Honestly, the best you can do is try a bunch of stuff and research the company if you like it. It also really depends on how you define an ethical company. Even if you remove capitalism from it, if you look into deeply enough you’re going to find that every company has done something unethical or works with an unethical party within their supply chain.

Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.

Honestly, I mostly use it to find local shows. I haven’t found a good replacement for finding that kind of thing.

Yes! That is the word I was blanking on!

An art project/bench outside of my high school the last day of senior year while waiting for friends to finish finals. I forget the term, but the bench was covered in small glass/ceramic pieces to form a pattern on it. Super uncomfortable, would not recommend

That depends on management, however it definitely could benefit the company.

I think the biggest issue is that a bunch of people are, probably unexpectedly, out of a job.

I don’t own a cloak, but I’m 90% confident that they’re more convenient than coats/jackets

That’s a bingo…

But depending on cost, in my hopeful optimistic universe, that could mean bringing back replaceable batteries.

Human brains have the strangest triggers.

‘This exact thing will definitely kill me, this nearly identical thing is fine.’

Existence is wild.

If/when this happens it will just lead to a rise in aftermarket products to disable the feature.

Hell, since they will probably use AI to parse the audio you can probably use it to fuck with your friends. Like when people would put out hyper-specific FB ads but via cars.

If they don’t call it Chick-fa-licks I’ll be disappointed. I mean as a whole I find the company upsetting already, but I will add disappointment to that.

What’s going on with that guy?

It’s called working in IT. Gotta make sure those servers are up.

I don’t know what that is, but it sounds like something to check out. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I guess my comment did come off like that. Oh well, live and learn.

Oh I get that, I’d do the same in his position. I just literally meant I found it amusing.

It’s always a little amusing when grandiose anti-Google claims are made on a platform owned by Google.

Never wanted them, pretty sure I’d have a mental breakdown if I tried to raise one

I will say this as often as I can, getting the ol snip snip was the best decision I’ve ever made.
