Maybe lets not try to pretend that it is just about the costs shall we? I bet MBAs will cower at the suggestion to put up a paywall from the beginning. Afterall, bait-and-switch is their bread-and-butter.

Subscriptions weren’t the norm when we actually paid for something and got the full product. The cost to run things didn’t suddenly become a factor just now.

Only thing that changed: greed of businesses, execs, shareholders.

Sure… it will just buff out

No need to convince anyone. Trump presidency ensures their will is implemented.

When meta abuses entire countries and skirts regulations… i think a fucking $25 meal card is just petty bullshit.

Stop licking corporate boots.

Driving isn’t supposed to be as stressful as this comment put it. If it is then you shouldnt be allowed to drive.

If you have to defer to the law as justification for doing something purely selfish… then people will judge you to be an asshole.

Edit: Not you personally.

I do the same… and i guess i am burnt out by lack of interesting and consistent work to do.

aspects of my job I absolutely hate:

1. Maintaining a DLL( or shared object) in a large piece of software where my team’s scope is so narrow that we are just a conduit between two other processes. bugs get introduced by behavioral changes from upstream or downstream.

2. No real exiciting problem to solve.

I learnt Compiler design, Complexity theory, Concurrency, Algorithms, etc in college. But I look at bad code that does if (boolvar) return 1; else return 0;

3. Constantly get shuffled around on tasks by my manager who goes into panic mode if his supervisor asks about something.

Its essentially a trade of your soul for writing emails.

Really? Are you really genuinely ignorant or you simply can’t fathom that non-US people not only exist but also lead happier lives?

bears eat beets. Bears, beets, “Battlestar Galactica.”

It doesnt get boring hearing about how judges demolish bodily autonomy of women and commit other atrocities in the name of corporate freedom.

Its quite simple really: if you want profits then you should get it honestly. Otherwise you don’t deserve the profits.

Have a lot to say =/= have all to say.

Then how does $HOME make sense here?

I don’t agree with that user on most of the stuff but when it comes to israel you guys make them look like a normal person.

What about using tilde to denote home?

Like if your local library got a copy of Book X and then when someone wanted to borrow it they just copied it right there and let you keep the copy.

That’s how it works in the rest of the world.

Its fair game because my comment got removed on lemmy.world for criticizing Israel.

Pro palestinian comments get removed on lemmy.world. Some people have the same argument as you but about diametrically opposing idealogy
