Uber: EU rules will see us pull out of “hundreds” of European cities — Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc

  • Yes. These people are not entitled to be business owners. If they can't hack it, then get out of the way for the people that can. But don't worry, business owners - I'm sure you'd be perfectly happy being a gig worker for another company instead, right?

  • I'm totally with you on this one - downvote is not meant as a "I disagree" button, but it is used that way which created the famous Reddit "hive mind" problem. So this has been a pretty peeve of mine for years. It is already creating the same problem here.

    But unfortunately, we're tilting at windmills on this case, so I think we will just have to accept that this is the way it's going to be.

    Yes, but you can make an additional set of friends in the Fediverse based on your interests instead. That's what I'm trying to do.

  • So? It’s public. Who cares?

    People who are frequently targeted by harassers care, such as trans people. People on Threads will be able to find trans people in the fediverse and harass them by creating accounts on the same instance as the trans person to get around the block.
