Without additional qualifications on the term capitalism, that is a terrible definition of capitalism.

[–] fkn 14 points 1 year ago

This is such a weird take... how far removed from reality are you to actually believe that authoritarian feudalism is a form of capitalism?

Wealth accumulation is not capitalism. Capitalism enables wealth accumulation, but the opposite isn't true in the slightest.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

This is a terrible argument.

[–] fkn 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are making just such a weird argument and it sounds like you are retroactively trying to salvage a bad position because you made a mistake.

  1. If you care strongly about audio quality. A built-in doesn't have any quality guarantees... why then does usb vs hat matter?

  2. If quality is your concern why bring up price in the first part? It is blatantly obvious that cheap parts *might" equate to cheap quality. This is blatantly obvious.

  3. Obviously there will be USB solutions that are equal or better solutions than prebuilt rpi dac hats since the primary dac hats are exceptionally niche.

This response just sounds like you got caught out in your mistake/bad argument. Why be a dick about it?

The magic is you can't tell the difference between honest tankies and lying fascists.

What boomer bullshit is this?

Millennials and zoomers look for new jobs because businesses don't treat them as adults most of the time. I got told by a boss that "Millennials are too young to know the value of hard work." Bitch, I'm 35 years old. Companies don't offer reasonable salary increases or promotions.

Want to keep zoomers? Pay them commiserate with experience. Give them level/title bumps. Treat them like adults.

I hard disagree with this. Zoomers do not want their company in their personal lives.

I am a millennial and I do not want my company in my personal life.

We are not a family.

Companies should provide opportunities for employees to bring their families to fun social engagements, if they want, only after the company has met all other employee requirements.

Having a group of people that like to work together is important, but trying to be a "life coach" is some boomer shit if I have ever heard any.

Edit: furthermore it is so disgustingly condescending. Just because you are a person's manager means nothing outside of work. Work mentor yes, "life coach"? Get that garbage out of your brain. I would immediately hate working for anyone who has this mentality.

Edit2: I cannot express how utterly terrible, condescending and offensive this thought process is. Fuck. I would go over your head or quit so fast. Jesus Christ this makes me irrationally angry. 💢

No. Not in the slightest. If you think that we should vote to defederate from csam before we defederate from csam you have something wrong with you. If you say "that's not what I mean." No. That's exactly what a democracy is.

Should we have a responsive, responsible team that makes decisions for us? Yes. Is it a democracy? Fuck no. Is it nice that they listen to their users wants and needs? Yes. Should their be transparency in the process? Yes.

The larger they get the more prone they are to becoming problematic. HOAs are a great example of this and require way fewer people before it's an absolute shit show.

[–] fkn 4 points 1 year ago

That's true. Some of the communities are great... but there were way way more, way larger, way more active communities on Reddit that were great in the same way too.

[–] fkn 8 points 1 year ago

I actually experience the opposite. Others have posted about it in this thread as well. If your views deviate slightly on some topics it's way worse here than on reddit. The Tech Bros / Open Source Stan's here are insufferable. There was a post yesterday that said it should be illegal for video games to not distribute their source code... And the opinion that companies should be able to own the thing they made was heavily downvoted and ridiculed.
