@gsuberland @wren6991 I mean it’s the CEO, so you don’t get fired, you retire with a comfy severance package and a few board seats around the place for walking around money.
@james by I’ve long believed that any company wishing to employ hold audio should be required to have their CEO listen to it for an hour before being allowed to deploy it.
@SecurityWriter that point where you’ve levelled to being able to stand in place is like crack.
@troublewithwords @fesshole “you’ll never believe this, but in a complete coincidence the meal made of ingredients we need to shift is the chef’s special of the day”.
@queserasera@infosec.exchange the death of cover letters makes me incredibly sad. When I was hiring a good cover letter will be an immediate interview, being able to clearly and concisely write down your thoughts is such an important skill in distributed companies.
@acarsdrama we definitely didn’t decide to see what happens when you pull the cord on a life vest.
Putting this on the record so I can be smug when it happens (or quietly delete this in January):
This year’s plague of [Insert Service Here] Wrapped will include LLM generated personality profiles based on your top 10.
@CrypticMirror @Santaclaus @gsuberland but is he? He has a legitimate reason for collecting the data, and he’s clearly taking his responsibility to ensure the data is accurate seriously. We’d need to know more about retention policy and exactly what data he’s gathering to be sure.
@jackeric @anon_opin I can get onboard with “everyone should be paid more”.
@pikesley was it the requirement that radio stations don’t allow dead air?
You discovered what now?

The Flight Sim 2024 launch did not go well. 2 million user long queues just to get to the loading screen, and from what I’ve heard it’s flakey once in. The old folks who do nothing but fly their replica Airbus cockpits back and forth all day are taking it predictably well, and acting like it’s an actual airline that’s been grounded rather than their living room.
I’ve just learned that Deliveroo now offer two subscription tiers at which they will refund some (tier one) or all (tier two) of your order value if they arrive late.
A *food delivery company* has managed to make delivering your food before it goes cold an optional extra with a recurring subscription fee.

As an example, the first three tiers of the Amazon EULA terms total over 642,000 words of text, which translates into OVER 53 HOURS of reading at the rate of 200 words a minute.
I ordered a single top from an online store recently. Since then I’ve had an email from them at least every two days, does this shit work, or are people just guessing that it might?
@tracketpacer this is going to be left’s version of Bill Gates putting 5G trackers in vaccines isn’t it? I once had to explain to someone *I did EE with in college* how that was physically impossible.
@0xabad1dea Windows 11 had nothing to remind you about but is contractually obliged to pop an irritating notification every 27 minutes.
The Comments Below, so called because they’re the gateway to Hell.
I decided to learn how to fly the A320. Very much a case of the I Have No Idea What I’m Doing dog, but flying a jetliner. Took me an hour to start the thing up, 30 minutes to fly to Manchester, and then I missed the approach and had to land it by hand because I couldn’t make the autopilot try again.
