Tech Layoffs accelerate
I just halted a job interview process - due to self respect.
Retail spending is starting to look more and more like the labor market (only the wealthy are spending)

The most affluent consumers account for a bigger share of total US spending, reinforcing the lopsided dynamic of unbothered consumption for the wealthy and more cautious shopping for everyone else.
installing Windows 10 pro without an account.
installing Windows 10 pro without an account. - Lemmy.world
It’s been a few years since I’ve needed to install a version of Windows on a PC for personal use. I have a license for Windows 10 Pro, but today I found out it is no longer possible to get through the installation without first creating an account with Microsoft. I don’t want to do this. Does anybody have any way to get around it? The stuff I’ve read online basically ends up being create your account switch to a local account after installation and delete your account. I want a better solution. Would installing a much older version of Windows 10 work? The whole reason I got an msdn license back in the day is so I didn’t have to do this.

I included a comment that is a prime example of how willfully blind people are concerning the value of privacy. This was part of a thread about a mews post of a person who had his Amazon Smart Home bricked because a delivery person thought he was racist. It’s a troubling read, because if most people really are this way, the fight for legally enforced privacy will fail. What do you think of this? — >Do you think they could have turned off the in the first place if they did not have personal details tied to those devices and full control of those devices? Yes, assuming that we still need an input device of some sort. Because the input could make it give a different output, such as not running, even if it didn’t know that you were the one it was blocking. Maybe that couldn’t cascade to all of your devices, but certainly the ones that received the input that caused them to brick themselves. But, then again in a mesh network they probably could send a brick signal to all co-networked devices. >What if someone decided to use something you did in the “privacy” of your own home to blackmail you? Embarass you? Would you feel safe? I certainly wouldn’t like that. Fortunately, those actions are illegal. The problem here isn’t privacy, so much as it is blackmail. It doesn’t matter to me, if a passive recording picks up me doing something embarrassing. The thing that matters is using the data in the wrong way, or not having controls around the data. >What if something you do all the time suddenly becomes illegal and you could be prosecuted based on surveillance footage inside your home? Well, I guess I’d better stop doing that thing or move. But, that is only marginally relevant to this case. If you are a criminal, there will be evidence of the crime. >Do you think they cannot access the video and audio from those devices? Sure they can, but passive access isn’t a problem. The problem is using the data badly.

community consolidation
community consolidation - Lemmy.world
As lemmy grows organically, there will be continuous increases in duplicate communities. This poses a long-term problem because I don’t think most people want to subscribe to half a dozen or more communities that are essentially the same. Is there any chance that the thought leaders of Lemmy which probably includes the largest servers owners could come together and start proposing ideas? I see a potential troubling issue with the idea in terms of combining the existing history of the duplicates communities. Perhaps a new concept of community@global could be thought through.
