  • If a business can't afford to pay a living wage to its laborers for a a fair price to its customers, let it die. That's what capitalism is for my doors.

    If the business is so special and important that letting it die would mess yo shit up, then make it a publicly owned service. That's what organized government is for doods.

  • As someone with ADHD, I'm always trying to be Batman in this situation.

    I'm more technologically inclined than most learn to be, and I'm constantly seeking new ways to automate tasks I struggle with through gadgets and strategy.

    Unfortunately, no matter how "high-tech" or "clever" I get, I'll probably always feel like the people I'm running with are Superman just because they can run an errand without derailing their entire day.

    That's why in the rare moments when I exceed my own expectations, I'm sure to let out a gravelly "I'm Batman" out if self-respect

  • Remember in the frenzy after Kavanaugh was added, when that one guy drove out to his house with a weapon in a briefcase? But then he thought about life in prison, his family, and then caved and turned himself in?

    Fast forward a bit through the many mangled Supreme Court rulings and the overturning of Roe v Wade.

    Crazy to think what could be different in the world. When you think about it, the entire future of American politics and culture would shift dramatically overnight if just two Supreme Court justices were to suddenly cease to exist.

    Wild stuff.

  • The only dock that's actually as advertised with all the bells and whistles is made by Caldigit.

    It's ungodly expensive, which sucks, but it has been 100% flawless for my M1 MacBook Pro and M1 Mac Mini for at least a year now.

  • A UK clinic designed for treating video game addiction, originally expected to help just 50 people a year, has had more than 850 referrals since its inception in 2020.

    850 game addicts across 2-3 years is pretty small potatoes. Wonder how many alcoholics and gambling addicts there are in that area.

  • I 100% recommend TWIT, best tech podcast I listen to.

    I usually listed at 1.2x speed with gap skipping on, because they can talk a bit slow.

    Really great for weekly overviews of tech news, and excellent guests.

  • This kind of thing (and e-waste in general) is why I think we need radical laws about unsupported hardware in general.

    If an electronic device (phone, laptop, etc) stops receiving software support, the most recently available firmware should be made freely available under public domain.

    Apple is obviously the worst offender, but it's just horrible when you have really great hardware that's 100% worthless just because the software is unsupported and proprietary.

    The number of iPads, smart home products, and other devices that become e-waste every year is unsustainable. If companies were forced to release the code for free when they stopped supporting devices, maybe they would support them longer. Or at least bother innovating for a change.

  • As someone who did some UX for a touchscreen product in Healthcare, it's 100% just boring old capitalism making real work impossible.

    Any time immediate profit is put above the company "Mission Statement" (which is every time) it becomes impossible for designers to do a good job.

    I was working with a broken and 90's looking UX/UI and made a modernized Material 3 style redesign that never even got full evaluation because it "wasn't a priority".

    They'd regularly recognize UX problems and ask for the best solution. I'd research, test, and design options, explaining how I got there, and then a non-designer from an unrelated department would say some nonsense and we'd scrap the whole thing.
