Management are assholes and idiots.
Nothing will get better without demands. People need to organize.
But if I've learned anything from history, it's that the ownership class would rather murder all of their employees than give a few dollars more a day.
Right? I often like being around people. I don't want to do it in the fucking office
My current partner I got to try FromSoft games. Sekiro did not go well for them.
Whenever a chat bot is aggressively presented on a website, I like to ask it how to disable all AI features. Often it will tell me to click on menu options that don't exist.
Seems reasonable. I've seen other people proposing that or similar solutions to the supreme Court.
One of the things that feeds into my insufferable smugness about living in a walkable city is I haven't paid for gas in years (outside of like... maybe 2 road trips a decade). It's just not something I think about.
I had the luxury of being able to move somewhere with trains and buses, though.
I buy albums. Built up a nice library. No drm. No Internet required. I can even share it or pass it on. It's a lot easier to share than my parents' big record collection
Of course they are. I'm happy to never use twitch but I feel like most people don't care or don't have the self discipline to stop.
It's because the decision makers are fucking stupid.
I would be happier at work if we could just solve interesting problems. Instead we have mandates from management to do nonsense, or work in nonsense ways.
The people at the top are so removed from how work gets done, and how normal people live, they're useless. Worse than useless.
I mostly get music from Bandcamp. They have a pretty big library, but it's mostly newer and independent bands on there. You won't find, like, the beatles or taylor swift.
Sometimes I'll buy stuff directly from bands, if it's not on bandcamp, via their store or label or whatever. I used to get CDs, too, and rip them, but I haven't done that in a while.
I will continue to not use Spotify. Buying drm free music is a long term win.
Competitive markets are hated by private business owners
