Perhaps a collaboration?

The first consumer smartphone to run lineage out of the box is a bogus claim. I personally owned a whileyfox for some years which I bought only because of that.

There's a photo on the front page...

doesn't seem hard even to install a lot more clocking in devices

The first one might be because companies that make a big deal about being pro diversity have already identified a problem and are trying to combat it by making big deal (not necessarily by doing anything else), whereas normal companies don't need to advertise that because they already have a wide variety of employees.

I'm not sure open sourcing entirely solves the problem, that doesn't show how the company has the software configured. I'd suggest that you need rigorous and continuous independent auditing with results published. But where do you get that these days?

Is this narrative false?

The trouble with waiting to see is that once you've discovered that it is being abused, the system is already in place and hard to remove. Additionally, it's a kind of frog boiling situation where the more such systems you have the more acceptable further such systems and abuses are both in the comment and socially.

Anyone discussing unionisation on company property or systems is probably not as cautious as they should be.

I would second this: look at how they treat their engineers Vs their warehouse staff

Being constantly watched has negative psychological effects, check the old work on "panopticon" prisons.

they need one to contribute changes though

rotting wood does not release much CO2, I think about 30%. Most of it ends up in the soil.

Clear cutting is a bad idea, if you think about circumference = 2piR you can see that the older the tree is the more CO2 it takes up. You need to let trees get as big as possible if you want to be efficient. Additionally big trees support more biodiversity, which afaik is also important in carbon capture.

you'll be glad to know that leaving wood to rot on the ground only releases about 30% of the carbon, and allows for further biodiversity to live that might absorb further carbon. The fact is the natural world has mechanisms for this, we just need to let them work: stop clearing dead wood for example.

yes but this is the guy who didn't think he needs to give up his private jet, so although I'm sure he's will intentioned I'll not accept his pronouncements about the environment at face value, I'll check elsewhere first.

The UK government has tried to ban encryption about 3 times over the years to my memory, they're quite authoritarian when it comes to tech and not very tech literate. It's a problem.

A jug filter is much bigger and uses a different mechanism, a kettle filter is just a mesh to anything bigger than a large grain of sand in the kettle.

Spoken like a person with a good income. The principal is fine, but the definition of expensive varies by person and product.

curious if that also applies to your phone

"I can code an API, yes."

I've had the opposite, for example adding my boss to my linked in profile & updating just before pay negotiations has worked nicely for me. I've seen friends/colleagues go to their boss with a job offer and say I don't want to leave but with this rise I'm struggling to justify staying, and it's worked fine. I'm not in the US however.

rules are made to be broken as they say

I'm off the opinion that transporting is pointless from a selfish point of view: your duplicate will get to Jupiter or wherever, and think they're you, but your consciousness will stop so you will never get to experience it. I don't know what experiment you could do to prove this either way.

Add to that in my current job, reading confluence, trying to work out if the page is up to date, and asking other people. So lots of product/our specific legacy code knowledge is needed which can't be found on the internet.
