If Japan wasn't so inherently racist to foreigners, it would be a target rich environment for people looking to invest in the culture, the country and starting a family

well, sure they can, in a snap of a finger, give 18 to 30 year old married Japanese free houses, free advanced education, and free childcare, this would get fixed in a matter of 20 years

How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?

I've been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote. I just had an introductory phone call with Vizio (which didn't specify the location type in the job listing). The recruiter told me that the job was fully on-site, which I told her was a deal breaker...

There's a lot of "play" in tasks accomplished when working in an office, not so much when companies have spy software gauging every minute one spend on their corporate owned pc's remotely, some find even less freedom when under that type of 9 hr scrutiny day in day out

why, can anyone tell me, do the ukrainians put loud awful music over all the videos? do they think we're not interested enough? and what's with the logos, this one's not bad, but some are splashed over the images so completely you can't actually see what the video is trying to show. can't anyone tell them to chill out with the logos and music? i mean, this is war, not some teenagers first foray in internet posting. end rant.

"angry ISP letters" followed by termination of service and inability to get new service from that ISP for that physical address no matter who attempts to sign up for new service under a different name. if your address is only serviced by one local ISP, and there's no good alternative, then you're fucking hosed. every other concern is a distant second to that.

If you have many choices for your Internet Service Providers where you are, go ahead, and if they terminate your service, sign up for another one, if there isn't, a VPN is absolutely necessary if only to protect your access.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

the most expected step back in the history of step backs, people were calling this day one hour one of seeing the W11 requirements, and knowing the vast majority of users were not going to simply "buy another machine" for the honor of running the latest copy of windows when windows 10 works perfectly well lol

you're still unsure as to who's been providing the majority of the drones that russia uses to kill ukrainians in their sleep, huh

downpunxx ,
@downpunxx@fedia.io avatar

that man chose to follow orders, to go along, and invade a foreign nation to kill it's citizens instead of saying no, it's wrong, i won't do that under any circumstances, so he got blown up with a washing machine tub on his head before he could kill any more ukrainians. you can feel badly for him if you like, i won't be.

ok. then you take your chances getting deaded by a drone with a washing machine tub on your head, in the dark, seeing nothing but metal

@downpunxx@fedia.io avatar

when that video went to static, it means it blew up, and it was hovering right over his tub head, so i'm guessing it got his neck, shoulders, chest, sternum, and belly. i'm guessing his head was still in one piece though, so "worked" is difficult to define

"conscripts" are still people with the power to choose what they will and what they will not do, if you choose to engage in a war of genocide for vladimir putin, pick up a gun, and shoot ukrainians protecting their out country, you're fucking foreit as a going concern in my book. you don't get to use the "well, they made me" excuse, you always have the choice in what you are willing to do, and what you are not

still a choice to get shot or shoot other people, there is always a fucking choice, always

if you watched the video, your last point seems to be demonstrably untrue, as what hit us this week, the video author is saying, was the same size and category 5 solar emission that The Carrington Event was, and we didn't experience any disruption to our satelites, or electrical grid at all, probably because we were prepared for it, which is as interesting as it gets

Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn ( techcrunch.com )

A feature Google demoed at its I/O confab yesterday, using its generative AI technology to scan voice calls in real time for conversational patterns associated with financial scams, has sent a collective shiver down the spines of privacy and security experts who are warning the feature represents the thin end of the wedge. They...
