I ended my time on Duolingo in the #NewYear, after finding out they sacked a bunch of translators and are now relying on AI to generate sentences for learning. Essentially, they are just generating the content via AI and having a limited number of translators "check the work" before putting it up into their programs.
I also noticed that, the longer I went on in my Duolingo program, the quality of the learning seemed to decrease dramatically, and after learning about the AI thing, it started to dawn on me that this could be part of the reason for that. But even if it isn't related, the fact that they are making this move toward AI only means in the future, the learning WILL decrease in quality whether we like it or not, and that's no fun at all.
So No Thanks, #Duolingo. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Many of my former #HostGator colleagues were #fired today after they tirelessly worked to consolidate the #WebHosting brand (along with other #NewfoldDigital brands) onto a single platform.
I foresaw this after a year under the new company, which was created from Web.com’s “merger” with #EnduranceInternational’s web presence division (HG, #Bluehost, etc.)
Believe them when they say you’re just keeping the lights on—it’s only a matter of time before they cut your power.

DAVE MUSTAINE On His Acrimonious Relationship With Some Ex-MEGADETH Members: 'People That Get Fired Are Very Rarely Happy That They Got Fired'
A #pharmacist who reused syringes while giving people #COVID19 shots at a #NewWestminster#pharmacy two years ago is suing his former employer, saying his “slight” error in judgment was insufficient to justify firing him without cause.
If Donald #Trump wins a second term, he & his allies want to revive a plan to allow a #president to #fire#CivilService workers who are supposed to be hired on #merit. The Biden administration is trying to thwart it.
The rule addresses a move #Trump tried to make late in his presidency by issuing an EO known in shorthand as #ScheduleF. It would have empowered his admin to strip #JobProtections from #career#federal#employees — who are supposed to be hired based on #merit & cannot be arbitrarily fired. While the EO said agencies should not hire or fire Schedule F employees based on #political affiliation, it effectively would have made these employees more like political appointees who can be #fired#AtWill.
You claim to give a shit about refugees while in the same breath calling for the heads of the rich.
Yes. Because when articles literally telling people to skip meals in order to save money get published, unironically, I am going to balk at a multi-channel outlet operation to garner sympathy for these people.
Bothsidesing this falls so flat when you know this guy ###fired a safety whistleblower### and the people went with him thinking that is a very good and fun idea.
No path that condemns people to suffering and death is just.
You wrote I am PERSONALLY condemning people to death here twice, as if repetition majes it true.
I am obviously not condemning anyone to death. Am I? I never woke up one day and wished for these people to die.
They did that themselves.
And especially that poor kid who didn't even want to be there.
Without further ado, here is the summary of the Palmer Report:

"Fox News has #fired#Tucker#Carlson, its highest rated and most profitable host, in a move so dramatic that he’s not even being allowed to do a final show. The initial presumption was that it was in response to the #Dominion settlement. But if anything, after Fox had to write a check..."
