“Economy” is almost always corpo newspeak for wealthy people’s money. If they actually meant the economy as in everyone’s stake in the economic system the phrase “cost the economy” would be meaningless. Buy devices second hand direct from individual seller markets or older models. The article also quotes multiple CEOs but no labor leaders.

“Forbes said Schnatter used the N-word during a media training exercise. When asked how he would distance himself from racist groups, Schnatter reportedly complained that Colonel Sanders never faced a backlash for using the word.”

What a dingus, says the n word in a conference call on what not to say in media, then when there’s backlash complain about someone else getting to say it. Just lacking any sense of self awareness after already bitching about NFL players protesting against systemic racism. Either he’s a racist white supremacist piece of piss or one of the dumbest people to suck air, maybe both.

I have a feeling like you could do a completely mechanical one. Like a way to push it open and a part gets pushed out to stay put so when you open the faucet back up it bumps it and has a little resistance when it first turns so you don’t accidentally move it. Rotate the full way around to reset.

CEO articles most often than not are just corpo salespeople telling you about trash they are trying to push on people. They are literally paid millions of dollars by the wealth class to not tell the truth unless under oath in court or a deposition. They’re not paid for hard work or leadership, if you’ve worked in a corp setting for at least a week that much is obvious. They are paid buckets full of money to ignore or suppress their morality for stock prices. It’s obvious when it’s garbage like language models sold as agi, but the same is true for the rest of the pr vomit they feed to news agencies.

If a tech executive says we’re on the cusp of a technology breakthrough it means less than nothing and we should be more suspicious of it than already. These are people who don’t know how to manage an organization based on the frequent layoffs (2009, 2014, 2023-2025 over 20k workers). People get fired because they fuck up, management layoff people because management fucked up.

I know it’s not for everyone, but just in case anyone needs a couple good metal screams to make sure

Sandboxing by default and preventing Google and others from spying in and manipulating apps are good steps phone OS developers should use, but I don’t think those kind of things would help for this particular case.

Biometrics aren’t passwords they are usernames, passwords necessarily change I’m not changing my fingerprints or iris or bhole or whatever they want to scan. With how easy it is to copy someone’s bio markers vs stealing their password this would be a huge security risk if they want to use it for entry to secured facilities.

If you’re feeling the itch for more social media just keep it off the corp owned stuff, piefed, mastodon, etc. If it’s for news and current events rss feeds are great for that.
