maybe an unpopular opinion: fuck capitalism and corporate greed and all that, yes, but would you rather that space be used for a cemetary or housing? I don't mind my bones being put somewhere with a shit view if it means living people don't have to see that shit.
this is what is known as "a feature, not a bug"
It CAN BE amazing in certain situations. Ceo tomfoolery is what's making generative Ai become a joke to the average user.
genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?
As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter... used to be for following celebrities but i've gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).
I know the general narrative is "Google bad", but this seems like a healthy thing?
First of all, if this is a way for employees to report privacy incidents, that's a good thing.
Second, given the enormous reach giggle has, the fact that it has "thousands" of privacy incidents collected over many years isn't a large percentage at all.
Nothing sparks romance like legal documentation and state sponsored matchmaking
we need some sort of global tax for the rich but governments are incentivised to NOT make it happen.
best option is some sort of support agent work which allows remote, but you need steady hours.
if she really can't hold steady hours for whatever reason then fiverr is the next best option. or look up things like gaming where you can sell in-game currency or resources for money
Remember when presidential scandals were about the guy wearing a tan suit instead of a dark colored one? Pepperidge farm remembers.
I don't really remember what the names of Google apps are anymore. I just know there's an app I can use to tap to pay, and I have a custom icon for that app (since all of Googles app icons are so similar it's confusing).
Once they deprecate one app and move to the next, I'll just change the icon on that.
This is in nobody’s interest except the shareholders of weapons manufacturers.
You forgot about a country called Ukraine there buddy.
I gotta say, of all the conflicts going on in the world, Ukraine/Russia has got to be the one with the clearest "good" side and "bad" side. Pick another conflict to be edgy about.
"It's your responsibility to make sure our products aren't nonsense. All we want to do is to make money off you regardless."
This is a feature, not a bug. It's designed to wean you off using twitter.
Should companies work on improving access to services and making sure paying consumers get a better experience?
Nah, let's spend more money paying lawyers to go after a few people, that'll show em.
Damn those DEMONcrats wanting to over-regulate everything and stifle innovation! Small government forever! Er, hold on-
Spamming user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail takes absolutely no technical knowledge whatsoever - anyone can do it with 1 gmail account.
Spamming user1@domain, user2@domain etc requires 1 of two things:
-
you can sign up for multiple email accounts using a third party service. You're going to run into trouble with Gmail or other big providers if you start creating accounts en masse.
-
you create your own email server. this requires someone with selfhosting knowledge and some basic coding (or rather server config) experience.
"we're very sorry... that we got caught. rest assured we will do everything we can to ensure... that we do this more subtly in future".
that's to stop people from spamming signatures with user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail, user+3@gmail, etc.
i mean, my phrasing sounded contradictory but the thought process is logical lol
There's a certain cheesiness and non-political-correctness that's refreshing.
Also discovered a few mods like Shockwave that I wanna try.

The United Auto Workers expanded its strike against major automakers Friday, walking out of 38 General Motors and Stellantis parts distribution centers in 20 states.
The United Auto Workers expanded its strike against major automakers Friday, walking out of 38 General Motors and Stellantis parts distribution centers in 20 states.
Another 5,600 additional workers joined the strike on top of the 13,000 of the 146,000 members that began the strike one week ago.
Ford was spared additional strikes because the company has met some of the union’s demands during negotiations over the past week, said UAW President Shawn Fain.
“We’ve made some real progress at Ford,” Fain said during an online presentation to union members. “We still have serious issues to work through, but we do want to recognize that Ford is showing that they are serious about reaching a deal.”
“At GM and Stellantis, it’s a different story,” he said. Those companies, he said, have rejected the union’s proposals for cost-of-living increases, profit sharing and job security.
Auto workers, writers, actors, Starbucks workers, Amazon workers, UPS drivers, flight attendants – labor isn’t a ‘special interest’. It’s all of us

- Union strategy: 13,000 autoworkers at the three Midwest plants, about 9% of the unionized workforce at the Big Three automakers, were the first to walk off the job. Now, more workers are temporarily out of work as the automakers are asking hundreds of non-striking workers not to show up to work.
- Negotiation and demands: The UAW's call for a 40% pay increase is still intact as negotiations continue. Also on the docket are pensions, cost-of-living adjustments and quality-of-life improvements.
- Reactions: President Biden urged automakers to share their profits with workers as the strike tested his bid to be the "most pro-labor" president. He is dispatching Julie Su, the acting labor secretary, and Gene Sperling, a White House senior adviser, to Detroit to help with negotiations.

What this report finds: Corporate boards running America’s largest public firms are giving top executives outsize compensation packages that have grown much faster than the stock market and the pay of typical workers, college graduates, and even the top 0.1%. In 2021, we project that a CEO at one of...
"average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989"
"Needless to say, changes that benefit the working class of our country are not going to be easily handed over by the corporate elite. They have to be fought for—and won."
As part of his Labor Day message to workers in the United States, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday re-upped his call for the establishment of a 20% cut to the workweek with no loss in pay—an idea he said is "not radical" given the enormous productivity gains over recent decades that have resulted in massive profits for corporations but scraps for employees and the working class.
"It's time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay," Sanders wrote in a Guardian op-ed as he cited a 480% increase in worker productivity since the 40-hour workweek was first established in 1940.
"It's time," he continued, "that working families were able to take advantage of the increased productivity that new technologies provide so that they can enjoy more leisure time, family time, educational and cultural opportunities—and less stress."
