member list swipe being missing is a problem

not being able to swipe from dm to dm list is a problem

performance is a MUCH BIGGER problem than either of these, my galaxy s9+ should NOT be on its knees begging for for forgiveness by using a fucking chat app.

the prior two can be easily fixed, but the performance is really concerning. ill be using aliucord until they sort that stuff out anyway, new app is pretty but unfortunately flawed

AMDIsOurLord,

I always wondered what the FUCK are Discord doing with their shitty client app. Like, how bad is their whole Electron React bullshit going that their performance is so bad. At this point rewriting it in something native would be less bother than fixing this shit

Candelestine, in Continuous calculation

Yeah, this is one of the worst. It can do this tag team thing with “wait, did I actually remember to turn my alarm on this time…?” too. Horribly effective duo.

Some people don’t seem to understand the meme and think this pie represents a companies whole revenue. This pie represents the revenue generated from an individuals labor. The current glaring issue with capitalism is that people think your employer is entitled to a slice of the labors pie. Your employer is entitled to Zero percent of the revenue you generate from your labor! But sadly the only reason the imaginary line in the stock market goes up is become employers and “investors” have stolen your value. While the meme is over simplified it’s accurate. Also your bosses/CEOs labor value is far lower than they would have you believe.

Shop local, give money to co-ops, unionize your work place, unionize your living space (renter unions are a thing.), volunteer as often as possible, give leftovers to the homeless if you regularly don’t eat your leftovers, VOTE, attend town halls when able, get to know your neighbors even if you don’t speak the same language or have a rough past with them, I can go on but these things can help at the local level and prevent the race to the bottom we’re currently stuck in.

Kanda,

Also your bosses/CEOs labor value is far lower than they would have you believe.

Zero is a very low number, yet they make my annual every month

Gabu,

I wouldn’t call it zero, per say - they are pretty good actors, performing for a crowd of rich fucks.

Kanda,

They might be good at what they do, but where’s the value?

Asafum,

All I can say is The Big Brain Economists have said that “the labor value theory is absolutely bunk and has no basis in reality.” Along with “only marxists believe this drivel.”

I’m not A Big Brain or an economist so I can’t say why they say these things, but I have seen a lot of pushback on this concept. I think it all comes down to the “agreement” we make when we accept a job, not that we have a choice. “Not working” is only an option for those that are already rich.

GregorGizeh,

Eh, actually there are arguments to be made for the employer being entitled to a share of the value, yes.

They provide the materials, the tools and machinery, the designs that are being made (assuming some sort of manufacturing company for this example). They also carry the risk (unless of course they are a corporation, the ridiculous entity created to reap the advantages of personhood while avoiding all its responsibilities and drawbacks).

So, a slice of the pizza should be for them, but certainly not 7/8.

OurToothbrush,

They provide the materials, the tools and machinery, the designs that are being made (assuming some sort of manufacturing company for this example).

Other workers made the materials, the tools, the machinery, and the designs. If the owner did they occupy a class position as a worker and owner.

They also carry the risk (unless of course they are a corporation, the ridiculous entity created to reap the advantages of personhood while avoiding all its responsibilities and drawbacks).

The risk that they might be a worker if their venture fails.

If the owner did they occupy a class position as a worker and owner.

Yup. Employers are entitled to a portion of total revenue proportional to the value they added. In the case of employers who perform necessary work, including administrative/clerical work, this can be a healthy sum. In the case of employers who solely fit the capitalist role of investor, this amount is $0.

NatakuNox,
@NatakuNox@lemmy.world avatar

No the employer is entitled to the value of the product or service. They are not entitled to the value created by their workers.

Your Second argument is false as well because they don’t get to pass on manufacturing and designing cost to the workers! That cost should be passed onto the customer. Your argument is lie that workers should have no work without the benevolence of their employers. If their work is so meaningless that the owners are entitled to the workers pie then way do the owners need them at all? It’s the reason why corporations always threaten to replace workers with machines or outsourcing but never actually do it. It’s because the true value in a for profit company is how much value you can steal from the lowly workers. In the machine threat, hiring a electrical, robotic, and software engineers cost more than 1000 minimum wage workers. But they can’t steal those engineers value because they are well educated and know their value. It’s what the 100% of the GOP and 50% DNC hate education. Education prevents exploitation… As for outsourcing all workers are catching onto the theft and are fighting back as well. Add in shipping costs, bad pr, taxes, and time, no way outsourcing will grow like it did in the 80s/90s/2000s.

unique_hemp,

This cost is passed onto the consumer, just from what I’ve seen the value of the work calculations tend to be based on the price of the product, which actually includes this “passing on”.

BilboBargains, in They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are

Efficient at what, making profit for themselves?

drlecompte,

Efficient at using up all resources and extracting as much value from them as possible.

antrosapien,

Why is profit an only measure for efficiency?

Zacryon,

Because we live in a capitalistic society.

RaoulDook,

Yes the actual work that is getting done by the company or government is important too. Private companies generally do better at efficiency of getting work done (products or services being produced) than government. This is because government agencies are burdened with an unimaginable amount of levels of bureaucracy which kills the shit out of any efficiency. The government is the ultimate bureaucracy.

