fawning celebration of its subject

That’s all I needed to hear to know that it’s bad.

Yes. Android already does all these things. But I think the things I’m excited most about are not on this list at all.

  1. A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

  2. Personal messaging via satellite. I love that I can stay in touch with people outside of a cell network.

The Satanic Temple has entered the chat

So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

But this also breaks labour laws. For-profit organizations can’t hire volunteers because it breaks minimum wage laws. An exception would be an internship for school.

Best thing to do is report it.

Call centres exist because people can’t get the help they need by searching. Take away call centres, and you’re just making it more difficult for customers.

The devices those users paid for? That should be illegal.

I was laid off last year. Got a job after a while and just survived another layoff today. I agree with this assessment.

It’s all post-pandemic stuff. Executives thought growth would continue, and it didn’t. Then they had to take account for their decisions and make others suffer for them.

And it’s self-wiping when it comes out.

I don’t care what one of the richest people in the world thinks about labour and work/life balance. I care what the average person thinks.

But he’s right about this.

It would be pretty funny for a court to actually determine that a “just business” is synonymous with “doing evil”

You’re entitled to a full refund for that at least, but getting it and rebooking a flight that works will be another annoyance.

I was at a coffee shop in a rich neighbourhood. Someone left the shop and then came back in speaking loudly to everyone. “Who here has the Mercedes with the license plate that starts with M?” They asked.

Someone raised their hand.

“You need to move your car” The entitled man demanded.

“But I parked in the middle of the spot.” The Mercedes owner replied.

“I can’t get in to my car”

It turns out the entitled guy had a Rolls Royce that he parked over the line. The Mercedes driver parked next to him, but inside the lines. The Rolls Royce driver didn’t accept that he was the one who parked terribly. He just demanded that the other person needed to move their car. Not politely asking, just a demand.

To add to it, this place only has about 8 spots and it’s always busy. The idea that no one should park next to him is the epitome of entitled.
