The bitter sarcasm of a veteran who saw this coming by virtue of having caused it?

a bit of this. Although in my defense, I wasnt working in advertising at the time (my company didnt even have an advertising division)

also, i dont work for one of the big tech companies that have their claws in your digital life. But i can see how it contributes at some level, however minor.

And 80% of his cycling team

20-30% will never be allies because the 0.001% has fooled you into wasting energy denouncing your fellow working class

(i probably fall into your strawman 20-30% that you think cannot be working class because i make more than minimum wage)

even though you dream about guillotining me when the glorious workers revolution happens in the future, i will fight for our cause today

Getting out of the grasp of big tech.

Been self hosting for over 10 years before anyone coined the term enshittification. When i started, i could never imagine things getting THIS BAD with tech companies. I am happier and happier with my decision to self host things every day

I work in advertising

Exactly.

Exhibit A: my downvotes

This thread is exactly what i’m talking about…

We should be building guillotines together. Instead we wasted energy arguing and gatekeeping about which workers count as “working class”, playing some kind of oppression olympics on who has the shittiest working conditions, or who has the purest socialist ideology…

“well this person has health benefits and 5 weeks vacation, NOT WORKING CLASS!!!”

“that person hasnt read the communist manifesto and works for a publicly traded corporation, NOT WORKING CLASS!!”

the irony is that the people who gatekeep the hardest about this shit are probably the ones suffering the most under our broken system. Yet they spend their energy alienating allies instead of including everyone

Lemmy’s definition of working class has become “must keep working or will starve within a week…”

if you have an emergency fund or any kind of retirement savings/investment, you are automatically a class traitor. The amount of purity tests you have to pass here to claim working class is crazy

Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore

The rest of the world cannot comprehend such freedom

Pizza hut buffet!

I imagine it’s a point of pride for many americans

Some of the things in my house were set up so long ago, and running so smoothly, i havent looked at them in years (other than auto updates) now i’m afraid i’ve accidentally left some security hole without realizing it

For example, i set up cerbot 10 years ago and back then there was no DNS challenge, so i had to open my webserver to port 80 to renew… well since everything was running from https/443, i decided to block port 80

so i edited the systemctl unit for certbot to temporarily open port 80 for the renewal, and close it right after…

It was only 5 years later i realized i made a mistake and port 80 had been open for 5 years to the open internet

Probably no harm since its a public server anyway… defense in depth is the key

Finland already has very good datacenter companies, as one would expect…

I moved my VPS to a finnish company almost 10 years ago before data sovereignty was cool

Libs vs tankies is just another distraction by the owner class to keep us divided… so tired of these memes on lemmy…

We are all working class

There is no war but class war

Wrong…

All publicity is good publicity… especially for our boy Luigi

I’m not some financial/legal genius and even i could have thought of this loophole.

We have the same problem in canada with companies leaving orphaned wells

Lawmakers should have foreseen this and adjusted the law accordingly… its either incomptence or deliberately leaving an escape hatch for their rich oil donors

meetings where they say “nothing to add on my end” don’t count towards that total.

I feel personally attacked… i’m not a rich exec and yet half my week is bullshit meetings where i end up saying “nothing to add” when its my turn after an hour of listening to sales directors/execs jerk each other off… it’s the execs that set up those meetings, not the workers…

are you saying my hours in bullshit meetings should be unpaid?

also, if we didnt just let these multinational oil companies just siphon off all the profits and leave messy orphaned wells for the public to clean up, albertans would be better off

If we had started a sovereign wealth fund like norway, instead of shipping all the profits overseas, we would all be better off…

I would actually support oil and gas if it actually benefitted the nation.

Canada got rid of the british, but not the corporations that are the true colonizers still extracting from the land and the people and sending the wealth overseas

Debian unstable is not a distro…

You cant complain about software breakage in a software that is still under development

Consider it as an early access game on steam.

My net worth is probably a lot to those clueless wonders who carelessly throw numbers around. I’m utterly opposed to the fascists in power and want them not only removed, but to face justice, and for the system to be reformed to prevent them ever getting power again.

yep… a lot of lemmy thinks that if you have a stock portfolio, you’re automatically some rich republican voter…

like i get it… a lot of people are struggling REALLY bad… but we must not fracture ourselves based on different tiers of “working class”

a doctor making $500k, with $2M in assets and investments is ALSO working class… fighting amongst ourselves is just crab-bucket mentality and exactly what the billionaire class wants us wasting energy on.

there is no war, but class war
