  Ethical options?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Problems can be ongoing or increase in severity. Just because it’s been an issue for a while doesn’t mean it’s too late for change.

  Also, some people don’t have the luxury to choose an ethical employer (if they even exist).

  I’d say pedophilia is a tad more than just a “quirk”.

  Who also have absolutely ZERO moral compass. Like literally don’t give two shits if they’re coding a piece of software going into a baby killing machines.

  We all have our weaknesses and faults. No need to dismiss every relationship due to imperfections.

  I’m sure if you polled the average American they would not agree that “America is better than the rest of the world “. Maybe 20-30 years ago that might have been true.

  Seriously. Anna archives, libby. There are so many open source projects out there for the ereader community

  It’s a good piece of hardware. I do the same thing. Although I recently got a Kobo and I gotta say that I do prefer the kobo slightly better. Kindle is still good shit though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s going to remove all individuality and turn us into a homogeneous jelly-like society. We all think exactly the same since AI “smoothes out” the edges of extreme thinking.

  It’s really no more difficult than filling out a job application or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s why my less “tech savvy” friends won’t join. They don’t understand what federation is, and No they don’t want to take 2 minutes to learn.

  It’s annoying, but it’s reality. People don’t understand the whole different servers thing, federation, and how to pick one.

  I realize marketing isn’t a strong suit (nor should it be), but I’m proposing two solutions (well maybe not solutions, but something to help):

  • A quick animated video showing the benefits of Lemmy and how this all works (if it hasn’t already been done yet)

  • A service that basically simplifies and centralizes the signup process to one screen. During server selection, users can see the most populated servers and click on them to learn the specific rules for the server, etc.

  Idk, maybe we already have all this…or this is just complicating the issue. Or maybe we only want people willing to take 2 minutes to learn about how it all works. Tbh that’s a pretty good natural filter for the types of users I want to be interacting and discussing with.

  If you happen to live in Massachusetts, US, Uber drivers are now making minimum $32/hr. This is of course without subtracting gas, wear and tear, psychotherapy for having to deal with passengers, etc. … but still.

  Yes please support annas-archive!! It is a wonderful project. I can essentially get an epub file for any book (including banned books) I want. They have so much more than that too.

  Folks. Please stop. We’re on the same team here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people in positions of privilege can recognize their status, and, in my opinion, have a duty to do more (whether it’s donate to orgs fighting this, or donate time if able to be more flexible with their time and work commitments, etc. ).

  There will be people who will be able to take greater risk because they are privileged. There are less financially secure individuals who won’t be able to take as much risk. That’s OK! We don’t need to turn this into a dick waving contest of “who is doing more”

  What we don’t need is this bickering amongst ourselves. We’re all proletariat. Some proletariat will have more privilege. And getting the less privileged working class to attack the slightly more privileged/wealthy wage slav- I mean “workers”- is EXACTLY what they want!

  DO NOT give the bourgeoisie what they want, c’mon now.
