Right, because there's literally no other radio, tv, internet, or other source of information where, precisely again?

Using AI to write your complaint is a perfectly valid use of AI. It maintains your points, cleans up the language, and makes it impossible to say who the author is just by the writing style.
The question is entirely whether the accusations are true.
And gig companies are absolutely exploiting workers and customers, while the specific details listed may or may not be true.
If you work 40 hours a week and can't afford a house, a car, a family, putting your kids through college, and an annual multiweek vacation, you're being robbed by your boss.
And even if you didn't want AI, you're getting it anyways.
The consolidation of corporations has placed almost the entire tech industry under a tiny number of people, a tech oligarchy. They decide what consumers must accept, rather than the market working it out through demand.
exploiting the labor of others is very scalable.
Boomer is not ok
It's like flies to shit.
I renamed all my git branches from "master" to "main" primarily because doing so upsets a certain type.
As a consumer, my response will be to use my smartphone for twice as many years. Or to buy a lower end one if the one I have breaks.
I feel like they left this one out of Idiocracy, but it would have fit the theme perfectly.
Samsung makes the RAM, and the smartphones, and the manufacturing costs haven't changed. There's nothing stopping Samsung supplying themselves RAM for their smartphones at the same price they always have. They're raising the prices not because they have to, but because they'll make more money.
you have 4 kW, someone else has 0 kW. On average 1200-1500 Watts is pretty fair rough estimate for AC, and it worked out to a nice round number of homes which is rhetorically desirable.
I don't save money with solar panels (and whole house battery), but not relying on PG&E and being able to instantly disconnect myself from the grid is a flexibility I've been happy to pay for.
if you're not scaling, you're not replacing a significant number of ICE semis
And we probably won't replace semi trucks with EVs very quickly. For two reasons I can think of:
First, the lack of charging infrastructure and grid capacity that could handle a 1.2MW charger for a significant number of trucks at say a typical truck stop.
The second is that there's depreciation built into the industry. So most owners will want to squeeze the useful life out of their fleet before replacing them.
The real party is on X, if you're not there you're missing out.
Remember when Digg chimped out and everyone left to join Reddit?
That moment passed some years ago. Now Reddit mods have been caught red-handed luring children to their houses to inject them with SUPER GIRL JUICE aka trans hormones. Without parental knowledge or consent, kind of like how California public schools do.
Inertia will keep them from going down significantly. As it takes energy to change orbits, up or down, your velocity is what establishes the orbit. Collisions tend to make the debris orbits more eccentric.
Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
