That “usually nothing bad happens” will have to do.

It’s not just that. Most people here are into far left, anti-capitalist bs and people don’t care to deal with that

Nicer UI. Not exactly sure how the whole thing works, I think you are somehow able to enable/disable certain add-ons and from what I can gather extendes has a few more. Tl;dr: It’s better, consider giving it a try.

Then repeat this process every few months the device decides it needs to ask the password of you again. Not playing this game

I always thought the reason they don’t take any action, is exactly because adblockers would then work as the guy above described.

Companies posting ads would eventually become aware, that a not insignificant portion of viewers don’t even see the ads they are paying for. I don’t see how this won’t cause a backlash… i guess youtube calculated that in and thinks it’ll be worth it any way.

Same. If it wasn’t for my adblockers, I’d have stopped using youtube long ago.

I’m a student; Unions are great; the meme is just shit

Make something that’s actually funny?

…which would be valid

I was turned off from the moment i saw at least most romance characters look 40-50 years old. Who the f wants those kinds of storylines with someone old enough to be their mom?

Superbly shitty meme, wow

He got his money back and a 5dollar gift code. Shit happens

It’s not like i’d have a choice. I envy anyone who can just wake up during the night for anything short of an absolute emergency.

When my puppy was smaller and not yet potty trained, i did sometimes wake up to poop on my floor… but i was awoken by my alarm and not by the smell. So I ain’t even noticing pooping or puking in the middle of the night.

Dude, if my dog pooped in my room during the night and by some miracle i woke up to notice that, there is no way in hell I can raise the strength to stand up and go clean

I can’t believe i never thought of this.

You are not connected to a grid, by having electrodes measure potential differences in your brain. If the chip (outside of your brain) were to malfunction, then the interface would simply no longer work. big deal. you replace it.

Again, wtf do you think a brain inplant is?

Not how a brain implant works.

If I could have direct interface to my devices (write text by thinking it, control video game characters,…) I would get one in a heartbeat.

Sadly it’ll be a while until the tech comes that far and it’ll have strictly medical usecases for quite some time.

Yeah programmers is the obvious one profession, that might largely be an exception. I don’t really know how progress in that profession is tracked or how you integrate newcomers into the team, but I suppose there may not be a huge disadvantage.

Also, your points are all personal ones, which I obviously grant. However, seeing this from an employers side of view, it’s a much harder sale.

The “we’d be more productive”-trope is not only not clearly true, but clearly wrong for most professions. Point and case: https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/be147193-0d32-41f5-9112-400f6e374f07.jpeg

Could be, but the chances of that happening are next to zero and it’d be foolish to assume this is the peak.

Because the largest portion of employees are stuck in job, which they don’t love and for which they won’t give more than the minimum required effort. The minimum required effort becomes less, when there is less supervision.

Productiveness also obviously decreases, when you have to communicate with your colleges via zoom, instead of just speaking to them over the table. Seems like none of you had to work yet, but there are few jobs in which you need almost no communication and cooperation with coworkers.

Also most jobs require walking through the building (even if you sit behind a computer most of the day), because pretty much every company has a portion of its business that can’t be digitized. Can’t go down into the storage hall of a carrier firm to fix workers messing up the labeling, when you are working from home.
