i will concede to every point in your dumb list: even if everything in there was true, this would still be a systemic problem. so, yeah there is a wage gap.

pyre ,

you're right, i guess i didn't consider:

  1. we're clearly genetically predisposed to certain jobs, it's probably in our DNA, just like capitalism itself
  2. jobs have set payments that come from nature itself; we don't invent jobs we just discover them.
  3. jobs that happen to be discovered by women more naturally have lower payments by sheer coincidence.
  4. there's nothing we can do about this
  5. this set of indisputable facts can be observed with empirical methods and it's also complete coincidence that this happens to favor the men who are overrepresented in government
  6. oh hey that's also just plainly what men are predisposed to do, being in power; women just don't like being in power which is why they didn't have voting rights until like last Friday or something.
pyre ,

that won't happen. technological advancement doesn't allow you to work less, it allowa you to work less for the same output. so you work the same hours but the expected output changes, and your productivity goes up while your wages stay the same.

pyre ,

it was forced by unions.

pyre ,

since people here are more tech savvy than i could ever be if like to ask what you guys think of Vivaldi, because i like it a lot. super customizable, has quick command search, side panel lets me use some websites like extensions, and workspaces help me organize especially with work... has anyone used it and can anyone tell me if waterfox or other forks are better and how?

pyre ,

is that guaranteed to force all chromium browsers regardless? like, does that ban the ublock origin extension (or something to the effect of rendering it useless)?

pyre ,

wow. ok. time to experiment with Firefox forks.

pyre ,

so a regular analog clock. which is why the saying is actually "twice a day" not "once".

pyre , (edited )

i said regular as a qualifier because i was expecting someone to point out niche clocks like a 24-hour one or whatever. plus if we're talking digital clocks the saying falls apart anyway because most of them would just not show anything rather than getting stuck on one time.

Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google's avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant's attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory's new software architecture...

pyre ,

it wasn't marketing wank. it was a significant performance difference. people forget Firefox 3.x but i remember. it was fireslug more like.

pyre ,

wow, bravo.... BRAVO!

pyre ,

yeah that feels genuine.

not the same thing but Agents of Shield had a similar way of dealing with Daisy's name change. Coulson would sometimes slip up and call her by her old name, getting more and more used to it with time. felt real and human rather than disingenuous and robotic.

pyre ,

i wonder why print is dead

pyre ,

i wasn't speaking in comparison to ebooks. ebooks suck in every way imaginable.

pyre , (edited )

why are you coming up with these categories? "print is dead" doesn't mean "because there's print 2.0 now"

—radio is dead
—excuse me, but internet radio is nothing compared to am stations
—yeah, obviously people who don't listen to radio don't want to listen to radio with extra steps
—what other forms of radio has beaten radio?

what are you even

pyre ,

you're wrong. TV replaced the radio, not podcasts. we're not comparing different kinds of media, we're saying new media replaces the old, regardless of form. it's not about numbers; it's about migration. if people moved on from listening to podcasts to consume pictures and video on Instagram, then you could totally say that, but they didn't, so we don't.

pyre ,

awesome, now we can make our own search engine that is filled with complete trash and isn't concerned with helping the user at all.

pyre ,

300-3 isn't that hard to remember. also i don't know why you would need to divide it. they're both divisible by 3 if that helps.

pyre ,

idk why the image says "european", the standard is worldwide. only north america and parts of latin america don't use it afaik.

pyre ,

what is this Frankenstein's meme

pyre ,

talk about burying the lede. the title should've been: WINAMP STILL EXISTS (also not going open source)

pyre ,

as a former reddit user I'm taken aback by the mod responses to this callout post. lemmy mods here, not very reddit-mod-like.

pyre ,

maybe someone left their Tesla there

pyre ,

what. yes, the world very much cares; we're talking about the USA here, everything that happens there affects us all. also is your solution to imperialistic fascism not participating in the elections? lol

pyre ,

good luck, I'm sure this comment will change how everyone talks from now on.

pyre ,

which is why in his last panel he says "why the fuck is your front door wide open like this"

pyre ,

he's the god of the dead, not of lockpicking

pyre ,

"they would let devs be" sorry that was a typo, should've said "they would let devs go" my bad

—Phil Spencer probably

pyre ,

i think that gives him too much credit. he's just fucking dumb and bad at everything. he failed upwards so long because he wasn't too visible in the public eye. now he's terminally online and constantly embarrassing himself and his companies.

pyre ,

that's what it does now

pyre ,

do you mean Xpertly Xecuted

pyre ,

love the quote for how creepy it is. this should be the top reply to every single one of Elon's dumbass tweets

pyre ,

that made me cry laugh

pyre ,

hear hear. best games i play are significantly cheaper than 60 bucks, and are compete packages.

pyre ,

of course he's obsessed with it. it's pretty close to the swastika as far as letters go.

pyre ,

this dude can't make a car pedal right what did you expect

pyre ,

the stupidest things are always made on his demand

pyre ,

yeah, i mean, why do you think we're using this platform right now

pyre ,

"at the time of the crash, the driver was in full control"

(but not a couple seconds before)

pyre ,

ublock origin users barely noticed. you just have to update filters every now and then.

pyre ,

revanced is so good. not only stops ads but has sponsorblock as well.

pyre ,

i prefer this to apple's method of naming everything the same. someone telling me they have an i-whatever gives no indication to what it is. could be a 15 year old shitty product or a brand new, overpriced shitty product.

pyre ,

also good for temporarily logging in to an account on a service without logging out of your regular one on main

pyre , (edited )

I use DDG browser for the same reason; if I want to go back to something I use Firefox on mobile instead.

pyre ,

me too, it doesn't disturb the owner's account and you don't have to worry about whether you logged out afterwards.

pyre ,

then you're still a nerd but you need more than someone merely referencing something to laugh.

pyre ,

watch a video from brahkie

pyre ,

see if they were even remotely trustworthy or even rational no one would ever even entertain the possibility of Gmail being discontinued. for any other party this would be laughable. with Google it's plausible.
