Incidents like this are a perfect excuse for the bean counters and marketing experts to chime in and recommend that the firmware be updated specifically to block third party ink or toner.

There’s no downside, the world is already trash talking your company, even if you didn’t do anything wrong, but while it’s happening, you get to sell a shitload more ink and toner.

Now you can consider yourself an “Award Winning Author”.

For the lack multiple upvotes, here’s a “silver” coin.

Might have to consider some Oscar generic awards ceremony worthy credits before long, mind you, finding the name of the obstetrician who birthed me is going to be a challenge.

I also noticed a distinct lack of family genealogy in your signature, if it wasn’t for our primordial ooze ancestors, neither of us would be here today.

This is going to require “some” research.

Hmm … I wonder if embedded YouTube iframes work … purely for bandwidth testing purposes of course.

I just discovered another missing attribute from my signature:

Hi mom!

So … adding a pronoun to every single email on the planet kills one person?

Can we nominate that person … there’s a few that come to mind.

On a more serious note, the article is crapping on about pronouns and land acknowledgements as if they’re what’s killing people.

Here’s a thought, what about AI, or what about the biggest carbon emitting companies, 57 account for 80% of emissions?

This article is nothing to do with killing people, it’s everything to do with killing pronouns and eliminating land acknowledgements.

Ooh … there’s going to be a lot of fun had with this… I wonder if you can use blink tags and animated gifs … strictly for educational purposes … I’ll be right back …

“Your proposal is acceptable.”

Block and Report … it’s similar to Like and Subscribe … but different.

Strictly for research purposes … right?

Block and Report … it’s similar to Like and Subscribe … but different.

Also, who is bringing the suit and tie?

I didn’t say that it was a valid KPI 😇

I think that this is the result of a KPI.

At some point there was a fight inside Google between engineering and marketing about how to proceed with product development. Engineers wanted a better product, marketing wanted more eyeballs.

As a result, search became about “engagement”, or “Moar clicks is betterer”.

Seen in this light, your triggering of the assistant four times increased your use and thus your engagement. An engineer would point out that this is not a valid metric, but Google is now run by the marketing and accounting departments, not by engineers.

Another aspect that I only recently became aware of is that in order to get promoted, you need to make a global impact. This is why shit is changing for no particular reason or benefit and has been for a decade or so.

It’s a pun on the word “Mistral” … not a very good one, but funny to an economist I suppose.

Wonderful idea. Love that you’ve figured out how to pay for it right off the bat.

Several suggestions:

• Add Australia as a country
• Add System76 as a supplier
• Add Operating System as a filter
• Add a way to highlight differences
• Add a way to export the data into a spreadsheet

Blowing hot … air?

If you open your CPU up to a jailbreak by being a dumkopf, does that really count as Open Source?

What does the fix look like?

Code scanners? Hackathons? Code review by new hires? Education? Methodology?

I spent quite some time trying to find a better way to put it, but stupid, idiot, ignorance, incredulity just didn’t seem to cover the experience of WTAF?
