Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

After reversing its position on remote work, Dell is reportedly implementing new tracking techniques on May 13 to ensure its workers are following the company’s return-to-office (RTO) policy, The Register reported today, citing anonymous sources....

I still remember having to operate on their old desktops with the snap-down clamshell design. Infuriating.

aphlamingphoenix,

Even calling it an underdog story kind of betrays the truth that they did not expect to win, contrary to their claims that a loss would prove a rigged election.

aphlamingphoenix,

So the church was homophobic a decade ago and then fought to protect their legal right to make an example of that homophobia to the children they’re supposed to be stewarding into the world for a full decade and now rest their case on homophobia… “Why are our attendance numbers dropping? Could it be that we’re completely out of touch with reality? No, it’s reality that is wrong.”

I think container tabs, which is currently an official Mozilla extension, should be native.

Transgender activists flood Utah tip line with hoax reports to block bathroom law enforcement (apnews.com)

Transgender activists have flooded a Utah tip line created to alert state officials to possible violations of a new bathroom law with thousands of hoax reports in an effort to shield trans residents and their allies from any legitimate complaints that could lead to an investigation....

aphlamingphoenix,

To split some hairs, I’m not trans, but I’m all in favor of trans rights. If I take action in favor of trans rights, I’m a “trans rights activist”, but not a “trans activist”.

aphlamingphoenix,

Can we please call this the “Tina Peters Defense”?

aphlamingphoenix,

I think the connotation is that a Muppet is controlled by someone else. Their every thought, word, and action is the intent of their handlers.

aphlamingphoenix,

I had that scene with the prostitutes from Fargo in my mind.

aphlamingphoenix,

There’s a trust issue here as well since AI only works if you train it and we are training it with our activity, reported to private companies who can do whatever they please with it. I don’t trust anything Microsoft does.

aphlamingphoenix,

It also encourages you to shop at, say, Kroger rather than Safeway.

US Supreme Court justices scrutinize Trump immunity claim (www.reuters.com)

U.S. Supreme Court justices on Thursday quizzed lawyers for Donald Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith about the former president’s claim of immunity from prosecution for trying to undo his 2020 election loss, posing questions about what happens if a president sells nuclear secrets, takes a bribe or orders a coup or...

aphlamingphoenix,

Yeah, like where is the example of such abuse? Is this not the first such prosecution in American history? Seems absurd to me to suggest that there might be a problem of abuse, or that the criminal justice system doesn’t already set a high enough standard for conviction generally, or that this case doesn’t rise to a level of severity justifying prosecution.

aphlamingphoenix,

I’ve never had rhubarb. I’ve heard it’s sweet (people make pies out of it), but it looks like celery, which is one of my most hated foods. What does it actually taste like? Is it palatable raw?

aphlamingphoenix,

That was roughly my experience with East of Eden.

aphlamingphoenix,

There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use “420 Enhance Your Calm” as a code to indicate you’re being rate limited.

aphlamingphoenix,

They don’t want to pay out for expensive drugs. They can’t be profitable if they pay for the healthcare your doctor prescribes for you.

aphlamingphoenix,

One day you may wake up in an unreasonable cult! And you may ask yourself, “How did I get here?!”

aphlamingphoenix,

I really like watching Sam Alvey win because of how stupid happy he gets. It’s fun and infectious. Problem is he hasn’t won a fight in ages. When you see him on a card you know it’s filler material. He’s been hit in the head so many times he’s become a company man.

aphlamingphoenix,

Since the act of writing to an SSD is an act of wear that will eventually lead to a broken storage device, using an SSD for swap is a uniquely bad idea, right? Are Macs still designed so that you can’t replace your own hardware easily? I’ve never owned one, but I was asked to service one many years ago and it was a real pain.

aphlamingphoenix,

I did the same thing. It’s one of the cheapest upgrades you can get for a PC, but Apple will charge triple the actual cost to maximize profits.

aphlamingphoenix,

The DARE Effect, I think we should call that.

aphlamingphoenix,

You can have twenty minutes of “chair yoga” per week.

anti-Jesus

You might say the Jesus character in the Bible is a projection of the Yahweh character’s internal need to excuse his own horrendous behavior in the same way that Trump excuses his base’s behaviors.
