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.

Right. Off.

Change your luggage combo too.

And by infuriated trump, they mean infuriated his election box funder attendees Bezos, Cool, Pichai. Of course I could be way off and it may be an innocent coincidence…🤑

Came here to make the Minchin comparison.

the banks are going to have to get involved soon…figure out a way to load up working-age people with long-term debt

Why the hell do the banks need to step in? System for an indentured workforce is already in full effect:

• no safety net, unemployment difficult to get and punishing poverty if it’s all you have
• require a car (e.g. initial capital and ongoing cost) to participate in many jobs
• have oligopolies rent out housing that is so expensive even those with full-time work can’t save any money
• have oligopolies own groceries, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
• have oligopolies own medical facilities, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
• stuff people full of consumer desires and give them easy access to credit

Be quiet!

Intuit about to hire a “private Security company”

Your brevity is perfectly cromulent.

It’s global. Denmark just increased retirement age by 3 years. The UK is trying their best to serve their wealthy masters and worsen their system. The fascists running the US right now claim social security is “insolvent” but have passed decades of giveaways to wealthy and corporations instead of funding social security and many other basics…all on the eve of trillions in giveaways of their proposed budget.

So what are the reforms sought that the government is trying for force onto workers in lockstep with major declining states? Can I guess longer working years, reduced benefits…?

Totally lost their way as they commodified and expanded so quickly. Truly great, unique insights are worth keeping small and waiting for. All the ted x and mini Ted x and micro teds etc. just water the brand and impact down.

I went to one in 2015 and cried, multiple times. By 2020 I couldn’t even stand to watch them online as everyone was trying to give the next great Ted talk instead of Ted picking the most impactful content. They also got into echo chamber/preaching to the choir territory as it became too rote.

I’d say given the current tech environment that book would “educate” based more on a Brave New World caste and less on ideal knowledge to raise someone up but to keep them in a certain assigned position.

You are probably caught in a catch-22; many such HR systems didn’t used to require security questions to make resetting passwords easy. Then, of course with modern data breaches the companies over time added in the requirement. The problem being when they added the security question requirement, they didn’t do the critical piece of requiring all current users to update/create security questions so any login attempt outside SSO and you’re screwed. Someone else’s problem boss!

Well no, just the largest ones who can pay some fine or have nearly endless legal funds to discourage challenges to their practice, this bring a form of a pretend business moat. The average company won’t be able to and will get shredded.

Thank you for sharing. I feel like this is the first fediverse exploration I’ve had the energy for since coming over in the Reddit exodus.

Can someone explain how this can/would work for a Lemmy user? They talk about federation, would that be just within this bonfire platform where anyone can put a website and social media to connect via their goals and aims and structure or could this connect to Lemmy somehow, or would that require an integration between bonfire and Lemmy? How would instances of bonfire decide whether to connect or federate with Lemmy or vice versa?

While also completely missing the boat on the potential of graphics cards and watching Nvidia and even AMD become massively more relevant in recent years.

And then, to bring us full circle to OP, Microsoft made it’s strategic acquisition of Nokia long after they had squandered enviable market share to Apple and Google 😂 https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/25/11766540/microsoft-nokia-acquisition-costs
