Honestly this response says more about you than anything else.

“Have to go through a union instead of a supervisor or manager.”

Like anyone wants to go to an Amazon manager.

I really doubt this for factories in the US. Whether you follow celebrity news or not, Musk’s name is all over the place for one reason or another. US workers absolutely know what’s going on.

guacupado ,

You’re right. They’re buying F150s and Expeditions because that’s much better for us.

guacupado ,

Range, performance, and features. I hate Musk as much as the next person, but let’s not act like Teslas aren’t the standard for EVs price-to-performance wise.

guacupado ,

The same reason Trump couldn’t keep a press speaker for more than 6 months at a time.

guacupado ,

He wanted to keep things running about as much as any other Republican. He was literally blaming Democrats when shutting down the government is pretty much a normalized annual thing from the Republicans at this point.

Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don’t agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram::Meta is considering offering ad-free versions of Facebook and Instagram for $14 a month – but only in Europe.

It really is kind of crazy how angry people get now at the thought of paying for something they use daily.

That’s what a lot of Linux people miss. They’ve been dealing with it for a while already so a lot of them are like “it’s so easy!” and then they have to start explaing repos and containers to people and the person just sticks to Windows.

guacupado ,

It’s weird you talk about how easy it is but your only example is with very public people where all you need is a Google search to get their info.

guacupado ,

They stopped working. They don’t need a bailout. The unions these workers give money to every paycheck are supposed to be going towards this stuff. Even if you sound like an idiot, I get what you’re trying to say but it doesn’t make sense to have a program for people being fired or laid off giving money to people who already have a source of income. It’s unemployment, not universal income.

guacupado ,

Ironic you compare it to a bad sci fi movie and that’s exactly where your knowledge is coming from.

guacupado ,

Tell me you know nothing about data centers without telling me.

guacupado ,

“And you pause training while you dont.” lmao I don’t know why people keep giving advice in spaces they’ve never worked in.

guacupado ,

The article here is literally talking about a company that wants to.

guacupado ,

No datacenter is shutting off of a leg, hall, row, or rack because “We have enough data, guys.” Maybe at your university server room where CS majors are interning. These things are running 24/7/365 with UU tracking specifically to keep them up.

guacupado ,

Yeah I don’t think these people saying they won’t don’t realize that this can end up at wage garnishment.

guacupado ,

Sounds about white.

guacupado ,

This is the part that blows my mind. When you have a money-printing machine like Fortnite and you still manage to lose money, maybe it’s the CEO you need to be firing.

guacupado ,

Why do people always say this as if these forums are some niche group and not a huge spread of the general population?

If you’re seeing multiple communities with a general opinion, maybe it’s “people hate them” instead of “why do all these different groups hate the same thing?”

guacupado ,

Yeah. We all know how much Walmart is struggling to make profits.

guacupado ,

It doesn’t affect me, so fuck who it does affect.

Nice, dude.

guacupado ,

Anyone who left Reddit did it voluntarily, my dude.

guacupado ,

Zero reason to stop. Until this is put into practice it’s just another article promising a future that isn’t here.

guacupado ,

These “development costs” are creating beta-level games and you don’t even just pay $60 for a game anyway.

Street Fighter 6 is $60. Street Fighter 6’s TMNT content alone (not including the base game) is $100. They have more than made up for any development costs with the ridiculous amount of “DLC” and MTX.

guacupado ,

Yeah but in PS1 days those prices got you the full game.

guacupado ,

Crying isn’t always about pain. Babies can’t talk and don’t have the capacity to realize what’s going on. A lot of their crying can simply be chalked up to the frustration of not being able to communicate, not necessarily from pain.

guacupado ,

No it’s not, but it is better than nothing and still pretty good on its own merit.

guacupado ,

I don’t really follow teeth stuff but don’t we already have teeth replacements today?

guacupado ,

You’re moving the goalpost. Is it enough? No. But there’s one party where it happened and another party that literally did everything they could against it. Both parties are definitely not the same.

guacupado ,

Huh… This is pretty clever…

guacupado ,

Mean slap? Chris Rock wasn’t even expecting it and barely flinched. Will Smith is as pussy as his wife makes him look.

guacupado ,

Why do people from Chicago think their version of everything is the best? No one likes Chicago versions of anything outside of Chicago.

guacupado ,

Massive population, massive ignorance, and massive poverty.

