At this point is anyone surprised at what Amazon will do to the plebeian workers that fuel them?

Lets wait and see why the pilot who overshot the runway didn't do a go-around instead of attempting to land, pressuring airplane pilots would certainly take them to another level in my eyes.

The pilots have union supposedly. I wonder if AMZN was able to break through here. May be it was "positive" pressure - i.e. bonuses for saving fuel/time/etc.

Another level, yes, but not a surprising one.

At this point, do people prefer to accept a claim in a lawsuit as the truth if it happens to conform to their model of reality?

So much of social media (low voted submissions here too) boils down to people fighting over ideological symbols or trying to hear a series of appropriate echoes. If you support the suit you probably "hate Amazon" and if you don't "You're a bootlicker".

The idea that you could not support Amazon or their practices, but also not take this lawsuit as some grand symbol of everything wrong with Amazon and the world is nuance most find repellent online, and increasingly offline.


Why reflexively side with Amazon on this? They've been known to engage in such anti-workers practice, and have spent millions on union-busting and other illegal stuff like this.

My comment does not indicate I sided with anyone, nor should anyone else solely based on the information the a claim in a lawsuit exists.

Yes, it's pretty clear that's a common pattern.

When it comes to a company known to hire union-busters rather than deal with a burgeoning union in good faith? Yes. Yes they do.

If you take the time to really think through the implications of that viewpoint, you might be horrified by the outputs you get.

I can't wait to see how bad the hinge does with ifixit.

GM tried for years building their own infotainment system internally and never made one anyone liked until they just integrated android auto/car play finally. It was an admission of defeat in doing so, but made everyone happy. When they announced pulling this back, I laughed, thinking "trying to put the rabbit back in the bag, eh?"

Would I buy a car without android auto as an android user? No, end of story. GM can die like other stupid heavy-handed vendors, but sadly they are too big to fail, and will drag down the nation with them.


Pay the fine, go back to exploiting humanity.

Its not enough. Shut them down.


Claude, I need a strategy for defeating unions trying to up their rates, please research union defeating settlements done in the past 50 years and build a case against them to keep our rates at the lowest possible.

Make no mistakes.


If not for creeper cops to creep, what is it for?


Google is an ad company, ad blockers are bad. Why are you using a browser from an advertising company and expecting different results?

Microsoft repurposed Google's adware in Chrome into Edge telemetry/spyware to feed your browsing directly into windows telemetry to watch everything you do, they wanted that back when IE lost the war.

Google already went evil and set the precedent removing adblocking capabilities, now Microsoft can just blame them and feed everything you do into Bing for ad money as well as telemetry/spyware without you blocking it, that's effectively double-dipping all in on stupid windows users.


I use Chrome. uBlock Origin Lite works fine, basically as well as the old uBlock as far as I can tell. As to why, I kind of like it - the built in Google Lens tool is cool and I don't think is in the other browsers?


Unfortunately, Chromium is widespread and extremely optimised for any HW it lays its hand on.


Hey now, I use Edge on macOS.


Why?


Firefox is my main browser, but I use all of Safari/Vivaldi/Edge with some specific configuration for some specific things. Edge primarily just to access MS sites, logging into the browser with MS account makes it easy.


They must love giving their personal information to Microsoft. Mac users are used to it with the icloud "privacy" proxy they default enable on macos/ios users to slurp everything they do already, so I guess why limit yourself to giving your info to only to Tim Apple. Microsoft needs love too.


A shame I can’t downvote this. It is both factually false, and worded in a very aggressive way.

iCloud private relay is only available for iCloud+ users. It cannot be enabled by default, and is not, even for iCloud+ users BTW.

iCloud private relay is a novel dual-party VPN-like technology where neither party involved gets to be able to track the user, says Apple. Yes, it requires trust to believe it, but I tend to think the company the size of Apple would not go around throwing statements like these if they weren’t true, at least to the best of their knowledge, especially since privacy and trust is literally one of the core of Apple businesses… They would be lynched if it were proven that this is false.

Finally your comment was posted after the person my comment was directed to answered a perfectly reasonable answer!



They turned themselves into whores for sale to the highest bidder. I imagine if they could, cocaine brands would be on everyone's shirts and tattoo's on players foreheads.

Silly people still care about this crap.


I always find it hilarious CNN as the last bastion of democracy will slog Polymarket in their "numbers" segments constantly. Way to jerk off the president still CNN, can't turn down those advertisements.


It's probably going to come down to a whale bet on Polymarket, and Trump owed someone a call back.
