2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Clipping a way Jon Stewart and now editing speeches. WTF is going on.

Apple is about making money. If honesty and integrity do not increase profits, they will be discarded.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 72 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Which is unbearable because Apple loves to pretend they care about issues

They all do until it affects profits.

Corporations are legal people but they are all literal psychopaths. They will do or say anything to keep the profits rolling and the real humans mean nothing to them.

We are nothing but a means to an end and that end is profits.

We created runaway AI decades ago. No computers needed.

Crucial addition, there's no level of profit or savings (accumulated profit) that's enough. If margins or units can be increased, they will be increased, yielding higher profit.

Yep. He references issues both in the past and present that tie directly into this film they're promoting, yet they censored all this out while pretending like they give a shit about these causes because they put it into a for-profit movie they created.

Looking like they care about "privacy" and "issues" is purely accidental.

It's Apple, did anyone expect integrity?
