I'm not confident this won't fall flat. Political comedy is just not the same anymore. I don't really have the patience for comedians getting cheeky jabs in while lacking a full throated condemnation of the abuses that people in power get away with. Willing to be proven wrong though.

Thread: YouTuber Linus breaks his iMac Pro, wants it to be repaired but Apple refuses
Okay both bad and good analogy on my part because, yes, automobile manufacturers are going up against very similar right to repair efforts at the same time. That said, Apple can't just front that it's like a luxury brand car despite how they market their products as such. These are work stations, and if you're a producer that works with Final Cut or an Xcode developer, you need to have your machines be serviceable. This isn't the same as totaling a Bugatti.

Thread: YouTuber Linus breaks his iMac Pro, wants it to be repaired but Apple refuses
My head was swimming a little bit at the price comparisons but I'd like to try to play devil's advocate. When it comes to the "repair cost may be more than the unit itself" I wonder if it's possible with the amount of red tape that Apple has set up for itself and it's partners, that all the increased procedures that it did actually drive up the price to repair beyond the cost of a new unit. Apple's still in the wrong here and I hope they get taken to task with Right to Repair laws.

She's going to be fine after this because unlike hurt gamer feelings, plenty of devs are throwing their weight behind her because ArenaNet fucked up.

Hint: No one is. The fact that "polite nice boy" is accidentally a product of a society that values men more than women is really not the biggest issue here. What kicked this off is emblematic of how female devs are treated. Believe me when I say that some mild pushback on Price's part is not an attack on Deroir and instead what the exchange represents. uhh... do you wanna date this guy or something?

People are focusing way too much on Deroir and acting like Price was in a long twitter feud with him. Price told him to buzz off and then went on to talk about what his reply was emblematic of. Ironically it's what most of the issue is around this discussion is about: get it through your head gamers, not everything is about you and not everything needs your input.

What she did was not worth firing over. They caved to mob pressure. If she had set fire to the office we wouldn't be talking about this. Well I guess we would, but not for the same reasons.

That's an oversimplification of the platform and the situation. Just because you can reply to something doesn't mean it's always appropriate or wanted. Twitter users and gamers are dense when it comes to social intelligence and etiquette. Telling someone to buzz off when they've overreached is not a valid reason to get fired.
