as an outsider, reading the forum discussion, the split is not the crisis, the crisis is already ongoing, and the split from the company is actually a step towards a good solution. Also, the discussion tone seems to be very constructive.

I just occasionally load up a whole folder of my mp3 collection and shuffle :D

Whatever floats your boat, but I think algorithmic music recommendations are utterly useless. If I want to broaden my musical horizon, I absolutely want chance to be an element in that. Be it radio music, film music, some kind of background music in a restaurant or while shopping - whatever. I don’t need a stinking algorithm for everything :p

If you think rejecting hate speech is overblown, you might be part of the problem. It’s not a “slight disagreement” when people question the fundamental right to live of another group.

it’s been at least 15 years that I’ve known better than to buy any HP products. Still - fuck their CEO(s) with a rusty rebar.

see how much opinions can differ: I am not glad about anyone getting murdered (neither am I sad about this particular one), but I think that people propagating hate and intolerance should focus on therapy, not open source.

I don’t think it’s overblowing things at all when I look at these tweets: https://nitter.net/awesomekling/status/1966456391146606806 https://nitter.net/awesomekling/status/1971287738268909576

That dev seems to be a real piece of shit.

Main reasons I stopped buying Fairphones:

• too big
• focus on fair-trade (fair enough) but not on free operating systems
• sustainability: by the time my FP2 partially broke (USB charger port), they were no longer selling spare parts

Other than that - it’s a great company and a team of good people.

technically you could do both, it’s just not practical at all :)

you can store anything in CSV, it’s just not always very practical ;)

There’s an earlier one: Episode 7 overall, “White Christmas”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)

there’s no mention of “privately” (some people work at home) and with the introduction, poster is giving the opposite impression - ragebaiting at the very least.

here’s hoping you are just trolling, because people with that kind of approach to medical devices should be in prison.

That’s only one country though, whereas amazon is evil world-wide.

And then have the nerve to argue on behalf of “poor people” most of whom probably don’t have any spare money to buy convenience products on amazon.

You missed the point completely, so I’ll lay it out for you: Everyone has to draw a line SOMEWHERE. And when a country whose government sends fascist death squads into the streets is supported by a company, there’s a fuckton of lines to be drawn.

There’s ZERO excuse for doing business with amazon. No one is starving because they can’t shop there. So GTFO with your lazy ass morally corrupt exuses.

“some people don’t have the luxury of considering whether their product is made from death camp body parts when they’re just simply trying to get by”

Oh wow. I thought I couldn’t despise that piece of shit any more than I already did. Fuck you, Lennart Poettering, may you burn in some fiery place in the afterlife you useless corporate lickspittle.

so much wrong with this title.

• it’s not AI, it’s LLM slop bullshit
• it’s not the software at guilt here, it’s the sacks of shit running those companies who plan such data centers
• blamed? No, those shitheads are totally and absolutely responsible for this clusterfuck.

As an engineer, I second this. Unfortunately, many engineers fail to ever acquire a conscience.
