Be an iPhone enjoyer and defend Apple here on Lemmy.

There’s no beating the hive mind.

Ah I see. It is the chocolate industry’s turn to have an existential shortage crisis, jacking up prices never to come back down.

MBAs sure are smart for coming up with this one to keep up the charade of perpetual growth.

Tbh he should get the money if he somehow convinced all those mods to work for free

Well it’ll only be fully consenting brains.

I do not, as I clicked on the most active “legal advice” community when I searched. Didn’t realize instances played that important of a role.

Perhaps this community should be renamed to “LegaAdviceCanada” instead of expecting new members to know to check the instance.

Context: Salaried employee living in California, working for a fully-remote software startup.

After two years on-call is being implemented. It’s unpaid, and mandatory. With current rotations I’m looking at 10 weeks per year. On-call was not previously required, nor does it appear in my employment contract.

I’ve done some reading and it appears that as long as there aren’t overt restrictions to movement then unpaid uncall is fine.

However, they’re expecting 10-15 minute response times and you always being in a location with internet service.

Additionally, these text alerts are expected to be setup on our personal devices and phone plans. The company does not contribute towards these costs, nor do they issue work phones.

Does that constitute as overly restrictive? And if so, do I have a case?

TPM on my motherboard is forever disabled and I’m going down with the Windows 10 ship. Another couple years and Proton will be even better than it already is.

Most upvoted Lemmy post I’ve seen since joining and OP is getting blasted in the comments by people missing the point.

I gotta hand it to Apple for taking one for the team and soaking up all of the EU’s anti-trust efforts. Lets other American tech companies do egregious shit like this. /s

To add on to this, because I was curious what was causing the turtles to be toxic in this way.

The toxins responsible for chelonitoxism have not been definitively identified, but are thought to accumulate in turtles from their environment and diet, without harming the turtles themselves. All parts of the turtles are potentially toxic, whether the meat is eaten raw, cooked, or in soup.

Seriously. Reddit is a glorified link sharing service with comments looking for a 6+ billion valuation. Christian and a couple backend devs could recreate it all in a weekend.

Reddit is hopeful that AI training is their golden ticket but in all reality they’ll only ever have one large buyer. OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc, don’t want something that Gemini already bought.

With all that out of the way, I don’t see very many companies lining up to license a far left-leaning dataset that had all non-echo chamber discussion banned. I mean, look at how much trouble Google got in with an objectively racist Gemini that forced them to turn off human image generation.
