Historians are gonna really wonder why so many people talked about this

Luigi burned a bunch of bridges

fooled me man, I thought for once in my life someone was thanking me for clicking my pen. I got scolded all the time in class 😭

S Gel is just as good as the g2 but black ink > blue ink so s gel for me

the build of the g2 is superior though, but ink > build imo at least the s gel build is tolerable but the clicker is subpar and I’m not too big a fan of the grip

edit: oh shit ignoring ink color g2 obviously. If only for the compatibility of the refills

This guy will never be pro union.

intelligence

That word alone should make you ask a lot of questions about the science behind it

There are many problems not caused by big tech.

Everyone knows

Disagree. My mom doesn’t. Terminally online people do.

Mamdani isn’t contributing to an issue by using Twitch. You fail to understand that there is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Not saying don’t boycott, but you are up against forces bigger than Mamdani and your issues are not a single individual, yet you project them onto individuals. A tell-tale sign of a young person who wants change but doesn’t know where to direct it.

You aren’t having a conversation, you’re just trying to get mad at Mamdani for using Twitch when you didn’t want him to. That’s allowed, but him doing his fucking job is not the issue here, despite it being on Twitch.

We’re talking about making laws because that’s the solution to your problem.

“Streaming platforms” are not the problem. Big Tech is the problem.

For New Yorkers? He’s talking directly to people who he is responsible for. Maybe you should be educating those people on the impact of big tech like Amazon owning Twitch. They’re worried about grocery prices and getting to work on time so they don’t get fired and lose their only source of healthcare. They’re dealing with unfair labor laws and apparently a horrible landlord regime. I support any effort you make towards that kind of advocacy, but you are up against stiff competition for their attention, and therefore his.

I am aware of the issue. I don’t use Twitch. I will not watch Mamdani on Twitch. I am just letting you know, you need to talk to lawmakers about this and pressure them. This guy’s job is literally to listen to his constituents. Apparently, his constituents are speaking on Twitch. Amazon owns The Washington Post, Amazon TV, MGM, and Twitch. This is not good. Write your representatives and keep spreading awareness.

Why can’t he be?

Not saying he can’t. I’m saying whether or not he is. He’s the Mayor of New York City, not a senator or any other kind of law maker. It’s like saying “why didn’t Obama do medicare for all?” Well did congress propose that? He signs laws, not write them. That is the job of a lawmaker. Mayors and all other offices of governing are not offices of lawmaking unless your name is Trump apparently.

Agreed, but imo the world (and new york) has bigger problems than streaming platforms 😅 Not sure if Mamdani is the vehicle for that kind of change

He’s going where the working people are. That’s a people problem, honestly.

Oh shit not the ETC

The EU knew about DNT signals before GDPR was finalized and decided to ignore them. I know, I was a web dev at that time (and still am, yes I’m ancient in internet years). This is on the EU and techbros, but having internet explorer and other browsers like firefox (not sure if chrome did it?) enabling DNT by default would make tech bros upset, and the EU couldn’t have that, so they made the tech bros a little happier by allowing the consent banners instead.

From the working party back then, which was promptly rejected in the final GDPR we have today:

2016

The Working Party recommends rephrasing the requirements in the current Recital 66 of Directive 2009/136/EC. Instead of relying on website operators to obtain consent on behalf of third parties (such as advertising and social networks), manufacturers of browsers and other software or operating systems should be encouraged to develop, implement and ensure effective user empowerment, by offering control tools within the browser (or other software or operating system) such as Do Not Track (DNT), or other technical means that allow users to easily express and withdraw their specific consent, in accordance with Article 7 of the GDPR. Such tools can be offered to the user at the initial set-up with privacy-friendly default settings. Adherence to accepted technical and policy compliance standards must become a common practice. In addition, website operators should respect and adhere to browser control tools or other user preference settings.

2017

The Working Party recommends that terminal equipment and software must by default offer privacy protective settings, and offer clear options to users to confirm or change these default settings during installation. The settings must be easily accessible during use. Users must be enabled to signal specific consent through their browser settings. Privacy preferences should not be limited to interference by third parties or be limited to cookies. The Working Party strongly recommends to make adherence to the Do Not Track standard mandatory.

Heck, the W3C was even talking about working to make it happen.

Point is, the EU sucked up to corporations, surprise surprise.

I’d like to believe that they were honorable enough

In the future, will you still believe Microsoft (or any other big tech company) has honor not to do stupid shit?

Azure (and all of cloud compute) is the Extend phase of open source. I’m just waiting to see what the extinguish one will be.

“Store owner invited robbers at night to steal their own goods” is how this article would word that

This isnt a leak. This is incompetency.

Get a load of this guy

Neuromancer reference, btw

The dilemma is “would you push a button for money” not “would you push a button knowing what it did for money”
