Yes, you’re not a corporation, you’re an individual person. The difference is scale.

I totally am lol.

If they do feed the grid, they’ll probably get some credit back which ultimately lines their pockets instead of funding public infrastructure.

That… makes a lot of sense, I hadn’t considered that.

That totally makes sense that they would need pure sand, idfk how to make that work. But if Intel needs rounded sand grains, then they need to find another way to erode sand into that shape cause ocean sand is quite unique from the billions of years it’s had to tumble in the ocean. Otherwise Intel will indeed be using ocean sand.

Also it occurred to me that making chips on glass could be more recyclable since glass is also recyclable. 🤔 Would be good if that happens!

Sand is a non-renewable resource

Not all beaches are public, and not all are in America where there are laws that protect beaches.

I just hope this doesn’t mean Big Tech is incentivized to buy up lots of beach sand from poor cities already dealing with hurricanes.

Beach sand, if you didn’t know, is an important barrier between the land and oceans and greatly affects the size of waves that come crashing into the coast. Big rocks and other substrates just don’t calm waves like ocean-eroded sand can.

Not everyone can afford a windscreen mount, but you’re not wrong, it would be good to have your GPS on or near the windscreen.

I mean… I’d still prefer no hole punch at all.

Edit: Not that I actually care what apple does directly, but it does ripple through the industry of copycats

Hey, some of us take the time to cite our sources!

It’s a fair question, and also this conversation leaves out the necessity of public transportation which would be a much better way to reduce pollution (which EV fans will often say is why you need an EV).

Honestly, detecting criminals in the stock market isn’t a bad idea, the problem is they all are.

We can only hope

Ooooh I really hope they scam them out of their money. This would be a perfect opportunity to hook the NYPD on crypto too. /s

This can only end in more institutionalized racism and other forms of oppression by the NYPD.

No, i had watch a video showing it to figure out that it’s just the fancy way they make their UI of iOS use the camera cutout intentionally. It does dynamic stuff and makes it feel less like a static island. They’re really scraping the barrel with that one.

Which one lol?

I believe change needs to start locally, and if we rise up and challenge capital interests, maybe other countries can too.

Good bot!

Hamas is less “attacking innocent civilians” and more doesn’t know where civilians will be since they are a poor and oppressed retaliation force. And the Iron Dome is pretty much impenetrable because Israel shoots anything down in their airspace.

There is a very important difference between aiming generally at the oppressive force which includes civilians who continue to replace Palestinians who’ve lived there for their whole lives and targeting civilians, children included. Palestine does the former, Israel does the latter.

Look, I don’t actually think I’m going to convince you of anything, but I hope it gives you pause at least.

Eh, if they fail, that just means they don’t get to poison the earth and groundwater while stealing resources from the ground, sounds like a win-win to me.
