It’s not authoritarian to use technology to improve people’s lives. If you’re in a public place, you’re subject to being photographed by any number of circumstances both human and machine. How to balance it so that it isn’t abused is a valid argument to have, but disregarding tech because it could run amok isn’t a reason to forsake it altogether.
If you’re in a tech job, working from home should be the default. If you’re in a service job, working on-site is a requirement. This can have a negative impact on a company overall because you may have both in your workforce, and the ability to work from home breeds resentment and impacts morale.
Amidst COVID, our office workers were told to return to work. The reasoning was a perceived inequity held by the field workers toward those that sit at a desk all day. Nevermind that having everyone return up’s everyone’s chance for getting infected. Truth be told, those forced to come in would rather risk that than be left out.
For me it’s scanning vs. reading. Too often I’ll think I’ve read something, react to it, only to see after the fact that I missed something because I was in fact -not- reading but scanning. Email is an example. I get so much of it, I scan and skim, and inevitably get bit by this bad habit, often more than once a day. It’s a disservice to the person e-mailing me, I know, but there are a LOT of people and I suppose the (poor) rationale is that at least everyone is getting some attention. I know it’s better to get to what I can and things that I can’t just need to wait.
This is incredible.
Is the freedom to drive without feeling like you’re being watched more important than the prevention of texting while driving?
During my commute, it’s common to see people looking at their phones. I don’t know what the effect is without statistics, but seeing an accident along the way is a usual occurrence.
Don’t worry about it, accept it as a stage of life and do it with style. Start cataloging a lot of zingers aimed at young people being foolish and practice your delivery of the word “dumbass” so that it can be used to end most sentences.
As a casual viewer of LTT this is surprising. The show seemed relatively wholesome and helpful, but obviously I missed moments to the contrary that people are pointing out now. Being an infrequent watcher, seeing threads suddenly popup that call for Linus to step back/step down are like whaaaaaat. Internet is a fast moving place.
Bout the size of it.

This is the Way.
Boom shooter, OG FPS, I don’t care what you call it. Just more please.
Money is no problem. I’ll include that in my search. I guess burn in isn’t a problem anymore?
I love ultrawide for work, and like it for FPS and racing. However, anything with a mouse driven user interface where I travel more to click action bars, shortcuts, etc. gets on my nerves. Then there’s older games that don’t support ultrawide that display black bars instead. I think there’s more to like about a larger 16:9 for me when gaming is concerned.
Do you have any advice on dealing with these issues I have? I reckon it doesn’t bother everyone.
Only to look at the logo occasionally. Wondering who’s idea that was and whether they’re still employed or affiliated with CNET.
It was. Thanks. I was somehow getting into the more overall settings of Tampermonkey.
They will lose some money, with the consequences of a recession, only to gain it back through corporate welfare and a return to business as usual as the recession ends.
Lemmys that have been touched by the Warp and fallen into Chaos.
It’s not like they’re going to go broke. They’ll just lose some millions over the vast gains made with bad behavior, get bailed out with tax money from the little people, and do it again in 10-20 years after regulators retire or get replaced with ones sympathetic to business.
I bought and played Diablo 4 but got bored. Waiting for Blizzard to enhance the end game / seasons so they’re more interesting/on or with D3.
