Whenever anyone tells me that capitalism leads to efficient solutions or some such BS, I point them to things like this.

Truth Social co-founders accuse Trump of trying to rip them off in merger in c/[email protected]

Shocked, I tell you.

Yelp says going all in on remote work boosted job applications by 43% and led to a more satisfied workforce in c/workreform

[–] circuitfarmer 37 points 10 months ago

I'm glad to see a company speaking out the other way (even though I don't really care about Yelp).

The writing is on the wall in my view. A company not being remote-first is a company bogged down by middle management, real estate obligations, and an oblivious c-suite.

So true.

A favorite screening question of mine: "What makes you want to join [company name]?"

Ugh. I need a job and you're my 20th application today. The world runs on money. The end.

how many times have you seen the error "403 Forbidden" when visiting websites on Google or such? in c/[email protected]

[–] circuitfarmer 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is the right approach, but also want to mention, some sites actively block VPN IPs. Sometimes I see 403s which don't persist if I switch servers.

I hope you have a great day today.

People should direct their anger towards capitalism, rather than being upset with artificial intelligence in c/unpopularopinion

They're also used to make less money -- by the people whose jobs will be replaced so that those up top can make more money.

AI at this point exacerbates the wealth gap.

Confusing perspective in c/[email protected]

It's a really interesting composition. I'm not a fan of these kinds of things being called "unaltered"/"unedited", because after a bit of searching I can't find any evidence of that. But it certainly is not a composite.

If it's shot on film, it's possible the saturation is natural, but I can't find metadata anywhere.

Amazon Turkers Who Train AI Say They’re Locked Out of Their Work and Money in c/technology

Many companies are using AI to generate AI training data. Most of them are data brokers where the margins are becoming razor thin. It's totally a bad idea, but it is definitely happening.

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use? in c/[email protected]

The media library is the ONE reason I haven't switched to Deadbeef. Everything else seems close enough.

Annoyingly, there is apparently an updated Medialib plugin for Deadbeef, but only on the Mac, since the dev is a Mac person.

Oops, I just commented about Foobar2k before seeing this comment.

Just want to mention that it does run on Linux as a Snap (though then you have to have a Snap installed, lol). I'm sure it runs fine with regular Wine too.
