My sound was off and I though you were rickrolling him, but I took a chance and wasn’t disappointed.

“We can never work out the algorithm,” one of the drivers says, requesting anonymity for fear of losing work. They wonder if the app ignores them if they’ve done a few jobs already that hour, and experiment with standing inside the restaurant, on the pavement or in the car park to see if subtle shifts in geolocation matter. Retail assistants say they have to pay a fee if they want to receive their wages within a month. ‘So immoral’: gig economy workers charged fee to get paid quicker Read more

“It’s an absolute nightmare,” says the driver, adding that they permanently lost access to one of the platforms over a matter of a “max five minutes” wait in getting to a restaurant while he finished another job for a different app. Sometimes he gets logged out for a couple of hours because his beard has grown, confusing the facial recognition software.

“It’s not at all like being an employee,” he says. He is regularly frustrated by having to challenge what appeared to be shortfall in pay per job – sometimes just 10p, but at other times a few pounds. “There’s nobody you can talk to. Everything is automated.”

Not to brag (I am), but we banned direct links awhile ago on People Twitter. We require archived links for well known people and politicians and allow screenshots. That seems to be a working solution.

FYI, those were trolls. You can tell by them disappearing about these topics right after the election. Also, the spamming they did on a very precise schedule.

No worries, we’re all frustrated right now.

That’s not how this works, lol.

I mean, that’s every policy of his. It’s his strategy to scream in the town square while his mob robs you.

Well you guys made everyone poor and want to kick out all the people that wanna move here

“You guys”? I didn’t vote for the orange guy, just like I’m assuming you didn’t.

I’m pretty sure most people here on Lemmy didn’t vote to elect him.

Lemmy is double-posting again. It only showed one to me but said it was cross-posted to this community.

Meta treats their influencers like shit, they are wise to avoid them.

FYI, birth rates falling is really bad for a country with capitalism. It becomes top heavy with older people and no one to work for the older people’s retirement benefits. That’s how you know all of this immigration crap is racism and breaking the government.

My plan is to get the fuck out of society and only interact as needed until the plurality wake the fuck up and do something.

I gave all my effort trying to prevent this… I canvassed, I worked with local orgs, I was boots on the ground talking to people against my own mental health and now I’m just going to retire from society as best I can and hope for an awakening…

You didn’t even have to give all your effort to have a reason to step out for awhile. Get refreshed for yourself and accept help when you need it.

My advice is to not depend on that will stuff. Help her or not, but not for money that may or may not happen. I guarantee you’ll resent her during the process because of the not knowing. I’ve known a couple of people that were depending on what the person said was in the will when it wasn’t or the will was ignored somehow. My dad would have helped anyway in his situation, but he was hurt.

Be careful about assuming that your drugs are what they’re talking about. Yours sound like they’re balancing you out. They could be cleaning out your brain. Make sure to look at the study carefully.

You’d think the Tesla stock would have gone down more after he did a Nazi salute.

Yep, he thrives on it. I recommend only reading further about stuff it’s concrete and factual, look for the helpers and try to be one of the helpers for your community.

Welcome.

The biggest thing you have to learn is that everything defaults to “active” instead of “hot.” If it seems stale after setting the primary to “hot” in your settings, choose “top 6 hours” and “top 12 hours” to see more content. It’s not as addicting so it takes a little time to settle in to the calmness, but it’s great after you get used to it.

To be fair, you’re probably more resistant than I am, since you’re on Linux. I’ve gotten ads and bought it if it’s unique and by local artists before. It has worked occasionally on me from Insta back in the day. Not recently though, so you’re right about that part.

I know you said you don’t think are all the way there, but without getting facial recognition involved. I don’t see how they would correlate the two in the first place.

If you have a phone in your pocket, they know who you are and where you are.

Device fingerprinting is a sophisticated technique employed to recognize, monitor, and track individual devices as they interact with websites and applications, by analyzing their unique characteristics. In the digital realm, it allows websites, advertisers, and security experts to monitor user activity, safeguard against cyber threats, and personalize content.

In device fingerprinting, various data points are collected to create a unique identifier for individual devices. Each data point provides specific information about the device or user, contributing to a comprehensive fingerprint.

As soon as someone enters the virtual boundary around your business or a competitor’s, your geofencing advertising campaign will send a notification or mobile ad to that person’s phone that advertises your local store, service, or product.

but idk how I feel about them advertising only their server.

That’s exactly the part. If they had said pick a bigger server, than I would have been 100%.

I’ve personally had an issue with a world admin in the past, that’s why I picked up on it. I don’t seem to be having as much issues lately, so maybe they’ve chilled. It’s the advertising part that kind of bugs me for their instance instead of Lemmy in general:

Really if you’re telling someone about it, you just tell them one of the bigger, better instances. Don’t send them to that “pick a server” thing. I don’t know if I’m allowed to link it here, but the name of the software and the word “world” with a period in between is a fine server for both Lemmy and Mastodon.

I went from a heavy, daily reddit user to making half a dozen comments here in a year. All my activity is now over there, outside of search results.
