Just like with everything else that people make into a lifestyle or part of their identity. Most are cool, but there’s always a vocal minority of dillweeds that take it way too seriously or use it to judge others that aren’t part of their pack.

- Comment on I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. 6 months ago:
Salinger is a classic example of this. One of the most celebrated authors of all time. He really only wrote one full novel and then essentially disappeared from public view. Despite this I don’t think anyone would consider him a failed writer by any definition
- Comment on Tech brands are forcing AI into your gadgets—whether you asked for it or not 6 months ago:
At the time the cloud stuff was first being talked about, I worked a a large tech company (one of the top 10 largest). I remember being told by managers and above how important it was and how we should start thinking about how to integrate it into every facet of our products and workplace. The CEO railed on this as well, tying KPIs to it at all levels of the business. This company makes all kinds products in the realm of hardware and software. Everyone went absolutely apeshit integrating everywhere, including A LOT of places it didn’t belong

Are you complaining because the video was posted here or because it was made in the first place? Maybe this community doesn’t need it, but there are a lot of people out there with not much awareness of what’s happening in this realm.

Please just stop posting. I have you tagged because I’ve noticed a consistent trend of bad/trolly takes from you. Just stop. If you’re expressing your genuine opinions, that’s incredibly sad. If you’re just being an asshole, then fuck off

Wow. No kidding. I lost a very close friend who got obsessed with the “get rich quick” aspect of crypto, and these losers sound just like he did. Granted, there were a multitude of other reasons I stopped talking to him, but holy fuck

- Comment on X runs 'timeline takeover' ad promoting anti-trans film 1 year ago:
The problem is, it’ll take forever to die. Just like Facebook. Most of the people who are aware, or even care about these kinds of problems are a small slice of the user base. Most will never hear about it because they don’t give a shit
