Tell me how your argument is different than “deep sea oil rig welders make more money than their more ethical alternative of welding for a small local shop.” Are we going to blame those people for “enabling the oil industry” as well? Or are

It’s literally paramount to this discussion. My whole entire point is that we can’t blame individual contributors for working at Meta and we can’t assume that they are upper upper middle class people with tons of other options. Even for the

I am free to call you ignorant for not agreeing with my world view, actually. I’m not sure why you’d claim I can’t do that, the statement is factually false. I wasn’t specifically trying to do that in such a strongly worded way, I’m not say

I don’t really feel like looking it up again but the verbiage sounded more to me like they were specifically trying to say that they weren’t setting the GDPR as a minimum standard. We also have to realize that any privacy policy that is all

Interesting, I found Meta data center jobs in Ohio, Alabama, Illinois outside of Chicagoland, and South Carolina that pay under $100k or barely above it. I didn’t find any that pay $800k. I found one for a diesel technician in Huntsville, A

Remember that Meta owns their own data centers. I have found jobs for Meta on their careers page in places like Ohio, Alabama, and South Carolina, and Illinois outside Chicagoland that pay under $100k or just barely above it. Many of these

I still have sympathies for any individual contributors even if they are high paid. No, you can’t always just magically work somewhere else. Especially not in the current job market. This is especially true when Meta has a far higher employ

There are definitely Meta employees who are not making especially high salaries like SWEs. Think about departments like support, graphic design, marketing, etc. Most white collar workers do not have any luxury to stop working even if they a

I will never blame the non-management workers in this situation. Most of us are forced by modern society to work for someone else and there are a limited number of jobs available. Not everyone who works at Meta has a better, more ethical op

That’s what I don’t get about this product. I’ll be blunt and say this looks like a rebrand of ChromeOS with a normal keyboard and AI slapped in it. Chromebooks are associated with low quality garbage that people only buy if they’re despera

Bambu didn’t sue, they sent a cease and desist letter. Just to be pedantic. I don’t know what the fuss is about. This whole issue has nothing to do with the open source ecosystem. It has everything to do with the part where Bambu does not a

It seems like you’re using the achievements of white men as some kind of odd way to put down the achievements of people who aren’t men. They’re “peak performance” but everyone else isn’t, is that what you’re implying? Ever heard of Ada Love

I’m not sure we can say it’s an effective duopoly when the desktop gaming market has more Linux users than Mac users. Think about it this way: for every four Mac users there is one Linux user. That sounds quite significant if you ask me, an
