That moment you realize you are fetishizing something that was a carbon copy of a Windows mechanism originally designed by people at Microsoft/Apple.

I stand corrected. Thank you catloaf and lordnikon

LoL, my side hurts from laughing because of how true this is. 😂😂😂

Probably Firefox. Firefox handles video like shit.

The shareholders argued that the Supreme Court ruling in the case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard found that Harvard’s use of race when choosing who to admit to the school violated the 14th Amendment.

We are just gonna keep paying a godawful price for allowing this vile stacked court.

I remember when Vox did actual journalism instead of this trash.

It’s the same with modern Pornhub. The site used to be owned by a very unscrupulous group when it started but it got bought out by a company that has done everything they can to make it a stand up porn site. Yet every puritanical douche bag wants it shut down and they use the actions of the original owners as their “proof” of how bad the sure is even though it has been under new and better management for almost a decade.

There may have been non-disclosure agreements between Linus tech tips and PayPal Honey. They may have threatened to sue him if he went public. I’m assuming we’ll find out the details in the next few weeks.

I and many other people naturally assumed that honey was getting their money from consumer data collection. Which is why I didn’t use the service myself. The surprise is the fact that the scam isn’t just consumer data collection but actually stealing commissions from content creators as well as using consumers as a gateway to stealing money from businesses that they have contracts with.

This isn’t even remotely true. There are lots of advertisers and sponsors that aren’t scams. But unfortunately our consumer protection laws haven’t quite caught up to the digital marketplace. So there is a lot of room on the internet in general for scammy behavior.

As always, it’s buyer beware. As well as a big amount of content creator beware as well.

And Honey has always worked like this. So PayPal knew exactly what they were buying which explains the price tag. Paypal knew they were going to make their money back and then some.

And OF literally took all of the reported accounts down as soon as they were reported. They’re being incredibly compliant. And even though all of the accounts had proper paperwork, they took down 49 accounts that were just using vaguely childlike actions for views when Reuters reported them.

How do you dump on a company that’s being that responsible?

I honestly think this is more about people who don’t want porn on the internet at all. And hate OnlyFans simply because it’s primarily a porn site.

The large financial company that I work for

So the company that is obsessed with money that you work for has discovered a way to (they think) make more money by getting rid of you and you’re surprised by this?

At least you’ve been forewarned. Take the opportunity to abandon ship. Don’t be the last one standing when the music stops.

The part that is over hyped is companies trying to jump the gun and wholesale replace workers with unproven AI substitutes. And of course the companies who try to shove AI where it doesn’t really fit, like AI enabled fridges and toasters.

This is literally the hype. This is the hype that is dying and needs to die. Because generative AI is a tool with fairly specific uses. But it is being marketed by literally everyone who has it as General AI that can “DO ALL THE THINGS!” which it’s not and never will be.

This was 100% about downsizing their workforce without having to do mass layoffs. It just didn’t work like they hoped it would.

I see this as proof that the true purpose of the RTO mandate was to encourage people to quit so they wouldn’t have to do layoffs that would #1 effect the stock price and #2 mean they would have to pay unemployment.

Good on everyone who stuck in there to make this as uncomfortable as possible for the dipshit CEOs.

Mainstream media playbook 101. When your narrative isn’t taking hold lean on fear mongering.

He’s a Floridaman now. He’ll feel right at home in the land of self righteous douchebags.

You need to reread what the judge said when he set her bail. When the rich become afraid for their lives they send their law enforcement after those people they are afraid of and they fill the jails that they own with the people who have inspired their fear.

All this fervor is not going to result in a changing of healthcare. Not with our newly minted Republican Congress and a douche canoe for a president. No all of this is going to result in a curbing of our free speech rights and a deadlier police state than we already live in. To say nothing of what’s going to happen to our voting rights in the next 4 years.

She threatened the ruling class. And in a feudal society are not allowed to do that.

You are assigning far too much thought to how people voted this go around. I think it’s more basic than that. I think it’s just straight up apathy. Along with a good bit of confusion that was juiced by one of the richest men on the planet. Who just so happens to own one of the largest social media platforms that has ever existed.

Conspiracy theorists fall into the hole of trying to boil down complicated problems to just one singular factor. But it’s not. It’s very very complicated and there’s a lot of things that need to be done to fix it. My personal hope is that one of those will be that this absolute win by the Republican party and Trump in particular will be the the ax that takes down the Democratic party and allows us to build a new one in its place. But that’s kind of a pipe dream I think. Old dogs die hard. Plus there’s nobody out there who wants to step up and push the Democratic party out of the way. Bernie would be the obvious choice but he doesn’t seem interested in taking leadership role in a brand new party to oust the old one.
