I got lucky but it seems like I’m tethered to my house for life. Everything’s so expensive

Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App

I think the app already encourages you to pay via the site instead of in-app which a few other apps do as well but maybe not as high profile as Patreon. Apple is probably going to delist the app altogether which is fine because it sucks anyway.

Just took the plunge and am wondering what tips/tricks do you have for keeping produce on hand without it spoiling before you can get to eating it?

Jump

FloridaBoi [he/him] @hexbear.net 4w ago

Cooking veggies preserves them and some can be frozen depending on the purpose. If you have meal plans for them make sure to get them within the correct freshness timeframe. Otherwise I think @dessa has good tips

Workers Say AI Is Useless, While Oblivious Bosses Insist It's a Productivity Miracle

From a leadership perspective they will absolutely see that AIs can somewhat competently write emails and extrapolate that it can do so much more resulting in workers getting shafted with salaries and workloads.

That’s also true.

I was trying to remember how my boss said it in a meeting when he was salivating at the potential savings. It was a 2-for-1 deal where at least one technical expert role got eliminated. So in his mind the remaining employee supervises (or is supervised by) an AI that performs what they call the “non-value add” work like data aggregation, formatting, etc so that the person can focus on “analysis”.

Of course this is just their intention and flies in the face of reality once you begin losing institutional knowledge from layoffs and natural attrition and the technical debt starts accumulating so you need people to clean it up. In my experience they’ve preferred to outsource some of this shit work because it looks good to have lower payroll expense even if your operating expenses increase from paying contractors and consultants.

I still think that ultimately at the aggregate level there is a deskilling because the leftover people are no longer required to be SMEs per their department function and rather become AI supervisors with enough knowledge to troubleshoot problems. Like in finance you wouldn’t need CPAs to do accounting, you just need some staff accountants who themselves are being squeezed.
