Get Murdock news outlet malice. Go.

Get Facebook malice. Go.

Get Twitter malice. Go.

Get Reddit malice. Go.

Get Google malice. Go.

Cool.

Do it with Murdoch owned news outlets.

I know I bought Elite Dangerous Horizons on steam for like 80 bucks and played it for a while, and now no matter what I do, I cant get access to the game. I get bungled in third party account sign ins.

Sounds like the genera is cursed. There is promise, but the developers just leech money and obstruct access to the game.

But dude, Star Citizen ships are the NFTs of tomorrow!

Think of the fat stacks you’re gonna get when the game drops, the plebs cant buy the pre-order ships and you take them to resale!

Your mom.

Yup.

I was in the computer sales department.

We were flat out told what the lies were, and how to make them more convincing.

The service contracts were non-refundable, so it didn’t matter.

When a manager caught me helping a retiree get a cheap setup to email her grandkids instead of getting them on a line of credit for a top of the line gaming pc, they didn’t even fire me. They just stopped scheduling me hours and told me to keep coming in to get my schedule.

Picked up a blank schedule for 5 weeks before I stopped going in and I’m sure they filed no call no show paperwork when I didn’t show up for my 1 hour 3 weeks later.

Fuck best buy.

Ya.

I worked there when they launched a membership thing, and it was points to gift cards that got printed on receipt paper in hopes the barcode on the carbon paper would fade before you tried to scan it, not any actual price reduction.

Kind of like how there was all that fine print in the 200 dollar service plan that made it sound like you got more, but it was always just the manufacturer warantee, so if your device qualified for manufacturer warentee, geek squad would give you the cheap out fix, and get the preemo replacements and put them into stock. If the manufacturer warantee didn’t cover it, you were fucked.

35 percent of billionaires are not white.

492 billionaires exist.

It’s 2024.

Rich vs poor is a larger issue that white vs not white.

It’s not 1700 when all the rich were British, or 1850 when all the rich were white.

All this rhetoric is outdated.

If you want to talk about oppression, talk about the CEO of Infosys and how he has crippled India and a very large stake in global technology.

Nah, just irritated about an Aussie trying to stir up racial conflict in America with bullshit rhetoric.

I don’t see how my ‘hardships’ as a middle class white australian-american who moved to the US come into it. I’m describing how I observe the US to work.

Oh, so you are just some rando with no business in the conversation throwing muck at the wall.

Gotcha.

Makes it worse that you are spreading that kind of rhetoric.

As productive as this conversation has ever been.

Yes, rich people are more likely to crowdfund their rich friends.

Yes, an century ago America was deeply racist against freed slaves and their children.

My blonde haired blue eyed ass grew up in Chicago regularly having those PBJ cracker rations the nurse had for lunch because my family was dirt poor and getting my ass kicked by my majority black classmates because of the rhetoric people like you spread.

You see your hardships, can’t look past the color of your skin, and project.

Again, it’s not a race issue, it’s a financial class issue.

Why do you make this a white vs not white issue?

Atlanta is full of black millionaires and their school children still go hungry.

It’s not a problem with whites, it’s a problem with the rich.

You’re just a common racist.

So you are confirming that, you sir, are the outsider trying to influence American politics… by accusing other people of being outsiders influencing American politics.

Sounds very Blue MAGA.

Found the Blue MAGA.

The irony of claiming burden of proof on a post about proof being suppressed.

My hunch is the billions of dollars we have recently siphoned into a cyber warfare branch of the military, Project 2025, which is advancing almost identically to how The Plan for the New American Century progressed 20 years ago, and a President who is in bed with a war criminal fugitive. Oh, and they also recently started one of the largest censorship campaigns in decades Ala “STOP FREELY SHARING INFORMATION ON TIK TOK! WE ARE SUPPOSED TO FILTER RAW INFORMATION OUT AND PROPAGANDA IN VIA MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS AND ISP THROTTLES THAT WE CONTROL!!@!@”

The 100% part was hyperbole, but America is the one doing everything in it’s power to spark WWIII, and the one that benefits most from scrubbing recent history.

I didn’t know know you could see who voted on kbin.

I just knew lemmy, mbin, and some others don’t get counted, so the troll down boats don’t matter.

100% US Military doing it.

Illegal? Yes.

Stops businesses from doing this kind of BS? No.

Also, is this a legit thing posted at a legit workplace? Probably not.

The real joke was the pain that every developer feels when the end user gives such useful and actionable feed back as “It broke. Fix. Unga bunga.”

“It works on my machine” is trying to be polite when, after hours and hours of trying to teach a person how to report a bug with necessary information, all they ever get is “It broke. Fix. Unga bunga.”

In the end, there is this great fear of “the AI is going to fully replace us developers” and the reality is that while that may be a possibility one day, it wont be any day soon.

You still need people with deep technical knowledge to pilot the AI and drive it to an implemented solution.

AI isnt the end of the industry, it has just greatly sped up the industry.
