  • You lost me at "CEO says"

  • Carbon offset credits are a greenwashing scam.

  • I agree and am on the same page. For a year or two I've wanted to leave tech (which is crazy since it's been my hobby for basically my entire life). I'd love to start a cafe, maybe get into woodworking, or something outside. The problem is that I feel like I have no practical skills outside of tech stuff.

    I've also considered starting my own tech consulting business for local companies, because at least then I'd have control over use of "AI" bullshit.

  • Wrongful detention sounds familiar

  • Some dropship crap from Amazon, unfortunately.

  • I won't say it's common, but some sellers do use Amazon to dropship stuff. It's annoying to me too, I hate when it happens and I'm always sure to leave it in my feedback for the seller for others to hopefully find.

  • Yes, there is indeed, but I'm keeping track of how many they switch between. That's the count in my original comment. I saw them tell someone say that they only switch between "a few".

    I shouldn't have to block more than one account to not see posts from one user.

  • Just found it? Companies like Amazon have been doing layoffs under the guise of AI for a couple years now.

  • Gotta break the two party system and the electoral college for it to be feasible. I would love for that to happen.

  • That is literally what I'm saying, yes. I take it you have never worked on the operations side of data centers?

  • You can find their list of accounts by searching. They didn't need to provide it, and last time they did something like that, they ended up using more accounts than they claimed. I'm not going to unblock someone like that, especially not just to see more content from them that I'm actively trying to avoid.

  • That is not true, they have multiple data centers. I completely disagree on the costs as well. A single high capacity switch can cost tens of thousands (of which they have probably hundreds) and that's not even mentioning storage, electricity, rack space, server cost ($$$$). The land is the cheapest part of data centers.

    Have you worked in or with a data center? It was most of my job for 6 years.

    I didn't mention Steam's cut of sales, but I do want to mention that you can refund steam games as long as you don't play them for longer than 2 hours. This is actually better than GameStop or retailers who normally only accept returns of sealed, new copies. So I'm not sure why you'd being that up when it defeats your point.

  • If I somehow found a way to leave, it certainly wouldn't be to Japan. They're just starting the same rise to fascism.

  • My cats have a blast inside and don't hunt birds to extinction or get run over by cars. I'm fine with it, and so are they.

  • Yep, same. Plus they live healthier lives indoors and are far less likely to be injured.

  • Oh yeah, we're on the same page there. She's in it for herself.

  • I bet all households in Kansas have gender neutral bathrooms. Obviously not public, but still.

    Add some commercial bathrooms to the mix too. They gunna outlaw those?

  • Also people that let their cats outside are part of this problem.
