Until pedo-prez and nazi-musk determines that it's hurtful to gafam.

Sorry for becoming a cynical asshole, it's actually a good news but I can't help myself these days.

Sorry for becoming a cynical asshole, it’s actually a good news but I can’t help myself these days.

Hope you'll take this criticism as honestly given, and not meant as an attack, but you're not improving the quality of Lemmy with these kind of posts.

May I suggest, instead of making a comment and apologizing for it in the same comment, you just don't make the comment at all?

It really sucks having to push through these type of comments.

Yeah you're probably right, I'll try to shut to fuck up next time. It's just that these asshole a ruining every god damn thing I believe in so I can't help to think they'll come for this too. Here I'm doing it again... I'll go serve myself a huge glass of wine to celebrate this good news, it's almost 5 anyway.

What we need is a gloom & doom venting megathread (I almost misspelled it as "negathread," LOL).

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Hey, that's not a bad name...

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah, my doom and gloom tends to sneak out as sarcasm, and other people may not be as amused. Negathread is a good idea

Hang in there brother/sister, times will be better again.

Yes it'll be a long 3 years 11 months, but still, even the laziest people usually figure their shit out at some point and change their course appropriately, and vote differently.

Trump will ruin it with an executive order.

Think of the profit that would steal from the big corps!

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

They're good at introducing them, just not as good at passing them.

There's room for a lot of politics between introducing and passing a law.

This is also nice because every state doesn't have to pass this kind of law for it to help everyone else. Companies are often willing to have california specific models of their products to comply with California specific laws, but if enough states have right to repair laws it will hopefully be easier for companies to just have all their products be compliant.

Or pretend to be compliant in the classic Apple way.

How did you come up with that username?

Haha that explains where you got the number from, but still have no idea how you remember it. I suppose they do provide a helpful jingle.

Moss, the character with the fun hair, said it best. "well, that's easy to remember".

Granted, he forgets later in the episode...

A monumental win for repair warriors; corporate gatekeeping faces a well-deserved reckoning.

Also great for the environment. Replacing a part is significantly better than the waste products and energy used in recycling facilities.

I need Louis Rossmanns input on this.

These parasites love passing laws that hurt the taxpayer looking at you, ACA...
