Hear hear

I mean, it’s called a “fake ad” but it’s basically just an ad. The punchline is “buy product”

More sugar

I got 30hrs out of Animal Well and enjoyed every moment of it :)

Yes, though it was my sister in law who named her, and this was years before the Netflix version, if that might matter. I don’t know if it does or not, I didn’t finish season 1 :)

Yes, I think he would not call people names, he’d instead give lengthy explanations of their shortcomings and failings.

Pretty sure that’s not a direct quote.

I doubt it’ll have the “Edge sense” (squeeze for actions) feature, but I gotta say, for my U11+ it was a game changer and I miss it

Op, please find a different hobby. Ads are NOT what we need more of on the internet.

That’s… Really passing the buck though.

Nothing is stopping corporations from doing The Right Thing right now except their own desire not for profit, but for maximized profit at all costs. Dare I say it, but if a company can’t make a profit without creating harm, it doesn’t deserve to make a profit.

It’s not just “they make products and services that people buy”, it’s that “they maximize their personal profit at the expense of people and the environment”.

It’s easy but reductive to blame consumers for consuming, when it’s worth noting that biodegradable packaging costs more than plastics that will never break down, so corporations will choose cheap plastic over environmentally friendly packaging 99.9% of the time.

The incentives are wrong. Instead of maximizing profit we need to ensure that profit is not maximized at the expense of sustainability, at the expense of pollution, and at the expense of the entire future of our planet.

Nerds still are smarter than us.

Unfortunately a cult of managers has arisen to rule over the nerds and they hype with an iron fist.

As usual with headlines involving either AI or Adobe,

Meh

I hate how this is phrased as “redundancies”. IGN literally JUST bought these outlets, they haven’t had time to dig into and examine the organizations they acquired; it’s just straight into the Corpo playbook of “lay people off and let the dust settle where it may”.

These are people, not “redundancies”. They contributed in the old organization, and they could contribute in the new, but they never even got the chance.

Always have been, apparently

Great deal. Thanks, marketing!

Yeah, this has definitely happened before, we just don’t hear about it in the news. I am personally aware of a Canadian non-profit whose Google accounts were nuked with no notice or explanation last year, leading to massive disruptions for 150 staff and even more clients. They never found out why, and had to restore from backups onto a brand new Google business account

This helps nobody, and whoever thinks it’s a good idea needs better time management skills.

Most of the VPs in my local Corpo are all politicians. They speak in buzzwords and value hearing themselves speak over hearing any feedback from people lower than them in the hierarchy. The disconnection between upper management and everyone else is greater than it’s ever been and it’s only getting worse.
