This is the Holodeck in Star Trek. Beam me up.

We are all so fucked.

It’s ladies only though.

The power of the sun in the palm of my hand

I’m really sorry you lost your job, again.

I work in healthcare IT and I had to do the layoffs this past year to send the jobs to the Philippines and it was eye opening what their salaries are compared to ours. They are good people there and they are smart and have ambitions just like we do, only for a fraction of the cost. And yes, in one case I had to layoff an entire team regardless of how good they were (they were really good). For them it was just the case that I could find replacements for them in the markets we were looking and if I laid them off then I could layoff fewer in other departments. This was the first time I have been faced with having to do this and it was pretty awful. I take my work really personally and treasure the relationships and I think this whole thing has had a lasting impact on my happiness level. So many times I was fearful that I would be in a position of lying to my teams if asked a direct question, something I would never do. Trying to navigate the whole thing was led to many sleepless nights. I went through exercises where I practiced my responses to potential questions I might be asked as the rumor slowly started churning.

I don’t know why I’m sharing all of this, but it helps me to talk about it. The mid tier management (that’s me) that gets given the marching orders and has to carry it all out suffers a different kind of pain, even if we did keep our jobs. I hope I’m never asked to do it again.

I’m sorry again. Don’t take it too personally is maybe what my winding story and opposing perspective is to mean. I’m sure you are good at what you do.

Because we all saw this coming after everybody voted for Trump last November. If you didn’t see it coming then you were just part of their plan.

A waste of our time for sure, but I did it as well.

Well this is surely upsetting.

Yes, which is why it is stupid that their board recently approved to pay him billions to be their CEO.

I’m running one of the R1 models locally on my M1 Max Mac and it can do data extraction way better than other free models that are small enough to run on the same hardware. It’s been a game changer in terms of accuracy and speed.

Too much work. If somebody is that excited about posting a new version release they should consider tossing in a blurb about what it does so I can tell if I even want to click the link.

Ok, but what is DarkTable? The link is a to a changelog. Worthless.

It’s all OSS.

You should consider a password manager.

I played for a while and it was decent but it gets rather old/repetitive after a while. I was happy to play it on Apple Arcade since it didn’t require me to explicitly purchase. You win battles to unlock characters and upgrades, etc. The storyline was okay. The battle sequences just get tiresome after a while and that’s pretty much the bulk of what the game is.

You seem like a good person to ask about how I can glue my pizza toppings down so that they don’t slide off.
