I thought I shit myself again but this is actually worse

Tossing a dozen employees they were anyways with a big headline about it being because of not constantly working is a net profit from how many other employees will now be scared into working constantly.

Lemmy skews heavy 30+ so most people here will never understand. But I’m right there with you.

The tickets you bought? Corporate Overlord sold 'em to you.

Never bought them, i can sneak into anything worth being at.

The tunes you bought? Corporate Overlord.

Never bought them other than physical copies direct from the label that only has 5 artists.

The venue you went to? Sponsored by a corporate overlord.

Never went, any “venue” I’ve been to was come and go.

The Beer you drank at the venue

Didn’t buy it, made and brought it.

the fucking merch you bought

Never bought it

hell, even the fucking parking fee you coughed up went to a corporation.

I go to venues through piblic transit so i can get intoxicated

You don’t get to enjoy music anymore without supporting corporate overlords.

I’ve been contributing to small fedi artists just because they’re small fedi artists.

You’re being an antagonistic asshole and you know it. And you use the term bootlicker incorrectly.

If you even want to talk about you insecurities that you project, I won’t offer myself because you already made up your mind about who I am before you finished reading this. Get help. Twat.

Something about monkies with lots of bananas? Dave’s got 330 million bananas and just got a few hundred thousand more. Hoarding is only bad when people I don’t like do it.

Nice try, propaganda bot.

They replaced the CEO last week from the original founder. I’m not hopeful it isn’t all just a big cash grab that made a bunch of board members rich. Capitalism is ruining everything.

Try happymaxxing and go play video games outside. We have the technology.

My dedicated AI machine uses 1866mhz DDR3. Consumers don’t know what they need and will buy whatever the latest new thing is. Smart phones are so dumb. Like wow, your brand new $2500 phone has a benchmark 4x faster than my refurbished $250 phone. Now tell me what you do with all that power. “…well I save 27ms per Instagram post which adds up with how much I use it”. I want to run headfirst into a brick wall.

I wonder what it feels like to lay down naked on this thing and have it spin you around.

AI won’t take MY job, I’m safe. And I’m gonna go cry.

Epic Games bought Bandcamp in March 2022 for $273 million

[Bandcamp co-founder Ethan] Diamond was not aware of Epic’s plan to sell Bandcamp to Songtradr until as soon as the night before the deal was announced.

During the weeks that followed, Bandcamp’s union, which represented about half of the company at the time, called on Songtradr to voluntarily recognize the union while it also negotiated with Epic over how the layoffs to union members would be handled. For example, the game publisher said that no employee who received an offer from Songtradr would remain eligible for Epic’s severance package.

The two companies agreed to an “asset sale” of Bandcamp rather than a “stock sale.” This meant that Songtradr was only acquiring the technology and platform, rather than the company as a whole, including its staff.

“Of those laid off, 40 were in the union bargaining unit out of a total 67 members,” it wrote. “None of the eight (8) democratically elected bargaining team members received a job offer…"

They aren’t trying to have a conversation, they’re trying to convince themselves that the things they don’t understand are bad and they’re making the right choice by not using it. They’ll be the boomers that needed millennials to send emails for them. Been through that so I just pretend I don’t understand AI. I feel bad for the zoomers and genas that will be running AI and futilely trying to explain how easy it is. Its been a solid 150 years of extremely rapid invention and innovation of disruptive technology. But THIS is the one that actually won’t be disruptive.

Where the fuck is this all heading? There isn’t any new medium to deliver media to people that will revolutionize content delivery. It’s already delivered directly to the device its viewed on. Back to $20 per individual movie like DVDs were before streaming took off? Except 10 more steps away from actual ownership of what you buy?

Zero tolerance you say?

the FBI had a 96% compliance rate for FISA queries, a 14% improvement from OIA’s first baseline audit

Can’t wait for those 4% of queries to be prosecuted. I hope we can get better though. I only want 2% of what the FBI requests to be illegal.

There’s also the extreme bottleneck of using a meat bag that dies if it maneuvers too fast or for too long. The limitations of aircraft are not their own strength or materials.

I have issue with using AI to write my resume. I just want it to clean up my grammar and maybe rephrase a few things just in a different way I wouldn’t because I don’t do the words real good. But I always end up with something that reads like I paid some influencer manager to write it. I write 90% of it myself so its all accurate and doesn’t have AI errors. But it’s just so obviously too good.

Really? I had no idea.
