Vaguely related, but there is an awful movie released that tried to capture that sweet sweet rollerblade money in the 90s called Prayer of the Roller boys.

Hold up. Top 20% in US is only about $130k. Fairly easy for a dual income house to make.

Not exactly the sort of people who are profiteering off others.

Not if I see you first.

100% this. A former coworker was fired a month ago because he filed an HR complaint about his boss, because the boss was being an asshole to him (according to co worker).

This is the same boss who joked about beating his wife and kicking his dog in a meeting, so I’m fairly certain it’s true.

HR is NEVER your friend.

If you are willing to put in a fair amount of effort, you can have a smart home without accounts anywhere.

Most of the account based stuff is based upon open specs.

But you have to be somewhat technical and patient.

I say this as someone who hates corn starch based powder and goes out of his way to ensure his family jewels only receive the most succulent of asbestos/talc powders.

I hope J&J are right. But I am extremely skeptical. I also don’t like the chilling effect, as others have pointed out. Finally, they could be just trying to win in the court of public opinion. Never forget McDonalds hot coffee case.

You aren’t wrong, but there are some of us who just made the jump to using Lemmy more ”seriously" because of the good bye message. I’ll probably stick to reddit on my computer, but stick to Lemmy on my mobile.

Death (to reddit) by a thousand cuts, you know?
