They're running in a dozen mostly red states:

We live amongst clowns and idiots.

I'm still thrilled with the recent update that introduced vertical tabs into vanilla desktop FF, it feels much nicer on a wide screen monitor.

😰 Oh dear, I know it's going to happen now 😓

Born in the 70s. I've sat on my balls twice so far this year. That's never happened before, I used to just laugh at the idea 😓

Campaigning on electoral reform won't work this time because we were burned last time it was. But if Carney is serious about his, "I'm not a politician" shtick, then maybe he'll set the wheels in motion to get to PR? Wishful thinking without more evidence though.

Oh, a fellow Requiem for a Dream connoisseur!

It has been out there for billions of ~150 million years to get that way.

Inviting my parents over for coffee and snacks. Grandkids will be doing their thing in the background after having a visit. Hoping that is enough.

No extended family in my life; it's just my wife and kids, my parents and my mother in law. So hoping to keep it low key.

KDE team is pretty kick-ass.

Thanks, I'd be interested in the next part of your Headscale write up!

My company switched from Microsoft Office products to to Google Workspace. Gemini is integrated with everything in workspace now. The expectation from execs is that we use these tools to do more with fewer people.

They already chopped the people, but because the AI tools haven't saved us from how deep they cut yet, The Big Giant Head is now tracking how much each of us use the tools every day to make sure we're trying...

Stay out of corpo jobs if you can, peeps.

Articulates the grovelling of Gemini perfectly. I am expected to use it at work now and I can't stand all the patronizing knob-polishing it's constantly doing.

Interesting and with credibility, Misk as I tend to agree with your posts and comments (+20!). I just don't trust my company even after 20 years and moving into leadership years ago, so anytime I see a corporation making a choice like this I can't help but be extremely skeptical.

I would always prefer a base salary increase to my arbitrary bonus, but with the balance between net benefit to employees over the bottom line of the Corp, why would a company do it if it didn't pay out less in the long run? Or are they counting on merit based salary levels for performant individuals being a better deal over typical company-wide gaming of bonuses being easier to control?

Reading the article it seems to be related to a shortage of labour in Japan, so not my situation where we have been laying off people for years now. I'd love it if we did this for positive reasons like attracting better talent and increasing average salaries. I guess that's where my disconnect is.

If corpo decides to do this, it is a net benefit to the company and not the employees. I await my own shit corp implementing this in the future...
