"We also apologise to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah for how the decision was represented and reiterate this is not about identity or dissent but rather a continuing rapid shift in the national discourse around the breadth of freedom of expression in our nation following Australia's worst terror attack in history."
I don’t think it’s the apology that they think it is. Heavily paraphrasing: “it’s not about who you are or what you’ve done personally. It’s about your heritage and the dirty bloodline that represents after bad actors committed an atrocity.”
Remember how mad the Libs wanted everyone to be when AusPost C-suite got luxury watches as gifts? They wanted to burn the whole of AusPost to the ground over it and yet (from memory) AusPost is actually quite profitable and those executives are relatively low-paid for their positions.
I guess my point is; even though C-suite usually suck, AusPost even manages to do that right. It’s a very well run public service. And the Libs still want to destroy it.
Well, first I would want to try to help everybody understand that the perception may not be exactly correct, at least from our point of view. So I would never want to tell someone what to think or that they're wrong, but our viewpoint is that we are trying to help consumers around the world. We're just doing it through different channels. We still have a very sizable business in the client and mobile markets. We are also, of course, servicing our data center customers.
And what's going on right now is that the TAM and data center is growing just absolutely tremendously. And we want to make sure that, as a company, we help fulfill that TAM as well.
What a moron. The way I see it they may as well be transparent instead of trying to gaslight people into “this is for your own good”. Probably get less backlash from just being straightforward.
iPhone users in particular really hate change. Every time Apple makes any large change in software or hardware design there’s a lot of pushback. Part of the appeal of Apple for a lot of their users is getting a product and it operates the same as the old one that they’ve always been used to.
I’m not saying whether or not it’s justified but it’s worth keeping in mind there were a lot of complaints when the last iOS design launched, when the home button was removed, when the lock button shifted to the side, (famously) when the 3.5mm jack was removed. The list goes on.
Hi there! You seem to be new to Lemmy. Please wait here, someone will be along shortly to check on your Linux distro choice and tell you that you joined the wrong instance. Have a great day!
/s for everything except have a great day, which you should have absolutely still have!
“I’m innocent of this arson,” he said over the video link during his court appearance.
The fact that he narrowed it down to this arson is pretty funny to me. Does sound like less of a targeted attack and more of general rampage since he committed a number of crimes aside from this.
That’s it! That’s the last straw! I’m pulling all of my LMY (Lemmy) stocks from the market and cancelling all advertising deals with Tim Lemmy because your comment contained a no-no word.
I hope you’re happy. /s
But for real, fuck corporate self censorship bullshit right in the c-suite bungholeo.
Ah, interesting! Learn someping everyday.
