But if we give you a pension, who will buy back all the stock?
Who’s looking out for the billionaires?
Won’t someone PLEASE think of the billionaires?

It’s only a crime if YOU do it citizen.
Corporate law breaking is just a cost of business.
Now stay in line peon.
- Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store 5 weeks ago:
Sure, and that’s meaningful, but the problem is that many articles are getting major details and entire concepts wrong and publishing statements that are so inaccurate that it feels like bullshit.
Like the advertising counter is nowhere near how it’s been represented over and over in various unknown blogs.
Very much has the feel of a FUD campaign

So THIS is why all the Firefox hit pieces have been surfacing recently….
Suddenly the picture becomes clearer lol.
I’m not surprised, they have been threatening this for awhile, put the timing of the hit pieces, and then this…… answers a lot of questions

You need to spend more time with hardcore tech nerds 😝
You’re right, mostly people don’t call them that, but they do qualify and all the low level systems call them disks
- Comment on Labor board confirms Amazon drivers are employees, in finding hailed by union 2 months ago:
You know, the ones where you tell your subcontractor who to fire, and force them to wear your Amazon logo and not the delivery company logo….
The ones tracked by Amazon’s in-vehicle tracking system, scored by Amazon’s scoring system…
They’re totally separate clearly. See? I claim them to be separate so they’re separate!!!
This has very Micheal Scott “I declare bankruptcy” vibes.

Alright, I’ll bite, what’s the threat?
- Comment on Drag queen confirms it was a parody of Last Supper despite Olympic committee’s claim 3 months ago:
So I actually mostly agree with this.
The lgbt groups seem to have lost their sense of humour a bit, I think it’s mostly because they’re feeling attacked? But I’m not sure.
I think the problem is that it’s becoming harder to tell what’s “good humour” vs an attack. The lines have become very blurry, and there are legitimate attacks happening on their existence (the overturn of roe v Wade has opened the door for many legal challenges to the gay community)
Soooooo……. A significant portion of the populace is still very “anti-gay” to the point of legitimate threat…… so yeah, they’re more sensitive than they used to be. The more real the threat is, the harder it is to decipher the jokes.
I don’t have an answer, but I’m steering clear of many gay jokes that used to be “well meaning” just because I understand why they might think it’s not funny anymore.
It feels like telling “dead baby” jokes to someone that’s had a miscarriage. Dark humour is fine, but context matters.

The world has become decisive enough that I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not, and/or what the message is. Hahaha
- Comment on Drag queen confirms it was a parody of Last Supper despite Olympic committee’s claim 3 months ago:
Yes!
As long as you don’t use slurs, similar to being unable to use religious slurs.
For example, my brother in law and I always joke that he should have married me instead of my sister, since we get along so well.
- Comment on Drag queen confirms it was a parody of Last Supper despite Olympic committee’s claim 3 months ago:
Disrespecting art and religion seems a little different than telling 2 people they can’t get married.
Like one is potentially offensive on an emotional level, the other is trying to tell people how to live their lives. You don’t have to agree if you’d like to stay out of the conversation…… so, they seem kinda different? Don’t they?
Nobody is telling you not to enjoy your religion just because people make fun of it.

I’m very aware of the Facebook shit list, that’s why I’m so shocked.
- Comment on The AI race’s biggest shift yet 3 months ago:
As a user, and great fan of the llama models….
I did not have “Zuckerberg saves us from ai” on my bingo card.
…… nor did I have “musk threatens and then pussies out from fighting Zuckerberg”
Or even “Zuckerberg becomes less despised as an individual”
Like…… have I switched timelines and universes?

Search engines are rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
Google decided a few years ago that quality doesn’t matter (and they’re right, the monopoly they have means that their quality doesn’t matter for a good long while) but over the long term that’s sitting themselves in the foot.
This is just phase 2, installing fences around your market.
Phase 2 is often legal, so I’m waiting for some patent battles or something like that too, but the effect is the same.

It absolutely is.
Slack must have this for compliance issues, or they would be locked out of many industries (like banking and insurance)

That’s just it…… they are building it out properly, their goal is just not what you think it is.
- Comment on Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer service 4 months ago:
The problem is the same as with the telephone answering trees.
If they’re used to help you get where you’re going, then they’re great. But that’s not the best financially motivated decision. Solving your problem costs the companies money. Pissing you off and convincing you that your problem shouldn’t be fixed saves money on support.
So making you go round in circles is the machine doing EXACTLY what they want it to do.

- Comment on Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs 4 months ago:
Not just for 2 years, XP removed it in sp2.
And even when it supported it, many versions wouldn’t let you use it, or would let you “see” it but not use it.
For basically the life of XP.
- Comment on Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs 4 months ago:
I’m not overly worried about a few random Linux distros that did strange things, nor raspberry pi’s. I mean I don’t know why you’d use 32 bit on an 8gb pi anyways, so it shouldn’t affect anyone unless they did something REALLY strange.
For the average user, neither of those scenarios mattered, especially back when the problem was at its peak.
2 years was a long time to wait to use the extra memory that Linux could use out of the box.
I honestly don’t even remember XP having PAE, but if you NEED the validation, sure, Microsoft EVENTUALLY got it.
Except that Microsoft removed it in SP2 LOL!
And all the home use versions of XP still maxed out at 4gb.
There could see the memory but couldn’t use it, oh I’d forgotten that!
Wikipedia was a fun read.
