Executives likely to use such a device aren’t using public transit.
Yes they are. Probably not in the country that calls it transit, mind. And lots of people would like to be able to have more private conversations in public, whether or not they’re travelling at the time.
Plus, I’ve seen a lot of threads over the years from gamers, or the people who have to live with them, looking for something exactly like this.
Thank you! Surprised the report didn’t mention that (I was too lazy to do a search).
If he were said to be omnipotent, this would be an interesting conundrum. But he isn’t so it doesn’t really work?
The subhead misses out the worst stuff. How on earth?
Criminal charges still in the works, I would hope.
Is this another thing that the rest of the world didn’t know the US doesn’t have?
Why could that possibly be?
(Hint: The answer is in the article you didn’t continue reading the moment you found an excuse for inaction.)
I’m not sure it’s ever legit for the job-hunter to be paying the recruiters. It would normally be the employer.
A % commission doesn’t give that much incentive to find you the very best job as opposed to the first one that will do. You’re paying them a percentage but they’re looking at the return per hour of work they put in. You’ll come under a lot of pressure to accept the first job on offer simply because that job gives them the best return even if it is a smaller cash amount than the best job they could possibly find (if they put the time in).
Their incentives do not align well with your incentives. So best avoided, IMO.
Using the wrong picture is almost as ridiculous as reducing his career to Dumbledore. For shame.
“90% of content moderators are foreigners. What we have experienced during the process is very hard… spending three months without receiving a salary, in a country that isn’t yours. You cannot pay the rent, you cannot buy food,” Nkuzimana explains. Cori Crider – co-director of Foxglove, a British organization that is supporting the workers in this process – adds that this situation “forces [the content moderators] to continue accepting insecure jobs to remain in [Kenya], despite the serious risk to their mental health.” Moderators have resorted to crowdfunding, so that they can support their families as the legal fight unfolds.
Just highlighting the exploitation of migrant workers here, like much of Twitter’s remaining workforce, apparently. It also reminded me of this story: The fishermen:
On November 22, Joanne circulated a letter among the migrant crew. “I have been made aware the crew members are contacting an outside representative,” it read, possibly referencing a call Quezon made to Stella Maris seeking help for Susada. “I am also aware that crew members have been leaving their port without permission or making our office aware. Sadly the actions by these crew members are beginning to ruin the trust and faith we have placed in our Filipino crew.” It concluded by noting they would make reports to local police and UK immigration authorities “if necessary”.
These people are fucking sick. The whole system that denies people the legal right to work just so they can be more easily exploited is fucking sick.
I’m going to go and punch some walls. Laters.
There’s only so much time in the day. And far too easy to waste it arguing pointless things with random strangers on the internet.
In this case, their motive does not matter. They did you a favour shutting it down before you wasted any more time thinking about something that does not matter at all.
For those who boycott, Sodastream are an Israeli company. I believe Drinkmate has its origins in wanting an alternative to that. Just so everyone can choose their side.
If you’re going to drink that much sparkling water (as I do), invest in a Drinkmate or similar. It’s about as cheap as the very cheapest sparkling water but you end up with much, much less plastic to pretend to recycle.

Every right-wing accusation is a confession.
many years now
This appears to be an escalating fraud, affecting newer models more than old. So I’d guess that’s ^^ the answer.
It’s not just a Reuters investigation, they’ve been fined by a few jurisdictions and they absolutely do have the ability to pay lawyers to defend those charges if they’re false.
Without a pass, you’d need a passport to prove eligibility. Not everyone owns a passport.
Yes. It’s happened to me and it is a head fuck. The email was from a business with a perfectly legit email address.
They don’t seem to list the instances they trawled (just the top 25 on a random day with a link to the site they got the ranking from but no list of the instances, that I can see).
We performed a two day time-boxed ingest of the local public timelines of the top 25 accessible Mastodon instances as determined by total user count reported by the Fediverse Observer…
That said, most of this seems to come from the Japanese instances which most instances defederate from precisely because of CSAM? From the report:
Since the release of Stable Diffusion 1.5, there has been a steady increase in the prevalence of Computer-Generated CSAM (CG-CSAM) in online forums, with increasing levels of realism.17 This content is highly prevalent on the Fediverse, primarily on servers within Japanese jurisdiction.18 While CSAM is illegal in Japan, its laws exclude computer-generated content as well as manga and anime. The difference in laws and server policies between Japan and much of the rest of the world means that communities dedicated to CG-CSAM—along with other illustrations of child sexual abuse—flourish on some Japanese servers, fostering an environment that also brings with it other forms of harm to children. These same primarily Japanese servers were the source of most detected known instances of non-computer-generated CSAM. We found that on one of the largest Mastodon instances in the Fediverse (based in Japan), 11 of the top 20 most commonly used hashtags were related to pedophilia (both in English and Japanese).
Some history for those who don’t already know: Mastodon is big in Japan. The reason why is… uncomfortable
I haven’t read the report in full yet but it seems to be a perfectly reasonable set of recommendations to improve the ability of moderators to prevent this stuff being posted (beyond defederating from dodgy instances, which most if not all non-dodgy instances already do).
It doesn’t seem to address the issue of some instances existing largely so that this sort of stuff can be posted.
Jewish fascism, not Nazism.
Nazism is, in part, defined by its anti-semitism and, while many of Israel’s supporters are anti-semitic (notably Christian Zionists but also those who insist that ‘real’ Jews support Israel regardless) it’s just not appropriate to identify Nazism as the form of fascism practiced by Israel. It is authoritarian and supremacist but it is not specifically Nazi.
Ur-Fascism is a good read.
