Futility is resistant
Because medicine shouldn’t become a flea market where you’re gambling your health against profit maximization.
Give pharmaceutical companies a fair price scale where they can profit, don’t let them hyperinflate prices without justification.
It’s not the same if Apple prices their phones at 20,000 USD and you decide you’re buying other brand, pharma plays these extortion games after they have captured enough market/regulation so most people have to pay or stay sick.
It’s like
– Arms dealer: Each tank cost me 500,000 dollars to make. Give me 5 billion for each.
– Let’s negotiate. How about 500 million instead?
– Arms dealer: Fiiine, but only because you’re a good client.
Pro tip: you can use Google’s Verbatim mode to get exactly what you want.
iPhone reveal events have become basically:
a) Offering as new what other brands have offered as standard for years.
b) Offering something new that only works if you buy more Apple.
I have an iPhone, and couldn’t wait for the iOS 17 release so I installed the beta. Underwhelming is the right word, the event has no right to be named “wonderlust”.
Why would Apple go through the effort to offer you new features if it can just deny standard features to older/cheaper models so you pony up for a new phone?
The most innovative thing Apple is no longer the iPad/iPhone, by a long shot. Maybe their VR set, but it’s too early to tell.
We changed to USB-C ports because the EU forced us we have courage!

… yeah… I’ll see myself out…
Ah, but when a subreddit had mostly mods from that 10%, <chef’s kiss>
AskHistorians, AskScience, WhatIsThisThing, etc.
Maybe this is another example of Sturgeon’s law.
Especially your security programs, like third-party antivirus or firewalls. They can install system-level plugins in your browsers, and sometimes those don’t work well. Windows defender and the built in firewall are good enough and play nice with other programs.
“2040: Google had laid off thousands of employees, and hasn’t been able to launch a new product in years”
So, like 2023 Google? It’s happening!
Zuck releases the hypnodrones!
I always appreciated when Reddit mods that locked a post explained why in a pinned comment. Is that possible here too? That would help the clueless users like myself who find a post late through RSS.
Worse, they gatekeep your data and only sell your attention to advertisers. That way no one has all the data but them.
Green pawn becomes ten-tails Jinchuriki.
It will be likely installed even if disabled, so your eventual malware attacker can enable it and live off the land instead of installing a key/screen that your antivirus might catch.
