The ensh*tification continues. Time for community git to somehow be federated like lemmy.
Some sort of encrypted collective sharing of the whole through BitTorrent style shared hosting.
I would seriously consider donating a few TB space and half my bandwidth to that.
The even brighter side of it is that it should be easier to spot these companies when job hunting.
IMO: Demand higher wages and iron clad contracts from them because they already demonstrated how they feel about paying people.
They’ll surely cut anyone they can again as soon as they can.
I am not a follower of his, but I am certainly an advocate for de-<insert mega tech company name here>ing having just finally rid myself of Micros**t, which was preceded by getting rid of almost all of the family streaming subs.
The Steamdeck is actually a great device for this simply because it is a very functional pc in desktop mode. Throw in a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, with even a generic dock and it can rival most laptops, especially with the added video capabilities it already has.
I find myself using it as a pc almost as much as a gaming device, just because it works so well for both.
I’m not convinced you would need to rise up. Just collectively stop going to work. The house of cards falls pretty quickly on capitalism if there are no workers to exploit.
All the power is in the populace if they all agree to take it back together.
It’s the laziest thing a person could do really. Just stay at home, ration food and wait until the billionaire folks lose their minds.
I’m not advocating for the US. The idea of arguably the most aggressive regimes in the world somehow coordinating the timing of their next big moves is just a bit terrifying to me.
I agree with you, but my tinfoil hat is telling me to dig a shelter, preserve food and start making ammo. You know, for game hunting.
I keep getting this sinking feeling that this is all leading up to a precise and coordinated attack of evil.
Russia bombards the EU, the US attacks Greenland and Canada, while Israel finally bulldozes Gaza and Iran. China takes Taiwan and the south sea.
All at the same time so NATO is overwhelmed and can’t decisively defend it all without risking spreading too thin. No matter what happens, one of the bad guys gains ground.
I honestly have no idea if this is even possible, it’s based on a dream I had a few weeks ago.
Disturbing thought though.
It was real in 2023. It was quickly and aptly named the dickyberg.
That term alone should net you the appropriate search results to confirm it.
I’m surprised they can get insurance at all after all that has happened.
Forest fires are no joke.
Prepare. Stay informed. Listen to the authorities.
If they tell you to leave your home and evacuate, leave.
Use it to hire most of the best minds to be found with the sole purpose of creating an expansive infrastructure to provide regular people the means to organize as one.
The undertaking would be staggering. Reviewing all the known history of man, considering all the languages, cultures, failures and successes.
Researching and combining all known technologies.
All to set the groundwork for a global union of human kind to be able to collectively counteract the disease that is the upper most classes.
After much daydreaming on the subject. I think this is the way of long term existential survival for the human race.
TL;DR: Basically, the Star Trek federation.
Ok, so not really bright, but visible. I smell the plot to a bank heist movie.
And blinded by security cameras?
Seriously, wouldn’t being able to see infrared basically make you see night vision cameras like they are street lights?
Strategy.
No, your half-baked, half-plan you stole from an intern, is not only not good, the last guy tried it and we are still trying to fix that mess.
I’m not sure if it really counts as a buzzword though.
The pay rate of the lowest paid worker of any company or institution should be somehow legally and directly tied to the pay rate of the highest paid executive.
If the executive wants to make more money and gets a raise, then so do the workers.
Thanks for this! I’ll check it out.
