They were probably nude

That's not what they're saying the issue is though, the issue is how it's redistributed. In fact, what you're saying quite literally is the living example of anti-progress.

It could be fine in the current state if companies paid people fairly, but they don't, any progress or efficiency that could have been made was stifled by the company pocketing the ex-employees wage. Rather than supporting the current employee by giving them a raise or a team of members to work with, it's taken.

To put it this way: Bob and Janet are janitors who split their work equally. A new tool the company bought is able to cut their workload down by 15% each. Now Bob and Janet only have 35% of their work, instead of 50%.

A good workplace will support Bob and Janet in various ways, making them both more efficient by being able to accomplish more tasks.

A bad workplace will fire one of them, making the work load for one of them to 70%, without supplemental pay.

That 35% of value Janet brought is no longer going into the economy, it's going into the corporate profit.

It's very efficient. That's why corporations do it. Now one worker is extremely overworked and underpaid, but the job still gets done and the company makes more money? Sounds like a win.

Why not? Not you, I mean but why not have it as an option?

Frankly I wouldn't use it either, but I can absolutely see the appeal. Sometimes you want some warm tones, sometimes you want cool tones. Maybe you're having a Green party for 4/20 and you're playing Green Day and watching green videos idk.

Lol dumbness aside, my immediate thought was "this seems like it could be nice for those who sleep to videos" - I know that I don't always want a white-blue heavy video but something darker and red

If it unwraps when you aren't holding it, is it really a burrito?

[-] wolfshadowheart@slrpnk.net 9 points 9 months ago

I don't think that's true. Opossum has the "startled" perk and Racoon has thumbs that allow for lock picking and wielding.

Reading through the lemmy.world responses is just disheartening.

Gonna sideload a browser while I mainload my game

I know this is for Jeroba but boost for lemmy has a filtered words list, you can definitely add spider to it.

It also used to have hide on read/downvote for the reddit version but it may not be implemented yet, as I can't find it in the settings. Anyway, sorry for suggesting a different app!

It can be ~~totally~~ tonally jarring. I swear all the time, but if I threw some swears in my comments from my history then the messages behind them would be weakened.

CW, an image example of the content described in this thread. Hateful content. Linking to a comment of mine where I post a screenshot. My spoilers are iffy on mobile so for now please consider this link a spoiler tag for the CW

This was shown to me on my personal Instagram, my partner is heavily involved in our queer community. I was shocked when I saw this post on Instagram, then I saw it was from Threads. Way to fucking validate my position about every reason I've been giving to defederated from Threads.

I was searching for hours today for somewhere to post this. I ended up finding just a random community with a somewhat relevant post just to get it off my chest since there's nothing to really do about it. But thank you for this post, I only hope that this is the push people on the fence need to realize that Meta shouldn't be embraced.

It's sickening. I'm so sorry for everyone who is just looking for a place to express themselves as they are, now on the verge of being hoarded by these type of people.

On an aside but regarding Threads federation - are people's smaller servers even equipped to be able to handle the potential traffic of Threads users? Or would it not work like that? Like, if a link to my comment above for example were posted on threads and it blew up and 25m people were trying to view it... Wouldn't that effectively DDoS my instance if it's not able to handle that kind of traffic?

And threads is supposed to be a good thing somehow. Psh.

Very easy to mod it thankfully

For reference, the Steam store of the gaming distributor Valve charges 30% of each sale, however the Steam service provides quite a bit of incentive. Having community and discussions easily accessible, cloud storage that links to screenshots and saves, branches, I'm sure there's more.

Meanwhile Spotify gives you, what, playlist creations?
