Been a Mac user for a very long time now. Dont relish the thought of seeing the OS turning into a Freemium superhighway where you get nothing but crappy apps with ads from devs hoping youâ(TM)ll move on to their Pro version for $9 a month. X86 was the only thing keeping some of that garbage out of there which is an odd thing to say. Plus does completely unrestricted homebrew really have a future? Maybe Iâ(TM)m just being a big baby who doesnâ(TM)t like change. I guess weâ(TM)ll see.

I don’t know if she did, and don’t care. She was great and we were sad to see her go.
I left because the company was bought, and the new owners laid off some of its more expensive long-tenured employees, since they were putting the site effectively into maintenance mode, trying to sell if off. They just wanted to keep ThinkGeek and didn’t care to improve the other properties. I was forced out, but I was there a long time, and it was good for me to move on when I did.

So the text contradicts the headline: it is not about climate change, but about criticizing the company in public.
This is a fake news headline. Please fix it.
(I worked with Maren briefly. She was great to work with. I also worked at Slashdot for many years, and this headline is trash.)

Robots are coming to take over jobs regardless of whether the minimum wage goes up.
If anything, I'm actually surprised that there aren't already a chain of fully automated McDonalds kiosks, with just a traveling crew of humans to maintain and restock.

The burning down of the Library of Alexandria is so overrated.
All of the Alexandrian hipsters had long ago left it behind for the Coffeeshop of Alexandria.
