it seems unnecessary to be unkind to somebody just because they’re rich.

Yeah. No.

That’s the best reason to be unkind.

They are just angry that they did not think of selling 5-Star reviews to those restaurants themselves.

Sorry you work in a warehouse i guess? […] Also don’t look in your neighbor’s bowl unless it’s to make sure they have enough.

a. I don’t.

b. That’s my point. Improvements in the workplace are great. I just wanted people to be aware that this change is not applicable for a big part of the workforce. I was trying to make sure people saw that their neighbors bowl would still be empty so to say.

The manufacturing question is a tough one, because changing this requires taking short term profits away from companies and exchanging them for a long term better future. That’s a tough idea to sell. But I guess I’m derailing the discussion a bit with that point.

Letting people work from home is an easy decision in contrast. That’s just about changing some insecure managers minds. You can usually do that with numbers. Same goes for 4 day work weeks. Both of those are inevitable because companies who adopt it will have a competitive advantage in terms of acquiring talent in the next 10 years.

I’m not saying working from home should not be available for anybody who wants to do it, sorry if I sounded like it. I just wanted to emphasize that it is a solution for a specific subset of employees. I see a big potential to alienate a big chunk of people if we don’t put this in context.

And then there is the guys in the factory and the warehouse who can not be afforded this “luxury”. The doctors and nurses, the school- and kindergarten-teachers who need to be at a specific place to do their jobs. This proposal simply does not work for everybody. The whole “work from home debate” seem to focus on a particular kind of jobs and disregards that all those jobs only exists, because manufacturing takes place in China. I’d love to see a change of focus, from product price to quality and sustainability of industry products to go along with qualified manufacturing jobs returning to Europe. And in that context we can hopefully stop shifting the exploitation of workers to Asia along with the Jobs and exploit our own workers again. NO! Of course, not exploit them as much anymore.

I agree that people should stop using twitter and if nobody used it, it would stop being relevant. But it still is relevant at this point. We’ve put a big piece of our “interaction infrastructure” in the hands of a small number of maniacs. If those maniacs misbehave, they need to be punished.

Just nationalize twitter and be done with it.

Oil companies are not the problem, people who still drive their car to work are!

Are you sure about that?

I read that as you being facetious, but: Yes this is exactly what I want. If a service can not comply with GDPR, the service should not be accessible. It would be great for their customers if the service decided to change their practices to become compliant, but that is a business decision they need to make.

🤷‍♂️ gotta be on the way to become the super human you were always supposed to be 🤷‍♂️

I’m somehow always playing transhumanists. They don’t get a debuff.

Hey, if you only eat paste, there is no chance you get food poisoning from a dirty cooking area or an unskilled cook.

I ordered one on the 21st of August, it arrived exactly one week later on the 28th. Shipped to Germany I might add, so not sure how long it will take to north america. But I’d be surprised if if took much longer.

If only I had a PS5…

Sorry to be that guy: Install Linux?

But seriously: l’d like to know as well.

You stop loggin in to facebook.

Discord is such an obvious “stay the fuck away from” product.

You have no idea what kind of fucked up stuff all those devs tell me… And all I can do is sit there in silence.

Seems like we could use federation on the community level

I was about to post the same. Joining the biggest instance is a bad Idea. I remember when joining Mastodon, there was a quiz that helped me find a fitting instance. Maybe there is a way to have something similar for lemmy instances? Maybe it already exists and I don’t know about it? The concept of a decentralized social network seems to be hard to grasp for people.
