Not accurate at all.

Daddy and top-dog-son want to prevent the rest from moving the media business away from fringes of the right.

The claim is that they’ll devalue the inheritance for all by making it less profitable (summary only).

Great coverage a few weeks ago on NYT’s The Daily podcast if reading isn’t your thing: https://pca.st/episode/7ff0fd47-2c1c-471e-a41f-6861322838f9

Seems that Mr. Trump wasn’t singing the same tune when it went his way in October 2016 with a certain FBI director…

As someone who worked at a business that transitioned to AGPL from a more permissive license, this is exactly right. Our software was almost always used in a SaaS setting, and so GPL provided little to no protection.

To take it further, even under the AGPL, businesses can simply zip up their code and send it to the AGPL’ed software owner, so companies are free to be as hostile as possible (and some are) while staying within the legal framework of the license.

Should be much higher.

A combination of inflation, gap between workers and leaders at the company AND productivity.

50$/hr and 3 day weeks. There’s no reason to grind to make the ruling class more wealthy.

Building off the other reply - it’s the standard UX/UI design tool these days. Name a popular SaaS tool - their design / product team likely uses Figma.

They were recently in the news after their acquisition by Adobe fell through.

They also recently release a competitor to Google slides/powerpoint.

The Option 121 attack is a concern on networks where you don’t.

Exactly where you’d want a VPN. Cafes, hotels, etc.

We really can vote with our dollars. The issue is that we don’t (I’m point right at myself here).

Don’t buy the things, we probably don’t need em.

My coworkers, particularly middle managers in the US expressed some envy, but applauded my negotiation and support me. I’d partner in engineering know before I said yes because I didn’t want them being surprised.

Self-moderation:

  • I have to be incredibly intentional about limiting my working hours. No one’s going to tell me to go home and I’ll feel the pressure to stay so I just have to commit.
  • No checking email or work slack after working hours. No. Matter. What.
  • Having four days has honed my ability to both prioritize and say no. But it also means those stupid meetings that are easier to say yes to and just kind of be there, I’m much more actively turning down. It’s hard to have defend the boundaries. But it’s worth it.

Negotiated a 4 day work week at my current job.

It’s worth it, but it requires heavy self-moderation to do it at an organization where everyone is 5 days.

AMA.

A bit odd that the article doesn’t mention advertising on cable/sat/fiber/traditional(?) media delivery into the home.

The single biggest draw, to me, isn’t that I can watch when I want (that’s second). It’s not having to spend my time watching ads. Life is just better without someone trying to sell me something for 20 minutes out of every hour.

I’m willing to pay for that privilege.

I value my time - or at least the opportunity to spend it how I want when I’m not making someone already rich, even richer.

Grateful that they don’t. But they have tried to do it with podcasts.

Spotify “pulled an Apple”, bought Gimlet and moved all their podcasts onto Spotify exclusively. I don’t use Spotify and chose to find alternatives. I’m happy I did.
