The real punishment ought to be an atomic wedgie. For everyone who was a C-level for more than a month at that company in the last 10 years.

This ought to be the punishment for a lot of unethical business practices. You can’t delegate that to a customer’s wallet.

If we tried this in the UK with someone like, say, the late David Coleman, I’m not entirely sure anyone who remembers him would be able to distinguish - other than, as I said, the knowledge that he’s been gone for quite some time now.

Coleman, was considered a go-to commentator for decades despite being gaffe-prone even at the best of times. He was occasionally oblivious and apparently lacking any self-awareness too. (He did kind of learn to laugh at himself though and was a good, well, sport, about it all.)

Sounds very AI to me. Come to think of it, he may even have been kept around precisely because of the entertainment value.

I assume that Al Michaels is not of this bizarre calibre and it wouldn’t take long for people to notice.

If they’ve heard of Lemmy then it’s probably the Tankie connection that’s putting them off. If.

Guessing Kbin/Mbin is also either unheard of or tainted by association.

Or it could just be: “But why male models not Reddit?”

In other news, Fred Bloggs from Bournemouth has been on the phone to the White House telling Joe Biden to stop using toilet paper.

That’s called “time to get a new job.”

Before I came in here, I assumed that’s what “or else” meant, and I’m still not sure it doesn’t mean that.

Asking him to auto-cannibalise? I like it.

It’s the same handful of obnoxious individuals over and over making it look like it’s a majority.

That said, this thread started about Tories, and about half the population lean that way even if they don’t vote for 'em…

One downside to this is that $10 is worth more to one person than it is to another, and I can’t see how that can be fixed.

Feeling daring? If you have to buy the software anyway, invoice the government department the price of the software.

Nope. This episode of The Outer Limits has lived rent free in my head since the 90s and I want no part of it. Neither should anyone else.

(In fairness, quite a lot of those stories live rent free in my head because they’re all horror. If you really want to know, this one was called “The New Breed”. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)

They did. See “netflitwitter”.

I’d say “first one, then the other” but then we’d argue about the order. Apparently heads are still conscious for a while, you see.

By that logic, this could be a place for literally anything, when clearly it isn’t. It’s for Fediverse-specific posts and commentary.

Climate change is important, yes, but it’s not Fediverse-specific, is it?

Borrowing from something I saw elsewhere: Set up a task / cron job / whatever it is on your OS that takes a full screenshot every minute and then sends it to Microsoft’s AI team.

Or save it to a drive or something, I’m not the boss here. And neither is Microsoft.

Big Brother? No. Not yet anyway.

Abusive in other ways? Let Uncle Louis tell you all about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXxMCm941WA

There’s also a Fediverse plugin for WordPress if you already have a host. Caveat: I have only seen it on Fediverse directories. No idea whether it’s any good.

Yep. When I was migrating, I saw some advice to avoid Lemmy on account of its provenance, which is how I ended up on Kbin instead.

Unfortunately, it’s not going well on the original instance (getting in before “how’s that working out for you”), but for reasons very different to lemmy.ml.

Still don’t have a lemmy account, but I am, for my sins, subscribed to communities there. Like this one.

“This wouldn’t have happened if you had told me where you keep the f**king catnip, Susan!”

The upshot of your comment with the current situation is: Windows users want someone to wipe their a*** for them and are increasingly OK with the wiping hand doing other things it feels like at the same time.

At least with Linux’s rough paper, it’s my own damn hand.

Depends on the size of the company.
