We are just a little behind trying to elect our new dictator…

But just for a day…

/S 🙄

Nice. Then what’s the Spanish equivalent?

I have only visited Rota. Neat place.

Wow, classic.

Merica

Here’s a clue:

If the paper isn’t terrible, it was AI…

😋

Agreed.

I think it’s because people (some) are all talk. We bitch about corporate greed and stuff like this, but when it comes down to it, when you need a new electronic device and one’s half the cost, which one do people buy?

The one with ads and that’s made by slave wage third world workers, or the one that’s twice as expensive?

As a whole, we tend to be garbage and materialistic…

I won’t be buying Roku either.

Every piece of shit greedy corporation can’t hide from their lies when they say things are too expensive to implement correctly or pay people appropriately when they are simultaneously posting profits measured in billions…

Fair enough.

Maybe everyone agrees it sucks and all change?

Turn it into a group ‘stick it to the man’ effort?

I don’t have friends,.no problem for me 😋

Also,.I’m old and just text my friends!

Vote with your feet. Have to leave the platform if you want to stick it to them.

I don’t mean to downplay the environment, but I think we’ll have a long list of worries… 🫨

This story, like most corporate stories these days, frustrates me.

This is a tale as old as time…the time when American corporations went to shit as our elected officials ensured there was no liability and realistic legal consequences to executes or MBA decision making.

I’m not a business scholar obviously. I’ve always been led to believe that in order for the world to turn and air to be breathable, corporations and businesses need liability protection for those who run it. Why?

If I kill someone with my car, even if it was completely an accident, I’m still liable right? Should I account for the death of that person, child, etc?

How would things not be better if, instead of the bottom line and stock price being the ultimate concern of CEOs, it was them not going to court to face charges because they allowed their company to kill people with its negligence? I know there’s some nuance here, but ultimately, I feel like everything sucks because there’s no incentive to care about anything but investors and greed.

If industry, aerospace or other, was run by people who cared about not killing people and going to jail, would they in turn ensure their design and production met the quality and ambition of the type of people here, discussing their accounts of cutting corners or experienced personnel just to save money?

Don’t do this.

Downloading an exe from some random place is a huge red flag.

Windows lets you pause updates.

Might download some of these on an analysis workstation and run them through virus total and sandboxes. This could be fun.

I know businesses like to skip on spending money for upgrades, but still using 2010 is pretty far out. These just mom and pops that have no idea, or these just businesses that don’t care?

This isn’t necessarily the case anymore. They realized they could charge more money after all this parts pairing and proprietary stuff started.

Dealerships can make more money from repairs than selling. Especially if sales margin is lower due to online competitors selling cars cheaper.

This bill attacks one of the things preventing cheaper repairs and shops from helping .

Seems like meta views fediverse as a threat to monopoly.

I also wouldn’t say fediverse needs to embrace meta. It can continue being what is wants and meta has to account for it. Fediverse doesn’t have to be mainstream. Aside from Dev support, it’s probably better to stay niche.

I’m guessing by the down votes this is better in a community for more specific IT, like sysadmin or homelab.

Also, the download link and password protection is a huge red flag.

Agreed.

Lemmy, you are biased. You probably don’t intend to be, but it’s true for now.

Going to sound weird, but I came here because of who I knew the vocal people were. I didn’t understand many of their view points and reasons for being mad/hateful/etc. I am much more enlightened now and learn different perspectives everyday.

It is a giant echo chamber though if you are already very rooted in the spectrum here, and voicing decent usually leads to dog pile.

This is related to attitudes about news, politics, etc.

I watched that. Didn’t surprise me one bit.

The overreaching government apparatus doesn’t inherently bother me, but we’re really placing a lot of power and trust in those people, and that does concern me.

Wow, that is weird. I honestly just made that up in my head when I wrote it.

The saying is true, if it’s free, you’re the product.

I don’t actually know why I care about that level of privacy. Some of us are quite fine with companies or their government having any information about them. Some are very opposed.

Maybe I dislike the idea that information could be used against me somehow or they’re making even more money than I’m already paying in some hypothetical case. Not sure.

Doesn’t the Democratic party have complete majority control of most cities and the state legislature?

That’s a party which usually claims to be about taking care of poor people or ‘housing is a human right’, but I keep seeing evidence that part of California’s issue is residents eliminating any/all zoning that isn’t classic single family homes in places where there’s tons of good jobs, but super expensive housing.

It’s hard to wade through political party propaganda, but I thought this was well documented.

I don’t live in CA, so I don’t really know more than articles publish, but it just seems like they voted for the more American liberal/progressive party and still aren’t getting those values?
