The c-levels are really sick of all these new features they're adding and no one is using them because of silly reasons like "they don't work good" or "I can't even see the point of this for me".
In their wisdom, they've taken the option to say no away from the users. Now they have a much easier time justifying their bonus this year, just look at how many users are using their new features!
I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don't notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don't have a screen that can display 4K,...
Everyday when I wash the dishes I ask my google home to give me the news, it goes CBC to CNN to PBS and those very mainstream sources have been pretty decent in communicating how high the death toll for Palestinians have been and how dire the situation there is.
Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company's plans.
I never used to understand why Picard and the crew got upset with Data's long winded explanations until I got a Google Home. Now I understand very well.
Swedish authorities say Russia is behind “harmful interference” deliberately targeting the Nordic country’s satellite networks that it first noted days after joining NATO earlier this year....
In 2008 the Tories just put up signs every saying 'CANADIAN ACTION PLAN IN EFFECT' without actually doing any actions.
They will simply say, over and over again, that they have built more homes than ever before - without evidence - and people will believe it because they've heard it so many times.
They won't need the bunkers, they'll easily convince the dumbest half of the population that the climate crisis is a result of too many brown, black, and yellow people and that any action taken should be against those people. We're speeding towards ecofacism.
Honestly, the layout and formatting of forums just isn't as good as the way comments are sorted and how they can spawn side discussions like on Reddit or Lemmy.
I've been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote.

I think it's more that the situation is only going to get worse the longer we wait so he's pulling the trigger now for the best conditions he's ever going to get. Not great
The problem with the carbon tax is the same problem with the US's Obamacare. It's the conservative solution that liberals picked because they thought it would be the easiest way to get the right on board with a plan of action.
In reality, the easiest way to get the right on board with a plan of action is if you either bribe them or threaten them with an overwhelming show of force. They can't be worked with, only steamrolled.
Something to think about is that there are men who see a benefit to gayness being something you can be social ostracized for, because it enables them to have gay sex freely with the knowledge that if there partners ever tell anyone about it they'll suffer repercussions.
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people....
Funny, when it first happened they had officials saying this was because rockets were fired at Tel Aviv from Gaza.
It's pretty clear that the people in Gaza are being collectively punished for Hamas attacks. Shoot rockets at us, we'll shoot our rockets at people living in tents in your territory. That will teach you.
The editors are all gone now. Look at newspapers. No one is going to pay someone to check the work of the other guy you're paying for that work, that's like paying twice for the same job.
On the issue of Gaza, Biden is dramatically out of touch with the voters he needs to win re-election. If he will not be moved by morality to stop his support of this war, he should be moved by vulgar self-interest. Gaza is not a distant foreign conflict: it is an urgent moral emergency for large swaths of voters. Biden will lose...
Dismiss the 'sjws' sure, but it's literally impossible for democrats to win the presidency unless black voters are enthusiastic about the candidate. Biden's Gaza stance hurts him with black voters.
