As a complete outsider, not living in the US but with family there, it does feel like people are more excited about her than they've been for any US politician in a good while. Maybe not people powered but there's definitely more positivity overall compared to Joe as candidate.
Immunity for cops = more pigs = cheaper bacon
Supply and demand
Almost had one of those multi hour rounds of interviews and assessments while looking for a better job. I'm well qualified in my field and already had a few options when this particular company reached out. I agreed to an interview and they sent me multiple insanely long forms which already had my radar going.
Then I log into the virtual interview and there's multiple applicants. Weird again. Interviewer says we need to wait for other applicants, takes more than half an hour... Waste of my time but I had set aside an hour in my schedule for this, annoying but acceptable. THEN the interviewer says to be ready for this to take up to 4 hours and that we will be doing live, digital assessments. I logged out without saying anything.
The company reached out to me later saying I was a top candidate based on my CV and wanted me to do the full interview on another day. I should have been up front and told them their process was fucking insane but instead I just told them I was no longer interested in the position.
There's really no end to the depth of Clarence's moral bankruptcy... Not even responding to your "son" when he's struggling and reaching out.
“I actually don’t know if they know that I’m locked up—I’m not sure they’d care too much,” Martin said. “I’ve seen—I’ve probably seen them two times, maybe three times, over the last 14 years.”
Fucking cold... I really hope Martin's able to get the help he needs as well
Genuinely looking forward to the Satanic Temple shenanigans over this one. A competing Satan infused curriculum would be fun
I hate this but I also get it.
A little while ago on the TWIT podcast one of the guests, or maybe Leo himself, was talking about how this is exactly what they want out of AI, for it to be able to know how they use their computer and just streamline everything. Some people are really excited about the possibilities, and yeah, the AI needs to track whatever you're doing to know how to help you with your work flow.
That said, I don't want Microsoft keeping track of everything I'm doing. They've already shown that they're willing to sell our data and shove ads down our throats, so as much as they say we can filter out what we don't want tracked, I'm not inclined to trust or believe them.
I hate how not surprising this is and how little it will change anyone's views
After the case where courts ruled in favor of a person who got false information from a chat bot about bereavement fare for flight tickets, you now have a case for setting up a cannibalism business and suing when they try to stop you
I love how it looks like the cat is looking at the empty box thinking "Yo wtf???”
Honest question, not trying to start an argument or anything, but what is extreme left when we're talking about the current political landscape actually? Cause when I look at US politics I don't see anything close to what I'd consider extreme going on on the left side. Maybe individual people with no significant political power talking about overthrowing the whole capitalist system but yeah, they don't seem to have any actual political power.
Somehow I think Podcasts will survive enshittification. The basis is just RSS and file hosting, so at its core, it's possible to create and distribute podcasts without huge capital investment. There's always gonna be some people trying to get their voices out and Podcasts still seems to be the easiest way to do that so until some better method comes out, podcasts will live on.
If you're talking about Podcast networks, streaming services, ad networks, then yeah, those might face some kind of enshittification and destruction, but no matter what, I'm pretty confident some good podcasts, and some good ways to listen to them, will stick around.
I knew I'd seen something similar!
