Only way this would matter is if they were forced to sell or spin off Instagram and Whatsapp.

They’re really not, but if the people involved are filled with extreme disgust as they probably are, I can see how they might see it differently.

Tbh if they’re not direct descendents, his line is already gone. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Is my 10th cousin 11 times removed part of my line?

Tremendous people, the best people.

It’s got to be either Russia or the US.

Supposedly the team left OwnCloud and forked it. So the value is that the OCIS team will be working on OpenCloud in the future.

I don’t think the general populace was particularly interested in buying 5000 dollar US made smartphones lmao

I mean he more or less did it at gunpoint. Do you not remember how hated he used to be? He would’ve been shot by someone eventually for sure.

On the subject of those two anyway, I think Slimbook is just a Clevo reseller?

Not sure about Tuxedo

At the same time you could argue that his decisions have affected billions of people on this planet in a negative way and the fifty million lives saved were to whitewash everything else he’s done. He’s not doing it out of the kindness of his heart, he did it because 1) Melinda told him she’d fuck off if he kept being such a jackass, and 2) As one of the most hated men in the world, he needed to fix his image.

I was pointing out that it’s not only Apple users who pay out the ass for their phones. It transcends brand loyalty. Everyone is spending too much on phones and will continue to do so even if prices rise.

The Galaxy S series and the Pixel devices cost about the same tbh, with some of the foldable models being particularly expensive. Buying way too much phone isn’t exclusive to Apple users. Apple is just clever by not really providing an entry-level priced phone. It’s both a scumbag move to make more money, but also a way to make sure that inferior devices providing an inferior experience don’t ruin their rep.

IIRC the profit margins are no longer even close to what they used to be. They’re now estimated to cost between 400 and 700 dollars to make depending on the specs. Used to be what, 75 dollars?

The fact is, the hardware side is economically pretty comparable to high end Android devices. Those are going to go up in price and so are iPhones.

Google and Apple of course have the app store fees as a sweet source of income, so they have an advantage compared to Samsung.

And if you are American, get the fuck away from Google asap

Owned by Google. Unfortunately it was never going to be without data collection.

Most people are too lazy to switch to alternatives when docker works fine most of the time and has a huge community to get support from. What do you use?

Idk if it’s still going on but at least at some point, in some corner of the Tok, mental disorders were like little honor badges you could collect. People always showing off their stimming and whatever.

The worst one was always multiple personality disorder though. People referring to themselves as systems, having 100s of alters and getting new ones every now and then.

It sucks because it diminishes the realness of different disorders in people’s heads.

Money IS the ideology.

Having watched kitchen nightmares, it’s pretty easy to lose that kinda money on a restaurant too

lol
