- Comment on Reddit locks down its public data in new content policy, says use now requires a contract 1 month ago:
Remember when reddit used to have great AMAs to look forward to? Or when askreddit wasn’t all sex questions from 13 year old kids? Or when wtf was actually wtf content? Ah the good old days.

That’s part of the enshitifcation process.
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 1 month ago:
Ceo pay is advertised and used against each other to get top dollar. Lowers like us have out pay hidden so companies can low ball without us knowing. That’s what needs to change. It should be law to be advertised pay rate so the lowballers get exposed and no one applies, forcing pay to go up.
- Comment on Capitalists hate competition, especially when it comes to wages 1 month ago:
My current job, I asked what the pay was, they said 'you tell us what it should pay".
So I asked what the range was, and they said “thats not how this works, you tell us what you want” so I said a highlight number for me at the time. They’re like “ok, that works”.
Turns out I make 40% less than all my co workers because I didn’t know what the range was commonly for this role. Theor game let me lowball myself. It’s completely BS.
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 1 month ago:
This always comes down to the fact that labor is competitive. Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year? Competition drives the prices of labor down. Maybe there needs to be better regulation for labor competition like corporations enjoy.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 1 month ago:
These products male no sense on the age of smart phones. They will end up just being an app we download or free features of our phones at some point.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 months ago:
Are you telling me the swotch 2 is literally the same and switch 2 games will be switch compatible 1?
Or will they simply release switch games for both consoles, like ps4 and ps5 releases?
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 months ago:
Yep, just like the ps5 was just an upgrade and plays all ps4 games.
- Comment on FCC fines big three carriers $196M for selling users’ real-time location data 2 months ago:
Just the cost of doing business. I bet they made more on the sale.
- Comment on Who tf 2 months ago:
Or this version
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 months ago:
I personally would by a ps6 in a heartbeat, and likely the switch 2. I’ve bought an Xbox one which I sold after the dust on it got too much, and a series x whoch also never gets turned on. 2 gen burns in a row is enough for me to exclude it from my console purchase next gen.
- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 2 months ago:
I didn’t open the video. Was it one of those videos that talk in circles about what they’re “going” to talk about in the video, then they keep saying it in different ways?
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 2 months ago:
You could try a shield instead. It doesn’t push ads that way.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 2 months ago:
Roku is a terrible product. It’s cheap, and they have full control over every part of it and aren’t afraid to exploit it to users’ detriment. Like the recent user agreement changes that bricked TVs until you agreed.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 2 months ago:
Again, it’s not about data being collected. It is about the algorithm that let’s them control what users see in their feeds.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 2 months ago:
Lemmy users are just going to believe whatever they want to believe, instead of actually checking the facts.
It’s 100% about privacy. Data collection, and algorithm manipulation to sway what users see in the interest of the Cinese government. If users think Russian interference is a problem, we’ll this amounts to the same thing.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
Hot take approved
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
They do, and I’d love to see these laws expanded to include a ban against all algorithm manipulation, but coning from external sources is much more dangerous, even if local source manipulation is also dangerous.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
Thos has nothing to do with free speech. And yes, 90% of the people out there, including kids, log into tiktok and get a hone page for whatever content China wants to sling, of that’s to turn group A more right and group B more left, or to push their own agendas. People just don’t look at thongs objectively and tend to follow what they see. This is a security risk for the entire country.
It’s not stifling free speech, and blocking content for the sake of blocking content that they’re talking about here. Is it moral? Yes.
- Comment on Tesla profits nosedive as more job cuts announced 2 months ago:
And if it’s tanking, Musk is responsible and shouldn’t be paid any bonus because he failed them.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
Agreed. People only hear/read what they want to read, and often tines its flamboyant claims that are not factual. :shrug:
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
Can’t blame them. Late stage capitalism is causing a lot of people a lot of pain while a few get super rich from it.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
Not sure what you know, but here’s the head of the FBIs statement about why.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
The issue is that China controls the algorithm for what users see. This gives them the ability to manipulate users by showing specific content to sway their opinion on things. This is specifically about China’s ability to manipulate US citizens.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
Yea, it’s not as bad as this thread is trying to make it out to be.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
The problem isn’t actually just that China takes our data, it’s that they control the algorithm on tiktok for what users see, thereby giving them the ability to manipulate the public.
- Comment on YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking 2 months ago:
Youtube is a fantastic learning tool for diy, how to vids, reviews, education, etc. The lost goes on, and yea it has crap too, but there’s so much use for it in every day life also. Brushing it off would be literally like saying “dlstay away from books, there’s so many other thongs you could be looking at”.

I enjoyed it, glad to see season 2.
- Comment on Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2 2 months ago:
How could you not like the Ghoul? I can’t follow your logic on the story, it’s flowed fine and had coherence across the season with maybe the exception of episode 6 which was almost a bottle episode.
