A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

what is Salesforce?

I do not get any legit cold calls (just two PayPal scammers this year so far), but I know what you mean. I see how AI slop could help them and their customers in tying to be meaningful.

Imagine if Clippy created Enterprise Resource Management software

The assholes who claim to have invented Software as a Service.

And Mark Benioff lays people off constantly. One time he did it because an “activist investor” demanded it. Same POS did that to google, too. It’s shit all the way down.
