I don’t really understand the point?

Correct: you don’t. I’m basing this only off what you wrote, but I’m reasonably confident of my answer. Glad I could answer the question as asked.

Shaame!

Well, we get to slam it and heckle its users, because, well, we need SOME joy in The world…

No. Any frustration like this only serves to push all employees a bit.

And the Dead Sea Effect reminds us that the people who leave first will be those who get jobs elsewhere first. These are the most employable, and thus the most capable, and thus probably your best employees.

RTO and other stupid patterns won’t push out the most desperate; they’ll push out the most valuable. And then the most valuable of what’s left. And so on.

Managers who choose pride over effectiveness need to be unemployed.

Let me know how the class action goes.

minimal acceptable set of politics.

I like how you said “minimal”, like it’s a floor and not a flavour.

No-no, it’s perfect like that. Don’t dare change it.

Those of us around for the days when off-shoring was some kind of magic pill will remember how it wasn’t. Outsourcing to some guy in Delhi, Ohio, doesn’t seem so different; apart from time zone, maybe.

Ai isn’t the cause for this but it certainly was the enabler.

Slopping.

What is the cause of the outrage? You’re being recorded from his glasses, yes, but you’re also being recorded from like 8 other camera angles with or without him

You seriously see no difference between store cameras recording for liability and some rando recording for lul$? The night-and-day difference between what a person agrees to with a store while shopping inside it and what is thrust on them by a rando with no regs on retention and security, is the absolute same to you? Really?

Really?

Nah. Having worked in the industry - we built (the) Unix and a Linux distro, and I helped secure it - I can absolutely confirm older OSes are being used for very crucial stuff in an ironic mix of risk and safety that is bizarre.

Hint: Big grey-blue boats with numbers and famous names on the side.

Supply chain attacks are what scare me.

As a former OS security pro, this is the right answer. Not because of the exploit itself, but because young (unmentored) coders readily trust some really bad patterns of pulling in random junk from the web and running it. THIS is how the LPE becomes essentially an RCE-level problem.

Canadian companies should support local labour

I suspect Telus is barely a Canadian company.

I’m both wary and weary. I’d be watching wearily AND warily, because 2026 is like that and we stare from our holes with tired droopy eyes that jump wide open at the slightest hint of danger.

We’re gonna need some vacations after all this.

OEM’s

Or just OEMs, even.

You see hot that’s tangential to what you’re replying to?

Ai is evil

LOCAL AI is not all evil

Computers are expensive

Your point is completely valid, but in another discussion.

I’m totally okay with them receiving money from bad companies. It’s like vandals ordered to pick up highway trash - yo momma - as punishment.

Receiving Merge Requests from sloppers, though? That’s not cool.

No headphone jack? Send it back.

despite an ask included

This is how I know the article wasn’t written by a journalist.

I shudder to imagine what they’d think of a car with a clutch and a left-toe switch for the high-beams.

You’ve got suppy-chain attacks and boutique complexity in three easy steps. Squeeze it into a flatpak or crutch on containers to frustrate validation and it’s the perfect footgun from a security standpoint.
