  • Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate

    Jump

  • yeah, the only problem is that this results in the best talent leaving, you're stuck with people who have nowhere else to go. it's one of those short-term profits kinda things, which is why Wall St loves it so much.

  • How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?

    Jump

  • I tried switching to Linux many years ago (forgot what distro). It was hell.

    I don't remember the specifics anymore, but I remember encountering issues almost every step of the way. Driver support, not being able to find the right buttons, etc. Searching for fixes usually led me down a rabbit hole of "oh cool this user on this forum said in another thread that I just need to install Gobbledegook... But what is it and how do I install it?" and of course a bunch of things require CLI which I'm not fantastic at. Unfortunately I gave up after a week.

    Compared to that, Windows really "just works". I have had my share of frustrations, but it's usually with stuff that's comparatively an edge case when compared to the problems I had with Linux. I don't like that I'm giving money/data to a megacorp, but the price of that is convenience. I don't churn my own butter, I don't build my own car, I don't want to think too much about how my OS works under the hood.

  • Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week

  • This just means they're a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance

  • Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report

  • Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn't work as a loss leader because it's so different from all other products.

  • Logitech’s Subscription Mouse Idea Pulled Back After Backlash

    Jump

  • at this rate, in 20 years some asshole capitalist will figure out how to monetize air as a subscription service and we'll all be living in a true dystopia

  • Musk's X sues advertisers over alleged 'massive advertiser boycott'.

    Jump

  • More government intervention in markets, because that's what Republicans stand f- oh wait, er....

  • What has been the worst church service you have ever attended?

    Jump

  • Not a church service, but I attended a church wedding.

    Pastor gave a sermon as is tradition during a church wedding. Every minute or so, he somehow managed to work in "and since you are in a place of God, you should not disrespect the bride and groom or our worshippers by using your phones".

    Bitch, I'm here to support my friend who's getting married, not your church or your worshippers. I know for a fact that my friend chose to get married in the church because it's cheaper, not because she's super religious. Also I'm agnostic and haven't read the Bible, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't say "thou shalt not use mobile phones in churches".

    I very pointedly had my phone out for his entire sermon out of spite

  • Fox News host Jesse Watters thinks men who vote for women ‘transition’ to women

  • Bunch of fuckin weirdos

  • twitter has started training AI with user data

    Jump

  • Anyone who cared would already be off Twitter.

  • Iran trying to undercut Trump campaign and Russia doing opposite, U.S. officials indicate

    Jump

  • maybe we can tell the Iranians to go after Russians directly, and Russians to go after Iranians directly, and kill two birds with one stone?

  • Air New Zealand becomes first major carrier to drop climate goal

    Jump

  • And before someone comments about the ultra rich and their private planes, their emissions is basically nothing compared to the rest of air traffic.

    Yes but it's a hugely disproportionate amount for one person, how do people not get this?!

    Using the same logic, i shouldn't do anything about climate change myself, because everything I can personally do is basically nothing.

  • Israel sends Gaza hostage and ceasefire proposal to U.S.

    Jump

  • Historically, Israel shows a lot of willingness to make disproportionate trades to get their hostages back. Like, they'll release 100+ enemy hostages to get one of their own back.

  • Firefox CTO Responds On Collecting User Advertisement Data

    Jump
    1. Rather than fighting against ad-tech , they're caving. If someone comes into your house to punch you and rob you everyday, do you say "let's find a solution that we're both happy with, how about you rob me and don't punch me?"
    2. We could have argued about how privacy-protecting this is, and whether it will actually prevent further intrusive tracking. Perhaps I might be persuaded to keep it. But the fact that I wasn't informed about being opted in when upgrading, and the fact that the CTO is doubling down on "users are too stupid to understand this", means they've lost any trust and/or willingness for me to listen to them. Turning this off for good.

  • Boeing accepts a plea deal to avoid a criminal trial over 737 Max crashes, Justice Department says

    Jump

  • They will keep doing what they’re doing

    Wrong.

    This plea deal helps them quantify the cost of safety lapses, which they didn't have before. Now they know that they'll only get fined a tiny bit, they know that it'll be worth it to cut further corners if that helps them sell maybe 5-10 more planes in total.

  • X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit

    Jump

  • that's fine for a small discord group but it doesn't scale. you can't be that active in moderating millions of conversations.

    downvotes (and hiding downvoted comments) is a community-driven way of signaling unacceptable behavior. it largely works, except in echo chambers.
