- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 4 days ago:
Same issue here. My company is freezing any hiring this year. And next year won’t be looking good either. And to add on top of that, most big companies are outsourcing to Eastern Europe short-term because it’s cheaper, or directly to India, as was the case with Amazon Romania that laid off a bunch of its workforce and then hired back a few of them to make workshops for the people in India that are going to pick up their jobs to do the exact same thing.
Also the pay in the sector in Germany sucks ass. It’s really bad
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 3 weeks ago:
Yes, of course the driver is at fault for being an idiot. And sadly, a shitton of drivers are idiots. Ignoring this fact is practically ignoring reality. You shouldn’t be allowed to do false marketing as a company exactly because idiots will fall for it.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 3 weeks ago:
Well, if only Tesla hadn’t invested tens of millions into marketing campaigns trying to paint autopilot as a fully self driving, autonomous system. Everyone knows that 9 out of 10 consumers don’t read the fine print, ever. They buy, and use shit off of vibes. False marketing can and does kill.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 3 weeks ago:
I understand. Thanks a lot for the info.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 3 weeks ago:
People just expect open source devs that do this shit in their free time with absolutely no compensation to bend over for them and do everything they please. The good thing about open source development is that you can just help with the development yourself.

People still don’t care. They’ll still open packaging related issues. And someone will still have to sift through those and close them individually.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 4 weeks ago:
So now it’s not just TERF island but also nazi island.
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 4 weeks ago:
Of course the US will fight tooth and nail to keep its propaganda machines at work all around the globe.
- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 1 month ago:
The Nazis also came to power democratically. The US regime is also hunting down immigrants in a gestapo like fashion democratically. Just because something is a law doesn’t mean anything.

Then you might have a tyrannical government. In that case, definitions should be the least of your concerns.

Haven’t they always been pro genocide?

No, damaging property doesn’t amount to terrorism. What world do you live in?
What most people understand as terrorism is the spreading of terror in the general population. Last time I checked, no one felt terrorized because some planes got spray painted.
- Comment on Germany deems DeepSeek as illegal content after it is unable to address data security concerns, and asks Apple and Google to block it from their app stores 1 month ago:
But American companies harvesting our data and sending it straight into the hands of the Trump administration and his harem of tech whores like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman are a-okay. I’d rather have China harvest my data, because China doesn’t have as much influence over my life here in Germany like the US does.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 1 month ago:
What features would that include that the phone doesn’t already have? I’m currently an iPhone user, but I’m looking to move to a more open source alternative.
- Comment on Do you trust Xi with your 'private' browsing data? Apple and Google app stores still offer China-based VPNs. 2 months ago:
Because China doesn’t have as much influence in Europe as the US does. Besides that, there’s a higher chance of US companies sharing data with European governments than Chinese companies doing so.
- Comment on Do you trust Xi with your 'private' browsing data? Apple and Google app stores still offer China-based VPNs. 2 months ago:
As someone living in Europe I’m more concerned with American companies harvesting my data.
- Comment on Why is lemmy so political?! 2 months ago:
Because the sole nature of Lemmy is political. The whole reason it exists is political. People want to move away from tech oligarchs and take control of their own spaces, of their data. Rotting on Reddit while all your data is being harvested and your interactions get turned into shareholder value is very convenient. Being on Lemmy is inconvenient (although it has become less so over the last year). So if you’re willing to ditch a very convenient platform because of your beliefs, and move to a platform that aligns more closely with said beliefs, then it’s fairly obvious why said platform is so political in nature.

I personally believe the CCP is doing an amazing job. Communism is working wonderfully
- Comment on UK creating ‘murder prediction’ tool to identify people most likely to kill. 4 months ago:
Stop falling for the liberal trap that laws and bureaucracy will somehow magically save you from fascism. It won’t. This is just the start. They’re slowly warming you all up to it until it’s going to be too late. There’s no such thing as “This can’t happen here!”. It definitely can, and it definitely will if you don’t organise and stop it.
- Comment on South Africa and China establish record-breaking 12,900 km ultra-secure quantum satellite link. 5 months ago:
Because you can use one time pad encryption which is theoretically unbreakable. Intercepting the photons used to generate these keys would instantly alter their state thus making them unusable.

- Comment on TikTok workers sue employer over ‘union-busting’ firings 5 months ago:
The workers in question were employed as content moderators by Telus Digital, a Canadian company that provides outsourcing services for TikTok.
How does China have anything to do with this?

As a dirty commie: you’ll get over it someday.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 5 months ago:
This spineless mouth breather just realised there’s a buck to be made by glazing other alt-right mouth breathers. At least he can finally be himself now. Thankfully, his product is just google chrome repackaged and thereby sucks major ass.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 5 months ago:
Terry A. Davis popularised the term. He was a software engineer that ended up with a very bad case of schizophrenia. While unemployed due to his illness, he streamed while working on his own operating system that he built with the intention of “communicating with God”. While streaming, he used to go on these rants about how federal agents are spying on him, calling them “glowies” more often than not along the n word with a very hard r at the end. The term “glowies” has very racist associations.
In other words, you need to be somewhat fairly far down the alt-right pipeline if you actually talk about “glowies”.

Oh, I can’t wait for the sympathy piece on Auschwitz guards to drop any day now. They must have seen some very, very, very difficult things too, poor souls.
