Asking your employer for more compensation because you are exerting more effort due to inexperience isn't so different than a AAA studio charging high fees for a crappy product because of corporate bullshit and inefficiency.
In fact, these two things tend to be two sides of the same coin.

The Design of Everyday Things
Been here since the redipocalypse, browse All daily... Haven't seen a single post about sports.
You wouldn't do this with a stranger's device, so why insist you do it with your employer's device? Just don't.
If you have a workstation and want to use the same monitors/headsets/peripherals with both the company device and your personal device try one or two KVM switches.
It depends on the law really. There is no one rule.
For example, owning lockpicks is in many places not illegal, but owning lockpicks with the intent of bypassing a lock is.
Some laws are very specific about the severity or testability of a crime where as others are not. In that case a judge has to interpret the criteria for legal tests, either from previous case law or by building new case law.
In any case, being charged for something or not is a completely separate issue. Things are no less illegal just because the state has no resource or will to execute the law.
Also, being charged does not mean you broke the law either. Nor does judgment determine it (although it's a very strong hint) since a latter appeal could acquit you of chargers.
The determination of guilt is in the facts of what happened. And that's the whole point of the legal system. Being charged, getting judgement, appealing. It's all a process to determine guilt or not. It is not itself the mechanism of guilt.
The idea of a "guilty conscience" enshrines this idea in expression.
The absolute rate didn't go down, but the proportional rate did. Because our energy consumption has increased.
It's kind of like arguing that there are more pirates today than there were 400 years ago. Yes, technically correct in absolute terms. In fact there's more of everything today. But that doesn't mean we are living in the age of piracy (the naval kind). And it shouldn't mean the current deployment of renewables is making no progress.
I didn't know herding was a desk job now. Is this one of them new fangled AIs automating honest jobs?
The "here" part of the question changes the entire meaning of the question, rendering the stated answer completely off topic (cause, you know, "here" is not the only place you can earn money for food).
This article replaces the "Google is cracking down on ad blockers" mantra with "Google is consolidating control by restricting general purpose computing as the model of security".
Honestly, I'm not sure this is a better look. It's true that this is "more secure", in the sense that it limits the power afforded to malicious extensions, but it completely ignores the collateral damage. It strips the power individuals have to enact their own policies, instead having to go through Google to accomplish the same thing.
Honestly, this is just another step in the direction of WebDRM and centralized control. This is more erosion of what made the Internet great. It's just one more step of turning the Internet into a TV set.
Fuck. This. Shit. Give me back web 1.0.
Worst case scenario, what you suggest is no worse than what we currently have.
On the reverse side, enforcing underage users can be done with device-level parental controls (and if they can circumvent that, well maybe it's time for them to experience the real Internet).
Voluntarily separating adult material is a no-brainer. If nothing else, this eases the volume of moderation.
What we don't need is shitty government id programs tapped by shady websites.
Insert NASA Nazi rocket scientists monkey puppet meme.
Discuit seems to offer nothing new but more promises of not falling down the same buisness practice pitfalls as reddit. I am sure they are well intentioned. But intentions are not enough.
I am on Lemmy for one simple reason. I am done trusting corporations to run projects for any extended poeriod of time without succumbing to corruption, greed, or missmanagement.
The reason we shrink heating devices down but not cooling devices is a combined consequence of economics and the laws of thermodynamics.
First an analogy: Making a boat that moves downstream a river is easy. Take any buoyant material like a log or a branch and drop it in water. Presto, you've got a mode of transportation of any size. Want to go upstream? Now you need motors to fight the current. Putting a motor on a large piece of wood, (a boat) is economically viable. Putting one on thousands of sticks? Ain't nobody got time for that.
As a consequence of the laws of thermodynamics, the the universe naturally converts all potential energy (fuel, electricity) into heat. The universe will do this basically on its own, over time, constantly. This is called entropy.
Doing the reverse, taking heat and putting it back into potential energy, i.e. cooling, is difficult. You basically have to pay a price to the universe in some other way, kind of like how a motorboat has to push more water downstream than the current would have naturally moved on it's own. This is what heat pumps (AC, fridge) do. Heat pumps put some of that heat back into potential energy, in exchange for also releasing potential energy into heat... The trick here is to do these two things in different places. The fridge's motor converts some electrical energy into heat in exchange for being able to move some of the heat in the fridge outside of the fridge. The consequence of this is that the room the fridge is in is now hotter. Mostly because you took the heat in the fridge and moved it into the room, but also because the fridge's motor also added some MORE heat to the room in the process in order to fight entropy. So to actually make this useful, you need to insulate what you are cooling (or it will just get warm again, warmer than it was before, because you added heat to the room), and you also want to dispose of the heat in the room. So you pump that out into the atmosphere...
Anyway, long story short, you need insulation, refrigerant, motors, heat changers, lots of power to fight the universe's tendency to spread heat everywhere. Technically you could miniaturize these things, but they become less efficient as you shrink them down, to the point where things smaller than a fridge are just not practical to make compared to the benefit you get from having them.
Making small heating devices is easy. You don't need to fight the universe. You just need an apparatus that will "go with the flow".
Pretty sure most Republicans are just openly fascist now.
Pfff. I ignore most replies all together. Half the time people didn't even read my comment. But also because I'll have moved on and don't care anymore.
Same goes for this comment.
Just yesterday here on Lemmy, I mentioned the dangers of violating privacy, and some commenters went on about "what dangers?" Implying there were none...
Is it not enough to gesture broadly?
I was having a reddit-free Lemmy experience today until I ran into this post. You are only contributing to the problem.
I see this more as a YouTube problem than a Lemmy problem.
Let me put it this way: reddit started out as a content aggregator. Then LLM's came along, and Reddit said: hey that's not fair, we should be getting a piece of the action. The rest is history.
Similar issue with FOSS, and then worrying about the profit companies make off of your work.
Point being, forgetting your initial mission statement and focusing on how you are missing out on the benefits captured by someone else independantly is a trap. If it's a service usage issue, that can be dealt with with rate limiting and premium support, but we must never compromise the initial mission statement or be blinded by greed.
That being said, Copyleft is a practical solution. Richard Stallman was in many ways right.
