  • I don't think you understand what a century tax is. Because thats what that is.

  • I happened to pick up in the article the neutral pronoun and have avoided it, but to accuse a pretty casual use of a prounoun as being a shitty thing to do is.. a shitty thing to do.

    Why should misgendering be treated with more respect than the respect given?

    Incidentally, I hate the plural pronoun as the stand in for unspecified. Especially when talking about a company versus an individual, it is useful to use the plural to refer to company and a singular for the individual. Otherwise it's a vague mess. It's so confusing when folks are using plural to refer to singular people.

    Sorry but they has always been both singular and plural.

    'Can you flag the waiter when they're not busy?' Has always been grammatically correct. Its always been the 'I'm not sure option'. You don't say he/she when you don't know how to refer to someone, you use they.

  • If they're not paying enough, why are we subsidising them? Why are they still benifical?

    Do you think if Walmart had to pay all of the food stamp costs of their employees, do you think Walmart would dissapear and replaced by nothing?

    I also encourage you to look up how much federal tax Amazon pays

  • No, I don't want fake ally's.

    Were not a pymarid scheme. Were people asking for basic respect.

    And if you see that as a problem, not only were you never an ally, your actively part of the problem.

  • Sorry, but if your allyship is so fragile that someone being a dick online can wiaver it, you were never an ally.

  • Same statement. They don't pay corporate tax either.

  • Look, I'm not trying to assign humans a lower value or anything. I'm just saying that from an accounting perspective, most employees are just a necessity to keep the thing running, like electricity. The process of R&D is a bit of an exception and some businesses will even give their software or other intellectual property a value in the books and depreciate it over time. But even then, the investment is into the product, not the people. Because the people can bail on you at any time, barring some special exceptions.

    I'm not gonna muddle the expense vs investment, because either way, your still devauling the actual humans in this. Trying so say your not, then dobjuag that, undermines the first line.

    Thats my issue. Is that the language we use to talk about real people matters. And talking about it like they don't contribute, just expense is a huge part of it.

  • He could've made more money if he didn't have to pay it. Similarly to the raw materials, electricity, and every other unavoidable business expense.

    Citation needed with data. Because I'd argue pay on the factory is also proportional to quality output. So would they have still made the money with a worse product?

  • They host relay servers.

    Its how they get around networking shenaigins.

    You stream media to them, and then it gets passed to you back wherever you are.

    Premium allows you to share with friends.

  • Has Github/Microsoft rolled back the master to main switch?

    Jump

  • It defaults to master if your account existed before the change I believe.

    At least I had to manually change it.

  • We're bringing Pebble back!

    Jump

  • Yes, but reading the page tells you they've gotten google to open-source PebbleOS and highly suggests they're either going to maintain the open source version, or otherwise fork the code.

  • Let's not blame fellow workers for doing what they need to survive. Big tech companies are exploitive by nature, espcially H1B visas are basically indebted servitude at this point.

    This is about class, not left vs right.

  • So tailscale client, the apps you actually download are open source. What's not open source is the server side code.

    Because the interface of tailscale is publicly known and available, someone went and made an open source server side version compatible with tailscale clients.

    What's tail scale?

    It's an easy to use VPN. I can expose just my server to the vpn and my community can easily gain access.
