Nicely found! Thanks

It doesn’t seem like an unpopular opinion at all

Unpopular opinion: Charities should be morally allowed to compete for top talent on a financial basis.

Yes, but one was in a galaxy far far away

I’ve got a real bone to pick with this joke.

This is actually a pretty good analysis. I love that she clarifies it’s not a research paper, but a “canva infographic.” Spot on.

She doesn’t mention that the MBA professor who authored the infographic also seems to contract with FounderPartners, a VC consulting firm.

So this is really an ad for his side gig; “Pay us lots of money, and we’ll justify your layoffs with sciency mumbo jumbo.🌈😘📈”

I just discovered that this is Codeberg - I’ve seen a lot of projects there and I had no idea that it was an instance of Forgejo

Just googled the paper’s author. Yep, sure enough he seems to contract with “FounderPartners,” which describes itself as, " a team of serial entrepreneurs and M&A advisors."

I am not a coder, nor do I work in or have much knowledge of the industry. But I can tell immediately that this looks like some extra fancy BS. Designing a program to detect the quality and quantity of a person’s code commits sounds like AI mumbo-jumbo from the start. Even if it were technically possible, it would not tell you whether someone is an effective communicator, coordinates with other team members, shares productive ideas, etc.

The headline should have been:

“Consulting Firm Desperately Tries to Justify its Existence.”

Oops, autocorrect is a harsh master. Thnaks!

I wonder if they would prorate? I ended up choosing proton as a better fit for my needs (since I needed VPN anyway, and I am a total beginner). They are also running a deal and I ended up upgrading and getting a prorated discount and a credit on the account. The folks at tuta seem pretty down to earth and interested in building a good name.

If they do end up giving you a refund/credit/upgrade, let us know!

I’m surprised that the article doesn’t mention Misskey. It’s a Federated platform that connects with Mastodon and the like, and has close to a million users. After Mastodon it’s the most active platform in the Fediverse, and owes most of its popularity to Japanese users.

But all they did was market their pretty good lane-assist and automated braking as a magic butler that lets you nap in the driver’s seat.

How could this happen??

It’s not.

Reminds me of the Feng Shui guy on TikTok… “Just fix it!”

Oh-neh

At least your country is down with the clown.

Oh, I thought you meant just repeat the same day that just happened. I did not understand the question.

I could finally ride every ride at Disneyland.
