ugqtq··on AdTech Sucks: This Time It's Personal IDs
I don't care about ads, I care about how much you track users to show them.

You say that they are relevant as if that was something to be proud of. You've had to track users across all the internet to be able to show relevant ads, so relevant ads disgust me.

>Sure, competition is good - but wouldn't pooling resources be better?

Welcome to Linux.

ugqtq··on Notes on privacy and data collection of Matrix.org
You were pretty disappointed when you learnt that recipients of your messages can do whatever they want with them? And your solution is to remove the feature altogether?

How about removing the ability to copy text? Or the ability to take screenshots?

ugqtq··on Swiss women strike for more money, time and respect
Do men and women have the same level of education and have they chosen the same career paths in average? If they haven't then that 20 % is meaningless. As far as I know men and women can choose to get the degrees that they want and can choose to pursue the careers that they want. If they haven't chosen to do so what do they expect?

Ah I see you edited. Yes that was exactly my point. If they expect to get the same money for nursing that you can get for designing rockets then that's basically Communism.

ugqtq··on Swiss women strike for more money, time and respect
"stage", well said.

>However, women in Switzerland still earn on average 20% less than men, they are under-represented in management positions, and childcare remains not only expensive, but in short supply.

Women are less valuable? How will a strike solve this? I mean if this was true and I was a business owner I would only hire women because I could pay 20 % less. But of course that's not the way it works. Those "facts" are manipulative.
