This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
So much talent locked up in big tech. I wish they would all unionize and also leave and launch open source startups.
Open source still doesn't have a good funding model.
open source startups are still part of the same ecosystem that fuels big tech. Big tech, being more powerful, can capture commons very easily and that's true for the vast majority of open-source code. The very concept of open-source was conceived by a person with the same ideological and cultural background of the tech oligarchs now in power.
That's just doomerism.
The year is 1788, and we are all French peasants...
Good. If you still work for Meta, you're either a garbage prson, a bootlicker or a techbro.
Get stepped on, and not in a kinky way.
There are also people staying to try to unionize or sabotage the company. Don't bundle them with the scabs. Quitting won't change much within meta.
They’re still working for a company that engages in mass data collection and selling people’s private info to the highest bidder. A union at the company doesn’t make that ethical.
Until it starts using its power to decide what technology and contracts are taken by the company. That's the endgame of the tech labor movement and the labor movement in a lot of industries that deal with ugly stuff.
Also there's no ethical production under capitalism.
By working for a company and thus make them dependent on your labor (to some degree) you have power. By not working for that company, you have no power.
Fair point.
meta employees need to unionize and strike. honest to god for the good of all mankind. facebook is an incredibly dangerous propaganda tool
Good! How else will the Engineers, Researchers, Support Staff and Coders continue to Improve the Product if the EXECUTIVES don't make More?
Oh, you don't need those people anymore. Because AI. Or some shit.
I did nazi that coming.
Surprised Pikachu face.
Funny that
is this from I have no mouth and I must scream
Yep.
There was a point and click adventure harken Ellis helped with that fleshed the story out.
that was really fucked up and I don't know how I feel about playing a game about it but I'll probably end up doing it once of these days. truly "art" and not just dumb entertainment
The best end to the game has you help resolve what is wrong with these people and destroy AM.
And all that only a tiny portion of the hate i feel for greedy billionaires who destroy the lives of millions because they want even more wealth and power
