I’m at a Data Engineer and I alternative caps lock and non caps lock at random

What are you using; notepad?

(I don’t know what semicolons are for in English)

That’s only one gaming session!

IF THIS IS INTENTIONAL PUT AN UNDERSCORE BEFORE THE VARIABLE NAME YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON

Debugger? I hardly know er

That’s a very defeatist attitude. In this case Google can just sign the contract to another company, but unions do work historically.

Of course everyone deserves a raise and I do hope they get everything they’re asking for, but some people are more easily replaceable than others and in this case there might just be nothing stopping them from being replaced. It sucks, but Google isn’t technically required to negotiate.

Real talk, if this is happening to you often you’ve gotta decline more meetings.

Right, but my point was more that since a quarter of the EU uses iPhone they have iMessage by default, which could then quickly increase their userbase to a top competitor if they’re able to increase their EU smartphone market share.

I guess, but not too far behind relative to smaller messaging services right, seeing as Apple has 26% of the smartphone market share in the EU? And shouldn’t their global reach be at least somewhat considered? Seems like regulation aimed to allow smaller businesses to gain market share is letting one of the biggest companies in the world slip through.

Wait, where’s iMessage? That’s like one of the most popular messaging apps lmao

Not that I’m aware of? Not saying you personally did, I’m discussing the context. This post and the top level comments.

Like I said, that’s a fine opinion to hold. What isn’t fine is the constant spinning of facts and narratives to suit a personal bias, regardless of how I feel about that bias.

If that’s your opinion then great, that was always allowed. What I’m sick of is spinning facts and narratives to suit biases, regardless of whether or not I agree with those biases.

not because of any existing tangible evidence in this circumstance

If you’re going to quote me I’d appreciate if you didn’t cut out relevant parts of it to fit your argument.

Oh, I do. I’m my own instance admin, I work as a senior architect and grasped the concept of Fediverse quite fast.

The “you” in my comment was a generalized “you”, not you specifically.

They’re literally just taking data they need to federate, like all the other instances. Eventually people around here are going to get sick of this paranoid “fuck Meta because it’s Meta” attitude because people keep posting lame misinformation like this. I know I’m getting sick of it.

Ok, so we’re back to defederation not because of any existing tangible evidence in this circumstance, but “because it’s Meta”. It’s fine if that’s your opinion and all, but let’s stop spreading misinformation on the dangers of collecting the data required by anyone for federation.

And if you’re here and pretending to care about data privacy at least try to do the bare minimum in understanding how the Fediverse works.

Yeah, no shit, they literally can’t federate without this data, that’s how ActivityPub works lol.

Why do you think you can see lemmy.ca votes on lemmy.world?

Ethics aside, my ISP can’t even give me the speeds I’m paying for or a connection that doesn’t go down semi regularly. Who the hell would even think that they’re the ones to implement this from technical standpoint?

I’m obviously saying that humans can fix the issues, not that you should be landing broken code…
