It's not your responsibility to predict where the ambulance wants to go or do the wrong thing because everyone else is doing the wrong thing.
A local ice cream parlor isn't making ice cream on the fly.
They are scooping it from premade buckets stored in special freezer cases during business hours and stored in walking freezers at close.
If we're going to dunk on corporations can we do it for legitimate reasons?
We're going to start limiting what McDonalds can do to control quality of product because the tech community thinks it knows better?
Dairy is not a product to play loose with the rules on.
Should have unionized while we had the chance. At least a trade guild to protect ourselves.
Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
When has someone claimed that treating cancer would increase life expectancy above the average?
This is a dangerous article. People don't need more reasons to avoid cancer screenings.
A better analogy is you go into a doctors office, there have pamphlets for other services offered that you are no interested in, so rip the pamphlet displays off the wall and complain you're the victim for not being allowed to see the doctor.
I work from home.
My car sits for so long, yard debris collects around the tires.
I have been able to push off a new car purchase because I rarely drive anymore. That alone is a huge saving for the environment.
The website has every right to server you the content as they seem fit.
You are not entitled to an experience other than the one they are willing to provide.
It it worth a night in jail, a couple thousand dollars in legal fees and being felon to find out?
Our tech companies just did rounds of layoffs to suppress workers and the field is still anti-union.
Meanwhile, unions are getting 30-40% wage increases while tech salaries stagnate.
Silly.
I cannot recall the last time the-site-formerly-known-as-twitter was in the news for positive reasons.
The only time I've submitted government ID online was for banking sites where it's only online sign up. I am OK with this because I understand this is a requirement set by the same government issuing the IDs with rules around how it can be used.
Social media sites have no such requirement. They have no such rules around the collection of this information. They can do whatever they want with it once collected. Privacy policies aren't enough. They can shift on a whim.
That would do nothing to solve the knowledge worker shorter with this chip factories.
I don't understand how this is any different than Sony or Nintendo deciding the terms to release games on their hardware. Is it because they charge for dev-kits and Apple doesn't.
Are we certain it's in the public's interest to make development for Apple platforms more restrictive?
Amazon Prime still cannot offer same day delivery.
But Walmart+ can.
As terrible as Walmart is, Amazon is a worse brand.
At this point, I'd rather direct my fund towards the ghost of Walton who during his life treated employees with respect versus a company that can only maintain profitability by treating workers terribly.
Not everyone's social media experience is the same.
The author was participating in the noise, stuck in the culture of substance abuse.
Their experience is that this is the only experience.
To the most casual observer this is clearly untrue.

Anyone paying attention to the science on social media is aware there are people stuck in this cycle.
It's cool that this person woke to it but there is nothing larger here and there is no indication their habits are going to change longer term. They are determined to continue to participate in something they admit harms them.
There is no evidence that employers have been trying to keep pace. There is ample evidence that they have tried to suppress wages.
For decades what they are calling 'keeping pace' has been performed by knocking the legs out of their employees.
Killing off the animal husbandry is a short sighted solution.
Vegan's are measurably weaker.
Children raised on a vegan diet have worse heart health, weaker bone structure and a shorter stature.
There is an evolutionary reason we're omnivores.
Veganism is a religious belief and rightly has no place in these conversations.
Fixing them would be trivial.
"Yeah but it works" is not engineering.
In my area there are people who sit in they are retirees that sit in their front yards and greet not just pedestrians but every vehicle that goes by.
That's the problem.
They know based on usage patterns. They know what age groups watch which videos. They use it to target children.
But because they didn't explicitly collect it, they can skirt the law.
The intent of the law is being ignored for profit.
