Dude is still simping for Musk. No sympathy.

blitzen , to technology in Saudi Arabia passes law requiring USB-C charges for smartphones
@blitzen@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m in the minority here, but I don’t think any governments should be regulating the choice of cable in smartphones. I think it’s a convenience that they can dangle in front of people so they can say they are pro-consumer, while ignoring the working conditions of those who manufacture it, the taxes paid by corporations who make the phones, the lobbying done against right-to-repair laws, and the monopolistic tendencies displayed by these companies.

The governments have a real responsibility to hold these companies responsible for a lot of things, but I don’t think the choice of one small piece of the technology pie should be one of them.

Nothing about Saudi Arabia is pro-consumer.

blitzen , to technology in Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.

I’m not defending anything, other than basic usage of the English language. I’m not saying Bluetooth is better, objectively or subjectively, than a wired connection. You’re free to prefer one over the other, but any preference is just that, a preference.

Don’t think you understand what objectively means.

Not objectively

They are going to answer with some stupid reasoning like removing the 3.5mm jack.

But truly Apple stance on right-to-repair really is their only non-defendable stance. And this is coming from an Apple fanboy.

blitzen , to technology in Reddit CEO Steve Huffman on blackout: It's expensive to run a company.
@blitzen@lemmy.ml avatar

I feel that maybe you’re reading my question as ‘critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc’ which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it’s possible that painting all critique with a broad ‘xenophobia’ brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.

I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?
