extradesgo··on Our plans for PeerTube v4
Ha!

Blending of conflicting ideologies implies compromise or trade-off, which would be a popular front.

In a united front, the groups do not merge or compromise. Ideologies and ultimate intentions remain pure, and the groups only collaborate in the name of overlapping interests.

No, not under criminal law. It requires a civil suit.

If you’re intending to be sarcastic, you probably mean united front.
extradesgo··on Employee refuses to download app that monitors location, says it got her fired
>”the very same people that are now complaining about these measures were the same that enabled it in the first place”

Wage workers? No. That’s just false. I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to say but it’s wrong. This is just another appearance of the same class warfare that drives slavery. Working people didn’t ask for this any more than slaves asked for slavery.

Is there any acceptable excuse for this not being open sourced?
extradesgo··on Amazon workers vote against unionizing in Alabama
It offers a company plan that workers DO have to pay for and often choose not to because they cannot afford it.
extradesgo··on Jeff Bezos comes out in support of increased corporate taxes
Who is disagreeing? It’s far more difficult to argue the i verse.
extradesgo··on Amazon illegally fired activist workers, Labor Board finds
r/stupidpol is worth a serious read.
extradesgo··on What Is the Switch-Case Equivalent in Python?
I have used this dict solution before in scripts and I am not proud of it.
extradesgo··on Amazon started a Twitter war because Jeff Bezos was pissed
> Also from all the documents we've seen it would appear Amazon leaks like a sieve so I would also expect way more damning evidence to have appeared by now.

This is some the most impressive circular logic I’ve seen in my day.

When you can barely even pay each month’s rent, just moving to a new apartment locally can require a year or two of savings. And thats assuming you don’t have children or any other unexpected (car broke down, medical bills).
extradesgo··on I Don’t Know How to Waste Time on the Internet Anymore
This poor soul has never heard of Hacker News.
extradesgo··on Programmers say Uber Eats is systematically underpaying their workers
Yeah, and we should also organize and vote for better labor laws so we can build strong unions again.
extradesgo··on Lightroom app update wipes users' photos and presets, Adobe says not recoverable
DaVinci Resolve is, if anything, excellent for professionals. I have used it professionally for years, but realize it was originally only available with a grand console system that only large studios could afford.
extradesgo··on Neoliberalism and the End of Democracy [pdf]
What exactly are you saying is the problem? Even if it’s as simple as you claim, those “simple” problems are apparently not subject to repair. So long as that is the case, I recommend considering that the problem does in-fact have a bit more depth to it.
extradesgo··on Neoliberalism and the End of Democracy [pdf]
See the difference between saying democracy is necessary for freedom and saying that democracy obviates freedom. Parent comment only made claim to the former.
extradesgo··on California issues first rolling blackouts since 2001
Right. The automation nuts are wildly disconnected with reality.
extradesgo··on YouTube Will ‘Frustrate’ Some Users with Ads So They Pay for Music
Yeah, it's a lot different.

NPR used to be publicly funded, much like the BBC in the UK. The idea was to offer objective journalism for the strength of democracy. It has helped a lot in the UK may have helped prevent the current disaster we now experience in the US. When that public funding started being removed, NPR had to start acting more like a private company, satisfying target demographics and seeking seeking donor support.

So, NPR pledge drives are in large part them trying to maintain an objective perspective. A feeble attempt, sure, but they are trying. Youtube is merely maximizing profit.
