The messages on Mac are becoming more ridiculous and cumbersome each upgrade though. Kind of sick of jumping through System Settings hoops every time I upgrade an app

It used to be relevant.

Then tech jobs stopped existing and now Linkedin is a pure AI content driven jerk off engine for desperate people without a (real) job to sound important.

What a joke really. The 'position' itself and the companies who pretend to care about ethics

New comment by ulfw in "Why MySpace fans want it back as relaunch hinted"

myspace was a social network.

Today we have no social networks. Zuckerberg has turned Facebook into.. frankly I don't even know what it is. But it's not about getting updates from your friends. instagram took that place but he fucked that one up too by mutating it into a cheap tiktok clone instead.

Social networks are now just influencer/media produced slob to be consumed by the masses. A Youtube with shorter clips.

It's not an actual social network where you could find out what your friends are up to

Surely is completely unrelated to Musk throwing money behind electing the people who give him these contracts.

AI is a commodity. This is proven now. And valuations will have to drop 90%.

There's a lot of AI models that each 'win' one week over the next. The pure definition of a commodity market and not a 'winner takes all market' as valuations would imply

I am such an ignorant idiot. You are right. God my ignorance. 1.3 MM North Korean soldiers, nuclear bomb. 500,000 standing troops South Korean forces. 28,000+ US troops station in South Korea. A demilitarized zone. All there for pure funsies and out of nothing but boredom.

You are right. It's much better than Quebec's big riiiiiiiise against the evil English-speaking Canada... which... checks atlas... oh... Quebec is a part of? Wait... what?

God if only I wasn't so ignorant!

I have never once delegated anything to an agent and my life is still going on. Funny how that goes.

Please educate yourself about the Korea border. It's an actual real thing and has zero resemblance to Quebec/Ottawa

It's really easy if you just look for jobs elsewhere and go throw the local legal processes, which are generally all easier/better/more helpful than the 'we don't want you' USA. I have lived in Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong since leaving California and have Permanent Residence now in Hong Kong and Australia.
