I’m saying unemployment isn’t actually a risk. You just keep saying it is. Plenty of people ride dying companies into the dirt and move on, its not a crazy scenario to imagine.
- Comment on Work from home 7 months ago:
Plenty of people are making that bet. Work from home is important to a lot of people and its not something you can take away without employees seeing it as a pay cut.
So if my pay is being cut, and you are taking an extra 2 hours of my day in commute again, then I guess that becomes my reward for hard work?
To be fair the dynamics do change from business to business. My current one is a good example of making poor decisions with workforce and not expecting the blowback.
- Comment on Work from home 7 months ago:
Some workplaces are so poorly run they dont even fire people clearly collecting paychecks.
Ive literally seen management prevent someone from being fired for telling off a customer and swearing at them, because “we need them!”.

- Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims 7 months ago:
Yeah I think probably me saying “big business” is overly broad.
I almost always use that to mean big companies that use their size unfairly in the marketplace, and I’m not just talking about how production of scale works.
I do think that we need to really open up the global market, this competition by country is sort of ridiculous, but I’m not going to pretend I understand it all enough to prescribe a solution.
- Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims 7 months ago:
True, most global brands are garbage, but I do see a lot of stuff locally thats sprung up to fill interesting niches. I still think the community of people who say “fuck big business, and fuck endless greed” is a growing bunch so I’m hopeful.
It helps for me to watch what the generations after me are doing, and they are doing a fine job fighting for progress in my opinion.

I don’t have a lot of inner details about amazon but I do know that they have peaked already as far as retail goes. I don’t know when, I just know its happened already.
Amazon is no longer any of the following:
- The cheapest deal
- Filled with reliable reviews
- Filled with trustworthy companies
And on top of that, their product search page is to the point where not even the advertisers are having a good time. The end users (buyers) stopped having a useful interface a while before that.
Its easier now for me to avoid amazon simply because they aren’t the best deal by nearly any metric any more.

I prefer 270° myself, its something about just how gorgeous that set of numbers looks, but also probably how close it looks like pacman about to absolutely chomp down on some ghost ass :)
What’s your favorite angle?

I can’t force people to do the things I think they should. Noone can. People draw inspiration from all sorts of things. Like you right now seem inspired to protect China from racist western policies.
I dont pretend to speak for my country, or its government, but I can do two things:
-
Walk the walk, if you believe something then follow it. Examples: de-googling, disengaging with social media, following a vegan lifestyle, research companies before giving them your money.
-
Talking about all of this stuff in public places. With my family, coworkers, or here on Lemmy, anything we say has the potential to inspire someone to change. You never know what will be the thing that triggers change, but for all the things I listed above I had someone share that information with me in a public forum, which caused me to change.
I’m sure we can argue the efficacy of this strategy all day, and even some of the examples you gave like Amazon are no longer the behemoth they used to be.

Boycotting is a collective action, it spreads like a virus, so you are wrong on its effectiveness.
You sound like someone who wants hand waive away the real costs of their actions by saying there’s nothing you can do to change things.
I hope the people who read your post aren’t demotivated to effect change because of it.

What’s wrong with voyager? Its already ad-free.
Seems so strange to choose to inject adds over top of lemmy by choice.
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
Dang that was a quick reply.
I can’t tell if you want to talk or not, seems like you do cause of how eager you were to respond, but then you didnt answer my question :( I just want to have an honest conversation about something I find interesting, why do you gotta make me feel bad?
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
Well I just figure I’ll come back like once a day and check on you.
Hey so why’d you choose racemaniac for your handle anyways? Is it just like generic thing-feeling or is there like some sort of story there maybe?
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
Last word! :D
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
Anything new to add? Are you really going to be upset all day about this?
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
I’m fine with bring an asshole to you. I actually chose to, because I thought it was funny at the time. And now I think its funny how upset you’ve gotten over this.
Not sure if you’ve forgotten but I already conceded you were right: you just wanted to have an honest conversation about something you think is cool, but I think its stupid and I decided it was fun to tell you that. You definitely have nobler intentions and all that, I just simply don’t care about your point.
Also feel free to be hostile to me, I’ll be fine. I’m not sire what point you are trying to prove here besides “me good person, you bad person”.
I’m not going to stop replying, because this is fun for me. Take that for whatever but you don’t have to reply if you dislike me so much.

I only make fun of arch cause everyone else does it! I’m weak!
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
Hey I’m just one guy who didn’t like your opinion, did I really ruin this whole topic for you? Was there no other replier who gave you the debate you were looking for?
Seems to me like you think my opinion is just as stupid as I think yours is, let’s call it even? And for the record, we’ve both been hostile. At this point I’m only replying because this is interesting and I want to see what you say next.

“Background checked”…riiiiiiiiiiight
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
I think you might be projecting your own hostility there.
And you are just hijacking the AI conversation to argue about what the word intelligence means. I thought you wanted to talk about AI thats why I originally replied. When I realized you just wanted to apparently correct the public about their use of your favorite word, I decided this wasnt worth it.
Its sort of like you went to a bowling forum, and were very excited to discuss the mineral contents of the oil on the bowling lane, but got upset when noone cared to discuss with you because they just want to talk about bowling.

There needs to be a yearly execution of the worst distros or something I swear! Start with arch!
- Comment on Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them 7 months ago:
So don’t choose the wrong distro? All the most recommended for first time users are no problem.
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
Do you always argue the most boring parts of any issue as a rule? You win the argument, congratulations I hope it changes the world.
- Comment on Automation 7 months ago:
All you are saying is, is that intelligence isnt as smart as we think, that human intelligence is actually pretty dumb. That doesnt change anything about the current situation even if thats true though.
So we all agree its actually human level intelligence now, what then? Can we stop developing it and do something else now?

That’s understandable but its still inaccurate to say that those with Nvidia cards will have trouble with Linux. I understand people have biases but that’s not a helpful one.
- Comment on Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them 7 months ago:
Both my PCs have nvidia cards, a 3080ti and a 970, and not run just fine with games and Linux. I dont quite understand the hate for nvidia cards. AMD cards must poop glitter or something too.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 7 months ago:
The point is that you are asking the wrong question sort of. If we only accepted physical remnants of someone or their life to prove they exist, Jesus wouldn’t be the only one we would have to throw out.
Not to say I know how to prove stuff historically, it does sort of seem like magic sometimes. If we found out today that carbon dating was off by a magnitude I would not be shocked, so that’s all the faith I have in it due to my bad understanding of it.

- Comment on Neuralink's first in-human brain implant has experienced a problem, company says 9 months ago:
This is only logical if Neuralink is the only company doing this, but they are not.
Even the cofounder of Neuralink split off to make his own version of the company that puts safety first, and is working on a noninvasive (meaning doesn’t damage the brain by design) version of the same technology.
