Geez, this place is a mess…

Me checking my post be like:

Ironically though, it seems I now know out what’s going on: lots of individual users holding grievances against each other or staff as the resut of struggle sessions or mod actions.

Hi, I read some of the resources that were linked in the replies. I was taken aback by your claims at first and the medical journal article in particular gave a good explanation of the points about weight loss and ties to racism you made.

I stand on the opposite end of the spectrum: I’m naturally thin, work out and basically follow intuitive eating without realising it. So I felt a little awkward witnessing the mess down there, because I know that I have this privilege, that I still have prejudices inherited from my social upbringing and that biology is messy and often counterintuitive.

I probably will get things wrong from time to time, but I’ll try my best not to, and to respond well to criticism if I do.

I guess what I want to say is thank you for making the post.

If I thought like one of those companies I would say:

• Making room for a bigger battery, bigger cameras and stuff like a wireless charging coil that reliably gets good reviews,
• Not enough people using them, so “a sacrifice I’m willing to make” to lower costs of production and reducing phone variants,
• Declaring those features outdated and deciding that now is the time to force people to “upgrade” to built-in storage or cloud services,
• Upselling built-in storage and wireless devices, establishing a walled garden and creating a more steady source of revenue,
• Dumb shit like wanting the sides to be as seamless as possible

I find it ironic that AES gets lampooned for its lack of variety in consumer goods, meanwhile corporations are continuously killing off their more niche variants and reducing consumer choice.

On 21 September 2023, Telia, DNA, and Elisa, Finland’s major mobile carriers, halted the sale of Xiaomi Technology products due to the company’s ongoing business activities in Russia. This decision reflects the company’s commitment to maintaining its operations in Russia despite the Ukraine invasion.
