He should accessorise that jumper with a combadge

Not at all, if your weren’t trolling, I hope your found those points helpful in describing the benefits of visibility.

One of the things I missed out was government accountability, where police departments have historically labelled these as isolated incidents, because the big picture is pretty sickening.

I hesitated whether to engage because your use of the word “completely” labels you a troll. You also put “bringing awareness” in quotes instead of using the word visibility, presumably to belittle the concept.

Visibility helps collect and track data, drive policy, reveal patterns, support victims and survivors, improve early intervention and prevention, and, hopefully, eventually, shift cultural attitudes.

But you could get that from Google if you gaf.

No

These comments seem to be full of the same people who misunderstand that the word “racism” describes a massive cultural and societal issue that affects people in large, hidden ways throughout their life, rather than using bad words.

If they had a problem in Italy of men being murdered for not being obedient, it might be worth considering broadening the scope of this classification.

This does not even target the perpetrators as a class (even though we can probably guess a general demographic), just classifies the crime according to what has happened to the victim, and why. This is the same for all hate crimes that are prevalent enough to warrant it. Imo it is the culture and society that makes it a hate crime, not just the intent.

Poor robo! But the guy. With the sheet. I died.

We’ve seen everything. We’ve seen it all.

Probably like other accessories it’s the manufacturer who sets the RRP, but yeah, as usual, they’re going to be happy to get their cut.

Tim Cook has turned Apple into the company it is today through that (clearly revolting) ethos.

That is what I said, but sorry I used too many words to say greed as a motive is too simplistic

I forgot to put industrial weaving machine into the LLM, and well top result is now:

1 The “Woven Loop” — Sculptural Woven Bag

Concept:

A minimalist woven shoulder bag or clutch, created entirely from a single continuous industrial weave, without seams or hardware — a textile “unibody,” echoing Apple’s aluminum unibody design.

Made using Issey Miyake’s three-dimensional weaving technology, creating form and volume directly from the loom.

Followed by a pouch and a sash… so really I have to wonder if actually this was just a lazily AI generated idea all along.

First off, yes, this is a pretentious sock bag for rich people… or “aspirational” or design-focussed people, let’s say.

But it makes perfect sense.

1. Apple does collabs on accessories all the time, from Hermes to Belkin and Logitech. They’ll sell them in their stores if they’ve have input, generally.
2. If anyone needs some background on [Issey Miyake](https://mds.isseymiyake.com/im/en/), this is a good read. People are mentioning the “A piece of cloth” line, but this goes back to the founding principle of that design company, there’s even a series of industrial weaving machines started in the 90s named A-POC (yes), one of which lives in MoMA.
3. Designers at both companies probably adore each other’s work, they’re all pretentious types who turn function into fashion, but won’t say as much. They’ve probably been champing at the bit to collaborate for years, but like, what could we make?
4. A piece of cloth(ing) for an iPhone. Obviously. Because for people outside the Apple bubble, they’re basically the iPhone company. Use a weaving machine. This was literally the only way to fulfill all their remits. If you asked AI to come up with a collaboration between the two, it would most likely… well let’s check.

The “iFold” Tote - A structured pleated tote bag that embodies Apple’s material minimalism and Miyake’s textile innovation.

The “AirPleats” Scarf - A sculptural pleated scarf inspired by airflow and minimal form — an homage to both the “Air” line and Miyake’s signature pleats.

The “iLine” Pouch - A small, sculptural accessory pouch or sleeve—Philosophy: “Soft engineering.”

I mean tbh some of these are more whimsical and interesting, but probably don’t hold as broad appeal, so the bag sock it is. This is actually pretty boring news now I’ve read a lot more about Issey Miyake. Potentially that’s on Apple, they spent most of their collaborative time shitting on whimsy? Maybe? Probably just the broadest, cheapest (to produce!), most marketingest thing they could excrete. It’s a bit sad really.

The pattern on the inside is weirdly a lot nicer.

Yes I recommend you handcuff yourself immediately, maybe tie yourself up a bit, you’ve been pretty naughty

So what we’re saying is the CLOUD Act made it illegal in many countries to use American software and services that have any form of cloud storage?

TIL RIP Folke Bernadotte

Now if they allowed the customer to rent these and were profit-sharing, this’d be interesting. Instead it’s one step away from a boring capitalist dystopia

A dedicated network connection at each site in being installed, so householders don’t have to worry about HeatHub eating all their broadband bandwidth, the company told us

TLDR

Shame that they aren’t bending over backwards to fight this Nazism to the same extent they do “anti-semitism” even though it is pretty fucking similar

Sweet solution
