Come on, just because the CEO endorsed a Trump candidate using the company social media? Then backpedalled after the backlash? And then sent emails about how Proton is totally agnostic about politics and how the CEO is a Asian immigrant so surely they can't support Trump?

DEI huh? That's the problem?

And they hire a Wrestling company's owner's wife...

Nintendo, a Japanese company in Kyoto, using American courts to stop Pocketpair, a Japanese indie studio in Tokyo, from selling Pal world.

What the hell.

I owned all sorts of Nintendo products growing up. Around 2005, Nintendo went crazy against roms and hacking, and then when I stopped buying Nintendo products.

I bought some used stuff and... Bypassed security to expand my libraries. But usually it was after the game was like 10 years old.

"I bought this car because FUCK THE LIBS! But why are they harassing me?!"

Maybe he made a nice profit from it then! And he can rehire/rebuild!

I know a guy who ONLY quotes and references YouTube videos.

Every topic, he answers with "Oh I saw this YouTube video..."

Pasty tech bros continue to push dumb shit forward, ruin companies, out a lot of people out of work then do something else. The definition of fail upwards.

That sounds right. Lemme ask Gemini and DeepSink just in case.

Jeep is rated #16 out of #22 from consumer reports

Guess they really wondered how to go even lower.

I'm sensing a future where cars are becoming like cell phones and laptops, a single unit without replaceable core parts. And they'll have ads built right in.

Don't knock it until you've tried it please help I've been chained here for two hours I wanna go home

Boost birth rates? Sure.

Boost marriage? Uh why? You can do all the things without a piece of paper.

Can this welfare state even afford to survive without handouts and businesses like Starbucks?

I'm old enough to remember when Gamersgate/me too and companies were getting leaked everywhere, which really made them look bad. Like literally people were using their real Facebook name and going, "Scarlet Johansson is a feminist b**** c*** who should stay in her lane" and their job title right there.

The first thing my job did was give everyone a warning that no personal things on work time and made everyone sign a contract. Then a few months later, our sister company got a bunch of leaks in the news about a sexist environment/sexual abuse. Then a few months after that, a bunch of people were "let go" for breaking that contract.

There was a guy I met at a bar who took out his laptop to show me some cool personal app he was building using a no-code builder. I asked him about his laptop specs, and I shit you not, he said, "I don't know. It's whatever my job gives me."

I tie a toy chicken to a wall that when honked, creates an audible sound.

Shit. I say Tostitos instead of tortilla chips, because Tostitos taste differently to me. My wife and I love Tostitos and salsa. But I also prefer regular tortilla chips with cheese.

I've been indoctrinated.

I have to confess. I still scroll Reddit from time to time (no longer use my account), and the front page just has a lot more variety. There's still a lot of bot content from the occasional AITA that's purely clickbait to the reposts.

I do like that comments and conversations are better here. I'm seeing familiar names and I like it.

At my multinational, we typically hire in the hundreds every month for customer service. It's like a $15/hr job, very baseline entry level, no experience needed. Because of that, there's a constant churn. Most folks go for a year and leave for other jobs, or get promoted.

Last year was the start of us rolling out AI tools. According to the year end report, our "customer score" skyrocketed, which tells the bosses that AI is great for customer service. Also a few months ago, I noticed we weren't refilling Customer Service jobs as fast anymore.

So these are the people who are getting squeezed out.