Is it actually cheaper than the big fish though? You could have four people devote a full year to a single multi millionaire and you’d probably still net more than their annual pay. Hell even if you just matched it it’d be worth.

guacupado ,

You didn’t need to wait 3 years to enjoy it. That’s on you.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started a new position and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy in order to get your food when it would literally work perfectly fine ordering to a real cashier or shit even a website rather than having to...

guacupado ,

Is it otherwise free? People seem to hate ads but love using free stuff.

40 artillery systems is a lot of coverage. Holy.

I’ve always thought that self-driving cars won’t be mainstream until local departments of transportation are actively aiding in surrounding recognition for these vehicles. Cities will need to make sure their paint is maintained much more often so that yellow and white lines are much more easily recognized by AI. Also need more of those LED street lights with the hoods so that the colors of the light better stand out. I’m sure there are also better way to make signs more readable to AI as well, but all of these needs to be done with the help from local governments. Autonomous vehicles get better the more other autonomous vehicles are on the road.

guacupado ,

Corporate daddies know how to make things usable for the everyman.

guacupado ,

This is still a weird take. Russia can’t even beat Ukraine. I imagine any attack on Poland would be quickly dealt with. That said, I know fuck all about wartime logistics.

Meta is bolstering perks like happy hours and company swag as it pushes staff to return to office, despite its 'year of efficiency' (www.businessinsider.com)

Meta is bolstering perks like happy hours and company swag as it pushes staff to return to office, despite its ‘year of efficiency’::The company has revived a number of employee perks, according to Bloomberg, including branded t-shirts, laundry services, and free haircuts.

guacupado ,

I did and still am.

Happy hours never went away. Swag also never went away. I don’t know if the writer here actually knows anyone or just overheard someone talking about that stuff and assumed it was new.

Covid did reduce the amount of stuff being bought. Freezer went away so ice cream went away. Less alcohol in the game rooms (though no shortage during happy hours), custodial stopped working on weekends (not too many people here anyway, just don’t leave food in your trash bin anymore). They cut a “health” allowance from 3k to 2k =(

Anyway, it’s easily the best decision I’ve ever made. I make twice my city’s median household income. The push for RTO blows (I’m convinced Lori/HR need to justify their existence). At first it was 3 days, now we just got told two specific days (happy hour days are going to rotate, RIP). There’s even a whole HRIS system in place for compliance tracking and all kinds of other wasted money/man hours that went into this. Makes no sense. They keep reference “the data” and “studies” but aren’t showing us what they’re saying. Nevermind that the C suite all got Exceeds Expectations after having to fire dozens of thousands of people (we still believe executive performance = company performance).

Things are coming back since our stock is back to starting with a 3. The only thing that pissed me off was how many laid off people’s positions were re-filled like 6 months later. It’s like the layoffs were just to get dilute the blood in the water that investors were looking for and hearing about a bunch of layoffs make rich people happy. Other than that, my team is amazing, my manager is awesome, work schedule is extremely flexible (single with 2 kids, I don’t know how I’d manage at any of my previous places I’ve worked). There’s the usual “cost saving” bullshit (although, there are honestly a LOT of areas that have been streamlined without any real detrimental effect, so kudos to that) but honestly that’s not Meta-specific. Meta just makes the news because it serves 1/3 of the planet.

Also, we make fun of Reality Labs for not being profitable and we don’t give a shit about Threads because it was made in a few months by a few people. Twitter isn’t really that hard to emulate.
