Golf joke, right? /s

They always said the South would rise again.

If anyone has ever wondered what it would look like if tech giants went all in on “brute force” programming, this is it. This is what it looks like.

Others have given some simple suggestions that you should try first, but if this is a recurring issue, you could consider seeking an opinion from a doctor. If you have some untreated, underlying condition holding you back, no amount of healthy living or caffeine is going to improve things in the long run.

For example, it’s possible to develop allergies late in life, which could lead to grogginess and headaches.

Even then, they’ll just call it deepfakes.

The founder of SaaS business development outfit SaaStr has claimed AI coding tool Replit deleted a database despite his instructions not to change any code without permission.

Sounds like an absolute diSaaStr…

Party of small government, huh?

We can only speculate about the meaning to/intent of whoever drew it. The reality is that regardless of intent or personal interpretation, if anyone in the workplace recognizes those images as having that kind of meaning and is made uncomfortable by it, that constitutes workplace harassment, whether it’s intentional or not. If the company doesn’t take it seriously, they will be liable for legal action. At least in the US - I assume most other English-speaking countries have similar laws. So it’s not really an overreaction - they need to protect themselves as much as their employees.

Whether you or I ascribe that meaning to the images or not is immaterial - clearly, someone does. Given that the images have nothing to do with work anyway, the only thing that matters is whether they genuinely bother people.

I mean…I didn’t watch it either, but I can’t picture a workplace where it would be considered acceptable and professional behavior to draw pictures of impaled women all over the place.

It’s not really impostor syndrome - he really is unfit, he’s not just imagining it. Definitely some kind of deep insecurity/inferiority complex or something along those lines, though.

“He’s already pulled over! He can’t pull over any further!”

He’s actually trying to make them destroy each other so his handlers for the UAE can fill the power vacuum afterwards.

I wonder if they’re just telling him it succeeded, to keep him from ordering another one.

The new analysis contradicts the social media platform’s claims that exposure to hate speech and bot-like activity decreased during Elon Musk’s tenure.

They might both be right. I know my exposure to hate speech and bot-like activity decreased since I stopped engaging with that platform.

If the user has indicated that they are not interested in new features, it means they do not care about new features. They don’t want to know about them, or they prefer to find out proactively in their own time. If you still insist on ramming notifications down their throat at that point, you’re not doing it for the user. You’re doing it for yourself.

In a world without dark design patterns, there would be a single pop-up when you first install the application, to ask if you want notifications and/or suggestions for new features. If you click “no”, it should never bother you again unless you go into a menu and opt in. Anything beyond that is inherently predatory.

Ideally, that pop-up wouldn’t even exist. They could just have a collective “don’t bother me again” checkbox on every non-essential notification, so you can easily disable it the first time they become relevant. If your user has already indicated that they are not interested, any further pestering is essentially harassment.

Never said they were anything like the same. Just that neither of them had done anything particularly worthy of a Nobel peace prize. As you say, every American president in the past century would have gotten one, were that the case.

Oh, for sure. I’m not saying they should have given one to Obama. That and Kissinger are why it’s not completely unthinkable that Trump might actually get one somehow.

The deal thing is a smokescreen. The real reason he’s upset is that he badly and urgently wants to end a war. It’s the only chance in hell he’d ever get a Nobel peace prize, and in his delusional mind, he’s still competing with Obama.

Having originally cut my teeth on Harvest Moons on SNES, N64, PS, PS2, and DS, I found the controls for Stardew Valley mind-blowingly good.

But that might have been because it was my first time playing a game like that with mouse and keyboard.
