Or - OR, right, everyone can turn off location and WiFi on their phones.

Right now. But maybe not forever and so regulation to make sure that we canor even better, regs against this tracking. Because it shouldn’t be necessary.

It’s not mentioned because only things rich people care about are mentioned on our rich people news programs

spicy

Dang, you’re right! It’s like noticing the arrow in fedex

Thanks, you explained it well enough this layman kinda gets it!

Its 3 right? Am i real? Why can’t ai guess that one?

Lol at desperate. These journalist enablers need to go down with the crappy business practices they protect

Tong Diep Anh, marketing director at Viec 3 Mien, a recruitment company for Apple manufacturers, told Rest of World. “In the past, when demand for work was high, workers had to pay money to get a job. Now that the job market is saturated, workers have a choice

Emphases mine.

Hung, the TikTok recruiter for Luxshare, said he has spoken to more than 100 prospective applicants. In the end, he said, workers care most about pay and the work environment: “Now workers have too much choice. Many join the companies, many leave, too. They jump between Luxshare, Foxconn, and other companies"

Again. No recruiters talking about nor does the article mention a lack of able-bodied workers in the population. The corpos would rather pay recruiters to offer fuckin umbrellas n shit instead of offering competitive wages in the market. Whole bootlick article is fulla tone-deaf quotes like these crying how is unfair they have to compete on wages, working conditions, and benefits.

Get fucked. PAY ME

Thank God this means i can stop wondering if i should click on the… the 13 pixels from the fucking bike in that one corner square or wondering if i should count the scooter as a motorcycle fuck i am so tired of that shit

You’re not gonna get many linux users respecting your opinion on tech if youre such an outlier. Windows 7? Cmon, ya gotta expect to get pushback on this right? Not just Linux nerds either… like Who do you tell this bombshell to and they’re like “yeah ok that’s normal?”

Yeah sorry this isn’t molestation, this is how media works in a digital connected world. The fact the entertainment industry has been denying the realities of their industry for 50 some odd years causes some head-scratching takes, like an actress being “molested” by someone jerking off to her in a scene they didnt pay for. No, sorry lady, once you expose the flesh to the camera you relinquish the right to keep it to yourself.

These stupid goddamn articles always trot out some actress or stagehand to humanize the ‘victims’ too, when its really just rich production companies losing money. Fuck everything about this.

Don’t be silly. Those comms are filled with people who could no longer stand reddit-brained commenters shouting all the pro-US propaganda.

The belief that all political dissenters of the DNC are somehow trained or foolish monkeys tricked by the wiles of a foreign country is itself a powerful propaganda point. Now i don’t expect you to believe that just cuz i said it, but if i were right, what might such propaganda achieve? Does it perhaps cause you to consider all criticisms of the DNCs policies as “russian prop” and then not read more? If it does, is it a "thought terminating cliche? "

After all, you believe it somehow (even though thinking through it would dismiss the idea as ridiculous) and i bet you’re a smart person generally.

You might think I’m a ruskie no matter what but consider my POV. I left reddit because i couldn’t stand the politics there, only to have those politics follow me and scream that im some agiprop to fool them.

No, no, i don’t want anything to do with the childish US-centric worldview of reddit. Its not about them cats, i did it for my sanity, cuz the shit redditors say hurts my soul. I leave to find people who think like i do only to have the most strident screamers follow me. No, screamers, you arent my target, you goldarn children are my endless headache

I don’t want people to change their politics i want them to stop filling my feed and inbox with stupid bullshit.

I would like it very much if the first thing that came up in a casual search for any business was sweaty rule 34 fantasies

Wow, this is like, super stupid.

Wow

But while you’ve eloquently pointed out the inherent flaw in the definitions we use in this discussion, i could use your same argument against you, reducing your argument to:

“I don’t like this meme”

Because memes, sayings, chants, etc exist to boil down a nuanced concept into a quick statement of belief, you could nitpick em, all of em all day, and while a little mental flaggelation is fun we’d have spent that day missing the point.

Pedantica aside, do you disagree with the meaning behind the saying?

Hey, this is great, thanks!

I’m told many many do thanks in part to the steam deck. I bet if you yelled out your games a Linux user would bite, they’re stocked to the gills here on Lemmy

She’s Beautiful. Thank you.

If you’re trolling these cats you’re doing a fantastic job. I hope youre not tho. I love picturing what this computer looks like

Well sir I’m always down for a nice discussion, you had me at hello. But youre in trouble if you only wanted a paragraph 🤣

Your link is great evidence to your point. It absolutely does reinforce the idea, with evidence that voting with your wallet does indeed affect change. I should say also my point isnt VWYW doesn’t ever work but that it has very little power.

I’d like to suggest that same article also helps mine, at least some.

Point being it shows VWYW (at the consumer level) didn’t have the power to stop the inflation of chips in the first place. Leaving aside the illusion of choice, the current system has taken the power of VWYW out of our hands almost completely.

The fact that PepsiCo even has that kind of market power is beyond question at this point right?

I’m not saying anything controversial if i take it further, that supply chains between our bag of chips and Pepsico, (distributors, grocery stores etc) are also consolidated, yeah?

At each step of the process, market consolidation reduced the ability of the companies within that chain to VWTW, and they pass the costs on down to the next link who also has no ability to VWTW. At the end of this chain we sit with our wallets, but the power has been diminished before we got to open them. Just like the lesser evil, VWTW becomes a choice of voting between ALL chips that cost more across the board or no chips at all.

That’s what i mean when i say VWYW in this system, at this time, is meaningless.
