Would add this is not exclusive to large corporations either. My smaller employer is also struggling hard because leadership simply cannot prioritize. Everything is either not bein…

Oh yeah for sure, I'm not suggesting the fine is bad, I'm suggesting it's insufficient. I want to "yes and" this, not replace it. Fine them, and incentivize change for them and all…

> You dont need deeper understanding of knowledge for everything. Ask Grandma whether she needs a chemical engineering degree to bake apple pie. You've clearly never baked before. …

Maybe so but DuPont continues to pollute the world even today. I'm happy this fine happened. I hope it gets enforced, though in the current political climate I too have severe doub…

You should. Emotional truths get people killed and buildings burned just as effectively as real ones. Arguably even more effectively than real ones.

As I said: > You can disagree with all of these points, and give rational, logical arguments to them. And most of them I would agree with you! But just because YOU don't think ther…

This is the emotional truth that a lot of people are just not seeing. It takes so long to build trust. It takes seconds to obliterate it. And big tech as a whole has been obliterat…

Right, which is why my suggestion is that we skip fines, because they demonstrably don't work, and we go directly to: you, $executive_at_facebook, have participated in the distribu…

Oh yeah, wasn't meaning to imply we didn't agree. I'm just expanding on your point.

> It's just that just as with "digital CD music is quantized and sounds worse than analog" got exposed as nonsense, the same way "I can tell it's AI and that's why I don't like it"…

Seconding this. Incredibly useful feature, especially on sites who's JavaScript is constantly jerking the DOM and/or scroller around. So fucking annoying. It's frankly wild how man…

Why would they? What's your recourse as a consumer if they fuck up your hardware? In the extremely unlikely event you manage to get it in front of a Court, they could point to the …

I do deeply enjoy that apparently among gen-Alpha, it's a common thing to say when someone says something really stupid, or makes something of poor quality, to call it "AI." The ki…

It's hard to articulate this stuff, and especially hard to explain it to the AI infatuated among us because they don't really want to understand why people dislike the tooling they…

And the Steam version is distinctly better to boot. The XBox Store version last I tried just straight up didn't work. Microsoft's gaming division was in an absolute shambles and th…

The mass media loves to talk about ANYTHING besides the ongoing decay of the west, largely facilitated by it's own ineptitude at the game it designed. We're losing because we outso…

Power management still sucks on Linux AND windows for that matter. Ridiculous how every other UX is just left to rot, it’s like no one else even tries besides Apple.

Valid pushback! That said going through the MIT study quickly (and I may be wrong, feel free to correct me further) it doesn't seem to include CO2 from overseas shipping of materia…
