You forgot to call it fascist. That’s a word people with that attitude tend to throw around a lot.

Zima ,

this reminded me of a quote from a tv show i'm watching. "Hell is just the product of a morbid human imagination, The bad news is whatever humans can imagine they can usually create"

Zima ,

severance.

Zima ,

sounds like typical manufactured outrage from journalists trying to improve their CTR on their non-news..

Zima ,

I don't think he wants to fight you for it.

Zima ,

Is it usual that all the family and even therapists side against alleged victim? I think it's not impossible if the person is so traumatized and troubled to the point that the family rejects her but I struggle to believe that is the usual case.

Zima ,

I think you clearly can show that it's possble but that doesn't mean it's likely the articles suggest it but they don't have any statistics to back it up. there is no equivalence between being poor and conspiring to get someone's money and cutting out someone from their inheritance.

I completely disgree with your view that if you have money you have to help family even if they are radioactive to you. in some cases it's best to take distance. especially if the other person is so troubled that whenever you help it just backfires because they can't stop the drama.

I don't doubt that most sex workers have trauma issues or even childhood issues, the part I'm not finding easy to accept is that it's likely that the family would usually side with the accuser.

Zima ,

they wanted him back but he had the condition that they made an apology letter and cleared him of any wrongdoing. that's when they changed their minds. if this is about not apologizing to save the company they do seem incompetent.

Zima ,

vague allegations of abuse are only evidence for clout chasers. while she might be a victim she only started talking about it when his brother became successful. the link you shared also says it's essentially her word and there is no factual evidence, is also very suspicious howall the family decided to side with the brother.

Zima ,

I hope they look into how they are treating desktop clients as secondary devices with extra hassle. I'll try it if they address that.

Zima ,

Hopefully this becomes a case study of how not to antagonize your customers when launching a product.

Zima ,

acquire a new hobbie. hopefully something that is hard to monetize.

French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history (usa.watchpro.com)

A French company (SilMach) backed by Timex Group is claiming to have opened a new chapter in watchmaking with the creation of a silicon motor that matches the accuracy of quartz-based movements with the elegance of a mechanical watch’s sweeping hands.

Zima ,

catching up to Seiko with a copy of their springdrive is neither unique nor an innovation.... it's a copy.

Zima ,

are this the ones that are killing whales?

Zima ,

labor disputes are not technology

Zima ,

by that reasoning we don't need magazines since it's all part of the same universe.

Zima ,

I wasn't trying to put a show for you. I only followed the stupid claim to it's stupid conclusion.

Zima ,

that makes zero sense. without a universe to live in we can't even have labor.

Zima ,

The mental gymnastics people go through to miss the point. I will try to make thos short so you don’t get confused again. Non tech news should be shared in generic news or specific groups related to the topic.

Zima ,

fortunately op seems to be dedicated to mostly spamming musk ads so i blocked him.

Zima ,

It seems that he has not even taken the time to understand the basics of how to find a job with a 10 page resume.. let alone 24.

Zima ,

I think his point is that the person he responded to is proposing well meaning feeling based policies without having any real knowledge of any of the negative impacts his policy would have.

Zima ,

Nvidia is pretty cut throat so the chances of them doing something wrong are high, but i'm not sure about the chances of finding evidence. they must have effective policies to defeat investigations, most big companies have them.

Zima ,

I finally ran out windows 7 keys and had to buy a new one for win11, they cost 4-9$ online.

Zima ,

i randomly picked a shady website i found by searching "windows 11 pro license key purchase"

Zima ,

I think that the most disappointing aspect of obama's presidency was that he did not do anything about china imposing those bullshit rules. he should have imposed some balance or outright make it illegal for those companies to put themselves in a situation where their ip's will be sucked dry.

Zima ,

I think the article should focus on how everyone or most people at work do keep up with the times. At least when I learned my teachers understood this issue and focused on providing a good theoretical foundation on which you can build on, the particular technologies are just examples of what's available at the time when you are being educated, it's not the actual focus of the education.

