For me the issue isn't with the killing/eating of animals. Rather, it's how they are treated during their lifetime by the meat industry - which is essentially optimizing for the minimum conditions that can still provide meat that can be sold legally. I'm not a vegan by the way, but I can appreciate the moral case vegans make.
If you're an engineer capable of holding a $440k/year job then you should care where your talent goes and who benefits from it. There are plenty of places that will pay you a good salary where the boss isn't trying to badly play at world domination.

Ah, yes. Google? Meta? Amazon? Microsoft? Hahaha. You're right, they aren't doing it in the open, and some certainly aren't doing a bad job about it. But they are all playing at world domination.
The competitor would be the efficiency cores on the M-series chips. I don’t know how well they compare though. Apple doesn’t have any skus with only efficiency cores afaik. If they did it would be something like the Apple Watch, but since arm has had big.LITTLE architecture for many years there was no need to have chips with only efficiency cores to achieve efficiency.
This would make for a great blog post: top 10 things that ruined the internet. I nominate generative AI for the version of this post two years from now.
Huh, I think I agree. Not only are the banners slow, obnoxious, have a tendency to being manipulative and are different for every website, a web developer can easily ignore the user's choice and track them anyway. Apple made a big leap with the “ask app not to track” and I think browsers should have this as well. If only to get rid of those infernal banners.
I've been in Europe for almost 2 months now and started seeing the GDPR banners a lot more often. I've yet to feel like I'm missing anything by either clicking reject all, or by avoiding the site if I can't reject all non-required cookies in a few clicks.
