matchbok3··on Why it's so difficult to produce American-made medical gloves
Well, for the most part this is actually true. Taking care of the exceptions is the hard part.

Also, "climate catastrophe" is not a thing.

matchbok3··on Meta pulls new AI image feature after days of backlash
Any best on if they will just re-release this under the radar once the press attention dies down? Zuck isn't spending billions to just not release this stuff.
matchbok3··on Software Engineer's Firing Ruled Illegal in a Rare Win for a Tech Worker
If an employee of yours spent hours every day attacking you.... would you keep them employed? Why not?
matchbok3··on Software Engineer's Firing Ruled Illegal in a Rare Win for a Tech Worker
I mean... yes? A company pays you to work. If you are using company resources, during company time, to attack your company... why exactly would they keep you employees? She was warned multiple times. It's quite amazing this court let this happen at all.

I'd imagine this is more common than one would think, unfortunately. Has SF tried to determine how much "fresh food" is purchased through this program? What qualifies as "success" here?
matchbok3··on Software Engineer's Firing Ruled Illegal in a Rare Win for a Tech Worker
Love the downvotes :(
matchbok3··on ChatGPT Work
Very interesting approach, however I wonder if the combination of Codex + Work in the same app makes sense? I could see a world where the technical needs of a developer are hampered by the overall superapp architecture. I guess we'll see?
matchbok3··on Former Judge Hannah Dugan avoids prison, fined $5k in ICE obstruction case
Please keep comments productive and avoid personal attacks.
matchbok3··on Resetting Xbox
Except in the many, many cases where layoffs help the company focus on a core product.
matchbok3··on Nintendo announces new product revisions in Europe with replaceable batteries
Yeah, I agree. Also, there's little evidence that consumers really care about this. Batteries last a long time now.
matchbok3··on Nintendo announces new product revisions in Europe with replaceable batteries
Didn't care? Consumers don't care about this. Like most EU laws, this is a solution in search of a problem. Nintendo, like every other tech company, did the research and found that people simply don't care about this stuff. Now we have more complicated devices and have to buy our own batteries for what, exactly? There is just very little benefit here.
matchbok3··on Proof That the Unraveling of MAGA Has Begun [video][46 Mins]
Also, you have no idea how I've voted. The fact that you make such assumptions is all the evidence that shows your arguments are about as strong as a wet cardboard box. What a way to convince people to join your party!
matchbok3··on Proof That the Unraveling of MAGA Has Begun [video][46 Mins]
You are just literally wrong. Your side keeps yapping that line, but it's just entirely false outside of Bluesky and the Groups.

matchbok3··on Proof That the Unraveling of MAGA Has Begun [video][46 Mins]
The lack of a coherent border policy from 2020-2023 is.... right-wing propaganda?

Were you alive during that time? I honestly can't tell if you are trolling or just dumb. The border was complete chaos and cost the dems the election. You cannot possibly be this ignorant.

You continue to throw people out of your tent and then try to shame them. You clearly do it for some virtue signaling reason, because it certainly hasn't helped your side win.

You seem to take it as a good thing that you keep losing to Trump by only a little. If your side can't beat Donald Trump I just have no idea what to tell you. Please go touch grass and talk to the medium American voter. Then you'll realize how out-of-touch you really are.

On the race thing... you do the DSA thing, yet again. There are many many non-white, female leaders in politics. Blaming the loss on that is silly and reductive. Do better. It's also insulting to those already in power.

matchbok3··on Zuckerberg 'Admits' Meta's Layoffs Were Ineffective
If you don't think companies realize this I suggest you talk to some leaders. It's a very obvious issue with any layoff and is why they are usually the last option.
matchbok3··on The War on Self-Driving Cars Will Kill People
Freedom? What freedom is being lost, exactly?
matchbok3··on Military branches restore flu shot requirement after virus swept through base
Also forgiving a loan that both parties signed willingly is dumb and solves nothing.
matchbok3··on We are capitalist, not socialist
Weird project? They have many members of congress.

Right wing money? How about common sense. Socialism has never, and will never, work.

matchbok3··on Michigan bill would bar employers from requiring after-hours coms with workers
In exactly 0 of my hiring decisions, ever, was legislation a reason why someone is paid.
matchbok3··on Elastic lays off 7% of employees
I too was young and idealistic at one point.

You should start that company and guarantee that you will never lay anyone off.

Will you do it? Why not? Please don't make excuses. If it's easy, you should be able to!

matchbok3··on After the Rent Freeze
Places where rent control worked: 0.

Every. Single. Time.

matchbok3··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
They should have predicted AI?

lol.

matchbok3··on Elastic lays off 7% of employees
Would you rather they never hire those people? Because that is one option.
matchbok3··on Elastic lays off 7% of employees
Do you think those natural resources would have been taken advantage of as well in some other system? Same with the geography and isolation.

You are talking about entirely different things. Makes no sense whatsoever. You could make your same argument about any economic system. The natural resources are inputs, not the outcome.

matchbok3··on The deadly rise of giant trucks and SUVs
Being proud of selfish behavior is something that is embarrassing to see. What a great role model you are.
matchbok3··on The deadly rise of giant trucks and SUVs
Are you joking? Your huge SUV class kills more people than saves by easily 10x. What happens when you hit a car?

Selfish behavior is ruining our streets.

matchbok3··on The AI Hate Progression
This is a nonsensical piece.

>You'll notice a trend here: Consent is just gone. It does not exist when AI enters the room in 90% of cases. Companies just foist it on you and tell you to shut up and like it, or leave.

This is ... not how consent works. At all.

matchbok3··on Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption
There are hundreds of phone models. A smartphone is a just one type.

Apple came out of nowhere and invented the smartphone because the existing system was controlled by the telcos and horrible phone technology. The same thing can easily happen again.

It makes no sense to limit Netflix on phones and people would probably stop buying iPhones.

If the EU wants an "open" phone ecosystem, they should foster real innovation in their space and build it themselves.

matchbok3··on Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption
We already have choice - people can buy many different types of phones. Nothing about this is about choice or the free market. They want special treatment.

Apple is free to do what they want. The EU can go and try and build their own iPhone (good luck with that).

matchbok3··on Siri AI
We already have user choice - it's called buying an iPhone or not. Nobody is forced to buy an iPhone, or a smartphone at all.

The EU is just a disaster with these laws. They can't innovate so they do this.
