GizmoLion@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•‘They Treat Us Worse Than Animals’: Working Without Water at Amazon31·2 years agoThat’s why I’m fully pro-automation. Automation makes everyone’s lives easier, it removes the burdens from the backs of people. For every job that someone doesn’t have to toil at we have the chance for them to find something they actually enjoy and excel at it, maybe even push the boundaries in some way.
People think they fear automation, but that’s not the enemy. The enemy is the politicians who are so far behind the times, and in many cases corrupt to the point they’re actively working against the people they were elected to serve, that our system simply will not adapt to these boons we’ve developed. There’s just no reason we can’t feed every mouth in America if the will was there in the people pulling the strings, but that doesn’t line their pockets personally and the people in positions of power don’t give a rat’s ass about you or your family.
Honestly it feels like all the pieces are there to build something wonderful, but it wont happen unless we’re willing to knock down the shitty “it’s what we’ve got” house of cards narrative.
Trillions of packages delivered successfully, but because some idiot thought waxpaper was a good packing for cookies we should throw out that system? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how such a system would work at that kind of throughput.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•Biden administration to urge Americans get new COVID-19 boosters11·2 years agoThe least they can do is either number or codename the shots. How do I ask the local pharmacy if they have the updated shot? “The one they’ve been working on for a while?” “Just came out?”
Call it booster shot #, give it a more interesting name, or call it an amalgamation of the strains it targets.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Patch submitted to the Linux kernel by a 4 year old.21·2 years agoWhy not be the change you wish to see, then? Fork it, and surely they will come.
That or Linus’ work is of high enough quality that people are willing to put up with his crass behavior.
Also, somewhat unrelated, but comparing Linus to Elon is a nonstarter. Elon has money, but contributes little more than ego past that. Linus, on the other hand, actually gets his hands dirty. I don’t care for his behavior, but I do respect someone who actually does the work.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Patch submitted to the Linux kernel by a 4 year old.2·2 years agoYou’re right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•A quarter of humanity faces extreme water stress -- and it's poised to get worse, new report finds4·2 years agoOne has to wonder to what degree this can be prevented if we stop doing stupid shit like growing water-hungry crops in Arizona and allowing megacorps to pump without limits…
Sounds like the exact same thing, just slightly more abstracted. How many hurts is a dying?
Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs92·2 years agoPut a banner outside saying “no gratuity necessary, the price you see is the price you pay!” and watch what happens.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•Family of Utah man shot dead by FBI after threats to Biden say he was ‘frustrated’4·2 years agoHow the hell did this headline get past the editor??
This sounds like the FBI shot the man’s family after he threatened Biden, saying he’s frustrated.
It’s hard to put much stock in their interpretation of the facts when their attention to detail never graced the headline even for a minute…
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might pay12·2 years agoYou say “occasional use”, I read “given time for dust to collect”.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•Gene variant in people of African origin helps control HIV, says study1·2 years agoPretty sure this has been studied and known for a LONG time now. I remember hearing about it sometime not long after the initial HIV scare.

GizmoLion@kbin.socialto Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•Google's trying to DRM the internet, and we have to make sure they fail1·2 years agoAlright we’re done here. Go annoy someone else with your ranting.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•Google's trying to DRM the internet, and we have to make sure they fail1·2 years agoYou’re not interested in debate or discussion. You’re a dedicated white knight for gimp and all it’s jank, and you’ve no interest in engaging with the points made by others. Your best counterarguments are to either attack the person you disagree with directly, or what boils down to a “nuh uh because it works for me!”.
If you want to actually discuss this do it in good faith or stop wasting our time.
GizmoLion@kbin.socialto Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•Google's trying to DRM the internet, and we have to make sure they fail1·2 years agoYou’re a one man logical fallacy machine just reusing the same lines over and over. Just go away.
You wish lol. In truth they can serve this to as many users as they want, and catch garbage outlier responses.
