We should all be bullying companies more… Less bullying people and more bullying companies and orgs!!
Yes people make up a company blah blah blah… Don’t care. Just don’t bully the people working there.
And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.
I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.
Oh Nazis deserve to just be punched (nonstop).
You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa. That was hilarious.
An old meme once said:
The only good nazi…
You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa.
Yessir
So, cyberbullying and toxic gamer communities are very much a thing and definitely a problem, but I have to admit, that story really did make day… I laughed for a while, I shared it with my neighbors, it’s still fucking funny!
You know, the thing is… the whole mess was entirely Elon’s fault. If he just wanted an escape from his stressful life, he could totally just play the game and it would work out fine for him. But because he felt the narcissistic need to live stream it (because he apparently desperately needs others to tell him how awesome he is), he got his stupid face kicked into the mud. And that’s really on him…
There’s definitely a power dynamic aspect to bullying. Bullying down? Or bullying another shmoe? Not great. Bullying a rich powerful asshole? Different story.
Followed by his Starlink connection dropping out.
Bullying a bully is not bullying.
huh I definitely didn’t delete this
Every company I’ve ever worked for deserves to be bullied.
Honestly that’s letting the bastards running those companies get off light
The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don’t attack McDonald’s employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.
Well yeah I said leave the people working there alone and target the corp or org. And my reasons are what you just outlined in great detail. They are victims of capitalism.
Just don’t bully the people working there.
What if they’re C-suite
Key word is “working” people. C-Suite don’t work, just tell others to work.
They aren’t people, they are demons. So my rule still stands 🤣
Who do you think should be next?
Boycott all shitty companies… We make a list and we keep adding shitty companies to the list and present a list of alternatives.
I am really staring to detest most of the biggies. Amazon. Nestle, google. I’m not even American and I think the health companies need hounding.
I’ve spent a good portion of the past 5 years detangling my life from them. The unfortunate hard one I face is amazon.
All companies need hounding in this hypercapitalist situation we have found ourselves into.
Amazon has been the easiest to get rid of for me. I just stopped buying shit. I’d rather do without than continue supporting this. My Alexa’s got dumped. I just need to replace my firestick and I am done.
Its the subscriptions, it makes my monthly stuff easier to manage. Other grocery stores have merged anyway so it’s kinda watching 2 monsters fight, either way we are fucked lol. Alexa I get that. The firestick is decent hardware for the price you can try side loading Kodi and using that to bypass all their amazon BS. That way you get their subsidized hardware and avoid their ads.
Do you think we need a crusade group? I noticed a story about a tent group making money out of the camps earlier. Maybe we can all torment them. Happy to give a portion of my day bullying corps.
Deserved. Fuck Adobe!
adobe will charge you $20 a month to read their skeets then charge a $100 cancellation fee if you want to stop following them.
what are skeets
Slang term for ejaculating, usually with some projectile distance implied. Very popular term in the mid-2000’s, see Get Low by Lil Jon.
Skeet skeet motha fucka
Skeets ahead or behind?
Tweets, but BSky. It’s gross on purpose because the devs didn’t want it to catch on and they Streisand’d. They’ve since embraced it lmao.
Apparently tweets, but on bluesky
The CEO asked people not to make skeets catch on, so of course that’s the word for them.
My skeets always catch on.
I’m guessing blue sky version of tweets
That’s correct. It’s stupid so I just say tweets.
It’s $20 for the readers bundle, $1289 per year if you want to see photos and comment.
i like how i didn’t even know they were on bsky because they’re already added to the The Great AI/NFT/CRYPTO Cull blocklist.
great, cant view it because it wants me to log in…
It’s not “it” that wants you to log in, the devs created the site to be entirely public. but users demanded an option to hide their profiles from logged out users. Any hidden posts are because the user explicitly set the flag in their own settings
The api endpoints are still public btw. Third party clients can see these profiles just fine :| not a fan of that decision tbh
if that is the case the site should really do communicate that better. on another post I have seen a warning in the post body that the user’s setting makes it hidden. I understand that. but here? I’m just greated with a login wall exactly like on twitter or facebook, with no communication whatsoever, other than “log in or pound sand”
heh, not a local problem, even archive.org captured it: https://web.archive.org/web/20250411034219/https://bsky.app/profile/rayday.bsky.social/lists/3jxwojift2y2n
fuck you, bluesky! knew all the time you are not a little bit better than twitter & co
They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.
by charging them alot for using thier services.
#adobyephotoslop
Roffflllll
These days, bullying is used for good.
Greatjob Bluesky, One less Adobe monopoly
I was so happy to help in ensuring it ocurred
im still rockin a cs6 version. works fine on w11ltsc. fuck the cloud and fuck ai.
I remember reading a story a while back about someone who owned a legit CS version with a proper serial and activation.
They had to change computer, and in doing so had to reactivate Photoshop, but it wasn’t working. They contacted Adobe support and explained the situation but support basically told him nope, not a chance, we aren’t helping you. You need to subscribe to new Photoshop.
So Adobe accepted that yes, he bought a perpetual licence for Photoshop and that yes, the reason it isn’t working is the online activation, but they still refused to help.
Scumbags.
yupp, its not possible anymore. you have to crack your your own bought photoshop.
I have to open PDFs all day long at work to read our schematics. No I don’t want an “AI assistant” or an “AI summary” on drawings of electrical wiring. And I need to close multiple menus to get rid of them, and the only option is “disable for this session”, no way to permanently turn them off
Why dont they get bullied on X as well?
Consider X’s current audience and you’ll have your answer
Same thing happened with Proton.
proton did it to themselves by embracing the us and their fascist leader.
And the CEO just did it again, because apparently it wasn’t enough backlash the first time.
Oh lord, what now ?
Source?
It’s in French, but here’s a link:
https://www.watson.ch/fr/!884988581Basically, Yen did an interview for Watson (a magazine) where he talked about the swedish government encroaching on encryption. He got political when he started talking about how all of the Swedish government officials were useless bureaucrats, and praised the US government’s methods instead.
You’re gonna need a bettet source than that, because this article and your comment say very different things. Why do people upvote comments like this one?
The Switzerland part:
There are three problems to be insulated. First of all, by extending the scope to a larger number of companies than was previously regulated for a few telecommunications giants, a massive expansion of Switzerland’s surveillance state is in fact being carried out.
There have been cases where we have seen demands against climate activists in France, we have seen situations where Catalan independence leaders have been unfairly targeted. I have many other examples that are not yet public about inappropriate targeting by the SCPT Service, which does not make any verification.
Switzerland is not a favourable land for tech start-ups? The Swiss start-up ecosystem is now more competitive than Germany, more competitive than the EU, more competitive than the US itself. But with this consultation, we are making it much less attractive by imposing massive obligations and burdens on small businesses that do not have the resources to do so.
I couldn’t find the US is awesome part though.
mic_check_one_two did not mention anything related to Switzerland. They’ve mentioned Sweden.

