  The morale nosedive that layoffs bring means the loss of company productivity is so much higher than just who you let go. They have to be the absolute last resort. Pete Parsons has to go.

  What’s the name of this feature for GrapheneOS? I’m not finding it.

  I played some last night going in completely blind. I enjoyed it, but there isn’t really a tutorial, just tooltips that come up periodically. Unfortunately my town died after a few hours because I didn’t understand I was supposed to be preparing food for as soon as possible (crops grow on a year cycle, so you need the seeds in ASAP). Makes logical sense, but the game doesn’t tell you and then I was stuffed.

  I think it’s totally fun as a sandbox/run-based game, but if you’re looking for something more you’ll need to wait.

  My guess is it’s much simpler: some genius at Fujitsu thought it would be helpful if they could remotely log in to machines for support reasons. They (unreasonably) didn’t want to send people onsite and they (reasonably) didn’t think Post Office workers would be able to resolve issues over the phone.

  People literally committed suicide over the hounding by the Post Office. People have gone to jail for encouraging suicide. People go to jail for false statements to the police.

  Executives get golden parachutes and incompetent contractors keep getting contracts.
