I absolutely love the enthusiasm for required regulations in this thread but everyone is missing one critical aspect… illegal workers are probably a huge part of those impacted by this. Many of these “companies” who cut counters work through subcontractors and I bet the majority of these are just a guy with an LLC. I would love to see more numbers on the type of worker/businesses being hit with this illness.
I am the lead on a team of 5 and technically we have an on call rotation but it is rarely used. In the last 3 years I have been called after hours a total of 4 times and TBH it was usually due to an AWS outage which resulted in us saying well let’s see how long it takes for them to o restore services and then someone run a safety check to make sure shit is normal.
For that I make $120k, have unlimited PTO, and work from home.
It worked for The last of Us and Spiderman. Optimization through exclusivity allows the publishers to spend less time chasing down random bugs and rendering issues.
I know 2 people who wrote COBOL code for some major healthcare systems a long time ago and they came out of retirement about 5 years ago to update/convert that code. They made six figure salaries working from home to update that code.
I think it’s more about how those types of buyers view the manufacturers reliability long term. The man is unhinged and has proven with Twitter that if given the chance he will willingly fuck over users. Imagine giving a bully the ability to limit your driving range or disabling your vehicle on a whim because he decides he doesn’t like you or what your local govt says.
Not saying he would do it but he has proven repeatedly to be unstable enough to believe he could escape punishment for doing it.
Yep. Went to Disneyland a year ago and the trip there was very affordable. The trip home was 3-4x higher since it was closing time.
Came to say the same. Why are you driving users to their platform at all?
It does when your employees are also some of the end users.
I bet this has to do with complying with court orders. Can’t turn over something you don’t have.
I think that’s actually closer to the mark than many realize. Awards are great when they are not directed at the company or it’s rep in a negative manner as they show positive engagement and help the company with sales marketing. When awards and upvote/downvote counters are used to highlight that the users are having a negative experience then it hurts the platform image. Similarly to how YouTube removed the downvote tracker because their marketing team realized it hurt their sales revenue with business partners.
I try doing this from my phone and I can’t see how.
Agreed. I know it’s probably not realistic but it would be nice.
I have 4 vehicles you know what all of them have in common regardless of the year? Apple Carplay/Android Auto and backup cameras.
If any manufacturer believes their shit maps and apps are better than Android or Apple they can fuck right off. I will hack or replace every system in my cars.
I’m not saying I want or support that. I actually found it very easy to adopt. I am saying it is a hurdle in regards to adoption in regards to platform growth which is often discussed when comparing it to other social platforms.
I experimented by asking it to write a SQL query for a platform that has its entire database map available online. The data I asked for was impossible to get without exporting some of the data in those tables into temp tables using sub queries and then running comparative omissions analysis.
Instead of doing that it just made up fake tables and wrote a query that proclaimed the data was in these fake tables.
I visit it for a couple of subs that are not active on here. For the most part it feels the same. I never really cared for the karma system, gold, etc. So switching to Lemmy for me was more about just trying to find a place not being bombarded by ads, bots, and corporate policies.
I think reddit will survive the Exodus of users simply because Twitter is so badly managed that reddit may actually supplant it for a while. However, the drive to monetize all aspects of our lives is actually getting some push back from users so Lemmy may continue to grow in the next few years.
The biggest issues facing Lemmy isn’t content though. It’s ease of adoption.
The problem with algorithms is that they drive you into silos without you even realizing it. They always start out as very helpful but then turn against the user unintentionally. In all honesty the best thing FB, Twitter, etc could do is allow you to completely turn it off. That way you can take a break from the silo to see the normal world. It’s why services like Reddit and Lemmy are working so well. You can go to a community and see similar stuff posted or go to the all pages and see shit you didn’t even know existed.

I saw the impact of them siloing their user base yesterday when a trade was made for one of my sports teams. The news broke on Twitter and I heard about it on a local radio show. I tried to find it in the news but I couldn’t. I don’t use Twitter so I wasn’t able to see any info on the trade for another 2 hours until local news and other services started to confirm and replicate the Twitter post.
It’s incredibly short sighted of them to do this.
This isn’t happening in factories. This is happening in situations where someone is remodeling so none of those guys can afford fancy machinery. They usually cut/fit/sand on site.
