Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments… but another bad guy worth hating is
Hewlett Packard.

“Hey, you need to have our proprietary ink cartrige in your HP inkjet printer plus scanner to print AND to scan as well. The scanner won’t work when you are out of ink”
Dunno why this got downvoted, it’s a great question:
Nokia 3310 - legendary, got stolen
Moto Timeport 7382i
Sony CMD J70 - dial operation menu
Sony Ericsson T610 - joystick got fluff jammed.
LG Viewty - mediocre iPhone imitation but great slow motion vids 120fps
Blackberry Curve 8520 - batteries heat and swell when browsing!All the apps were shit, and no games. … but the physical qwerty keyboard was divine though - fastest I have ever typed AND accurately!
iPhone 4S - solid
Samsung (not sure which) too small
Moto G7 Power - 4 years still sweet.
Gotta love old Firefox on any platform, never lets me down
Let’s boycott the gaming company that we disagree with! Also I guess that company that’s using literal child slavery for their chocolate. Quite the disconnect here, I don’t think the people making Mario games deserve the same punishment as the people buying up all of the housing market because they can in order to rent out said houses to the same people who were originally trying to buy them
Right? While entire families sleep outside, let’s make a corporation whose sole purpose is to buy up all the cheap homes to make Air BnBs out of them. Totally the same thing.

You mean the ones promoting gambling mechanics to children? Not as bad as the chocolate industry I agree but still willing to kill their audience if it means more returns
There’s a few that fill non critical roles, but generally once you’re publicly trade, things go to shit chasing the quartiles. You can’t simple exist as steady state and cater to your employees and customers while living slightly more then modestly.
Not really but I’ve watched a few of their videos and they generally seem like nice people they donate monthly to OSS projects and they seem to be operating at a loss.
I think as louis rossman said in his video its generally for the best although I would like for Rossmans software to be fully open sourced it’s not like he doesn’t have his reasons for not fully open sourcing his software he doesn’t want his software to be modified for illicit gains and used to spread malware on storefronts which I think is a good enough reason for not open sourcing his software although there are probably some better ways of handling this situation
Some graffiti is, I think, traditional at this point and a good mural can do wonders to humanize it. I have a feeling that patterns are not actually going to improve it though. The problem is often the form rather than what the material looks like. You could paint it to look like a row of thatched cottages but that would to me be even more depressing.
You are also then committed to repainting it regularly or it’s going to quickly look even worse than when you started.
Vines in my opinion are great dicore maybe that’s because I’m a sucker for abandoned building vibes idk what it is that makes me love looking at abandoned buildings it’s one of the reasons I love portal 2’s abandoned sci Fi look if I wasn’t for the high heights and turrets I would love to explore abandoned apeture
Graffiti is vandalism. It is not traditional, and it’s not art. It’s a crime; there is no exception unless it’s done on private property with permission from the property owner.
Imagine someone buys the Mona Lisa and declares that its not art and da Vinci grafittied their privately owned piece of canvas. Artists around the globe in shambles.
You’re right, but you have to draw the line somewhere. If someone decides to light a building on fire and call it “performance art,” nobody considers it anything but a crime. If someone spray-paints a vulgarity on the side of a school, few would call that “art,” but a mural on the side of a concrete wall is “street art.” The subject matter and the quality of the painting doesn’t make the determination between art and vandalism; it’s just vandalism.
That said, yes, their tendency towards large unbroken planes of material make them prime candidates for murals, and you see a lot of that in places like Chicago that had a big Brutalist phase.
I feel like most brutalist buildings are designed by a committee. They want the building to look like it provided maximal value for money, so they try to avoid looking good.
Not sure if you’re making a clever joke, or if you don’t know that brutalism is defined by using steel and concrete in large blocks. Might be a mega “woosh” on my part though haha
