I know what you mean. You're talking about an ideal reality. In the real world, people get fucked over when they're fired, and ai will put a lot of people out of work. Before we can get near what you're talking about we need widespread labor movements to ensure worker's rights and to fight for worker-benefited automation among other things. It doesn't look like we're close to being there yet, unfortunately. I just don't see how you can say that automation putting people out of work is moving towards that goal. It just fucks people over because workers have no protection.

Its not impossible to research the porn you consume to ensure that you're not getting off to someone being sexually abused or raped.

You do understand that abusers can lie about what they're doing, right? And that victims of abuse will often not come out in fear of retaliation from the abuser. You're saying that the viewer should be required to prove that something doesn't exist. It's an impossible task.

And you are absolutely responsible for ensuring that the porn you watch is adult and consensual.

Well... no. But even if viewers were, how do you go about ensuring that it's abuse free? It's not like you can just google the production company. There are plenty of times where there aren't any publicly available allegations so you can never be sure. When it comes to amateur porn, how do you know if their partner is forcing them into it or not? There's no way to prove anything for sure unless there is a public record of allegations.

That's the ideal but you know that's not how it works at all in our current society. Replacing workers with automation just leads to workers needing to find a new job.

I use duckduckgo but just throw in the google bang if I need specific functionality. Usually DDG is fine for me usually but it's convenient to be able to switch quickly.

It's not. There's no reason why headphone jacks would be outdated. They carry an analog signal to drive the headphones. With a dongle, you're just converting that signal from USB-C. USB-C headphones carry the exact same signal and bluetooth is garbage for audio quality. 3.55mm TRS is the de facto standard for headphones in the consumer market. It really doesn't get any simpler or cheaper.

Every time someone was displayed an ad it made the world just a tiny bit worse

By what metric?

Lemmy has gotten quite a bit of money in grants. It's safe to say that without the grants allowing the lemmy devs to work on it full time, it wouldn't be as functional as it is now. Getting grants really isn't easy and that shouldn't be the barrier to whether or not you can be compensated for your work.

Never had issues with that either tbh. I guess the algo just picked up on something for you. That's annoying.

I gave them a call to ask about their warranty, they sent me a new one with no questions even though mine was several years out of their warranty period…

There are so many situations where if you just talk to someone and be polite, they'll bend over backwards to help you. I got loads of educational discounts back when I was in school for services that didn't officially provide any because I just reached out. Always awesome to hear when companies (or at least the people who work for them) help out like that!
