does not consider them partly responsible.

I know I know, life is so much easier if you just try and make everything stupidly simple.

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are quire safe then.

Tim Cook had a brilliant career, but he had to embarras himself by sucking up to the orange utan.

Enjoy your retirement TIm Apple, you nauseating man.

Yeah... let's not.

I'm old enough to have zero fondness for old computer shit. Vintage is for those who haven't had to suffer it to do actual work.

On balance, it would appear to be the case.

I respect many of those comedians for their satire, but not getting news from newspapers is a recipie for idiocracy.

"but labor is so insane"

I gather this is your fault

Ya, I have a few official releases from that era recorded on professional walkmans.

Some studio cleanup and they sound like the times. Surprisingly good given the source.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses."

Because existing cameras don't automatically identify people in public when you point them at them? I mean, Meta clearly understands how it's different - they're trying to toe the line between hoping certain groups with certain mandates don't notice too much, but the glasses doing what other cameras don't do is obviously a part of the utility sales pitch - so why don't you?

I have been to all of the QC Snapdragon briefs, know the engineers personally, and have written about the shitshow on SemiAccurate.com extensively, basically I know what is going on. QC doesn't understand what they are doing and why, and there is ZERO internal impetus to change from the people on top. They do nearly nothing on software enablement because, "That is Microsoft's job". Drivers are intentionally locked down and encrypted to block Linux, and x86 compatibility is BETTER in hardware than the Mac Mx line (Same people who did the M1 and M2 did the X1 and X2, and they all just bailed on QC) but the software is.... oh look outside, there is a sky.

TLDR: No chance in hell there will be a fix.

To be fair, the entire governmental apparatus of the United States seems to be going "Ideology? Super. Caring about reality? Fuck off."

Giving a shit about the details right now is forest for trees stuff. The electorate has handed over the keys to the child in the backseat, thinking, "Well it can't be that bad, and the adults were telling us stuff we didn't like to hear. Yee haw, cut those programs! Tax us less! Money is magic!"

No one is born a bigot. You elect to be stupid enough to be one.

I mostly run application fullscreen and switch between them. The only exception is when I'm comparing the content of two windows (in which case I tile horizontally or vertically) and file selection (floating).

When an application uses the entire screen without the window decorations needed in a regular window manager, a screen's limited real estate is in fact better used in a tiled window manager.
