  • Essentially all the discussion in this thread so far has basically been focused around being outspoken against bigotry,

    Yeah, because the people in this thread didn't read the article and are making excuses for themselves.

    What's an example of an opinion you think Bill from accounting could hold that your standard Gen-Z employee

    It literally depends entirely on the people and the company, and the disagreements aren't cross generations exclusively. The point is that Gen Z is not equipped to handle disagreement in general. You all are the ones jumping to pin it on politics that are already by large literally illegal and heavily squeezed out of corporate spaces.

  • It definitely acted as a drag. Every API request was a cost without a way to make money

    The real problem is that investors piled into reddit and bloated it into an unsustainable pile of death without knowing how it could make money.

    Now they're squeezing it for cash and will slowly kill it as a result. But at the end of the day you can't just have a free open API because websites do cost money.

    IMO. The problem is that reddit priced to kill the apps in order to serve your shitty microtransactions and track you to death. They could have had a slimmer site and a more reasonable price for the API, and that would have been fair.

  • My stance is that the people in this thread, and you, are jumping to hilarious conclusions to justify your continued head-up-assery.

    your stance is that a minority should be forced to be cordial with somebody who hates them simply for existing?

    Like seriously. Read the article and read what I said. Find where exactly I said this.

    Hint: I didn't.

    My point is that this inability to debate and handle opinions you don't like extends well beyond dealing with some random bigot.

    businesses will need to recruit and retain Gen Z employees. If that means that they have to change their company culture, then that's going to have to happen.

    They also need to... do business. They need to have debates and discussion and decide on courses of action when two people feel strongly about how the company should behave, and echo chamber natives are very bad at actually articulating their thoughts and defending their points absent their peers backing them up.

  • I had to abandon a project recently because AMDs shitty software would refuse to install opencl for one of their integrated graphics chips.

    Every time I've tried to use their subpar hardware it's been met by exponentially more shitty subpar software. If I were in any business making decisions with real money I'd avoid AMD like a plague

  • The reaction isn't that ‘other people's opinions are bad’. The reaction is that oppressive behavior being passed off as innocuous opinion

    The assumption is that this is about oppressive behavior and you're entitled to hold firm in this mindset. The reality is that there's likely a genuine issue here and that issue is happily driven and worsened by these sort of assumptions.

    Take some time to read up on the person making the claims. Female CEO of a large news network isn't exactly part of the old boys club.

  • Proposition:

    "Gen Z is bad at discussion"

    Reaction:

    "Gen Z isn't bad at discussion, everyone at the workplace has bad opinions and we shouldn't have to discuss"

    Reality:

    Offices aren't filled to the brim with evil people and yes you do have to talk to people you disagree with on a high level. Gen Z probably really does have issues with actual high level discussion because they've grown up their whole life surrounded by Internet echo chambers. This includes right wingers.

  • Not releasing calibration tools and such is not "Anti repair" that's just "not pro repair"

    Not pro repair is anti repair. Making it hard to fix the shit you own by obfuscating what you have to do to fix it is anti repair.

    If they didn't obfuscate it there would be many tools out there already to let it be done. Also, basically every other laptop doesn't have these random calibration issues. Why would Apple be so unique?

    Design wise, Apple is not trying to hold you back, they just do not give a fuck if you can repair anything they build.

    They literally serial lock almost half of their parts.

  • To put it simply, the happiest family I've ever seen in recent times was a couple of conservative couples, some of which were steel workers and some of which were factory workers in the local town. They all lived in the same town and got to visit each other for Christmas then share the day with all their kids together. A big happy family of like 20 people.

    The couples? They largely meet at church. They also go to church, and have deep connections to their community.

    The conservatives I knew were always going hunting and being outside and getting big ass fun trucks and running around doing their thing in little nearly idyllic communities.

    Honestly, I think the prediction here isn't the politics, but living in a rural area around nature and without the city life and culture that comes with it.

    These "ignorance is bliss" people are fools. Conservative groups have big big problems, but I think it would be a mistake to assuming there is no upside to those more traditional ways of life.

    But alas. Churches are still rooted in lies and global warning is actually real.
