  Probably the only good billionaires are the ones who would donate most of their wealth and not tell to brag about it. The founder of Duty Free shopping, [Chuck Feeney, is one of the good ones who donated 99% of his wealth] ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Feeney?wprov=sfla1) and was left with $2 million by the time he died. He started to secretly donate most of his wealth at the peak of his career. His secret philanthropy was only found out after he had to disclose his finances during a lawsuit.

  The good billionaires, however few or if there are many, would donate most of their wealth and not brag about it; or not try to announce they would do so but drag their feet, unlike Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

  Three downvotes on your comment and there is one commenter is either a troll or a fascist. I wasn’t expecting some fascists to rear their ugly head in Lemmy lol.

  A wild fascist appears on Lemmy wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clueless sports fans⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I noticed that people who are highly opinionated on anything about culture wars seem less vocal on criticising the wealth transfer to the wealthy, and they are not even rich. Kinda says a lot what they value more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My colleague is real nice and all, but exactly why she gives iPad/phone to her toddler is exactly for the reason you mentioned. A lot of parents are lazy. And we wonder why the younger generation is turning right, because techno-fascists know how glued we are now to digital devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨STRAIGHT 2 JAIL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re all complaining about the minutest detail, but if you watch the 1965 film Battle of the Bulge, you’d have aneurism. A battle famously occured in Europe during one of the coldest snowy winter, and the finale was filmed on dry semi-arid landscape. The Allies used M4 Sherman tanks in larger numbers, but the film used M24 Chaffees as if they were more ubiquitous. You don’t need to be nerd on WWII but having the basic knowledge of conflict would make one cringe of the film’s deliberate errors. Ridley Scott’s Napoleon was somehow more tolerable and given a pass because Scott never intended the film to be taken aa seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a study that showed workers don’t mind commuting so long as the route is full of greenery and nature. That explains a lot because in my hometown, I was happy enough to commute in public transport and people are nice enough that you can chat with them. Then I moved to a bigger city, which is a concrete jungle. I hate the commute. And mind you, the public transport in my home town is about ten to twenty minutes more depending on the traffic, but I didn’t mind for some reason. Then, after moving to a bigger city, travelling only for one hour feels like a long trek.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution: 🖕⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In all seriousness, human elderlies are actually evolutionary anomaly, because if Darwinian tenet of “survival of the fittest” applies 100% of the time, they would not be the norm. But the fact that old people are prevalent in human society is the proof that we are compassionate and loving creatures that transcend cold evolutionary programming. We care for others and the vulnerable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use DuckDuckGo. I use its AI features mainly for stock projections and to search for information on company earnings release. Because when I try to search for earnings schedule for myself, I get conflicting information. DDG AI is actually pretty useful to read troves of webpages and find the relevant information for me in that regard.

  When I was a kid and Rock Hudson got AIDS the world was stunned to find out he was gay. Talk about in the deep closet!

  That is news to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤡 We've all been played for fools. 🤡⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With so many things going on in life outside of work and academics, there is only so much you could research and pay attention to to fully know what you could get into. Only practical experience will tell you if it’s worth it. As they say, experience is the best teacher. And even then, don’t regret and blame yourself. You made the decision based on what was the best available information at the time. I tell this to any people who tend to be anxious about decisions.

  Not entirely surprising if true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else guilty of this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are people who grew up with game but are well rounded and sociable. It depends entirely on the person and the type of environment they grew up in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why LLMs can't really build software⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t work in IT, but I do know you need creativity to work in the industry, something which the current LLM/AI doesn’t possess.

  Linguists also dismiss LLMs in similar vein because LLMs can’t grasp context. It is always funny to be sarcastic and ironic on an LLM.

  Soft skills and culture are what that the current iteration of LLMs lack. However, I do think there is still huge potential for AI development in dacades to come, but I want this AI bubble to burst as “in your face” to companies.

  My only issue with Libre Office is that they are not available on mobile phones. I want to use spread sheets to make calculate and make projections on my finances if I can’t use my computer at a given moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No shit. Unless the Internet becomes democratised and publicly funded like other media in other countries like the BBC or France24, social media will always be toxic. They thrive in provocations and there are studies to prove it, and social media moguls know this. Hell, there are people who make a living triggering people to gain attention and maintain engagement, which leads to advertising revenue and promotions.

  As long as profit motive exists, the social media as we know it can never truly be fixed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This has happened to me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am in Europe so I can’t relate. They screw us over by raising the wages tied to inflation, and yet we still don’t have enough at the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It might be more difficult to dismantle US fascism because it is oligarchic technofascism, than old school fascism. However, if there is one thing that is proven, is that eventually people rise up. Time and time again, those who come to power become too corrupt to be palatable. This has been observed since Plato’s time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what they are doing. I am amazed that no one from outside has yet pointed finger and warned yet of Heritage Foundation’s attempt to influence Europe. They want to see the world burn, literally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even though I have reservations about US-style DEI initiatives (I’d much prefer France’s way of not recording ethnicity, race, religion etc), I do find Trump admin’s policies to be beyond absurd and stupid of just nuking everything.

  The good news though is that fascists typically shoot themselves on the foot and end up destroying themselves because their decisions are based on emotions. There is quite literally neither rhyme nor reason. If one reads into Nazi and fascist policies and institutions, they don’t make any sense whatsoever. Nazi Germany was actually on the brink of self-made bankruptcy by excessive overspending, until Hitler declared war to delay the inevitable by plundering the resources of Europe. Eventually, American fascism will just end up eating itself.

  I am not trying to invalidate your comment, but saying that is like trying to boycott goods and services from China.

  A lot of millennials don’t want to admit this. My female coworkers admit they got some botox here and there even though some of them are in their 20s. Women are also having babies later in life, so the surge of hormones usually released during pregnancy and birth doesn’t happen, so the manifestation of physical signs of ageing is delayed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexon-owned game studio enters “indefinite strike” over employee bonuses allegedly being slashed while executive bonuses increased  - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The landmark legal ruling on lay offs and pay cuts in Japan is great. Any Japanese company must objectively be in financial difficulty to justify lay offs and salary cuts. That’s why it is common for Japanese executives to take pay cuts, because they can’t do the disingenuous move of laying rank and file while giving bonus to executives, not because higher ups genuinely care about their employees.
