@nxadm yes, and #Phison as manufacturer für #Flash-Controllers on #Consumer-SSDs already publicly rang the alarm bell that the #AIbubble will kill #ConsumerElectronics and run [their clients (!!!)] manufacturers into the ground.

  • Point is that once the average #WageWorker's productivity, spending and wellbeing is irrelevant, they'll get jettisoned from the system.
    • You can see that with the decline.of the #UK & #USA the most!

@patricks precisely!

#TaxTheRich harder than any #WageWorker earning the same income with #WageWork!

@ity @condret my criticism is not re: software versions in detail, but rather that many benchmarking and comparison videos are either using unrealistic high-end setups the average #WageWorker can't afford and/or are setup as #RageBait content!

  • With #Greedflation kicking into higher gear than ever in our lifetimes up to this point, more #LowSpecGaming & #BudgetBuilds should be accounted for, espechally when a modern "midrange" PC can cost more than a brand-new 50cm³ scooter…

@msokiovt granted the #USD's sole value has always been it's #fungibility.

So when the #HousingBubble bursted in 2008 the USA was quick to divert attention to places like #Greece which are way healthier in terms of #economy before #austerity #politricks because >80% of all greek citizens at the time owned their home (or cohabilitated with the homeowner and thus weren't tennants!)...

And until every "#Normie" (regardless if #WageWorker or #Precariat) gets that #SystemChangeNotClimateChange isn't "revolutionary" but a necessity for the #survival of #humanity shit won't change!

#USpol #capitalism #crapitalism #fascism

Maybe it's me as a 33 years "old fuck" who doesn't get "Why" anyone wants to have "#SmartShoes" or whatever or maybe I as a #WageWorker am "too poor" to understand the appeal of the #juicero's shitty design and #InkjetPrinter-style #DRM on it's overpriced plastic bags...

@Greengordon @dyckron yeah, but that would mean people would face #WageWorkers and not have their #classist #segregation that all those rich wankers suffering from #EliteProjection have!

  • And people making 6 figures or more can't be expected to use the same transportation as minimum-#Wageworkers. They may have to subject themselves to eye-contact with a homeless person and that would shock them so hard that they may spill their chai latter over their iPad Pro during commute...

The same folks also want #zoox #RoboTaxis & #VoloCopter #FlyingTaxis so they don't have to #tip a driver/pilot or even fake politeness towards a #WageWorker!

Why Self-Driving Taxis are a Terrible Idea

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @AnarchoNinaAnalyzes the problem is they are way better at #Propaganda and #MassManipulation, otherwise no #WageWorker would vote for their candidates.

  • And that is literally the problem!

By the time we'd see any #uprising they'd already entrench themselves with people willing to mow down unarmed protestprs with belt-fed machineguns and automatic grenade launchers without hesitation.

@anon_opin not to mention:

People who "make a living" off "#ConditionlessIncome" aka. #RoboWealth with #CapitalGains, #Dividents, #InterestRates and #Rent should also be subject to the same #SocialSecurity and #Healthcare #Premiums and #Insurance terms as if they were #WageWorkers with the same #income.

  • After all, even a #Billionaire or #Investor can become #unemployed by virtue of loosing #wealth and/or unable to work by virtue of an accident, and it's safe to assume they could even become in need of permanent care.

So it seems fair to demand they also pay their "#FairShare", cuz if I as a #WageWorker can afford ~18% for #HealthInsurance and ~30% in terms of #IncomeTax, then they too can afford that!

#SocialJustice #InomeEquality #Equality #TouchGrass #SocialEquality #Billionares

@davidaugust nodds in agreement

And I think if any #Billionaire has self-preservation instinct left, they'd kinda not start pissing off more #Wageworker|s...

  • Cuz when people have nothing to loose they can get some very nasty ideas...

@threetails I think #juicero didn't die from that alone.

It's exceessive #DRM and absurd pricing including artificially shortened livespan of the consumeables as well as the pulic roasting by #Bloomberg AND it's absurdly, extremely, expensive machining that'll make aerospace engineers orgasm amidst it's absurd tightness with like guide pins so precise they are basically airtight...

  • This is machine was introduced at $700 MSRP and just by the parts alone must cost at least > €1k just in machining time alone!

OFC like with #GameConsoles up the 7th generation it was desined as "Razor and Blades model" so that the fact that said juice packs are only sold as subscriptions and used DRM was intended to ROI within like a year or two, and with the high price tag of the machine and subscription they propably wanted to release a premium product since the average #WageWorker can't afford to spend $2k+ per year just on fruit juice alone!

  • I think that they could've built something better and simpler with like a roller and a flat surface for way less money as a mass product or instead of generating a shitload of plastic to burn away, just build an easy-to-clean, commercial-grade juicer with like self-cleaning tech built in so it's easier for any café or bar to offer freshly pressed juice.

But that doesn't mean one would get like #subscription revenue unless it was a defectively designed product like the Ice Cream Machines at McDonald's USA with #AntiRepairDesign and nonsensical #UI & #UX instead of simple output (like the Ice cream machines in the EU and espechally Germany spit out on their LCDs) saying what's wrong or what the status is....

#LateStageCapitalism and #Enshittification is what juicero embodies, because the core product could've been a success with less #greed and more reasonable price and without DRM bs, because the core idea would make it a very clean, simple and accessible way to make fresh juice as they did in fact just bag up fruit to seeze.

It's just that the Enshittification turned it into a sort-of #SeeFood repitch at best and noone told the Engineers that this machine has to be sold at a reasonable price and with reasonable profit out of the gate, so they violated every rule in the book to make this a good product.

  • So not only does it come with an insultingly high price tag and burns #VCmoney faster than the #EvilCorp CTO but unlike the expensive proprietary razor blades like that Gilette stuff they didn't even deliver a good combo result at all.

This was an avoidable trash fire as they never sold the packs cheap in groceries nor the machine at an absurdly cheap price.
