I don’t disagree with you and I think his intentions are good, it’s just that there are other symbols that he could have used. Especially now that a lot of people don’t even know what clippy is and it’s a corporate symbol.
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 3 days ago:
Not OP, but I see where he’s coming from. Clippy is still the symbol of a corporation instead of basic human rights like:
- right to own
- right to repair
- right to live a life free of ads in things owned
Something like this would be better. I just grabbed it, I don’t think it’s affiliated with something else:

Again, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, it probably does, but that story doesn’t prove it either.
Why are you writing diatribes then?
- Comment on Meta illegally collected data from Flo period and pregnancy app, jury finds 5 days ago:
You might be partially right, but I can’t find what is meant by the “recorded conversations” part. I guess I gotta look further in.
“Each of the Defendants had their own purpose for collecting and using Flo user data,” the brief said. “Flo used this information to acquire new app users through advertising and marketing, including advertisements based on Flo App users’ reproductive goals (e.g., getting pregnant). Flo also sold access to the CAEs sent through SDKs to other third parties for profit. Google and Meta separately used the data they intercepted for their own commercial purposes, including to feed their machine learning algorithms that power each of their respective advertising networks.”

We’ve got a lot of really smart people here, some are journalists. These people go around telling other people and now have links to sources. Why do you think the trolls come here?
It’s good to have this as a back up when the techbro trolls try to say they don’t really listen for ads or data farming. This happened just a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t find a link.

This is not about just the data, they were found guilty of fucking eavesdropping. I can’t wait to see people defending this as not being true for advertising. Please bookmark this article everyone. That headline is crap.
Plaintiffs in a class-action case proved by a preponderance of evidence that Meta intentionally eavesdropped on and/or recorded conversations using an electronic device, said a verdict form released yesterday in US District Court for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs also proved that they had a reasonable expectation of privacy and that Meta did not have consent from all parties to eavesdrop on and/or record the conversations, the jury found.

Understanding The Rise In CEO Exits
Directors looking to understand and address the exodus can look first to a number of drivers, including the tremendous pressure today’s leaders face contending with volatility and unprecedented change in an unforgiving market. Focus on short-term performance, geopolitical turbulence and talent concerns have all escalated in recent years. When the headwinds hit, CEOs find themselves squarely in the firing line, as Bill George, former CEO of Medtronic and a former board member at Goldman Sachs, ExxonMobil, Novartis and Target, points out in this issues’s cover story (see p. 16). “I know one case where a CEO was given 16 months,” he says. “How can you possibly turn around a culture in 16 months? They’re reacting too quickly to external forces, and that’s not right.”

So the board members could replace the CEOs with AI if they desired. I guess their saving grace is it would be hard to extort, blackmail and coerce AI.

This is great satire, but unfortunately you can replace microwave with AI and CEO’s are actually saying this shit fr.
One of my chefs mentioned that if they could cook the steak on the grill they could get it right the first time. This is not an acceptable attitude in the microwave era. Chefs have fragile egos and they all seem to enjoy cooking (???) so it’s obvious they’re just too attached to the food. Also they’re worried I’m planning on firing all of them. That’s true but not relevant here.
Second – you need to realize I’m an idea person. Ok? Who else would have thought about putting pepperoni on a pizza? And if I didn’t have a microwave no one may have delivered that idea at all. With a microwave I was able to deliver that idea much faster. The new economy will be purely idea based. Is the quality of a microwaved pizza worse? Sure. But by 1960 cooking pizzas in ovens will be a thing of the past. I don’t have any evidence to back that up. But any rational person can see in a few short years ovens will be gone.

- Comment on Google tool misused to scrub tech CEO’s shady past from search 1 week ago:
The saga began in 2023 when independent journalist Jack Poulson reported on Maury Blackman’s 2021 domestic violence arrest. Blackman, who was then the CEO of surveillance tech firm Premise Data Corp., took offense at the publication of his legal issues. The case did not lead to charges after Blackman’s 25-year-old girlfriend recanted her claims against the 53-year-old CEO, but Poulson reported on some troubling details of the public arrest report.

Utilities really hate you reporting them to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) too. I have no idea why, but it works. I think it has to do with the utilities checking there for complaints by the Attorney General of the state you’re in. Comcast hated it and would settle the case asap when they could.

“I’m sure this would be handled just like any other thing they tried to go after like the baseless impeachments, or the baseless special counsels. Or the unbelievable amount of charges they tried to file against the president. I’m sure this will be handled the exact same way,” Mullin said. “What we’re simply wanting to do here is give [Trump] cover. So if my colleague from Arizona actually wants transparency, then he would drop his objection to my resolution.”
