Shifting personnel to grocery duty during work time to handle a surge or whatever is fine. Asking them to volunteer their free time is bullshit. I might do it if Bezos volunteered to come clean my house.

For clarity, Mozilla isn’t one thing. There’s Mozilla Corporation (profit) and the Mozilla Foundation (nonprofit). Firefox is a product of Mozilla Corporation. And yes, the need to make a profit is a bug not a feature.
In the early 2000s I had a manager who hardly ever gave me anything to do. Like in 6 months I did maybe 3 weeks work. And it’s not like I never asked. I was already fairly disgruntled and had other reasons, but it led to me leaving the company for a job at a cancer research center. The problem with not doing anything at MS is that unless you can hide it somehow your review comes up and you have nothing to show for the year, you’re kind of screwed. So after a relaxing 6 months it was a good time to jump ship. Anyway, a couple years later I read MS was laying off like 600 people - which might have been their first layoffs ever, I dunno. It was supposed to clear out “deadwood” - so I checked after another couple months and found out my old manager was still there! So much for “clearing out deadwood” lol.
Capitalism fanatics will say with great conviction that business has to be efficient because of competition, while government is inherently inefficient because it has no competition. There’s a little truth there, but the complete truth is that business is as inefficient as it can afford to be. The more money a company has, the more inefficiency they can absorb. In my mind that’s one good reason not to allow these gigantic mergers of mega-billion-dollar corporations. Huge entities with tons of money can be inefficient and sloppy as hell for a long, long time before they fail.
So they’re saying removing distractions improves focus? Woah dude, spoiler warning!
Walk me thru how the tariffs will work on that, will ya taco boy?
Only half kidding now… the way morality and ethics get extrapolated now by the perfection police, this must mean anti-AI = misogynist.
Twenty years ago tracking armed thugs in ski masks would have been called a public service.
Is there ski mask recognition software that will work on ICE?
Didn’t work out for ya, did it? The weird thing is when people think incompetent business decisions are one more reason to hate AI.
Sadly, this makes me miss when people pretended to slip and fall at the grocery store so they could throw milk jugs in the air and make a mess.
OTOH the idea that Windows tortured pewdiepie seems like a point in its favor.
On social media the standard is to call everything AI by default. It’s nearly impossible to prove otherwise before people lose interest in the thread, so you can feel right every time. Nothing but win!
At last, hardware built to run my code!

The real trouble starts when you hit the two rocks together.
Maybe it’s also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.
Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.
Jesus Fucking Christ no wonder the world laughs at us. “You want I should teach dem skools a lesson, boss?”
Trump “saving” America from anything is pure fantasy true, and yet he got elected - TWICE. The fantasy of idiocracy is reality. Make people desperate enough for work by gutting minimum wage, Medicare, and everything else MAGA plans to do to create a feudal system, and the US becomes a cheap labor source to sell US-made iPhones and all kinds of other shit abroad. Either get used to that reality or figure out what to do about it.
How surprising is this really, considering we’re still paying COVID-inflated prices for most things after COVID came and went, and was gone, and is still gone, and it’s a couple years later and it’s fucking gone.
Heyyyyyyyyy Yaccarino!