Because reading articles is hard, better to blindly trust a headline and summary comment. People on Lemmy wouldn’t lie to me, would they?
they would surely fear the shame their names would get if it turned out they were lying, don’t you think?
because they don’t read it. has a source? must be true!
Where does that article say anything like that? I could find neither a mention of Sweden nor of the US.

and yet all those “use eu tech” charts always recommend proton products
It’s weird. It’s like there’s some kind of paid advertising campaign using bots who are never seen outside of shilling their company for some reason.
Yoowut, link?
I assume that’s the VPN proton and not the linux compatibility layer proton, right?
Correct proton.me email/VPN/drive’s CEO Andy Yen
https://xcancel.com/andyyen/status/1864436449942110660

Andy used proton’s official accounts to voice his political stances for the regime. They have since retracted the statement but it’s still worrying to say the least and something to keep an eye on if you use their services.
I’ve been using them for years and don’t think it’s quite time to jump ship because it is the best option for me, but I’m keeping a close eye to see if it worsens and starts affecting the company in a negative manner.
What would be a good alternative to Adobe After Effects ? Something that works in the same way.
I only used kdenlive an open source Video editor, I do not know how similar it is to AE though. With kdenlive I can …
- cut and arange video snippets in a timeline
- apply effects like transform/lens (many more) to video
- I can apply simple audio effects with the pitch effect, or generate white noise. Slow down Video
- they have AI-effects and audio editing in their roadmap …
Sounds similar to AE from what I read on its wiki entry
That is a video editor much like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro, so would not be a replacement for AE. After Effects is essentially Photoshop but with motion and animation. It’s mostly for VFX and Motion Graphics. Not video editing or audio.
I use Blender for that, too. Anything I don’t do in Blender I probably do in emacs…
I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.
Thanks for sharing, This might be good enough in the future looking at the roadmap.
I’ve replaced my Adobe Audition with Reaper. I do recommend it
I didn’t, but I do want more people to switch to Reaper so that they can get more money and keep getting better.
Finally lost my reaper purchase after nearly 15 years. Remember when buying it at uni thinking of been a bit hard done by I was only supported till like version 7
Is it possible to learn such sorcery ?
