‘using a service without paying for it’ alright. do you want us to sign contractual agreements before visiting websites? Most companies want people to use mobile apps these days because of the legal implications of editing those apps. The ads are baked in.

it comes down to the philosophy of internet systems you ascribe to.

I’d like to see your reaction to that television patent that forces people to stand up and clap after the advertisement.

I’d like to see your reaction to me placing sticky notes on my physical screen over the advertisement’s location such that I never perceive the content.

I’d like to see you kneel, subordinate human worker. Do my bidding. Watch my ads. It’s the moral thing to do.

this article is itself a synecdoche of shitty management? oh, the irony!

30 years ago, people were moving away from sexism, and racism.

what ? my liberal friend, you’ve been in an echo chamber since birth. welcome to the real world. sun down towns never stopped existing. the glass ceiling never shattered. dropping racist slurs in the company of white friends never went out of fashion.

you are just too poor to know anyone who isn’t performatively liberal

Okay lets do the litmus test:

What do you think of Israel?

What do you think of the C.E.O.'s who encourage policies that deny warranted health care?

Did the URSS create famines? (I’m leaving this one in here because it’s a hilarious typo and you deserve to understand how silly you look)

zitron is godly

force companies to pay for the data they scraped from copyrighted works. break up the largest tech conglomerates so they cannot leverage their monopolistic market positions to further their goals, which includes the investment in A.I. products.

ultimately, replace the free market (cringe) with a centralized computer system to manage resource needs of a socialist state

also force Elon Musk to receive a neuralink implant and force him to hallucinate the ghostly impressions of spongebob squarepants laughing for the rest of his life (in prison)

its unethical to … not listen to your shitty boss. gotcha.

Ever met a Lemmy poster? The overwhelming majority of them have no morals or integrity. There’s a reason why. It’s because they get to post while not being around people - it attracts people who suck. Not all posters suck but the overwhelming majority of them do. I can’t post something that will suddenly make some of them read it and go “By gum… I should become a better person!” But I can post some shit that might make their posting more difficult and possibly get OP banned which might be funny in a chaotic-evil kind of monday morning shitpost way.

this is a similar argument to the nazis. this is how bureaucracy and management normalize oppressive conditions. a bunch of weak yes-men

I’m a little upset with this issue because its a constant issue i have at work.

maybe find a new job where you don’t act like completely garbage manager? or work to find a human centric solution rather than… oppressive digital technologies?

I hope you end up with a neurolink in your skull and are constantly monitored for wrongthink.

you drivers could actually mange your fucking log books and follow the safety regulations

you are part of the reason everyone hates management. the overburden of society by technofascists like you will result in many horrible repercussions down the line.

giving nerds any power over workers was a mistake

“this ilk” go back to reading the silmarillion like the nerd you are

property owners behave like aggravated rats

go back to reddit please. save us the pain of downvoting you

maybe people want to talk about the deeper meaning behind the jab . does that make you uncomfortable? there is a nice place called Reddit where you might fit in, if so

yeah, because those are necessary for survival? like, fundamental components of a comfortable modern life? being forced to subscribe to things that used to be one-and-done purchases is ridiculous attempt to make us rent our pleasures. have fun with that

no one cares what happens on twitter. no one worth listening to, anyways

you know enough about the model for me to immediately distrust your opinion on the matter. why don’t you head back to ycombinator or whatever hole you crawled out of

FIT YOURSELF INTO THE PROPERLY SHAPED HOLE OR DIE
