I'mnot talking about as a worker, but as a consumer. You do not have to give your money to these places. If you value convenience and familiarity over customer support and workers' rights, the problem is with your position, not mine.

Tell that to my cat who does anything and everything in her power to drink out of mugs and half full glasses when she has a nice wide fountain full of fresh, clean, filtered water 5 feet away.

You're right, I guess we just shouldn't try. We should probably just let corporations do whatever they want with no meaningful pushback and keep making our lives worse.

It'll be our fault because we accepted these practices in the first place.

Why should the customer have to hand-hold shitty corporations while we pretend, againt all past evidence, that they're ever going to learn to do better, when "doing better" isn't their goal?

It's not our job to fix bad business practices by rewarding them with continued business while they lie about "figuring things out." It's our job to condemn them to failure and bankruptcy for their atrocious anti-human behavior, and we're failing miserably at it due to our toxic collective preference for short-term convenience over quality and long-term societal and economic health.

My recommendation for anyone, but especially IT, is to learn how to use LLMs as they will be pervasive before you know it.

Better idea: stop doing business with companies that do this.

A lot of us live in apartments and choose not to be obnoxious assholes to our neighbors. Wheres the sound mix for us?

If you have to keep changing the volume throughout the movie, the audio engineer did a bad job, period.
