So Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the entire world. They have a stranglehold on corporate America, power a huge the cloud infrastructure, hold one of the largest sources of telemetry/user data, and are the defacto standard of PC environments worldwide.

Why in the fuck do they need to pivot to ads? I’m genuinely curious. Even if they lost 50% of their entire business they would still be one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Im glad DeepSeek open sourced their model. Even if the goal was to destabilize US companies, I think it's a blessing the tools can go to anyone with a "powerful enough" computer.

And to be really honest, I don't like what the tech companies have done with AI in such a short amount of time. I'm glad they are getting the piss beaten out of them. All these AI companies will do whatever it takes to destroy human labor pools so they can absorb a fraction of our wages.

The sad part is, they are after a fraction of a wage that is already undervalued. We are all struggling because of corporate greed anyway.

Friendly reminder that Exxon themselves independently discovered their own business contributes to climate change waaaayy before it became the political trap it is now. He is arguing in bad faith and knows it too. Hold his feet to the fire

There was once a union employee. When Reagan fired the air traffic controllers for striking “illegally” the big companies did hardcore union busting. This employee, young and with a family, was suddenly thrusted into a world with wages racing to the bottom. People being fired for any or no reason. Strike? Say hi to your scabs.

I know this is vague, but it’s real. Edited for privacy, but real nonetheless. Fuck Ronald Reagan.

Edit:

The biggest problem I have with “smart tv”s is the fact that nearly ALL of them lag to some extent. Doesn’t matter if it’s a remote press, switching an input, even turning the thing off has some amount of delay.

It seems like they would have been better off making subways not gonna lie.

This is the best news. It’s one thing for AI to assist, it’s another to replace. Fuck em

Excuse me, WHAT THE FUCK? 193 MIL?

I honestly don’t want to be federated with Threads or any social media giant. I really enjoy the organic discussion and lack of advertisements in fediverse compared to a strong amount of paint by numbers discourse/ads ads ads on the standard social media

So this is an editorial with some data cited so I will attack it on those merits.

1. The job market is largely a dog and pony show. Companies have all the power in the world when it comes to good jobs. The “golden job market” is for low paying jobs that suck to do. Rates need to go up full stop.

2. They are correct in housing being a huge issue for both Z and Millennials. It missed the shot however for failing to identify corporate inclusion into the housing market driving up costs. Not to mention the parasite class known as landlords which has been a problem since the era of Lords and Serfs.

3. The inflation argument is a misdirection. Look at corporate profits. The capital class is literally bleeding the worker class dry, while also lowering the quality of service/products.

I could go on but I encourage others to actually read the article and form your own opinions. CNN isn’t as biased as Fox or MSNBC but they ultimately put a liberal (as in liberal markets) spin on the news they choose to report.

Omg. This is fucking awesome. I’ll tell you what, my child is 100% cool ;)

Bane of my existence. These game companies lock in and I bet my left pinky toe cuticle they sell our data too -_-

Aren't there like actual crimes to catch or solve? Holy smokes what a jerk.

Does everything have to be a hustle? Fuck

I use these at work. That is a sleeve style clamp used to seal off leaks

That’s great to hear. It’s a nice little program suite for at home, and I hope one day it can compete against Google/Microsoft’s offerings

Considering a big problem with conversion on Reddit is people just reacting to the headline I’d say it’s a win. I’ve noticed here when people do comment it’s more nuanced because they actually read the article.

I gotta say that even though it’s not for me, I’m glad this device exists!

One way I was able to land a job was doing the old fashioned “speak to the hiring manager and shake his hand”. She said out of all the online applications (hundreds by the way every month) I was the first person to actually go up there and express interest. Still had to put in the online application, but a week later I interviewed and got the offer.

These businesses love to dehumanize the employee pool when they should realize it’s so easy these days for them to get in the exact same position.

Of all the politicians he is the realest of the real. Never stops fighting for the PEOPLE
