Am enjoying it more than ever almost 20 years in.

I guess that might become a battleground for them to kill labor rights.

Are federal workers unionized in the US? I see the article says some are.

I didn’t read beyond the title, but I did comment.

Yes I do and LFP has been manufactured and integrated at scale for a very long time.

How’s the density compared to LFP?

LFP is not new. It’s been in cars since Fisker integrated A123’s batteries. CATL and other manufacturers have been churning out LFP in volume for over a decade now.

Well technically Google owns the SoC and its drivers and firmware so they could support it for as long as they support the subsequent Tensors. The 3 years of major updates spec was always arbitrary.

Thank you 🙏

This if true is concerning.

I don’t buy that.

There’s plenty of disposable crap manufactured outside of China including the US. I’m pretty sure if China along with all cheap labor destinations disappeared in cloud or smoke tomorrow, the US multinationals who made their shit there would invest in equipment to make it in the US with less labor and lower the environmental standards to do it, perhaps with the help of internment camped, undocumented immigrant labor. The southern right-to-work, deregulationist states already serve this purpose. Ford is building their new factories in Kentucky, not Michigan.

Another point against is that a lot less disposable crap is consumed in the EU which has just as much access to the China’s manufacturing base.

And so I’m pretty sure this problem isn’t a China problem but a US problem. A systemic one, driven by the incessant search for profit maximization and growth.

What makes you think VC won’t have another product in the pipeline to take over from most users exiting BlueSky? Just like they had BS ready to scoop up most of the Xodus.

Not a critique really, the Fediverse will still be there and will get some people every time.

The .world instance is very well funded - they take more money than they spend. Not profit since they’re a nonprofit, they save it as well as give to others. Meanwhile the Lemmy developers still don’t have proper full time funding. This information is public. If I were you I’d subscribe to fund the developers for now. Lemmy.ca is also well funded.

Strictly speaking of productivity without justifying Trump’s plan in any way - labor shortage increases productivity. Cheap labor decreases productivity. Expensive labor forces capitalists to invest in new equipment and training to be able to produce the same output with fewer labor hours. Simple example - fastening the same number of bolts using manual screwdrivers in more hands vs electric screwdrivers in fewer hands.

Outside of that, removing a significant portion of the population at any one time would be significantly disruptive in many regards.

He’s not the I in CHWTIA for no reason.

Why though?

Perhaps the executive class is paying Trudeau, or is promising post-political private sector positions.

I think these folks should do what the CUPE workers did in Ontario in the face of back-to-work legislation in 2023 - ignore it and go on strike. Perhaps they’re waiting for the lawsuit to resolve whether the gov’t has the power to do what it does first. If they keep complying with the gov’t actions long term, the unions will lose more of their power.

“I just want you to think about what the alternative was,” said Abbas, referring to the current administration’s handling of Israel’s war in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon. He added, “What did you expect from myself or many members of the community to do?”

I see Abbas is still in the denial stage.
