I’ve been using a Mac since 1991, so to say I’m invested in a particular OS already would be an understatement. That said, I’ve also tried Linux many times, and in the long run I’ve abandoned each of those for ridiculously simply things I think it should be able to do that will take me more time than I’m willing to lose to get that simple thing to work. I -work in IT- and I still don’t want to sped my off-time troubleshooting problems. Learning, yes. Fixing, not so much.
And whatever you do, don’t say “Apple” lest you release the banshees that somehow think Android isn’t just Google spyware. Seriously, Android core OS will end up as easily corrupted as Chrome in the long run, but sure, keep thinking it’s freedom I guess.
indeed - we went from having ‘personnel’ departments to having ‘human resources’ departments - the person has been entirely eliminated in an even referential manner
It also infuriates me that when anyone says “I worked hard to build this business!” that they really are saying “I had to sacrifice my humanity to beg other people to do work that benefits me more than it benefits them.”
Imagine that the world of humans has been going on for 100s of thousands of years and the current system of economics that’s only been around for a couple of hundred years is treated like we’ve finally reached the pinnacle of how human beings should interact with each other to survive as a species, while we clearly see people in our species starving, being abused, being murdered for their race, etc.
The lie is that “Capitalism benefits everyone. And those that it doesn’t benefit aren’t trying hard enough.” Fuck that. I’ve been working regular, full time jobs all my life, and the trade offs you have to endure to keep jobs and/or advance in jobs are for things like your time with your family, your time enjoying things, your time appreciating life and other people, your perspective and views set aside to tell lies to people that work for you so you can keep your job where you must constantly lie to people that make less money than you that are often equally or more skilled than you.
Capitalism is a lie that is deeply highlighted in this thread. A lie of exploitation equaling opportunity. A lie of hoarders of wealth to convince others that they too hoard wealth at their level.
It is deeply disturbing what level of loss of being a decent human being must be discarded to keep capitalism going.
I already looked up one thing and regretted it. Fool me once…
Well, I had to look up the first thing and to you sir I say good day. …I SAID… GOOD DAY.
This. SO uncomfortable without one.
Did you see they are cutting cost by removing all right-side driver cars from production and still selling in those markets with an included reaching arm for things like badging in? Hilarious.
“Can you remove the picture requirement functionality and substitute a text requirement?” Done and DONE.
Panasonic DP-UB420-K - It’s the best mid-range I could afford and find and I’m pretty happy with it. The sound on it with just a Sony stereo sound bar and stereo conversion is a lot better than any other sound coming out of any of my other devices.
Guess whose 4K Blu-Ray player is out for delivery today?!
I am old, so, you know, lots of them. ;) (58 next week) - Black coffee. Stick shift. Movies in the theater. Undershirts. Frugality. etc.
I have a $50 bidet attachment that’s made my entire life better.
I’m using Mlem and it is available through Testflight for beta testing
I figured this out. There’s a girl/guy there this person doesn’t want to take a shit around because OP is a notoriously stinky pooper. Everyone can go home now.
Ultimately here’s what’s going to happen: These closed communities will be forcefully reopened by Reddit admins, the mods will be removed and replaced with toadies that will follow the new rules, and it will inevitably descend into exactly what Twitter is descending into: a right-wing propaganda outlet with racists, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, homophobic content dominating the forums that took a stand.
Wow, yeah, private markets solve all problems. Brilliant. Also, what’s Santa bringing you this year? I hope you got great eggs from the Easter bunny! Do you occasionally knock out a tooth to leave for the fairy?
