the chargers includes dumping volumes of plastic, glass and polymers, with accumulations comparable to dozens of Olympic swimming pools, according to prosecutors.

Hey, I thought they were on trial in France, what’s with these American units of measurement?!

After prices go up, if the market absorbs the change, they rarely go back down quickly or at all… after all, if people can afford 25% more, why sell it cheaper?

If any other company dropped net profits by 71% they’d be firing their CEOs (well giving them a golden parachute to gtfo) and having some major shake ups.

Everyone I know that would have left Facebook over this already left years ago during other scares/changes/security issues.

I dropped it cold Turkey about 9yrs ago and never looked back.

Now, can Facebook shut down to the Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of your life)”?

While I enjoyed having paper textbooks in school (until I got to college and they were $300+ each), when was the last time you seriously used a paper textbook to learn something new? In this day and age we have Google/Bing/Kagi and you’re going to search for the thing you need to know, pull up Wikipedia, read a few blog posts or the documentation from the project itself, and then apply what you learned.

We’re teaching children how better to survive in today’s world, not teaching them how to survive in our grandfathers world.

Now, my kid has read a few physical paperbacks for her high school English class, and reads plenty of physical books when she gets them from the library or buys them, but classwork is online, instruction is in person, and she seems to be doing just fine not carrying around 20lbs of paper every day. If anything I’d say her note taking has improved more than mine did when I assumed I could simply just open the book back up. This is the world we live in and she’s being taught how to survive in it.

Woooooooooosh

Gotta combine expenses and get the most out of your venue rental.

He emphasized that the proposed tariffs would leave companies with no choice but to invest in domestic production facilities to avoid high taxes.

No choice except the obvious: Pass the cost of the Tax into the customer because there’s no way they’re going to spend billions to stand up a US fab plant anytime soon.

If Elon was out of the picture, I’d be fine with SpaceX. They’ve done some cool things (reusable, self landing, mass produced rockets is a pretty great achievement) and would be in a better spot if he wasn’t at the helm pushing Starship to its doom.

To be fair, NASA would happily absorb SpaceX given the money and ability to. The Falcon series is exactly what they need and they could properly develop Starship.

Even if sanity is restored next election cycle, I think at this point no one will ever trust us again knowing that in 4 years there’s a huge chance all hell will break loose again.

Those are rookie numbers!

Might have to put in a Lemmy Feature Request. Or a GitHub issue “BUG: Unable to upvote this post more than once”

“Everything’s legal in New Jersey”

That’s exactly what someone who sucks at it would say.

I feel like that’s saying that my computer monitor needs a “killer app”.

It seemed like a straight forward AR/VR device to me. There’s plenty it can already do… virtual displays and apps in 3d space, privately and on the go is just a start… it’s just WAY too expensive for people to want to do so.

We’re just speed running enshitification.
