What about the fact that Threads is not launching at all in the EU, due to their management of private data? Isn't this a major issue for adoption of Threads? Or nobody cares about the European market?

Meta will probably try and lobby the EU to relax the rules, or threaten to remove their offices (read: jobs) from EU countries. Either that, or eventually give in to the EU regulations and make do with a bit less spying on people.

Another lawsuit I don't recall being mentioned: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/5/23784760/twitter-lawsuit-arbitration-laid-off-employees-jams-musk quote:Twitter is being sued by its former employees again — this time for allegedly refusing to pay the expected cost of legal arbitration. As previously reported by Bloomberg, the suit was filed on July 3rd in the Northern District of California. It seeks to force Twitter to cover most of the costs in a slew of arbitration claims, which, of course, Twitter doesn’t want to do.

I don’t really get the threats from meta and google about pulling news from Canada either in response to a bill that would force them to actually pay publishers for news they basically steal and profit from. Their hosed up algorithms got us in this mess already so they can just piss off.

the pale white thing on the left is just a intern or engineer in a white spandex suit. oh also the "real" bot was a piece of poo poo and they had to carefully roll out on a dolly with two engineers carefully shielding it and it could barely wave its arm.

I think this is one area where the EU's endless layers of bureaucracy are a protection against being strong-armed - there's no one key person that can be pressured or bribed, you'd have to get at the whole decision-making process.

"Institutional inertia" i think is the phrase. So many layers and so many people it takes ages for anything to filter through into people who actually action it.

GDPR is strong in the EU, so I can't imagine they will allow one corp to just go 'gently caress it collect all the poo poo you want' as every other corp will be suing to do the same soon after.

Yeah absolutely. The EU is by no means a perfect organization, but it has very much been a positive influence on my own country. Ireland has gone from being an impoverished backwater to an, in some ways, very prosperous society. We have some extremely big issues (there are NO loving HOUSES), but they are down to domestic policy, not EU decisions.

People point to the difference in benefits or time worked, but it always seems like a wider difference for IT jobs than other industries that are going to deal with those same factors.

Tech wages aren't low as such, they're just similar to other professional wages in the EU because there isn't VC fueled bubble.

I was charging at an EA station that had 2 broken stalls, a Tesla pulled into one of them but obviously the driver couldn't get it working since the screen wasn't even on, someone helpfully pointed out that there's a Tesla supercharger with a bunch of open spots literally 50 feet away in the same parking lot and then the driver said thanks and pulled back onto the main road and left? The gently caress? Is there a reason that a Tesla driver wouldn't want to use the supercharger network?

It's kind of impossible to compare wages between countries due to a huge humber of factors.

If I was to guess it would be data residency issues

VRChat is closer to a video game than a website front-end so its no surprise Meta failed at it. They should've stole employees from Epic. But its a misunderstanding of how people use computers and people aren't ready for headsets now like they weren't ready for touch screens back in the 70s-80s. If I'm lazing on my couch or home office, looking at a phone, I don't want to attach some hellmachine to my face. They have to figure a way to get the headset down to glasses size, give a little on immersion, and make it something you can do in transport. Musk chat: He thought of this already and is suing me now (pedophile).
