Uh oh, I read that book.

No, they are Bond villains. It is not cosplay, they are the real deal.

Appeal court finds woman was ‘constructively dismissed’ when forced back into the office without notice

This sets a precedent that changing remote workers work location qualifies as a no-fault firing or “layoff.”

But the trial judge sided with Parolin, finding that her flexible working hours had become an enforceable, fundamental term of her employment and had been supported for years by her employer.

The judge also found the company’s change to this arrangement was made unilaterally and without notice.

Wakan Tanka would be more accurate. The europeans brought their imaginary white genocide god to American shores.

Nicolas Cage “you don’t say” meme.

Stole.

The datacenter stole the water. After they were caught, there were no consequences. I wonder what the consequences would be if a poor, underemployed family did something like this for their disintegrating trailer home?

When a Capitalist says “free market” what they mean is “free to monopolize.” It’s about keeping the pathway to feudalism free and open. The US is its temple, but Capitalism is a global cancer.

In the US e-bikes that can reach 60 mph — which is 96.5 km/h — without peddling are starting to become common, especially with children. They are motorcycles.

Can we please make the camel case titles not a thing?

The EFF warned that the legal risk could push sites to either ban all known VPN IPs or mandate age verification for every visitor globally.

This is the goal.

Way to go, Minnesota! 👏

You have my permission to write fuck on the internet. On the fediverse, Zuck is the more offensive four-letter word.

Sorry! I entirely missed that!

But yes, it’s an inefficient and buggy process. I think it’s also what makes text selectable in images, which is why it is always running. Since we’re living through a RAM apocalypse you would think that Apple would find ways of making always-on processes more efficient.

mediaanalysisd isn’t mysterious. It’s a ML process that evaluates your photos and videos and generates description metadata to make them text-searchable. It’s what allows you to search your photos for “flowers” and see all the photos with flowers in them.

The goal of neoliberalism was always neofeudalism. It was the means to this ends.

until it fully integrates with a Photoshop equivalent and an Illustrator equivalent

If you weren’t aware, that’s Affinitys top feature. The new version is one app that can seamlessly switch between Vector, Pixel, and Layout modes without changing applications. It’s Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign rolled into a single application with dedicated workflows for each.

This is my first time hearing about Kobo. Do you like it?

This is how the Adeptus Mechanicus is born.

Got me thinking I should warm up my resume…

Don’t wait, start now. The job market is a nightmare and finding one that isn’t being consumed by incompetent C-level AI FOMO is getting harder every day. I work on life-saving medical equipment and AI is being pushed on us for things that could literally kill people if not done correctly. Why would anyone spend 30 minutes using AI and risking people’s lives when I can just write it myself in 5 or 10? Madness. Complete, society-scale madness. The people pushing AI have no fucking idea what they are doing or how engineering works. People are going to die.
