"Fish" is racist anyway. Putting them all in the same boat like that. smh

Maybe he means in a context with your real name visible?

Emotion-tracking AI on the job: Workers fear being watched – and misunderstood (theconversation.com)

Emotion artificial intelligence uses biological signals such as vocal tone, facial expressions and data from wearable devices as well as text and how people use their computers, to detect and predict how someone is feeling. It can be used in the workplace, for hiring, etc. Loss of privacy is just the beginning. Workers are...

Hmm, how very 1984

wathek ,

Have you tried working for a small-mid size company?
I got the same vibe in big companies, now im in a company of 50 people and they just do not care how weird i am, no middle managers trying to justify their existence, as long as you're doing your best you're good.
Like i'm sure that doesnt apply to all small companies, but i'd certainly keep it in mind for the future

Hmm, well i can't really speak to any of that. But for the greater good, unions are a good thing.
I understand that it makes difficult for you though.

I'd throw the obvious stuff at you like, but it's kinda hard to get an idea of what could possibly help without knowing you.

I do know that i've had to change my attitude a few times in life to get by though, i don't think autism should be used as an excuse to not have to do the hard thing everyone has to do (but is harder for us).

Right now, the only advice i can give is to try to channel that resentment into motivation to improve yourself. Trying and failing is so much more valuable than just giving up and being angry about it.

But yeah, i do have it easier than most so maybe it's not my place to say things like that. I do wish you the best though.

I do feel the same way about things being easier alone though. i would be much happier and productive doing my own thing, I have a ton of software projects i work on, somd even make a bit of money, but running business seems scary since my administration skills are shit and customers are acary.

Maybe if you understand why people react like that, you can be more than just frustrated about it.
Most people know that it's morally questionable to eat meat, but they do it so often they'd have to consider themself evil to accept that. The alternative is to just double down on it and exclaim that the non-meat eater is the baddie for pushing their beliefs on people.
You can notice it when you just subtly bring it up and the way people overreact.

wathek ,

Good point, most people just justify it and don't really question the morality. But after being told, precisely how and why it is probably immoral, and that animals dont live peaceful lives at the happy factory, what do you do?
That's when coping mechanisms kick in.

I'm not even vegan, im just interested in the psychology of it all.
My cope is unga bunga monkey instincs and soy crap is expensive.
There is no god, morality is invented by humans, it's not punishable by law, therefore no consequences for my actions on me.
As for everything affected by my actions, keep it at a safe distance i guess? Just like you, don't rub it in my face because it makes me uncomfortable.

I think if we all seriously started analysing our actions as much as vegans want us to, we'd all hate ourselves for even existing.
But im too tired for this wannabe deep bullshit so ima go back to destroying the planed by having a server somewhere emit pollution so i can listen to muh monkey brain happy songs on youtube.

I'm just a bit disgusted by the concept. Like McDonalds gives the slightest shit about sick kids or whatever.
But i don't know the actual impact or reason they do it, i just distrust it.

I use both linux and windows. I am power user.
Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs.
Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux.
Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it's place, but i am so done seeing this "windows bad linux good" bs

wathek ,

Wellp, i can't. Several games dont boot, some boot but are wonky as hell.
Good for you that you have everything you need, i do not.
I use gaming as an example, but so many essentials are either not there, or wonky as hell.
And that's assuming you can keep the damn thing running without spending a saturday a month trying to unfuck your system after a driver update or whatever.
Sure. I can get all the compatible hardware and do all the research to make sure everything probably doesnt impode, but at that point, why not just use windows.

I hope so, let's get some semi-healthy competition going, maybe they'll even have to provide a better user experience instead of just seeing who can milk their users the most optimally. Probably not but one can dream.
