Still becomes e-waste if Roku drops support for it. Granted, that’s not the best example as I’ve got an old-ass Roku that still works, but the point stands. Same goes for Fire sticks and other devices like that.

Just look at Spotify’s Car Thing.

If you’re into metal, here are a few bands renowned for mixing cultural music with heavy metal off the top of my head:

Norway - Ulver (They have possibly the most varied discography in all of music, but their first album is a mix of black metal and Norwegian folk music, and their second is entirely Norwegian folk music)

Brazil - Sepultura (From Arise to Roots they started incorporating a lot of Brazilian musical ideas)

Romania - Negura Bunget (They’re the only reason I know what a nai is)

Just look at the industrial amounts of bullshit spewing from Elon Musk’s Twitter feed.

Clearly the answer is no.

So you don’t have a reason, then? Figured as much.

Because what?

Why would they be wrong?

You’re bang on the money.

If even half of what this article is suggesting were true, why wouldn’t Temu use their 1337 hacker skills to steal money outright rather than disguising it as a shopping app?

Temu can recompile itself

I don’t think the author knows what “compile” means when it comes to software.

…but then your clothes might look like you’ve worn them before.

What are you? Poor?

The first that came to mind is 100%ing the OG Crash Bandicoot on PS1.

Back when you could only get a level’s gem if you didn’t use a checkpoint.

Schwing

It’s some sort of perverse arms race built around a shared lie we all pretend we don’t know about.

There’s a lot of that when it comes to work in general. It’s like it’s taboo to point out that the only reason people show up to their jobs is because they get paid for it.

The first two Spice Girls albums are great.

Even the Android version lets you install uBlock Origin.

Musk probably wanted to make it @x42069.

A teaching of Jesus is to obey your master. Hence that whole social conservatism thing.

How incredibly stupid the customers are.

I guess anybody who works in any sort of customer service gets this, but I swear to god, 90% of our customers can’t even fucking read - which is really bad when you work for an online retailer and most of your interactions with them are through email.

Religion is always socially conservative. Fiscal conservatism doesn’t tend to jive with the teachings of most religions.

The fact that they tend to vote conservative anyway may show where their priorities lie, but I wasn’t lying when I said that most pastors were socialists in the early 20th century - it should be a natural consequence of believing in the teachings of Jesus.

There’s an episode of Behind the Bastards called “How the Rich Ate Christianity” about how certain people essentially constructed the religious right. In the early 20th century, the majority of pastors were socialists.
