RSUs can be a great bonus, but agreed, you definitely shouldn’t consider RSUs part of your total compensation unless they vest quarterly to yearly. If they take a full four years to start vesting you definitely shouldn’t count on that income.

Ok let me us know when that happens lmao

Some features are meant to drive engagement, not revenue. Some products are sold at a loss to drive engagement. This article is a very simplistic view of how technology has always worked for a product in it’s infancy.

Ah yes, the trend of every new technological development ever. Apparently investment is “hemorrhaged money” until it’s profitable.

Lemmy is the worst place to get your information on the field of AI or really tech in general lol. “Technology” is a bad word and the only upvoted posts are just false confirmation bias that tech corporations are in some sort if imaginary “death spiral”.

Lol “AI invasion”? If that’s what this is you “lost” over a decade ago. LLMs are a massive leap in NLP technology, but AI backs everything already.

these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software
and hardware apparently lol

What’s your point? The dude gave a perfectly valid reason to not using Firefox, regardless of who’s fault it is.
But also, how on earth would building a functional browser for a phone that owns 55% of the US market share be a waste of time and resources?
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 1 year ago:
I don’t own an iPhone, but this seems like a totally fair criticism and I don’t see any replies refuting it, so what’s with all the downvotes? I swear to god this place is ridiculous sometimes, these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software. Only positive feedback allowed!
- Comment on States sue Meta for harming young people's mental health, collecting data on children 1 year ago:
This lawsuit has nothing to do with data collection
- Comment on States sue Meta for harming young people's mental health, collecting data on children 1 year ago:
This is going absolutely nowhere, I guarantee it. Meta is a business, so yes, they intentionally seek to increase engagement, this isn’t illegal (see every other industry with children as a demographic).
“Manipulative features” is incredibly subjective and hard to prove. “Lowering self-esteem” is also very, very difficult to prove, especially since an Oxford study came out recently showing no evidence linking Facebook adoption and negative well-being. On top of that, proving Meta did this all intentionally for profit is basically impossible, unless they have some sort of crazy smoking gun that I’m sure they don’t have, otherwise they’d be approaching this from another angle.
I know everyone around here wants to see big social media fall, but this ain’t it. At most they’ll settle for a small undisclosed amount, allowing the AG a “show of force” and Meta to avoid anything public.
- Comment on Tiktok's most popular painter sends followers after art critic for negative review of gallery exhibit 1 year ago:
And apparently don’t display your art criticism to the world if you aren’t strong enough to get harassed? What a time to be alive
- Comment on Tech CEOs Fleeing to Non-Extradition Countries 1 year ago:
He was very outspoken about the fact that he wasn’t suicidal and if he was ever found to have committed suicide, that it was a hit job
The dude was also just fucking insane from 50 years of drug use lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if committed suicide to troll the world or for his own crazy meth head paranoia reasons, but he was probably just crashing hard.
- Comment on Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU 1 year ago:
In the interest of making criticisms factually correct, they don’t “sell” user data, they make money through targeted advertising using user data. They actually benefit by being the only ones with your data, it’s not in their interest to sell it.

- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
I’m sure that would have really hurt my feelings if I knew absolutely nothing about myself.
Clearly your head is so far up your own ass that you don’t know anything about yourself. Do you really think I’m here to “hurt feelings”? Says more about you than it does about me doesn’t it.
- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
“Kid”? What is this, early 2000s internet? Do you want to threaten to beat me up irl too? Fuck off dude, you’re irrelevant, stop acting like the world is ending because you could never figure out how to turn on a printer. The world wasn’t better when you were young, your shitty attitude is evidence of that.
- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
Haha what? You quoted my response to your Andrew Tate nonsense and asked who “they” was. There was no “they” in the part of my comment you quoted, so “they” is from your comment. But sure, I’ll be a clown here, why not lmao.
- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
Lol what the fuck are you talking about? “They” in that context was the “millions of boys and young men” who see Andrew Tate as a role model. This is all from your comment. Haha are you finding it hard to keep track of your fragmented delusional arguments on the internet?
- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
What? That was a direct response to your comment. I quoted you, it’s clear who “they” is. Try reading that again.
you just insisting they’re everything you pinkie promise they were.
Do you really think that I have to provide evidence to disprove bullshit anecdotal claims that were never proven in the first place? That’s not how discussion works.
- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
Are they the majority? No, probably not.
No, hard stop. Not even fucking close. Your examples are confirmation bias.
nor a time where they’ve wielded so much power.
Do you not remember the Christian groups of the… 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s? They always have, you just weren’t informed via the internet about it.

- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
Doesn’t that just show young people are informed to the point that American conservatives have to resort to general silliness and outrage to get their shitty base of mainly older generations to vote?
I think you’re confusing the loud minority for the majority
- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
Yeah I mean instead you just had an entire country pretty much unanimously vote for Reagan economics that we’re still feeling the brutal affects of today while the dissenting voices were just entirely unheard.
People are louder, they aren’t stupider.
