when you can't be friends at work and everyone outside work is at work as is the case in a service economy, it spirals folks into situations straight out of grimm's fairy tales
I wish more folks distributed Linux ISOs via Bittorrent since it has an integrity check built into the protocol -- messing with PGP is hard and showing me an MD5 sum over a self signed certificate is... just special.
wait so he only denied the floor pooping not the more serious allegation? that's almost as funny as the tweet. forever sad i let my precarity to drive me to post so badly i got removed from The Website
you gotta know other CEOs from serving on Company Boards, or be extremely good friends with someone who is, AND have all the skills necessary to do the job easily.
about references like this: getting references for this kind of work can be difficult, because to someone of that economic tier, keeping your reputation up and your network connections strong are the most valuable secondary skills you can have. vouching for someone who would not be a good CEO would kill your reputation, so it doesn't really happen among the highest tier of companies. Also, boards usually vote on these things, even for interim positions, so .. ya gotta know other CEOs from serving with them on boards.
i tire of talk about reputation when whole social networks made of juked stats have risen and fallen.
the highest tier of companies are the ones you have not heard of, or if you have, no one dreams of leading because they're boring, making solid profits over and over while ad men try to so AMC in real life
Thanks for the kind words :). I didn't necessarily mean "useless" in a self-deprecating way. I only meant it in the sense of the linked article called "Write More 'Useless Software'"-- i.e. that it doesn't directly have a production use.
I'm curious what you mean about greasemonkey and noscript. Do you just mean you're astounded that such cool add-ons were made, or something else?
I more meant it's a fork in your personal browsing experience -- do you want to do a lot of risky customizations, or lock things down?
(To paint a picture, I'm writing this in TBB since it forces only HTTPs JS and I want to get an approximate picture of what others see, then then people complain about the obvious exit node I pop over to a public location's wifi with uBlock and NoScript and try to allow as little as possible.
Ah, I see. Wow, that is a high level of dedication to Internet privacy! With my work and interests I would 100% be incapable of using a combo of TOR, public wifi, and other locked-down browsers / networks. Props to you!
There's people on the other end of these posts. People who are surprisingly unable to fight, run, or even go up a steep hill without nearly having a stroke.
Maybe someone should challenge them to be a more physical kind of test case, if they want to turn the world into Forensic Files.
Google siphons up reams of data it shouldn't have because Chrome is the default in scores of libraries and government facilities, passing data to brokers that makes it harder to navigate the web and easier to keep people in the fiedoms of Musk, Zuck, and... whichever Google founder people weren't complaining keeps trying to get them do go to his yacht discos.
It's ok to treat yourself, the issue is if someone wants to sit and read in the corner and they don't get the same wealth as the person who let them be grinded on by some creep like the world is the worst kind of techno bar.