A New Low: Just 46% Of U.S. Households Subscribe To Traditional Cable TV (www.techdirt.com)

The “cord cutting” trend cable execs spent a decade claiming was a fad just broke another round of new records. According to Leichtman Research, major cable TV providers lost another 1.7 million subscribers last quarter, as users flock to streaming, over the air TV, TikTok, or, you know, books. Roughly 17,700 customers cut...

Zima ,

it's crazy that about 50% pays to watch ads.

Zima ,

you have to click on the arrow down. looking at the number of favourites on your comment, if we all did that I think it would stop.

Zima ,

I will never switch to something that only treats phones as "primary device" and adds extra hassle to support PC as a "secondary device". I also find very concerning the lack of understanding of the value of anonimity even when communications are private, they even mock people that want privacy and anonimity.

another non-deal breaking but still telling issue is the lack of a clear roadmap for signal.

Zima ,

I am not looking for anything specific since i am not planning to use it, the issues I pointed are deal breakers as I said.
Regarding the roadmap,I only expect them to share it. They have talked about their vision and desire to be self sustainable. It would show they have a clear plan even if it involves testing features.

Zima ,

that can be gamed like most a/b experiments. just keep measuring and adjust your metrics and time window until you get the results you want. doesn't matter if 99% of the time you would have reached the opposite conclusion.

Unity cancels town hall over reported death threats (www.theverge.com)

The Unity pricing debacle has taken an unfortunate, dangerous turn. In a new report from Bloomberg, the company has reportedly canceled a town hall meeting due to what the publication called credible death threats. According to Bloomberg, Unity CEO John Riccitiello was set to address employees Thursday morning, but the...

Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates (www.windowscentral.com)

Microsoft is done supporting the original Surface Duo, three years after it first launched on September 10. The company has stated from the very start that the Surface Duo would receive just three years of OS updates, meaning today is the last day that Microsoft has to stay true to its word....

Zima ,

they had a chance but decided to self sabotage . they have no chance now that they are using android. who would pick them over the real version?

Zima ,

If you want android you'd normally go with a phone that is supported by the main contributors /maintainers. doesn't even have to be made by google. but I think that was already pretty clear so you might just be a contrarian. please correct me if you actually had a point.

Zima ,

you might be right but some numbers might back up your claim. I doubt that servers could heat water as much as a nuclear reactor. datacenter coolers certainly don't have to pressurize the water to prevent it from boiling, it doesn't get that hot.

Zima ,

It would give them time to stop offering services and degrade a few since competitors are under the same pressure.

Zima ,

i hope they can be dazzled/jammed in a way that is not illegal. just have bright lamps pointing up or something

Zima ,

I like this one, it's difficult to blame anyone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIOh9-RoAaE

Zima ,

I am not buying them after amazon acquired them. who knows what alternative uses for the cameras they might implement.

edit: my next one is probably going to be a roborock. they seem to handle dry/wet cleaning better as well.

Zima ,

I think they could have made it less clickbaity and more ojbective if they focused on the fact that the repair guy offers a better service since he will try to repair the components instead of just swapping them for new ones. in this case the official tech service wanted to replace all the components that showed damage. that's not unreasonable. again they should have focused on the good parts of the third party service instead of trying to frame the official support as a scam.

Zima ,

I was interested in this game until I learned it won’t have support for dlss

How Mozilla Ruined Firefox (invidious.lunar.icu)

Firefox used to be on top of the world with almost a third of all internet users using Firefox. These days, they make up a pitiful 2.7% of the market share. What happened? In this video, I want to show how Mozilla’s terrible management and decisions have brought this once beloved browser down.

Zima ,

They lost me as a user when they decided i wasn’t smart enough to manage my installed extensions so they effectively implemented a “time bomb” to disable them while promising that they would update the certificate before the current one expires. Well they didn’t and broke firefox Iirc it took them 1 or 2 days to fix the problem they created. I don’t have confidence in them after they messed up like that.

Zima ,

Unless you have no hobbies and no free time You can lead by example and show them.

Zima ,

Unfortunately the fediverse is very appealing to doomers and people who are jealous of those who have more than them. you can see how some of them call for the assassination of wealthy people in other threads.
