  • Why Students Are Rejecting Silicon Valley's Vision Of The Future

    Jump

  • The vision: "Listen up you ungrateful insect. You'll work for nothing, under constant surveillance, until you die early, penniless and in pain, from very preventable conditions. Also, we're just going to fire you randomly. Fuck you"

  • You sure about that? Sounds like some righteous motivation and then the owner class writing the history they wanted remembered after the fact by trying to have the term adopted in wealthy-owned media as simply those "afraid of any new technology"

    "The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who protested the use of certain types of automated machinery due to concerns relating to worker pay, child labor, working conditions and output quality. They often destroyed the machines in organised raids. Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of "Ned Ludd", a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials."

    That's just the Wikipedia intro, I'm sure plenty here with more depth to add.

  • LinkedIn from Microsoft locked me out — they demand I give my passport and access to my webcam to Persona

    Jump

  • Look at linkedinlunatics style content for the true sycophants that want to be there. That's the actual target for your smug comment.

    Otherwise, your shortsighted view overlooks the majority of people who are forced to interact with that slop bucket. It's become a necessity if you are seeking any kind of office job. With the literally millions of layoffs in the last couple years, not based on actual performance, you have a lot of decent people forced into that hell.

    So speak less of a nuance you obviously know nothing about. Avoiding LinkedIn is a luxury. If you're privileged enough to not engage, then good, be grateful and stop trying to shit on the less fortunate.

  • Report: ICE surges have triggered massive job losses - including among Americans

  • Where is the credible source data you trust for any of this downstream analysis? All collecting/reporting agencies have been corrupted or defunded at this point.

    Maddening to see people doing things like citing the current CDC for medical information - we're seven layers deep into hell at this point. You're clinging to an illusory normalcy, and sharing it with others to comfort yourself as society actively burns down around you.

    Or whatever.

  • Local Brand Realizes Customers Hate Its AI Ads, Switches to Charming Homemade Ones Instead

    Jump

  • For the fervently anti-human, yes... For the AI/Crypto/NFT scammers and for dedicated fascists and neo-nazis, they can all buy individual cruise ships (to avoid any collective action) that they independently run as corporate nation states in international waters. They can each employ their own barber to give them Marcus Aurelius or Caesar haircuts and continuously war with one another in a "first they came for" progression of self targeting their own sub ingroups until it's just mark zuckerberg's bodyguard (who immediately through mark's limp body overboard as the mega yacht departed and claimed it as his own) and mussolini's other grand kid who wasn't photogenic enough to run for politics and grew up in the basement.

  • Local Brand Realizes Customers Hate Its AI Ads, Switches to Charming Homemade Ones Instead

    Jump

  • Remember the phrase, "A leopard doesn't change its lazy urge to utilize AI slop". Instead of AI imagery, they are now likely just asking for AI generated ad treatments and scripts for the spots they have film students shoot for slave wages. Then they probably sit back and vape, Joe rogan playing in the background, as they bet on celebrity fart probabilities on kalshi and laugh like they got away with something.

    When these ghouls abandon humanity, don't give them a second chance after they get caught.

  • Wouldn't say "crazy", but definitely not credible without any actual support. You need to source if you want people to take you seriously. If not, we should rightly ignore whatever you have to say.

    Even though that ellipsis you used is VERY mysterious...

  • TIL Peter Thiel's former lover and alleged "blood boy" died under mysterious circumstances in 2023

  • I mean, they do bathe in it, it's just not a key part of the blood boy process. More a, "why not, we have all this poor people blood already?"

  • Postal Service won’t deliver mail ballots for states that don’t hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive | CNN Politics

  • You need to catch up on the last decade or so. Dejoy did irreperable damage. Biden blamed inactivity on not being able to intervene with board of governors. Trump does so without reservation of course. New dickhead postmaster general was a FedEx board member who's tasked with setting the USPS up to fail and force a privatization play... And make the uniforms more "hot" as trump directed.

  • I need a map...

    Jump

  • In clearest terms, I want to completely erase Google from my life first, among other wants. Not expecting you or others to flee with detailed solutions/recommendations, but just to illustrate. My priority is likely:

    • Photos, all photos, app accessible locally for my family (and ideally remotely, eventually)
    • Notes, no more keep, but the basic flow of that app works for me, so similar UX hopefully without overcomplicating.
    • Music, local library accessible to stream throughout my home on capable devices and app accessible. Remotely accessible by app, if possible.
    • TV / Movies, as above with music, but ability to control with harmony remote on a TV and not keyboard/mouse ideally (but I do have decent workarounds here currently)
    • Optionally run all above through a self hosted, local voice assistant or mounted HW buttons.
    • Corresponding hue light control for media events, presence detection (maybe motion detection by room) and sun schedule. All without data going back to any 3p servers.

    Nice to haves:

    • Calendar away from google, that allows simple external appointment scheduling, shared calendars and great colorful, visual organization of a coming week. Ideally a safe, private way for calendar to connect to and create events from emails.
    • Email, my own data and ability to use aliases that route back to main with corresponding tags ideally
    • Owning my online bookmarks, browser/device agnostic, with usable recall help, auto tags and read it later structure so saved articles don't just fall into the abyss. IIRC there was something called something like "Shinobi" that felt exciting for this need?

  • I need a map...

    Jump

  • A reply to all first and then will follow-up with individuals with any specific thanks/questions after work today:

    Thank you all for a very generous response. I knew this was a tough ask from the start because, by design, this area is vast and constantly evolving. That said, I think I do have many of the pieces of what I need here to explore - I'm most grateful that this is all advice from humans, unfortunately more rare these days (If you aren't a human though, please reply here with the word "beep" and I'll disregard your past advice).

    I'll try to stitch this all into one set, maybe share back here for confirmation that I'm getting it and then try to start this weekend or next. I have my own completionist hangups that I need to get over and ultimately just try something to get my hands dirty. Thanks again, all.

  • Broken speaker? Finicky zipper? Anticonsumerist Repair Cafes urge you to fix it instead of pitch it

    Jump

  • Maybe a CRT Trans Obama Marxist Hunter Biden Laptop terrorist even...

    Think about it, the number 7. So you have seven, the base "sev" as in "sever", by also "to save". So from save and then the end of sever, combined you get the word "Savour" which of course is close to "savior", which for them is the DEVIL...

    Savior is six letters - 6

    Savour is six letters - 6

    And what is a savior? Jesus. Jesus' dad is god, and he wears loose robes and he doesn't have super tight, ripped, sweaty abs like Jesus, but he looks good for his age - like Zeus and the little mermaids dad, but more of a dad bod because he sits on clouds a lot and doesn't swim in the ocean all day.

    Dadbod is also six letters - 6

    Do you get it now?

    666

    They want a savior (Satan), who will savour (eat) the dadbod (god)

    Wake up.

  • Hey, great accumulation of well articulated thoughts!

    Maybe a tangible reflection of what many currently feel inside but struggle to focus and express. In a way, a community service you've done for others, in the spirit of the broader message here.

  • You are not interested in the actual answer, troll. You act in bad faith and only seek to suck energy and goodwill from decent people that might think you genuinely want to understand something.

    The truth is you either do know and you're playing dumb, or you lack the basic capacity/attention span/empathy to understand and you're just blindly defending a "team" you think you belong to. Wake up, you wannabe cybertruck driver... you're not getting an invite to the yacht, the bunker or the child molestation island.