Anyone who has worked for both the government and private sector can tell you all about this. When I worked for the government it was the most boring job ever and there was so little actual work getting done that I would sit around reading a book on the job, waiting for something to do. At every non-govt job I’ve had that would not fly because the employer would see the dollars vanishing for my paid-to-do-nothing hours and put me to work doing something productive.

rchive,

In this case it’s the definition of efficiency. Efficiency = (resources used up) compared to (resources taken in). How else would you even calculate it?

RememberTheApollo_, (edited ) in They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are

Ignorant AF.

They are better at maximizing profits at the expense of the employees, benefits, wages, local taxes and infrastructure. They work for the shareholders. They shovel money to the top few percent of the company. That’s what we call “efficiency”.

The government does not profit. They government pays standard government wages along with union wages and benefits. They maintain infrastructure. They are only as efficient as contracts allow.

Corporations do not have the same goals as government. One seeks to extract maximum profits for the few at the expense of the many, the other seeks to return to the many as much as is feasible in societal good - schools, roads, power, water, etc. at no profit.

FierroGamer,

When listing what they sacrifice to maximize profit you forgot to mention service quality and customer satisfaction.

RememberTheApollo_, (edited )

Just enough service to keep you from leaving, because you know the nearest competitor will treat you just as badly.

set_secret,

Well said.

It’s hard to believe that anyone with the mental capacity to lift a spoon to their mouth would vote for the right (who are solely responsible for mass privatisation in Australia anyway, im assuming it’s the same elsewhere).

That’s a complete perversion of what corporations were , by the way.

Lexam, in Who's really coming for our jobs

Certain words over time become offensive and should no longer be used. I would ask you not to use the term “shareholders” I don’t believe it is appropriate. Try other terms that are more accurate and less offensive. For example “slave holders”, “Evil bastards”, or “Fucking capitalists scum ruining the world for everyone”.

idiomaddict, in It really makes me cringe every time they talk about logic...

I think it’s pretty logical to outwardly seem like a Mormon in Utah, so I guess it depends.

invalidname, in Surprised Pikachu

Not sure they understand the flow on effects. Those of us being affected and work in the corporate IT space who have a lot of say in what browsers are used will simply replace chrome with Firefox on our thousands of machines nationwide without a second thought. They are digging their own grave.

stolid_agnostic, (edited )

Sadly, their user base is really every idiot with a cell phone or MacBook and not those of us who do as you suggest.

rolaulten,

It’s a little more complex then that.

First we need to draft a project to keep the PMs happy. Then test the change…

Then get it through change management…

Or just have our friends in secops make it a security call and a priority. Not saying I’ve done this before - no sir.

Don’t forget the six months of complaining and loss of service desk productivity because people still can’t figure out how to import their bookmarks.

AnagrammadiCodeina,

You can script that i believe. We had multiple fuckup in our company due to poorly missmanaged browser migration.

Im in a top500 and they swapped browser to like 30% of the population without informing local IT as a test. Many people lost bookmarks I always run a firefox in parallel (against company policy but they are too bad to find out)

schema,

Their masterplan is possibly to deactivate certain websites for anything but chrome.

tacosupreme, in Why? Are we not doing enough?

I am still on Lemmy. It’s still my primary timewaster. I was clean from Reddit until a few weeks ago and I relapsed. The app is shit. Lemmy feels more like what I loved about Reddit but without the content. Reddit still has content but the app doesn’t feel good to use.I m stuck going back and forth. First to Lemmy then to Reddit. I’ll stick with Lemmy until it gets better or it dies.

LemmyKnowsBest, (edited )

When I don’t feel satisfied with Lemmy I try to go back to Reddit too, but I was so mad at them a couple weeks ago I uninstalled their app and now when I tried to install the app, they give me a list of my former BANNED usernames as an “option” to log in but they offer no option to log in under any of my VALID usernames. (Yes I do have some accounts that haven’t been banned but they won’t let me login to my good ones.)

The only options they give me are to sign in with Google or a previous banned account. They clearly don’t want me there. which is probably a good thing because this evening I went to the gym instead of wasting time on this… What should we call it… discussion format?

RandomVideos, in Why? Are we not doing enough?

People are leaving lemmy because of the quality of the apps

They are used to using a terrible app that often breaks and spams you with notifications of random posts

mihor,

Notifications should be banned by law.

RandomVideos,

Cant you just not allow notifications? They can be useful

mihor,

In majority of cases they’re abused to keep users engaged.

ExLisper, (edited ) in Why?

Peppycito, (edited )

I can’t believe you’d say that. You are immoral and a bad person.

*OP edited his depraved and disgusting comment to just insult people asking for edits. 😋

ExLisper,

Absolutely not. My comment was neither depraved or disgusting before I edited it.

Peppycito,

Who should we believe, me or some rando who is a serial comment editor?

I rest my case.

ExLisper, (edited )

Me, obviously.

Peppycito,

I beg to differ.

Kushia, in Why? Are we not doing enough?

In the early days of Reddit it’s motto was fake it until you make it. It was a ghost town so they set up an army of bots to generate content and fake activity. Not much has changed tbh.

Edmund_Across_The_Room,

It’s just now scam artists and annoying people who have taken over the bot market
