Tech@programming.dev•Male Drivers Sue Uber and Lyft Over Women-Only Ride-Hailing
11·3 months agoNo I just said that this policy could be acceptable if it was being implemented as an industry-wide regulation by the state. This would require a non-bourgeois controlled state. Don’t deflect from my point that this is being thrown out by Uber to distract from them failing to respond to user abuse reports and the women have to accept lower quality service (fewer available drivers even if prices are equalized to make up for that by the algo and do we know how their proprietary algo works or will work going forward?) to utilize it.
Since this is being challenged in courts as OP’s post shows it’s even more of a nothingburger from Uber…

Tech@programming.dev•Male Drivers Sue Uber and Lyft Over Women-Only Ride-Hailing
11·3 months agoI’m not against a policy like this in all cases, because men are obviously going to commit many times more assaults than women. Very controversial take among some but separate male and female spaces should exist, as long as they are part of community resources though, not corporate branding shit, not reactionary political groups (duh, but whatever you guys all have law enforcement infested with this rather than LEO cracking down on it). This is however collective punishment against men who have already been forced into gig work, particularly migrant dudes with families they send money back to (Uber loves taking advantage of dubious situations this is a way that the US exploits third world labor power). What you’re describing is a company famous for doing illegal shit adding a dumb filter instead of actually pursuing harassment and assault reports. Doesn’t that score a point against the policy if they threw it out as a red herring? He’s right that a shitton of marginalized men are catching strays here.
If you think Uber is this really epic progressive company btw they famously had to delete a post where they used customer data to show how many people experienced a one-off hookup followed by a walk of shame on Valentine’s Day. Doesn’t that just make you so excited? I will be delighted to see what new kinds of eugenics experiments that you let tech companies run on all of you & your families!!!
Should I even bother raising the question of whether a company ought to dictate social policies like this? Don’t want to trigger too much cognitive dissonance at once. People on here are too fragile. Like lol the implication that men won’t rape other men or it’s not worth considering. Typical. Of course no nonbinary person would rape either. Believable premises.
Oh and on top of all that, women and “enbies” are supposed to accept worse service for a lower likelihood of being raped. Thank you so much Uber!!! Awesome company!!! Race filter next!!! /s /s /s
Hell what is even the point of a society where you know that Uber banning a driver is the most punishment the rapist will receive if they’re not brown enough for the cops to give a shit. How the fuck does anyone take this kind of thing seriously from the company that just straight up ignored laws everywhere and got away w it i will never understand

Linux@programming.dev•Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

71·3 months agoMy advice is when you recommend Linux, do it for a specific reason, not a general philosophical one (it does not motivate them like you), and do not move up generationally. Older people generally have more elaborate workflows and unlearning then may not be worth it for them.

Tech@programming.dev•"We need to go beyond Signal" – How today's AWS outage shows the weaknesses of centralized apps
3·4 months agoWell unfortunately you could never have a giant group chat in Delta currently due to the lack of moderation features. XMPP is better for that. I completely agree though that Delta (and Arcane Chat especially shoutout ADB great guy) has many of the privacy improvements that something like Signal ought to. It’s stupendous for handing limited connectivity, the bots and apps are awesome (better than Matrix by far) and unlike the more commonly promoted alternatives that are dependent on US state dept funding (Signal and Matrix), XMPP and Delta Chat use W3C internet standards
Although they are trying to get picked up by the EU who are ignoring them 😅 not much better than state dept. Delta is just so interestingg
It’s fine Snap, I didn’t need to be able to set a default browser or connect it to other programs anyways ☺️

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary...
30·4 months agoYeah also if you make a Zim wiki or convert a website into Zim then you can run that stuff too. If you use Emacs it’s easy to convert some pages to wikitext for Zim too

24·4 months agoThis really raises a lot of questions about Factorio’s story and worldbuilding 😔
No, he was a competent leader. Why on earth wouldn’t he have counterintelligence operations against the CIA and others? Do you remember what they did to their own citizens during the war “just in case we need to do it to the Soviets and not just black people 😉”. Are you advocating defenselessness against the torture regime of the USA?

11·4 months agoI have spoken to Uyghurs in Xinjiang and I have engaged on Xitter with their government-in-exile in Washington D.C. and I know who I stand with on this issue. I hope to see Xinjiang with my own eyes someday soon. The Taklamayan Desert is too captivating, even in pictures. I must hold its grains in my hand. Soon. The sands are calling @balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one. The sands are calling.
That or SchildiChat X have their own issues. It’s mid. Just not a good skype replacement
Do not under any circumstances download a mobile client it murdered my battery which ordinarily runs Cheogram and Delta Chat all night without a hitch

That’s a good imitation of AI quipping, but you know very well that’s not what bothers you about how I talk. You are now blocked for being annoying on purpose when I gave you new information. You’re typical
