Preach!

I totally get it. Good luck though, make sure you find a landing space first. WFH jobs are decreasing and are getting much more competitive. They’re also, unfortunately, prone to be suddenly or slowly shifted to in-office positions. Trying to work a mandatory period of WFH into your contract might be useful, but that’ll be pretty difficult.

As long as you are very employable and in the right field you should be fine. Using “transitional WFH” as a way to entice workers is becoming more commonplace and employers are often not transparent about it.

A friend works in HR at a place that hires as “WFH” and doesn’t mention at any point that there is already a timeline in place for two days in office after six weeks and then full time in office after three months. It’s not stipulated anywhere, it’s a “new policy” that comes down… on the same timeline… for every new employee. Lol

“Is becoming”…? Where you been bro.

It doesn’t need a 4K screenshot. It needs enough data/metrics from any given single frame to run it through analytics and an algorithm to tailor ads. Backend surveillance like this isn’t interested in fidelity to the human viewing experience. It needs identifying data. That can be had through a combination of low quality data scrapes done numerous times.

“Screenshot” is more like a metaphor here. Sort of like how your Apple or Google photos are “private,” but the data and analytics taken from them you’ve given away. It’s like if you told me I could look at all the photos on your phone and take as many notes and subject them to as much analysis as I wanted, but I promised not to actually physically keep your phone/photos. Probably makes you feel like your photos are securely still in your possession, but I got what I wanted. Your data is technically private, but my data about your data is mine.

It’s a 2-trillion-dollar company, I think news of their coming demise has been exaggerated.

What up baby, heard your dad was murdered, wanna bang it out or what? Or I could arrest you, totally up to you to consent. Like my hat?

🙄

K.

Yes, that’s my point. Losing money didn’t “influence” him.

No, I don’t think they’re going to bother finding the receivers, which is what I said?

Reading comprehension: it’s not for everybody.

Musk has lost a tremendous amount of money between X and his negative effect on Tesla sales. Do you feel this has “manipulated” him into being a better person? 🤣

His shit is also on the ground. Do you think the satellites beam an internet connection directly into a laptop or something? That said, finding and seizing the individual receivers seems unlikely. They’ve already instituted a hefty fine (equivalent to more a year’s average salary) for even using a VPN to little effect.

Beyond that, they’ve also threatened to seize all local assets/offices and emplacements if Starlink doesn’t comply. There’s several dozen as I recall.

Should we?

This is a hyperbolic article to be sure. But many in this thread are missing the point. It’s not that photo manipulation is new.

It’s the volume and quality of photo manipulation that’s new. “Flooding the zone with bullshit,” i.e. decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio, can have a demonstrable social effect.

Canada is beautiful frankly, and it has some great cities.

90% of the population of Canada lives within about 100 miles of the United States border. Canada being America’s hat makes moree sense in that respect.

But Florida is clearly a cock, so… I’m into it.

Incidentally, 100 miles north-to-south is about the height of Connecticut from the Mass to NY borders.

Please leave anywhere near the airlock. Pls don’t ring or knock, dogs bark.

Fr. Imagine the expected tip.

You can practically hear him flop sweating and hyperventilating.

They just send up more food.
