    WAAH!

    How’s it feel, motherfuckers!?

    Do Meta employees tell people where they work, or do they hide it the way people hide that they’re MAGA. You know, because who would want to fuck a Meta employee?

      Shrug. Meta employees make bank.

      Dunno how attractive they are viewed as, because everyone there I personally know were already married before they joined Meta.

        That seems to be all that matters to anyone these days. “So what if I assisted the world’s biggest spy operation. I made a lot of money doing it.”

      The working class needs jobs. Capitalists own the means of production; these means require the workers. Are you arguing that some capitalists are good/bad? They all ravage the world and exploit labor as the capitalist system requires.

    This always happens.

    A company that acts without empathy for their customers will invariably act the same towards their employees. This is because the behavior is usually driven by personalities in leadership that (dis)function this way rather universally. Add the fact that empathy limits one’s ability to make money (in this economy), and that psychological modeling is a thing in the workplace, and it’s easy to see how we keep getting into trouble like this.

    There really isn’t an “at the right hand of the devil” scenario. Everyone is in his path, especially if you’re close.

      Idk if there’s any economy where greed and empathy work well together

        I think it’s possible (theoretical at least) that greed can be harnessed in specific ways to do good and even empathetic works; it’s a potent motivator after all. IMO, there’s likely a balance. But the overarching market and financial governance can’t ever be on the side of greed for that to work. Otherwise, the people in power pull all the stops and the experiment is rendered moot.

    OK, so, I hate Meta and offer no sympathy. But, if I were hypothetically in that scenario, I would work very hard to develop a keyboard centric workflow. Sure, they can key log everything, but it’s going to be way more annoying for them to go through tons and tons of TAB strokes.

    This is kinda funny because I’m getting into Fluent Search (Windows) and (trying to make) Hints (Linux) (work), so the company wouldn’t be able to collect as much data on me if my workplace were to start doing this for any reason (though that’s not the reason I’m trying these programs).

    I would just buy a mouse jiggler and flood the training data with junk inputs. Leave your computer on over night with the jiggler going.
