Canva’s UI is somehow more fiddly than Word for making edits, but they’ve always seemed like a pretty decent company to me.

…of course that only holds true until it doesn’t - I’m looking at you, Google.

Hey now - Texas has the state guard too - do you think the entire weight of the Pentagon, it’s carrier strike groups, and multiple branches of well-funded modern military is any match for ~1,600 good ol’ boys?

Because the AI isn’t needed, and would be computationally expensive.

Extensions like ublock origin and sponsorblock work just fine.

Ah - wonderful!

I’ve not heard a remotely defensible explanation for the ongoing genocidal land grab, but I do wonder what could conceivably justify it.

Not sure about you, but I’ll take workers reminding everyone who is in charge and how democracy works over cops constantly shooting the innocent - people, dogs, whatever, and generally carrying on like thugs.

Why?

I think they can be useful thought exercises to tease out people’s priorities and values.

This is less for the benefit of the willfully stupid than it is for bystanders that would be taken in by the unchallenged ignorance.

FWIW, I had a similarish experience with my local Craigslist equivalent (Gumtree)… They had a security breach, which led to my barely-used account being hacked by someone that was posting (I assume) fake car listings.

I reported it to them, and their response was to blacklist me. No great loss - why would I want to use a platform that badly managed. I later worked with one of their mid-level managers from that period, and yeah-it was an absolute shitshow there.

Here’s a push in the right direction for the cripplingly lazy.

Macarthayism was a hell of a drug.

You mean to tell me that a company that engaged in red scare marketing is now engaged in hyper-capitailist behaviour to fuck their consumers to make a buck? The shock.

The number of times people that have denied the literal dictionary definition of gender when I place it in front of them… with linked sources… from multiple dictionaries… often ones those people chose themselves…

Education about the definition of these words is important, but it does nothing to combat the mainstream conservative position that “the dictionary is wrong and woke because… idk - the Jews want them transes to rape babies or something.” The only way to combat that entrenched, willful ignorance is with a big rock.

I’ve been avoiding people management for years - and about a year ago, I was apprached by a company I’ve worked with for an exec gig. Dream job that would have shot me forward 10+ years in my career.

I lost it because I haven’t managed people since I worked in retail. It’s held me back pretty seriously, and I understand now that it’s better me leading a team than most of the schmucks I’ve worked for.

If there were aliens, there’s zero chance Trump could resist bragging that he knows all about them.

I can’t speak for this particular practice, or for Mormons, but things like the poophole loophole and the clapper are definitely nonsense tricks to try and get one past an omniscient creator - to an outsider (in my case, one that lived in Provo for a short stint), it’s plausible.

Work like it’s a crippling addiction - it’s not as though crackheads have miserable lives, their bodies literally falling apart as their minds figuratively do the same, until they either muster the incredible willpower to endure the intense suffering required to drop the habit, enduring lifelong consequences, or die an early death.

As far as red flags go…

That’s supposed to be an either thing?

Rhetorical question: antitrust when?

They are dominant in search, ads, browser, mobile hardware, mobile os, mapping, and email. They’re using their dominance to corece users, and are just getting away with it. The influence they have over the Internet is second to none, and it shows they’ve dropped the whole “don’t be evil” thing.
