Amazon ‘Uses AI in Warehouses to Predict Whether Workers Will Join Unions’

Reply in thread

I cant afford most of this bs virtue signaling.

last I checked the mom and pops died out already.

I mean they killed the mom and pops shop by piggy backing on people who didn't virtue signal enough. If it's cheap and Chinese, its bad, but if it's on Amazon, it's good.

It was easy to undercut independents, when you pave a way for a system optimized for monopolies. It's not like it wasn't obvious, and Amazon isn't that old for it to be boomers fault.

So you reap what you sow?

Keep complaining about people virtue signalling valid concerns and soon Amazon will decide what/when you eat, and you'll be happy with it.

I'm not defending RMS

Even of he was a pedophile, RMS is not your responsibility

You're brain is likely pickled more than the person you're responding to with that word salad.

I know your brain is probably pickled from the internet

You call someone out on picking on Stallman unprompted as virtue signalling, but you don't recognize when you preface with your own virtue signalling, do you?

Making something important in the past doesn't make them a saint for their entire life and taking back things you say on the internet is a lot more easier than nonchalantly saying bullshit in real life, from the moment you write it, edit it to the time you press post.

So yes, imo, you're trying to defend RMS statements. Defending and trying to do damage control for someone else's problematic statements like this on the internet is fucking cringe.

But i hope he sees this, man. 👌

Employee commits suicide after MongoDB fired her during mental health leave

Hawkernews being unhinged capitalists as always:

aeternum: 18h

Sad.

And perhaps a controversial take but consider the counterfactual: Should it be illegal to fire employees that recent took mental health leave? Get a bad review or put on a PIP? It's already becoming a common strategy to immediately take mental health/sick leave.

0xbadc0de5: 3h

This is sad and tragic but ultimately I don't think Mongo bares any responsibility here. If her partner left her while she was having a prolonged mental health crisis, would her partner be to blame for her suicide? I would argue: no.

You're just an expendable cog to the money machine to techbros.

DOJ goes after US citizen for developing anti-ICE app

Reply in thread

The developer chose the correct platform for that then. It's an apple only app.

His excuse? Android requires him to store databases of user IDs, but Apple does it themselves so it's more "private". There are tons of opensource push notification platforms available on Android that you can sideload. But seems like the developer wants the limelight than anything.

Also my honeypot senses are tingling.

YouTube deleting videos documenting Israeli human rights violations

If you've been on the internet for a decade or two and can't find news you clearly remember that happened about the big corp, tech or the government, you know these ghouls work together to shape a narrative. They scrub the internet clean of it.

These companies (big tech and news corps) being a monopolies isn't a coincidence, authoritarian governments like it when they have direct access to narrative control.

Needless to say, archive everything you think could disappear, in multiple places, and possibly in regions of their geopolitical rivals.
