@thomasfuchs consumption, no, but the power supplies and chips were extremely inefficient. I remember a researcher I knew who heated his office using his power mac 8600.
CRTs have always been famous cat warmers for how much heat they radiate. My old viewsonic got warm enough that I had a little pinwheel on it.
Theres an LaTimes think piece about how bosses are unhappy that the people they forced back into offices no longer have the office etiquette that they had pre-covid and are forcing employees to take “charm school” classes.
Cry harder, you fucking babies. You asked for this. Fuck your conversion therapy.
@darrenpmeyer Emma is correct, you 100% reply-guy’d, here, and missed my point. I ignored it, because that is the reality of having a toot get traction.
I was perfectly aware maternity leave didn’t exist, but it was context that was absent from the meme. Judith Cohen was indeed an amazing woman, but this meme is praising her for struggles she was forced to endure.
It’s like praising a mouse for finishing a maze when there was a snake chasing it the entire way.
@amoshiashwili none. There were a few incidents of customers getting heated in stores, where the employees certainly felt unsafe, but I haven’t heard of any actual physical altercations.
There are plenty of steps that could have been taken way before “nuke the inventory” @feld@mcc@cwebber@futurebird
@mcc I’m told by someone connect to Target’s DEI committee that it happened across the entire company. Over 800 products pulled from shelves and replaced with generic rainbow shit. Initially it was just two items, but then executives got bomb threats and they repealed five years worth of progress within the company, including the “Made by LGBTQ” branding program. You will not find a single product with T or Q in the store, any more.
@doot the way people forget that twitter didn’t have any first party apps until they bought out a third party *macos* app. I swear… the UX that they love was created by the iOS devs that now are building fedi clients.
I’ll take the platform that is driving innovation, not the one locked in on a first party app.
