I guess it’s not convenient to have Microsoft and Apple scan your company images and employee emails. Even take screenshots automatically if they can get away with it.

Appearently other countries are fine with this, which surprises me much more.

I guess the corpo version of windows have these sort of things turned off? But ms can turn them on whenever they want.

@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

1984 , 4 months ago

Be careful what you wish for. It’s very good for us that those people stay where they are… Otherwise this place would be Twitter.

I used to use a lot of nvim but actually went to Jetbrains now at work… It’s just a lot easier to work with for teams.

Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

Can't get this brain fart out of my head.

What would the simplest, FOSS, alternative look like and would it be worth it?

Quick thoughts:

• FOSS platforms intended to be big single servers, but dedicated to ...
• Shared/Single Sign On
• Easy cross posting
• Enabling and building universal Multi-platform clients.
• Unlike email, supporting small servers

No duplication/federation/protocol required, just software.

Single sign in to the fediverse seems awful. Then we are logging in to it through American big tech servers. Forget anonymity and no tracking. Probably see ads on the login screen too.

But otherwise, sure. A single server is not always a bad idea. In practice, this is how Lemmy is too. Most people are on Lemmy.world, and they picked that server because they don’t think decentralized is important.

Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."

What a nightmare!

They are forced? It’s illegal to quit?

These are people who refuse to leave Twitter, no matter how bad they are treated there. Maybe they should learn to quit instead of taking drugs to deal with the job.

I know American work culture is “don’t quit”, but come on, there are limits… If your work place is actually insane, you should quit. :)

No wonder this Elon fucker laughs all the way to the bank.

I'm starting to find some of the cooler aspects of the wider fediverse.

For instance, Lemmy is a Reddit clone that is picking up some migration after the recent hooha or at Reddit.

The cool thing is that it's federated (same as mastodon, different instances and everything).

This means that you can subscribe to any community on Lemmy, for instance

https://lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts

through its fediverse address, right here on your mastodon instance:

I like how you are talking as if you are on mastadon when you are on Lemmy. This is going to get confusing isn’t it…

Now I want some kind of a Lemmy tag that shows if a post comes from mastadon, just to understand context…
