The only problem I have with that is the notion that a company gets to consolidate funds that were previously going to an actual real person. Now, if we could rely on big business to pass on those savings to their customers and employees, that would be one thing. But we can’t.

cjsolx@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?4·2 years agoFuck. You’re probably right. It’s all about nudging us towards the behavior they want.
cjsolx@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?10·2 years agoI had an S8 a couple years back and upgraded to an S10 when it first came out. The notification light went away and it was a huge bummer. I now have a Pixel 7 and it doesn’t have it either, so I’ve learned to live without it.
And as the coup de grâce, their name is LemmyKnowsBest.
cjsolx@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-freeEnglish63·2 years agoPersonally, idgaf what they do with Prime Video. After about a decade of having Prime, the only thing that has ever caught my attention was Rings of Power and that shat the bed so I’m good there.
I order enough off Amazon that faster delivery is a major draw for me. Ordering from other merchants is a drag because Amazon set the standard forever ago. But is it worth $140/year? Idk, I’ll have to do the value calculation on that one. But it’s getting closer to not being worth it. Especially if they continue to bundle the cost of video that I don’t use onto my shipping subscription.

cjsolx@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon's strict return-to-office policy is pushing more employees into quittingEnglish101·2 years agoYes?
If you don’t have the skills or experience to sell yourself then obviously you don’t have a lot of options.

Plenty of children go without in this country.

Well yeah you can understand most stories without reading/hearing the first part and it’s not like Legend of Zelda is exactly Moby Dick.
cjsolx@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than ParentingEnglish3·2 years agoPerhaps a tad.
Personally, I don’t much like being told what my conclusion should be from a report. Annoying headline. Unsurprisingly, Timmy goes on to be insufferable throughout the rest of the article too.
That’s a 9/10 stick you got there buddy, would def take it hiking.
Maybe everyone’s a completionist and would rather play the games in order rather than jump into the story halfway through ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That said, it was a real dumb thing to say.
cjsolx@lemmy.worldto [Dormant] moved to !historyphotos@piefed.social@lemmy.world•Aboriginal Australians used as forced labor by European settlers, 1902English9·2 years agoWhat gets me is that yeah that’s their excuse, but if someone treated, say, an orangutan or a baboon like this I’d think that was pretty fucked up too. We were so gross. We still are (dog fighting, circus elephants etc) but the cruelty that we’re capable of without what is essentially moral peer pressure, is chilling to think about. Even today we fight tooth and nail against moral progress and treating everyone with respect.
Here is an important example of the disconnect between liberal and conservative interpretation of the word “socialist”. Economists would not label Scandinavian countries as socialist. Meanwhile conservatives point to Cuba and Venezuela as examples of socialist failure when that’s not entirely true either. We’re talking past each other in these debates.
