I’m not trying to defend, I was reasoning why people would still use it and trying to start a discussion.
Why did you focus on that aspect of my quite long comment and not try to engage with any of the points I made?

So are an insanely large amount of people.
I don’t think people on here realise that we are in an echo chamber ourselves and often times not very forgiving of people with differing opinions, where I would assume we should want to bring people to our point of view by being accepting and trying to educate on our beliefs.
So in this echo chamber of what 50K MAUs it can sometimes be hard to keep sight of the fact we are the smallest of minorities in this space and what we see if absolutely not a representation of what most people in the world care about.
I’ve never used Twitter but I’m not going to shit on other people for using it.
Were you on Reddit when they had loads of jailbait subs? Would you like to labelled as part of that same group just because you shared the same space?
Does it not seem reasonable that some people might use Twitter as a means to keep in the loop and not isolate from the crazies, Nazis, bigots or whatever. You can converse with the other side if you ain’t where they’re and if we all stay in our own echo chambers what are we really achieving other than a self-righteous circle jerk?
To be abundantly clear I am including myself in this too and not just calling you out. But this place is exhausting at times, I am the most cynical person I know and this place really gives me a run for my money at times. Even in the less serious stuff, like you can’t oppose Linux here you’ll be downvoted to shit for even having a different opinion. You have to use FOSS everything, and you should even be eating open source food 😂

Hey we’ve interacted before and I tagged you as an asshole. It seems validated after reading this thread.

Thanks I understand it now.
This isn’t what we had at Apple. They would vest after two years. So after year two you would have stocks vesting every year and when you leave you would only be leaving the last two years on the table, which seems more reasonable than the Amazon example.
- Comment on This job description for a job posting by Amazon 20 hours ago:
What do you mean by back-weighted and how is it fucked up? Genuinely don’t know.
I worked for Apple on the Genius Bar in the Uk and we had the same schedule. I didn’t see it as a bad thing and when it was time to leave to become a software engineer I just had to weigh how much money I would lose that had not vested vs potential in new career.
Are they not just an incentive to keep staff. I will say that I’ve had 60+ jobs in my life and aside from my current one for a small company as an engineer, Apple was leaps and bounds above all the others in terms of support, benefits, and just a good work life balance. It was because I was surrounded by talented people and supported that I got my shit together and learned to program, which Apple also made many concessions to allow me the time.

I am currently setting up a media server but I still like to contribute money to the films I really like. Massive screen is unparalleled for the price though. You got me with the kitties though, I want to open a cinema now where you get a cat for the film too.

I like the cinema and it’s £5 and you can take your own munchies.

I can see the benefits but I can also see the downsides. Where do all the people who have driving jobs go? Do they just stop working as many might be too old to train for something new.
Where does liability fall for accidents?
What about cyberattacks? These are all things that need to be considered.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
But you missed the point in that had Netflix failed you could be here saying “see Blockbuster were correct”.
I’m not trying to be confrontational here and I’m saying this as I feel I might be coming across that way. What I’m trying to say is for every naysayer you can find someone who was the opposite and vice versa for all your examples. If that makes sense.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
I am in my 40’s and been in the internet pretty much since its inception.
I see Waymo are quite active in US cities so thanks for that.
Let’s come back in a few decades and we can look back on this and see whose guess, cause that’s all we are doing, is closest to the truth.
Just like many people could see the future of Netflix, there will always be a Blockbuster laughing them out of the room.

Steve Balmer isn’t the most sound minded individual and it’s almost expected that Microsoft is going to play down Apple.
I don’t know too much about Clifford Stall but doesn’t seem like an expert in technology and so a poor assessment is to be expected.
3D TVs. We could find people who said 3D TVs were a fad. Almost like people say both things and they can’t all be correct.
To be clear. I think self driving cars might be a think in the distant future but not in mine or my children’s lives. Tesla has an insane amount of data and even they struggle in different sunlights and you couldn’t apply to that to the uk as the roads are so different that you would need an amount of data filmed in the UK. Then do that for all countries.
Are any other manufacturers even attempting this problem because Tesla is losing market share by the day and it won’t be long before their investors will want them to stop spending money on FSD to allow them to turn a profit. What with Elon turning most people away from his companies for being a cunt.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
I’m not sure people said those things.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
Perhaps I should have been clearer.
I can’t see it taking off, anywhere really, but here particularly as our roads are very different to American roads so I don’t think they’ll have much success outside of maybe a few limited areas.
I also don’t think we will ever get to a point of self driving being very popular. As you would need to get humans to stop driving really as a mix wouldn’t be very safe.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
Perhaps there but the UK I can’t see it.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
Do you just assume everybody that gets take out, goes for fast food, or eats at a restaurant can’t cook?
Does it not seem more appropriate that they just want to have a lazy day and not cook. Your comments here reek of privilege and superiority.
Try and be better my guy. Looking at how you’ve been received here should cause you to have a little introspection in how you conduct yourself. I say this from a place of constructive criticism and not having a go at you. We all make mistakes online and we should learn from them to be better and make this community a better place for everybody.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
Are you crying here because you didn’t read the post and you regret your comments or are you still having a pop at OP?
I hope it’s the former as the latter makes you seem like a shitty person. Positive intent makes me believe it’s the former.

I don’t think we will get to a place with self driving cars.

OP. How is it 53?
13 for the two pizzas. How much are the breadsticks and dessert?
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
Yeah I’m confused about this too.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
They said they don’t use it and only use it to browse the menu.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
Even taking away all these delivery services I hate having food delivered as you don’t know how long it’s sat in the car whilst they deliver other orders. The fries are soggy and it’s just not good.
I use those sites to browse the menu then i call the restaurant, which is cheaper, then go and collect it myself.
These services have also ruined fast food. McD although shit is convenient on the commute home It’s just filled with Uber eats and Just eat drivers and really makes it slow now to get food. Then they have these screens to order on so you can’t even get hold of a member of staff to ask for salt cause they’re too cheap to leave it out like they used to.

- Comment on I'll show them 2 weeks ago:
Do you realise that we are the overwhelming minority here hanging out on lemmy?
Cause everyone of us could never use proprietary stuff again and the companies wouldn’t even notice.
The vast majority of people just want something that is convenient and where there friends are.
What consoles even exist that would be a viable replacement to an Xbox or PlayStation as I can’t think of one.
This doesn’t apply to me, I’m a PC gamer who plays two games: Minecraft and Factorio. But I’m not disillusioned into thinking that what I see on lemmy is indicative of society as a whole. I’m also quite confident that you would be using things that other people on here might call you out for.
Finally, read the room dude clearly you don’t have the votes here that people agree with you.
