Everytime a plane skids off the runway you hear about it in the news, sorry your congressman didn’t personally send you a letter about it.

Snowden wasn’t leaking military mishaps last I checked.

Literally every US mishap makes the news, are you high?

How many reeducation camps does China currently operate, again?

Not even lesser, there’s always a chance that a more extreme person/system replaces them.

Yeah, not using it isn’t going to help you when the bottom line is all people care about.

It might take junior dev roles, and turn senior dev into QA, but that skillset will be key moving forward if that happens. You’re only shooting yourself in the foot by refusing to integrate it into your work flows, even if it’s just as an assistant/troubleshooting aid.

ProtonUpQ hell yeah

The fuck it is, if 8 years is enough for the president it’s enough for Congress, Senators, and the SC Justices.

If we can pass down the office of president every 8 years there’s no reason we can’t do the same elsewhere, does it take a decade to learn how to vote or something? Are we lacking in judges?

There are other levels of office, there isn’t going to be a shortage of experience just because we require term limits. Even if there was I’d prefer an inexperienced person than someone who sits on their hands all day and just votes according to their oligarchical masters whims.

What’s the other option? Let them stay for life?

The issue isn’t lack of experience, it’s that never having to worry about losing the job makes them useless. Watch how fast they get shit done that directly affects them, it was never about lack of ability, the current politicians are just intentionally useless because they all benefit from the status remaining quo.

I agree, everytime I see someone saying how improved this place is I just think “wtf are you seeing that I’m not?”

It feels like this place took the worst of reddit, not the best.

How is a corporation going to signal boost someone in a website they don’t even know exists for a platform of a few thousand reliable everyday users when they have no presence with which to “boost” it?

now exists in the world and is impossible for you to do anything about.

Is the corporate astro turfer with us in the room right now, demesisx?

There’s a snowball’s chance in hell that corporations are spending their time and money trying to convince the few dozen active posters and few thousand commenters of anything. Most corporations with a PR department probably don’t even know Lemmy exists let alone has a significant enough number of users to matter to their interests.

Even if all of that weren’t true, you’ve still done nothing but created a community which I’m sure takes all of the time that setting up a new voice channel on discord does. Congratulations, you’ve created a place where random people who don’t agree with you will be framed as corporate imps for having an independent thought or knowledge of how the world works that you just can’t wrap your head around.

“Impossible for you to do anything about”

Lol it’s like watching Jerry from R&M leaving the day care and being told that he was always allowed, we really couldn’t care less but you’ll take this criticism as “those darn corpos trying to ruin Lemmy!” Instead of people calling you out for providing nothing and then pretending you are some activist striking out against the man.

Depends, if you mean for the average user then it’s good, but still overpriced as hell, and you have to deal with the Apple philosophy of “we did the thinking for you, if you dislike our choices it’s not matter of preference, you’re just wrong” no matter what.

Enterprise use cases you might as well pitch your Apple products in the trash, they won’t work and you’ll spend more time figuring out which USB-C Thunderbolt to 10G SR optical fiber converter actually works than you will getting productivity done.

This is exactly what’s going to happen, the idea that corporate entities are even aware of us let alone investing resources into convincing the few hundred commenters on Lemmy of their opinions is ridiculous.

This will just turn into “oh, you have a dissenting opinion? You’re a corporate shill.”

Can’t wait, we’ll lose even more people and then I’ll end up just going to Tildes exclusively as the echo chamber becomes even more severe than it already is here.

On the third hand it’s pointless cause they all buy each other’s data anyways.

In the military when learning ORM we called this the “swiss cheese” theory.

The more layers of sliced swiss cheese, the fewer holes that go all the way through.

Yeah like JFC the most insecure way to access the Internet let’s just open it up to the whole world.

Depends, modern electronic triggers and airburst munitions can yield smaller nuclear detonations without the fallout of traditional “slap two chunks of uranium together” style nukes.

Not sure exactly how much room a tactical nuclear device would need but it’s possible to do it without taking out the entire place, yes.

Didn’t we already know that?

The issue is if you tune them out what’s left? It’s most of the content here.

Hell just the other day there was a “what new tech thing have you done this year?” And 95% of the responses were just some variation of “Installed Mint/PopOS!/Endeavour and started using Firefox.”

Like it’s great that you’re making the transition, but I was hoping to hear what new self hosting service people got working on their home server, some new residential network installs for security platforms, etc.

Not just “I changed browsers.”
