A message for all my friends as yet unacquainted with the fediverse

ceresbzns, to random

Increasingly convinced that the job mobility of US workers found in the past 30-50 years (shoddy promotion pathing, zero formal in-house training, consistently hiring outside, essentially random layoffs) is less a product of a mercenary labor force, or even a product of managerial incompetence, than it is a deliberate strategy by enterprise owners.

Consistently losing and re-hiring workers is expensive, in both dollar and productivity terms, but you know what constantly job-hopping workers don't do? Organize.

If you're not going to be somewhere longer than 2-3 years, there's very weak incentives to build the kind of relationships that unionization efforts require. If the workplace sucks, you just leave instead of fighting for improvements with your friends.

    It's often said we should never assume malice where ignorance suffices, but I'm starting to think we underestimate malice.

    GrapheneOS is awesome.

    If you're in the market for an Android OS that respects your privacy, has secure defaults, and still enables you to use Google apps and Play store apps on your own terms - I highly recommend it. Great experience using it so far.

    ceresbzns,

    I love it, honestly. I use it for everything I used stock Pixel Android and with basically no issues: mobile banking, email, music, calls and texting, etc etc.

    Pairs nicely with yubikeys over NFC or USB, battery life has been good, no trouble installing or updating apps from Play Store or F-Droid.

    The biggest inconvenience so far was having to install a separate SMS app because native SMS is busted with no intent to fix but who cares, took me like 5 minutes to do that.

    My next goal is to eventually get off of all Google services entirely, but that's a big project. I definitely don't ever want to go back to stock Android, Graphene is a strictly better upgrade as far as I'm concerned.

    I've been using Google Maps and OpenStreet Maps regularly, no difference

    Finnish court insisted on giving CEO of grossly negligent firm a sentence for failing to protect patients from breach... but also suspended the sentence.

    Against the carceral state. That said, the behavior will not change if incentives do not change.

    Increasingly, the only option for securing data is not to produce data at all. At least for as long as the turboclowns running the corporate circuses suffer no real consequences from their massive security fails.

    Almost eleven weeks after, finally have first post-mortem income/cash flow. How the hell do we expect normal working poor to fare floating things for eleven fucking weeks?

    The whole process fucking sucks. Like, your family is devastated and also suddenly responsible for reconfiguring finances and dealing with 500 kinds of bureaucrats and funereal business vultures?

    It's very sad to me that the American Dream (tm) has gone from "work hard and you will succeed" to "find another sucker to scam and you'll get rich." Particularly since most of the folks who think they're scamming are actually the suckers.

    ceresbzns,

    @krusynth

    Beyond that, I agree with your main call to action. We should put our money towards local news and local shops and local services. I raise these points because I don't think it's useful to blame the boats for the storm.

    ceresbzns,

    @krusynth

    Two contentions, Mr Hunt

    1. "the American dream" as a cultural artifact is like, maybe 70 years old. Before that, the scam hustle was certainly still alive and well, it just took the form of land speculation and railroads or literal snake oil, etc. Or, you know, abject worker exploitation or literal slavery or genocide and ecocide and land theft.

    As it stands, that American Dream nonsense was basically a bargain for the white middle class families. The rich played their own game per usual.

    1. Blaming consumers for this phenomenon is missing literally half the picture. The other half is the OUTRAGEOUS amount of money poured into these enshittification engines by venture capital and institutional investors. So if you want to blame someone for mass-produced garbage and casino equity markets, maybe blame financiers, the rich, and the easy money policy of the past 30 years?

    @micah really great panel on the talk today. @BennettTomlin was esp incisive, per usual

    I have so many questions

    How did she get into the safe?
    Why did he have half a MILLION dollars of jewelry in it?
    Is this an insurance scam?

    Listen, I do a real bad job of living up to my own moral and ideological ideals, but this is Parks and Rec spike-the-camera level irony
