Varoufakis likes to say what a lot of people like to hear 🤣😉.

@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Varoufakis likes to position himsetas a sage. Someone that "saw it coming and warned everyone but nobody listened". He likes to pop back and pretend he had solutions or influence but the world just conspired against him.

I don't know if he's wrong on this one. I do know he often sprays a bunch of doomsayer predictions and only reviews the ones he was vaguely in the same ballpark for. He's the classic embodiment of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy and, naturally, a lot of people want to believe what he's pedaling. If he sells a few books or gets paid to give speeches here and there then so be it. After all.... he did warn us.

Yeah fair enough. I should say I haven't read his latest. He's been almost constantly on the European media circuit with hot takes on anything and everything from economics to science to politics to culture since the Greek economic crisis with the EU.

I used to like him in the beginning but after a while I got the impression he was the guy at the bar with a whisky and cigar in his hand telling the same story to patrons. But, my god, what a story it was!

Off topic but I'm always amazed how many of the posts in the Fediverse are about Elon Musk. People are obsessed with this cunt.

Google fires 28 employees after protest over Israel cloud contract (www.theverge.com)

Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday....

That's not something you put in your contract unless you're planning on doing something that'll attract boycotts

Nah mate, I'm quietly suggesting that the US arms Israel to the teeth to preserve US interests, influence, and economic strength. They ain't going to do anything that rocks that boat.

Other features, like Thunderbolt, running displays over USB-C, the system's built-in microphone, and the Touch ID fingerprint sensors, remain non-functional.

The sad truth is that nobody that can do anything about it gives a shit. Musk doesn't give a shit. The US government doesn't give a shit. The shareholders don't give a shit. There's too much money for them to give a shit.

Stop working for this asshat. And stop giving free publicity.

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Shareholders / investors / stock holders... you get the idea. People that have invested money in the company. They don't give a shit and just want returns.

developers can offer other payment options outside the App Store, but they still need to pay Apple a 27% fee. In addition, they have to follow some guidelines to promote an external link while also reporting to Apple about every purchase made through this external link so the company can charge a fee.

I think the meeting at Apple when they were discussing this must have gone something like Well how hard can we fuck them before their arsehole ruptures? A bit more? Sure let's go for it. Lube? Nah we don't need that.

I don't want to start a political drama but.... What's the French or EU equivalent and why isn't it as popular? Or is it? I honestly don't know but keep asking the question why is Amazon (or Google for that matter) so dominant in their markets even outside the US?

Have they abandoned the Snap package then? What's the deal with the new deb?

mannycalavera ,
@mannycalavera@feddit.uk avatar

Right ok. Must have got my wires crossed. I thought Mozilla stopped supporting anything but snaps on Ubuntu and hence dropped the debs.

My bad 😔.

That was it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Not to be cynical but there is absolutely no way the US is finding against Apple. I would be extremely shocked if they lost.

We could have taken that approach with cars as well. Who needs more than 20HP anyway? We should have just kept repairing the Model T and been happier with what we have, right?

Maybe the EU 🇪🇺 should legislate that German car companies should cease to produce new cars and instead commit to repairing what they have already produced, for free presumably?

Take your disgust at this post and now apply it to what you're talking about 😂.

Your car gets serviced for free for decades after you've bought it? Damn I've been ripped off all these years.
