Planning ahead for an extra round of holiday layoffs?

It was always there - we merely lost the fight on making it shameful to say in public.

Not me. Anyways, I’m going to find another community.

My guess is that when asked if we could stop talking about it for a bit, you decide to multi-post your theses.

No one is arguing against you, just read the room before you spam it.

I’ve never given a tv my wifi password.

I’m not any techier than the average millennial. Maybe my trust issues are worse than average. I don’t regret my actions.

Also - my xbox one s may have streamed more video content than provided rocket leaguery…until I tripped on a cord…

Laptop now. Learning how to utilize these new capabilities.

I’ve earned eternal damnation for less

The tone is all wrong.

It’d help if the tooter was in their nostril

Why not? If this here (non?)platform gains notoriety, you can choose to be more factual moving forward.

Be bold, be you.

Yeah, I earbud daily at work without having my phone on me at all times. Audiobooks are great for crunching mind numbing data.

Made sense to me

Literacy hard. You will get there.

I’m not as savvy at tech as many folk in this here platform, but I was knowledgeable in Napster and limewire in my early teens. A dabble of DOS 3.0 when I was in k-5. I thank you for letting me believe that counts for anything at all.

I log in to different computers at work. About half have updated to windows 11. I don’t know why only half. I’m not IT.

I miss XP to this day. The cosmetic features aren’t useful to me because I grew up with alt+tab and such. I can adapt. I bet there are reasons - but for me at work, it’s just a minor inconvenience in creating new “muscle memory”

I still miss xp

Edit- just give me my start menu bqck

What a mindfuck. At one point you/I/we are blindly making assumptions about what the human on the other side of the counter is thinking - or being egotistical enough to believe the employee’s transaction with me (and the potential $1) was of any significance to them.

My guess is that the decision makers/consultants at that business are aware of these potential reactions - if they’re any good at being greedy, they’ve dug far deeper. They just play the game of guilt to get the patron to subsidize employee wages.

Because if the tips aren’t enough to make ends meet for the employee, it’s the customer’s fault.

Sometimes I disengage from my personal viewpoint and marvel at the complexity of it all. Using humanity against itself for personal profit without incurring a proportional amount of public disdain. Then I resume being disgusted.

We have sooooo much potential as a community. I would give literally anything (of myself - not of the ones I care about) for a star trek future. But I also like Dune, The Expanse, Foundation…

Final thought - I’m rewatching 2000’s battlestar atm and it made me wonder:

If humanity has an AI war and we won - how could we ever prevent someone/some thing creating a new homegrown AI later? We almost have to merge at some level?

Anyways, sorry if you read this. Be well

Exactly. Not to mention all the exhaust I have to breathe when I bike to work.
