Thank you, I had no idea the first phone emoji characters were a third party add-on. That explains how they got there, since Apple is pretty notorious for not including people shaped things in their art.
The original emojis were white before the yellow and darker tones were added in 2015. Look up Katrina Parrott for the backstory. In short, before yellow was the default, White was the only option, and that’s kinda racist, and was only 9 years ago.
Yellow was simply a neutral addition to emojis that matched well with the existing yellow smiley face (which that French asshole keeps charging people for).
Thanks for questioning your assumptions. Further reading if you’re interested:

He’s been a week away from shutting down for… a dozen years?
Release the Madonna-Will-Smith cut, you cowards!
Crackitalism is a serious drug Jimmy, it’s deadly serious.
Economists: “WONTFIX: Working as designed.”
Oh cool, somebody signed up, they have more supporters today.
That is (was) DMOZ: the Mozilla Directory of websites, now curlie.org, after AOL shut it down in 2017.
They have a Patreon if you want to help them maintain it.

The word you’re looking for is “Plutocracy,” and it has a long history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutocracy
It’s the carcinisation of programming languages. Everything evolves into JavaScript.
Though let’s be real, even JavaScript evolves into Lisp.
That used to be the dream: corps hired you to work on the thing they needed that you were good at. Now, though, they just want everything for free and just acquihire to reassign you to whatever makes more money.
I’m still mad he didn’t use the size of the number to tell the system which block to read first. I feel like that would be a great use of division or maybe modulus?
You’re right, I got the direction of acquisition backwards, I’d thought IBM acquired Lenovo, not the other way around, my apologies. My vote is for IBM then.
Also the whole enabling genocide for money thing:

ETA: IBM, not Lenovo, wrong company.
I’ll consider taking them off the list after they start making food product they can legally be considered bread in Europe again.

Nah, it’s a repost from late 2007.
Sorry, I mean a repeat of late 2007, the fourth or fifth “once in a lifetime economic crisis” for millennials that will somehow magically end with billionaires owning an even larger percentage of the GDP.
“How could this possibly happen, again, again, again, again,” will cry the
