      To me I’m most supprised on this one, I mean, wasn’t the whole point of the nothing to be a phone that doesn’t distract you as much, lets you stay in the moment.

      what the hell kind of partnership is this. This is as dumb as say an electric vehicle company partnering up with climate change deniers

          Well yes or nazi’s, but for the most part having a stance on Nazi-ism wasn’t a driving factor for many to purchase EV’s. People bought EV’s specifically because that’s one of the main advantages of an EV, is they were expected to be better for the environment.

          Why I point that out in the nothing phone. It’s selling point was the glyphs that let you roughly know what messages were coming in on your phone while it is face down. So in short you could set your phone down and know if your wife was texting you with an emergency, while not hearing a ping and turning away from your friends to see that you have enough energy for candy-crush. IE literally the exact opposite of facebooks marketing

          which you know is literally the opposite of facebooks marketing plan.

        Isn’t that one of the big problems?

        Reputation doesn’t mean shit.

        Everyone knows Meta is terrible. Everyone knows Alphabet’s and Google is terrible. Everyone knows fucking Disney is terrible. Everyone knows that the fucking Republican Party is terrible. Everyone knows that the Democratic Party is terrible.

        Everyone knows all of this shit is terrible, and nobody stops giving them money.
