  • should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it?

  • You haven't done anything wrong at all. Just maintain your license though! There are SO many non-floor nursing jobs. Outpt, procedural, surgical, administrative, informatics, etc etc.

    The floor is hell. Basically everybody who leaves inpt will never go back. Other jobs are so much better.

    So all I'm saying is keep your options open. Don't go back to nursing if you don't like it, but if you let your license lapse you may regret it in the future.

  • I would say that's irrelevant for the crimes committed.

    Irrelevant to the crimes themselves, but very relevant to the political pressure that can be applied to force action.

    We all know the law doesn't just get applied because it should be. Especially not against the rich. It gets applied, or at least has a chance to be, when enough people are paying attention and demanding justice.

    Also, section 230 doesn't apply to criminal prosecution (it may not even apply to the ongoing civil case), and there is strong evidence from the civil case that it was the executives themselves that explicitly chose not to implement safeguards that Meta employees were calling for.

    We need new laws, more regulation, and fines that make Wall Street worried.

    Absolutely. We need all of that plus way stronger antitrust. And we need the current law applied to bad actors, regardless of their riches.

  • Americans, as a general population, don't give a shit about Myanmar, may not know it even exists. They don't really care or know about video view controversies and the like.

    One thing they do care A LOT about, is their kids. And the evidence is strong that Mark Zuckerberg and Meta executives knew children, on a mass scale, were being endangered by their products and deliberately, purposely allowed it to continue. They need to be prosecuted. If nobody even tries, then we've already lost.

  • Ethical consumption, 1860

  • Food is a great example of this meme actually. I've seen this exact argument (no ethical consumption) used many times by 'leftists' to try to justify consuming the flesh of the victims of horrific torture and suffering inflicted by the animal agriculture industry.

  • High-quality studies take time. Yes there's a lag, but doing the science is still super super important. Kind of get tired of this dismissive response every time a study gets published about a hot topic. Yes, we maybe 'knew' this, but sometimes we 'know' things and turn out to be partially or entirely wrong, or previously unknown factors are uncovered. If we want to truly understand a phenomenon it's maybe best not to act like studying is a waste of time.

  • This means the would-be buyer will pay WBD billions of dollars if the deal is not completed.

    There was a super interesting Money Stuff (Pay Now, Merge Later) recently about this kind of acquisition structure that allows the seller to keep the money even if the deal gets blown up by antitrust. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

  • Doing exactly the same. Graphene without play services or play store. Use f-droid, acressent, or obtanium for as much as possible and aurora as a supplement for stuff I can't get FOSS.

    Got lucky that I happened to have a pixel already before deciding to degoogle.

    Don't miss it at all. The only mild inconvenience is there's no substitute for google pay, but that's far from a dealbreaker.

    Otherwise my experience is frankly better. Less bloat, more control, my battery life has gotten better somehow (not sure why, fewer services running in the background maybe?), and feels good to use and support FOSS projects. Definitely wouldn't go back to stock.

  • Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets

  • It was enough to get me to unsubscribe and move to tuta for email, pcloud for storage, and mullvad for VPN. I still have a free proton account but they will need to really regain my trust to get me to resubscribe.

    Regardless of the walkback, it takes a real egghead to 'accidentally' praise an obviously corrupt fascist. Even from the narrow perspective of 'what is best for their business' it was moronic. You really think the guy in bed with Peter Theil, Palantir, Musk, etc etc and loves dictators who "rule with an iron fist" is somehow good for your privacy company and your users?

    The statement revealed this dude as either at worst a fascist or at best a dipshit. Neither option is great for CEO of a company that requires very high trust from its users. Do I want to rely on and pay for products from the company he oversees? No not really.
