THEY JUST HAVE TO PEE!

Don’t you love when you play devil’s advocate and everyone assumes you support something? It’s called having a bit of perspective, people. Yes, it was a shitty thing to do. People generally don’t do shitty things without some kind of reason, usually a ‘selfish’ one.

The simplest explanation is that dude needed more money, couldn’t otherwise make it, so he tried to game the system. He failed, likely because he didn’t consider where that money was coming from. Had the company he’s driving for paid a decent wage in the first place, dude would likely not have been incentivized to game the system.

EDIT: I want to be really clear: I do not support what the dude did. At all. His reasoning for doing so may be valid, but his actions were not.

I wholeheartedly agree. You should also be able to fix it if it breaks, and find replacement parts fairly easily. Hell, you should be able to make reasonable upgrades if you want.

If you only knew about the materials extraction, refining, manufacture, and assembly of electronics. It’s immensely complex and relies on legions of underpaid workers in a huge variety of different specialties. 99% of them aren’t paid nearly enough for the labor they contribute to the system, and even less for the knowledge they have. Never mind the actual development of the software to run on the hardware. The whole thing is designed from the ground up to literally extract as much wealth from the Earth itself as humanly possible, and they try to double dip at every opportunity.

What about those of us that aren’t using Lemmy?

Something the money that Meta won’t be paying won’t be paying for.

Sorry chooms, I won’t be chippin’ in.

I mean, what do you expect them to do? Shit’s hard, nobody has any savings. I sure as shit wouldn’t want to lose my job just because management gives everyone some new bullshit metric to be aware of, especially if it can be made a non-issue.

Anything to avoid learning to empathize with others, eh?

Anything that scrolls infinitely and provides content via algorithm. Shit, it’s harmful for anyone, but especially impressionable teens.

Yeah, well, they went on a banning spree, getting rid of anyone and everyone speaking out against Trump, Cuckerburg, and the Nazi regime. Including me.

I doubt we’ll ever recover from this.

Yep. 9 times out of 10 Uber will refund me basically instantly, and I don’t have to talk to anyone. I’m able to put in complex delivery instructions, put a pin on a map where it needs to be delivered, and even provide photos of where I want my stuff dropped off. I don’t get that elsewhere, and nobody seems to be able to find my apartment without any of it.

If y’all made it easier for folks without a degree to emigrate, I’d be there in a heartbeat. As it is, your country has decided that I’m not worth having around. I doubt y’all have much need for anyone that can solder electronics, anyways.

I haven’t seen one, but I also haven’t looked very hard, so I bet if there is one it won’t be very active.

At least it isn’t a Jacob horse.

…and making molotovs is easy, from what I hear.

It absolutely could.

It will when some down-on-their-luck working man gets fed up and shoots him over it.
