Sounds like more gross incompetence from the Elon Musk playbook, whom spez idolizes because he's also an incompetent fucking bozo. Oh well, fools and their money and all that.

Does not literally turning traitor and attempting to overthrow the United States of America and murder the vice president count as a social norm?

Yeah, I sacrificed my SD slot in favor of the headphone jack when I chose my Pixel.

Remember when buying a phone meant they added new features instead of taking them away from you? Those were the days.

Son of a submariner, that would be swell

That would be Yoshitaka Amano.

Easier to control your populace if they just have a 4th grade education and are directly dependent on the government to eat. But don't worry about the Texan economy, they'll be more than happy to siphon unearned money from blue states that actually create something of value instead of more culture war bullshit

The real key to making this work properly is standardized battery sizes. You know, like the AA and AAA standards we've had for one hundred years.

I stopped buying Samsung phones because of this bullshit

Fair enough. Demands that don't appeal in some way to their id, then.

Unddit is one. Also reveddit and pushshift.

When you make up fake science out of whole cloth, it's easy to make up something to that accords with people's biases. Actual truth is simply less likely to fall into that category, and more likely to be uncomfortably inconvenient or terrifying. There's nothing fun about global warming, deadly pandemics, nor microplastic pollution.

Fake news never makes demands on its target audience. Sometimes it says "you are the victim", or "those people are the problem", or at the very least, "this is fine." But it never says "if we don't get our shit together we and our children face a dismal future." Instead it always appeals to the greedy and the lazy amongst us.
