- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
I’m sure there will be ways around it. Mods can automod-delete every comment, change the rules of the sub to only allow posts of nonsense, or nit moderate at all.
The main problem is that protests don’t succeed at reddit because people like moderating for free for some reason. Strangely Reddit has more leverage over mods than mods have over reddit.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 1 month ago:
yeah, the only problem is that this results in the best talent leaving, you’re stuck with people who have nowhere else to go. it’s one of those short-term profits kinda things, which is why Wall St loves it so much.
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 months ago:
That’s stupid.
The main problem with lemmy now is adoption, there isn’t a critical mass of users yet.
When users see the stats without lemmy.world, they’ll be discouraged from joining. Add to that the issues with federation and the few who join will leave because of the steep learning curve.
Way to alienate potential users.
- Comment on Peloton adds $95 activation fee for used equipment 2 months ago:
I hope this makes less people buy used Pelotons which in turn makes Pelotons less desirable.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 2 months ago:
This just means they’re a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 2 months ago:
Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn’t work as a loss leader because it’s so different from all other products.
- Comment on Logitech’s Subscription Mouse Idea Pulled Back After Backlash 2 months ago:
at this rate, in 20 years some asshole capitalist will figure out how to monetize air as a subscription service and we’ll all be living in a true dystopia
- Comment on Return-to-office mandates hurt employee retention, productivity, survey says 3 months ago:
Yeah everyone already knows this, execs aren’t dumb, they just wanted to use it to quietly lay off people.

More government intervention in markets, because that’s what Republicans stand f- oh wait, er…
- Comment on Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google 3 months ago:
shadowbanning is a totally different issue that’s existed for a long time though.
- Comment on Firefox CTO Responds On Collecting User Advertisement Data 3 months ago:
-
Rather than fighting against ad-tech , they’re caving. If someone comes into your house to punch you and rob you everyday, do you say “let’s find a solution that we’re both happy with, how about you rob me and don’t punch me?”
-
We could have argued about how privacy-protecting this is, and whether it will actually prevent further intrusive tracking. Perhaps I might be persuaded to keep it. But the fact that I wasn’t informed about being opted in when upgrading, and the fact that the CTO is doubling down on “users are too stupid to understand this”, means they’ve lost any trust and/or willingness for me to listen to them. Turning this off for good.

- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
that’s fine for a small discord group but it doesn’t scale. you can’t be that active in moderating millions of conversations.
downvotes (and hiding downvoted comments) is a community-driven way of signaling unacceptable behavior. it largely works, except in echo chambers.

Should companies work on improving access to services and making sure paying consumers get a better experience?
Nah, let’s spend more money paying lawyers to go after a few people, that’ll show em.

i mean, my phrasing sounded contradictory but the thought process is logical lol
- Comment on Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds 5 months ago:
Apparently smaller tech firms are loving office mandates, because it allows them to hire talent that they normally would not have access to at their budget.

didn’t phrase that well, what I meant was when I have a conversation on lemmy I don’t want to respond to a beehaw post that less than half the lemmy population can see.

Beehaw has pretty good conversation. I enjoy my discussions on their communities. It also has an extremely low bar for defederation – it’s defederated with even lemmy.world. I don’t like that, would not use that as my home instance.
Haha that’s an instance I haven’t heard about in a while… I personally blocked it because I want to talk to everyone on lemmy, not just half the population, and they’ve defederated from the largest instances.
And i guess that’s the good thing about the lemmyverse - you decide what level of control you want.

I don’t understand your logic. I could just as easily change your text to say
Celsius was designed to make creating thermometers easier. You pop your new thermometer into some ice water, call that 0, pop it in boiling water, call that 100, and then you can just keep dividing the space between them in half until you get 100 degrees.
