Almost exclusively day-ta.

I’m a day-ta scientist who grabs raw day-ta from a tay-ta warehouse (using an interface that makes it look like a day-ta base) and manipulates it inside day-ta frames in order to do day-ta analysis. I also design day-ta analytics schemas.

Sometimes, though rarely, that day-ta warehouse holds rah dah-ta, though, and I can’t tell you how it got there or why.

The case of remote work shows that the CEO class as a whole failed to pick up an innovation yielding massive benefits before it was forced on them by the pandemic, and have continued to resist and resent it ever since.

Hey, look! It’s the whole of what’s going on here. The bosses were forced into letting us have a thing, and, as a result, they will never accept us having it, and will do everything they can – including destroying the business, if they’re privately held – to take it back.

They lost a minuscule slice of power over our lives, and they will never forgive us for that.

I quit my last job because they pulled us back to the office. That’s going to be a lot harder to do next time becauee of BS like this.

Everyone just has to sit on their hands and strike in-office to drive home the point. Something that’ll never happen in unorganized workplaces.

It’s funny. Before ChatGPT 3 hit the internet and LLMs became this big corporate white elephant obsession, I wpuld get pulled into meetings with my manager to discuss the “harsh tone” of my emails.

Now my bosses are pushing for us to use LLMs for basically everything, and my emails are no longer an issue.

The Mozilla trick

He’s Etobicoke Ralph Klein. This is his version of drunkenly throwing pennies at the homeless.

On the plus side, the province has demonstrated that the work nurses do is worth that much to it. Should be fun pointing that out in contracr negotiations.

“Private” here is being used to mean “private sector”, not “personal”.

Not who you replied to, but I’ve experienced it on both vanilla Element and on Schildichat over and over, as well as repeated logouts that require signin approval from one of my other active sessions.

That are on devices on different floors of the house, or even in different parts of the city.

Shit’s jankey as hell.

I want a public fibre network, not for-profit space junk.

But they’re only getting paid for the time a primter would take to print it, because why should she pay for more for less?

Shit, my desk used to be next to the kitchen. I made lunch and ran/emptied the dishwasher at the office and the bosses didn’t whinge about how I spent my time. I also did a bunch of my ideation on the office couch.

But do the same things in my home and it’s a problem? That tells me what the real issue is: the threat of agency.

"We falsely claim to be society’s bodyguard, and this is how we’re treated? As people you just expect to put themselves in harms way for your safety?

"The fuck is up with that?

“No, I don’t know what a bodyguard does. Why do you ask?”

Oh no. Won’t someone think of the people who are attracted to and hold a state monopoly on violence.

This. One of the points of this whole endeavour is self-hosting, in the name of resisting centralization.

Imagine if Mozilla had hostes its website on Geocities.

And won’t somebody think of the private sector! It just doesn’t have enough control over the public good!

Maybe people should just understand that you don’t @ me if you don’t want me to chime in. It’s actually pretty fucking rude.

Yes! Also just recency of posting vs recency of replies/upvotes.

Hey, that second array is the whole diet of someone I knew in university who “hated sauce”.

Is great until you need a job. It solves the 2 language problem right up until you’re working with others.
