Luckily while this government is stupid, they are not anti-european, so italexit is not a possibility.

There will be no italeave/italexit. Even the worst populist here knows it's suicide.

We have a really stupid minister in charge of this stuff. And i mean it in the truest sense of the word, this guy has a room temperature iq.

Anyways, the sale ban will probably fail in court, the production ban will only harm the italian industry because sure as hell they can't stop european synthetic meat from entering the country.

Corporate bootlickers and astroturfers were amongst the first to migrate here, and unfortunately are quite abundant.

Wade is a fucking treasure!

Cheap nuggets, drum things, cool music sampling old Simpsons episodes, gameplays of the worst imaginable videogames, Frank...

There's much to love in his trash network of channels.

So Alphabet:

  • is the developer the most used browser (chrome) and its open source skeleton (chromium) on which most of all of the other browsers are based on (edge, brave etc)

  • has the most used video platform online, with no close second (unless you count porn, but i'd still argue its not close)

  • has the biggest share of devices relying on its platform worldwide (android)

  • has the most used search engine worldwide.

Alphabet has to be split up. Alphabet alone is deciding what shape internet will take in the future.

Sideload uYou plus with Altstore if you want to keep all the account functionality.

Download Yattee from the App store if you prefer to watch with Piped.

I love how Sicily doesn't follow the rest of the country

Yet the samsung galaxy s5 existed and had the same ip rating (ip67) as the iphone 8.

All while maintaining both the headphone jack and a removable battery.

All excuses are just that, excuses. They wanted to remove it to profit from the sales of more expensive buds.

You can say that something is obsolete when a superior alternative is created, and is widely available.

E.g. you can say that cassettes are obsolete because cds exist, or that cds are obsolete because of streaming (arguably), but saying that one of the most widespread and reliable connectors is obsolete just because you think it's old is just an idiotic thing to say.

On one hand i welcome what fairphone and also nokia, motorola and others are doing, making replacement parts available to the general public, but still i think Fairphone are huge hypocrites as of right now because of their choice and lame justifications. I expect this crap from apple, not from the "bastions of repairability and sustainability"

It's useless to argue with this guy, he's just going around shouting that the audio jack is obsolete, doesn't even know what obsolete means and is just throwing a hissy fit.

He can't name a solution, it's just everyone's else problem that we want to use the better option.

Some people will just swallow propaganda, and defend corporations even going against their own interests.

To be clear, i'm not against bluetooth audio, heck i even have a set of high end Jabra earbuds, but those are not a substitute for my AKG k702 or my Audio Technica M40x. Having an audio jack is about having an option, and we know companies are lying through their teeth because somebody managed to add an audio jack to an iPhone without losing any functionality at all.
