This is my first time hearing stakeholder primacy as a term. Can you elaborate on what the grounds you’d sue the stakeholders on? Ie what is the legal premise that you’re proposing you can hold them accountable for?

I agree with this and I’m glad we have graphene OS at the same time for the moments when I no longer want this to be the default option.

I hope to see more reasonable takes like this - weighted with reality, not just reinforcing what people want to hear.

How is the west white supremecy? You sound like a racist when you say that and it hurts your credibility, especially in a larger conversation about some of the other points you mention.

Go walk into a tech building in the west in the USA and you’d find that white people are a fraction of the workers present, and even then it’s European transplants also in the office. It is unironically very diverse. Teams I worked on were not strictly white people or majority white. And taking it even further - why be racist in the first place?

They’re tasked with infinitely growing their stock price. That is a suicide job. Working big tech in the USA sucks right now because there’s no concept of just maintaining and maintaining something well, unless you’re Valve and steam

I worked directly for one of the two biggest log and search systems for big data for years and I can tell you that there is always a way to correlate data lol. And the data you don’t have you can always buy to help put the missing pieces together.

If your data is being collected then are you really private or anonymous? I can think of a lot you can infer simply from metrics in a client, time window of connection and a few metrics. That’s just removed.

That’s not true. We used to collect client and server data both to detect issues and even if it was only in a subset of customers there is just some customer facing QoS issues you wouldn’t find unless you were collecting data, that wouldn’t be found on server side for example. Like let’s say iPhones make an update and you’re doing video streaming, maybe certain video formats would lag when streaming to the player but not on an android or vice versa.

So you’re telling me that a vaccine for a sickness with basically 1 year R&D to production turnaround time doesn’t cause you to think twice, when a regular prescription can have side effects and need to be changed?

Think of any experience you’ve had with anti depressants or reoccurring drug as a prescription: it’s frequent that people have these changed out because of the adverse side effects or lack of effectiveness. The joke used to be that a commercial for medication would quickly read out side effects on TV for 20 seconds straight.

What I’m saying is the complete lack of any critical thinking before taking the vaccine is disturbing.

That is a ridiculous amount of work and jabs. Do you find that there is near to no sickness then? In the USA I find that COVID is seasonal for everyone here no matter how many vaccines you’re getting. In other words, I’m curious do you find it makes a difference keeping up with it?

As for politics - in the USA the structure of what decisions below the president get made can sometimes change during a term because Democrats and Republicans basically play musical chairs when the opposite party is president. So it might be a democratic figurehead for a president at the top but speaker of the house is Republican and maybe the justices are Republican in decision making. Trump appointed new justices during his time that made a lasting impact with abortions during Biden’s presidency for example. More relevant to this conversation and topic they both had different stances on vaccines relative to their core voters. Trump appeared skeptical at times of Dr. Fauci who was chief medical advisor to the USA.

My GF and I were talking about vaccines and COVID, mainly doubts about them. We both got the vaccine pretty quick. A lot of the talk was about how a healthy skepticism of the profit driven US healthcare system leaves room for doubt. It’s not like the vaccine made us any less sick or prevented us from catching it, or transmitting it. So we were asking ourselves what was the point?

Ultimately we landed at a pretty logical conclusion which is that the widespread vaccine seemed to ultimately drop the total COVID rate down and we seem to catch some variant of it similar to the flu once a year now. My sister works in healthcare and she usually knows when COVID is making the rounds. I don’t find myself leaning antivaxx. I am skeptical of the Trump and Biden administrations both though in the USA. It’s all too odd how willing people are to put their faith into the vaccine with literally zero doubts.

Even if you don’t agree with any of it, thanks for posting the news. That’s interesting.

Wondering how these magicians measure quality of service then, since they collect no juicy data. I find this hard to believe.

Can someone tell me how decentralized money became the enemy? It is decentralized currency that is like everything we stand for literally using mastodon protocol here.

it’s not the creators fault that the first thing the userbase did was centralize it onto these marketplaces lol. I’m reminding people that this is conceptually great but terrible implementation, across the board.

Going to add that it seems like you could easily run an LLM bot to just do a yes no on whether a post looks like a bot.

So your solution is make Lemmy like reddit ya fuck that.

The first thing people do with free speech once they realize people have it is limit it. Mods will always come out of the wood works to ban bots its nbd.

When you go just ask if there’s cars or models without the car itself having a SIM card but that still has carplay. People love to drum this stuff up but they still make dumb cars. There’s usually like 3 variations maybe 4 of each model. Go lower on the model to get less features but still the right amount of them.

Having my lights turn off from a voice control is really useful when I want to take a nap but I found that it was weird having all this shit tied into a strangers cloud (google, amazon, apple, whatever). If its hosted at home its usually just fine. As long as ET doesn’t phone home.

Dude wipes coming in clutch. Watch me clean my asshole all day long friends.

I don’t think I’m going to smell anyone’s asshole in a nearby future and I pray you don’t either, friend.

Wipe until clean, spray your anus with water, just get the job done and shower often.
