I don’t think many people would claim overall valuation has much of anything to do with the value labor brings to an organization.

Apologies, can you clarify what exactly you mean by this? Because when I say their labour is not being valued, I do extend that to the Wall Street orgs that are doing the evaluations. They look at the “product” on offer, not the people actually working and developing it.

Are you saying because stock prices aren’t steady, we can’t correlate that to salaries?

Brilliant, thanks for this!

I said in a comment on mastodon that I don’t think the batch of newer employees hired at Nvidia are going to have anywhere near the same compensation as the current employees do, and this kind of helps support my suspicions…

Which could lead to a morale problem in the company too (speaking from experience)

Well, they technically will see SOME cents of this because I’m pretty sure Nvidia gives employees stocks too.

But yeah, I also posted this because it’s a clear illustration of how most salaries will never reflect the value your labour brings to an organization.

It’s really fucking weird to see the disconnect between the powers that be and regular people regarding Israel/Gaza.

I can’t really think of anything in my lifetime that had the same disconnect. Was the invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq this protested? Vietnam maybe?

This is why I report the job postings to the website posted, and to my country’s department of labour. I know it seems futile, but I’m petty and I have time.

Turns out, it’s actually helpful, I had someone reach out to me saying they were investigating a certain company, and if I had any more information about the screenshot I sent them a year ago.

I’m realizing I don’t even know the slurs associated with those races, never mind food referring to those slurs.

…I should really go thank my grandparents.

To your first point, I just automatically assumed that it was to feed into Samsung AI. I’m not a values customer, but my data sure is 🤡

Google doesn’t sell your data because they don’t need to. They take the data and use something called Real Time Bidding that also skirts GDPR and data protection laws/best practices.

People in this thread are really showing their ass about how little they know about how their data is actually being collected and protected. Sure, Proton isn’t 100% private, but to say Proton and Gmail are on the same levels of consumer protection is hilarious.

RUNNING IPAD OS?? Apple what is happening 😭

Why is a company called “Moroccan Oil” from Israel? I feel like they should be from…somewhere else.

If you have any tips or tricks for DDG please do share! I’m definitely getting better overall results there, but the local ones can still be a bit rough.

Yeah, these loud “proclamations” of not voting for Biden really remind me of the 2016 American election comment’s regarding Hillary on Reddit, sometimes almost word for word…

A weighted blanket.

Don’t get one too heavy though, I accidentally did and I gave myself sleep paralysis for a week or so. That was fun.

I’m flying on a 737 this Saturday, wish me luck 🥲

That was the Ethiopian Air and Lion Air accidents, right? I remember Boeing’s initial statements around that was something like “pilot error due to inadequate training and controls” and how…condescending it sounded. Of course it couldn’t be Boeing’s fault, the accidents happened in so-called developing countries with no regulations!

Then the news came out that Lion Air literally almost had the same error happen the day before the crash, and it was prevented by a 3rd pilot in the jump seat identifying the problem with the sensors and MCAS. Boeing sure shut up fast when the crash investigations corroborated that.

I love this meme format

I have not! Is that a show or documentary? I’ll have to look it up.

And chicken’s can be cute too! I had a hen that would sleep with me at our farm. She would sleep on top of me and try to cover me from the cold like they do to their eggs haha.

I don’t think you (or other people) should necessarily feel bad about eating cows and chickens, that’s just part of the lifecycle (and we humans are a part of that). It’s the awful conditions that we as a society breed, raise, and end these animal’s lives in for luxuries that we should feel bad about.

Pigs and cows are quite different from dogs in a few ways. Dogs have been bred for various roles, like being our friends, helpers, or protectors, while pigs and cows have been raised mainly for food like meat.

This view comes from people who have never had to consider how their meat gets on their table, and it’s one of the reasons I have such a strong distaste for the modern factory farming culture.

I grew up in rural Asia before moving to Europe. We had to raise any meat we wanted to eat. Pigs, cows, chickens are no different than dogs in that they all unique beings that have their own distinct personalities, likes, dislikes, and even favourite people. Yes, we still ate them, but we treated them like living beings that were giving their lives for our sustenance and survival. They were treated with respect, and no part of them was wasted. This is really not a mentality you see in society nowadays.

I still eat meat, but I try to find small, local farmers and don’t really eat meat when I eat out. I wish I could take care of my own livestock again, as they were truly our family’s companions that were essential for our survival at the time. They were just as important to me as my cat and dog sitting at my feet currently. The commodification of these animal’s lives as it relates to human profit is just a sad thought to me.

I know this is probably not a popular view, or maybe even a well thought out one. But it’s mine.
