Yeah, Google, Meta, Amazon, and probably others really need to get broken up and get proper antitrust treatment. I say this even as someone who holds stock (like a total of 5 shares, so not much) in a couple of those. I used to dream of working at Google as well, but that dream died quite some time ago based on their actions and culture.
Would you like fries with that for only a dollar more?

I might finally get a six-pack!
As someone who started in tech support in 2000 and is a software developer now: absolutely not.
All I see in the thumbnail is delicious, forbidden makizushi
Nice! Thank you!
I will learn to build a mouse and write my own damn drivers first.
Well, certainly less ominous than being based on where I’ll die.
Especially when the job market contracted with all the IT company layoffs, some people may be stuck in jobs they hate because opportunities are few and they’d rather not be homeless or have their kids not have food and so on.
Ah, yeah; hat would make sense
I get the feeling, but if the business has no say in getting recommended, aren’t you just punishing businesses that may not even know this program exists? That would suck for very small businesses.
Edit: my brain was thinking recommendations not paid ads so please disregard.
I imagine data security and what the government would know is putting some off. It is part of the reason the national ID (My Number) faltered.
Off the top of my head, and I’m sure there are more, people use: tinder, bumble, Pairs, Zwei, Zekushi, and probably more. Pairs and Zwei, at least, are geared toward long-term and marriage. Pairs had a very bad UX and, of course, a cost. I did meet some people on there, but nothing lasted (one nearly did, but I wasn’t doing another LTR with a barely-functional alcoholic that otherwise was a great match).
I have an m3 now (I had an m1. I later found out about 3 other laptops had issues around the same time so I actually suspect something weird in remote management, but I don’t know mac well enough to assert that more). They decided that since I technically, however frustratingly and measurably more slowly, can do my work, it’s not worth the “security risk”. I still bring it up at basically every opportunity and I’m not the only one. I live in a very remote area of Japan and remote jobs are hard to come by, so, at the same time, I’m not making too much noise.
I had some success with this, but ran into some issues as well that also made it annoying. The first laptop the gave me died and I lost all that progress and haven’t tried again since.
That really depends on the person, I think. I last used mac in like 2003 until last year with my new job. I hate almost everything about it. Nothing works the way I expect it to. I love clicking on an app in the dock just to have it… not show up? It gains focus and, wherever it is, will have input if I’m typing. Same with command+tab sometimes. I also can’t switch between fullscreen windows of the same app without installing something, apparently (my coworker who uses mac at home couldn’t figure it out either). It has slowed me down and made me less productive. Work won’t let us have linux laptops for whatever reason which, as a developer, would be so much nicer.
Basically every tunnel and such here has an AM station to tune into for traffic/weather conditions (weather can be wildly different at the end of some longer tunnels, especially the ones that gain elevation or open to a bridge over a valley).
if less than 5% of users still regularly cast from a desktop browser.
Wait, I could do that?! It doesn’t matter a ton at the moment, but I might want to do that in future. I’ll have to look into it.
This image convinced me to make pizza. No glue, though I guess it technically involved flour and water (and starch and/or cellulose on the pre-shredded cheese)
I got not long after they stopped DVDs and the selection plummeted in the areas I was interested (a lot of niche films and foreign films for language practice, so not super common). Have not regretted it.
Japan is slowly getting better, but it’s a long road ahead. There are more laws and they’re actually enforcing some of them with regard to harassment and hours worked (a lot of people would clock out and keep working, but they’re trying to make the penalties bit enough to stop it from what I hear. My company is certainly strict about it).
It’d be nice to have european-level vacations before I retire, but that I don’t see happening
