  • I work in HR and it could also just be a poorly setup, unmonitored, unmanaged ATS (Applicant Tracking System) question that doesn't apply. I was applying for a job yesterday and one of their standard intake questions was about whether I had experience in molten metal pressing or something that (I hope?) didn't have anything to do with my application.

    I'm constantly blown away at how poorly companies setup the top of their talent funnel. NO ONE looks at the applications they force people to go through.

  • The LinkedIn post about the AI deregulation announcement was a who's who of assholes bleating about how great it would be; CEOs, COOs, from Open AI, Duke Energy, Fascists Anonymous.

    The Open AI persons comment was such sausage it had to be his own shitty AI

  • You're only thinking of the morality side of it.

    It's also wrong because they work for a company that probably says subordinate-supervisory relationships are forbidden because of the power imbalance and complications around how a personal relationship--or even the perceptions of one-- might affect workplace decisions--to say nothing of the invitation of harassment lawsuits. Co-workers--even non-supervisory-- who might even be at the same "level" or their work brings them together for anything can be incredibly problematic. All of this is even at a local, department or site level to say nothing of C-level consequences. This also says nothing of the fact that one of them is in charge of the function, HR, who would be the person most responsible for ensuring this kind of conduct didn't happen between employees. The hypocrisy and abdication of duty couldn't be more severe. Both have lost all credibility with anyone in their company, which means they cannot lead others.

  • Do you prefer Lemmy or reddit?

    Jump

  • 2 years on Lemmy now since API made me realize Reddit was going full enshittification and censorship. Lemmy has grown a lot and my mobile client, Boost(which came over from a Reddit client), makes it so enjoyable it makes up for many things.

    I dearly miss r/NBA and r/Wallstreetbets users for being able to make me laugh so much but maybe with time Lemmy will grow there.

  • They just stop(ped) offering support for whatever the product or line was. Create a "service portal" that provides results, relevant or not. Creat a forum where people can ask questions that aren't answered, or if they are it's the labor of some Stockholm Syndrome user who is trying to help others as they weren't.

    This won't stop here, it's the dream to not actually have to service your product. Imagine being Ford and saying "as is" when a customer asks why the blinker doesn't work. Insane, right? That is the push here for a few reasons, all $ of course:

    • achieve oligarchy or monopoly
    • enshittfy product
    • remove product support to save on support labor and related infrastructure
    • profit!

    *Profit for a while until people leave or you are replaced but what a profitable run!

  • Does anyone truly think times are better now than 30 years ago? (US)

    Jump

  • I agree with your assessment of current state; add in a few cohorts of 10 commandments in classrooms, reduced access to birth control because they're taken out of schools, reduced education because the DOE has been rebranded and now education takes place through public school Grok portals or God knows what, sexual content is heavily censored and restricted which doesn't do good things for teen pregnancy rates.

    Lol drive across state lines? In the palantir big brother world of 5 years from now? Read up on the data gathering and now nearly realtime tracking of movement that can and is being done by "law enforcement" and red state government agencies in the name of stopping abortion. Just like how facial recognition of protestors will be weaponized, the new fascists will take anything they get their mits on and warp it to their ends.

  • Violent crime about to explode as abortion now illegal in many places--the knock-on effects of it pretty well isolated as the only reasonable explanation to the sudden drop in violent crime in the mid 90s that has continued through today and was a central thesis in Freakonomics.

    With abortion now illegal, hushed up, or hidden in many states, the crime and its vicious cycle will return. Bet your money, when those who would have otherwise been aborted come of crime age in ~15 years, full Judge Dredd world will be on in the US. Teen pregnancy, from the 2nd generation of otherwise aborted kids, will of course explode to the delight of evangelicals everywhere.

  • This goes right up there with stock chart technical analysis. "It's definitely this. Though it can also be this. Or that. And it depends on the person. And the context. And...

  • Both companies are owned by a large Japanese conglomerate. They got lucky with indeed, and have used little of its unbelievable market share to solidify it's position and improve the product. Indeed, properly managed, would print money and go parabolic as a stock. Instead it's just sat there because both sites suck and exist on inertia.
