  • Worse Than Kids In The Kitchen

  • I have two great Danes and this is what it often feels like to cook with them around. Adorable, but my God the chaos...

  • Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension

    Jump

  • The guy was suing for $50K +expenses. That is not even a drop in the bucket for Disney and they fought it. That says plenty about the culture over there.

  • Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October

    Jump

  • Yep, I managed to find a license for 2019 several years aho and have just transferred it to my computers and I've upgraded. No copilot or prompts to upgrade.

    I'm still testdriving libreoffice to try to dump ms entirely but I like having a backup available.

  • What bothers me is that I'm getting all this "upgrade to windows 11" crap from other companies, like my antivirus. I get that eset reason to tell me about possible security risks to my computer, but I'd prefer if they give me options for addressing it that don't involve dealing with a new OS, especially the win 11 dumpster fire.

  • All while the skeletal, crumbling, dusty bones of an econ major pulls business backwards into hell.

    Jump

  • Yeah I do think there is something to the culture of MBA programs. All the information available for current and prospective students at my university was very much of the tone that mbas change the world. The halls of the business school were filled with famous rich people who'd visited the school or gifted money along with plaques about MBA grads and the amazing things they did. It's just full of subtle reminders about how the degree is a gateway to being some big powerful person. I'm sure that makes an impact on the students' attitudes.

  • I have a PhD in research psychology, and worked with researchers in a lot of other disciplines. I have been mansplained about topics in my field (including the topic of my dissertation) by more MBAs than any other field. More often than not they are vastly oversimplifying or just getting things completely wrong. Try telling them that though and it's like talking to a wall.

  • Important to note that the article says it can save to Onedrive or cloud drive of your choice. Its not clear exactly how that works if you want to save to Box, or Dropbox or something else but it looks like the option is there and it seems like you may even be able to turn that off if you want.

    If it's still not your preference, I've seen licenses for office 2019 for sale on the web, which predates a lot of the cloud integration and AI tool nonsense. Between that and libre office there are ways to avoid using this service if you're so inclined.

  • Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

    Jump

  • I'm not getting too excited yet. All class action lawsuits I've heard of end up netting individual members only a few bucks each. Unless the settlement specifically grants authors right to opt out of AI scraping, it's only a small victory. Hopefully settlement details will come out soon.

  • Steven Fulop, the Mayor of Jersey City. He is smarter than the average american politician.

    Jump

  • I briefly rode a motorcycle back in the day and I can say that taking a motorcycle safety course absolutely improved my driving. It helped me become more aware of cyclists and bikers on the road and made me more aware of how my actions impacted how the bike (or car) moved. It was incredibly helpful and I would recommend it to anyone even if you're not interested in riding a motorcycle.

  • Ingredient quest question.

    Jump

  • Same...almost didn't open the post at all b/c I didn't want to know what kind of hellish nightmare was going to be using a jar of bugs.

  • Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display

    Jump

  • GM was talking pretty publicly about doing this a couple years ago and there was a mild dust up over it. They also mentioned enthusiasm over the potential revenue to come from mining and selling driver data (which got them sued) . Last I heard about it was late 2023 or early 2024, so it seems their new data team.has been busy.

    Don kid yourselves though, if GM is doing it, everyone else is or will be.

  • Military Says It Will ‘Continuously’ Monitor Bathrooms to Comply With Anti-Trans Order

    Jump

  • Yeah I know. Coming from military parents, I'm trying to not judge people too much since i know theres amazing people who serve, but I agree there's strong maga bro energy in the military and it sucks.

  • For the first time since COVID, more than half of Fortune 100 companies have mandated workers fully return to work as hybrid options wither

    Jump

  • Yeah. I've been looking in analytics and it's awful. Any remote job on linked in gets over 200 applications ("people who clicked 'Apply'") in the first day. If you see a posting more than a day out it's very likely to have more than 1000 applications (I've seen as much as 4500).

    I emailed a recruiter about a posting recently when the job page on the company site was throwing an error. I told her about the error and asked if the job was real/still available. She said she'd gotten over 500 applications within a few hours of listing it and shut down the posting because she was overwhelmed. I think that's the norm now.

    Jump

  • I'm on the market now and I can confirm the job market is indeed fucked. Especially for anyone location restricted or wanting remote work.

  • Military Says It Will ‘Continuously’ Monitor Bathrooms to Comply With Anti-Trans Order

    Jump

  • Plus, it's not like you can just join the military and quit when you don't like how things are going. Unless things have changed radically, when you enlist you're signing up for 3,6 or even 8 years of service with very little recourse for getting out (without messing up your career and maybe even your life).

    I'm sure for a lot of people working in the military is just a job. It's a luxury to choose jobs based on personal politics and a lot of people can't afford that now.

  • Luigi Mangione prosecutors violating his health privacy rights, defense says

    Jump

  • This is where i see additional problems. Govt or no, Aetna should have been way more diligent in addressing any requests for info, and in providing more than what was explicitly requested they are also committing a HIPAA violation. Any counsel for Aetna should have been well aware of the risk of sending health records out and been very, very specific on what was to be sent and not to avoid a compliance issue.

    If i was on Mangione's legal team I'd be preparing a civil case and HIPAA violation claim against Aetna in addition to seeking removal of the prosecutors involved. (I'm not a lawyer but worked in health insurance for several years managing patient data.)

  • Jeffrey Epstein files: names released so far (Feb 2025)

    Jump

  • The article says that redacted names are alleged victims who were flown on the jet.

  • 'Someone's always watching': Gen Z is spying on each other

    Jump

  • I remember a time when if I wanted to know what my friends were up to I would call their home without even knowing if they were there to pick up. Location sharing is unnecessary at least 95% of the time and I don't get the appeal.

    I know this makes me sound old but I don't care.

  • Full list of Republicans who blocked Epstein files vote

    Jump

  • Yeah, this seems like a prime target for Anonymous. Would be interesting to see big news outlets struggling between chasing a huge story and not wanting to cover something that outs their bosses (since there's probably lots of them on there too).
