Why not? There are already tons of safety and insurance regulations that Apple has to comply with, on top of that they rely on tons of open standards, and most of the amazing technological advances that make their products possible aren’t things that they invented, nor are designs that they own.
Anything that makes devices better for people is better.
The company Fairphone makes almost perfectly repairable smartphones, but they’re only for the European market and the radios won’t really work in the US. I think it would be a similar case for a lot of phones so it might not actually be super viable to import phones in the future either, unfortunately.
I honestly don’t know, but I probably wouldn’t want to live in an place with no access to the outside at all, not even a window.
that’s the thing - who’s gonna buy a big campus in this market… kinda reminds me of homberguy/aquaman meme
to who? this video has a pretty good explanation of why so many buildings can’t be converted or just won’t make sense to convert. https://youtu.be/imyPVFFACTk
I think it’s important to note here that it’s not necessarily great for everyone if the companies everybody works for lose a bunch of money. Companies will try as hard as possible not to realize that loss, and after that happens, lots of office buildings aren’t really built in a way where they can be converted to do anything useful, so they’re just gonna sit there. Normal people are probably going to end up paying for this - personnel are some of the easiest things to let go of for a balance sheet.
gotcha - it’s really interesting the amount of potential for integration with all of these platforms, since it’s not like they care about losing users from a link - hopefully support is added! thanks!
here’s a noob fediverse question, if that’s a Mastodon post, then why couldn’t it just be linked directly in Lemmy? I thought that was part of the point of the activitypub protocol.
oh damn! awesome! my current phone still functions well, so hopefully the next one has a headphone jack and I’ll get one, thanks for linking that!
