We have a former raw onion eating Prime Minister who would call budgie smugglers the superior choice and wear them in public just to prove it.

I was not familiar with this music. Orgasmatron has a completely different meaning here … pretty sure I’ve had one of these for decades:

(For scale, you fit your head inside the tines, and slowly massage your scalp.)

I’ve seen way worse supplier fuckups happen in multiple other industries…

Like?

Over the years I’ve seen people in high profile roles resign in protest, but I’ve never understood it. I still don’t.

Is the whole point to bring attention to an issue and then what, hope for the best?

Is it not being able to look at yourself in the mirror and resigning with extra steps?

Is it a public dummy spit?

How does resigning actually fix something, or is that not a consideration?

As I said, I don’t understand.

Anyone?

So … sue the state?

This is by far the fastest, safest and most complete option.

One tip: Make sure that all the things you want to export are ticked because by default they’re not.

You can even set this up as a regular process if you want.

It could be worse, you could be watching grass grow while some people chase a ball around… 😁

… and nothing of value was lost …

On the flipside, that’s 90 days more than Epstein’s friends are getting.

A merging of the two 😁

Nothing quite like creating a specific incentive for researchers to seek “alternative” sources of income as payment for their research efforts.

Microsoft tried this … seems to be working out for them … not.

I was making a point that “protecting the children” is not what this is about, because the “resources” I mentioned are a very low barrier to entry for undesirable and illegal, not to mention obscene and disturbing … “content”.

So … Google Search and Chat GPT?

And despite widespread condemnation, now yet another billionaire is in charge of even more of the global narrative.

I have no evidence that LinkedIn provides work, I attempted to use it for several years to find work and was entirely unsuccessful.

Among the quagmire I left, all I saw was Assumed Intelligence slop and bots attempting to harvest contacts.

There was a time when LinkedIn was useful as a tool to grow and interact with your network, these days it’s Xitter with more characters.

While I understand your point, before I left LinkedIn I spent several years looking for work, nothing changed after leaving, other than not having to deal with the “offers” from “agents” who didn’t reply, let alone look at my experience before making a stupid “job offer” in exchange for my contacts.

Leaving LinkedIn increased my quality of life significantly, even though I’m still looking for work.

You have the option to stop using LinkedIn altogether.

There was a time when it was useful, then it started harvesting data and accessing your contacts without your permission, then Microsoft bought it, then it became an influencer swamp, then it demanded that you turn off 50+ individual permissions hidden away in a deep preferences hierarchy, then it opted you in to feed the Assumed Intelligence black hole, which is where I opted out and stopped using it.

Job search has always been a joke, recommendations absurd, direct applications ignored and non-existent filters to make job search relevant.

In other words, do yourself a favour and leave.

Just like every website has a cookie alert. Meaningless, annoying and extra work for everyone.

AI remains top reason excuse for US job cuts for third straight month as employers axed 97,000 workers in May

Not at all.

A law that isn’t enforceable or actually enforced is stupid.

This is in my opinion a good example of a stupid law.
