325/week ?? You live in a big city? We spend that for a family of 5 but we don’t buy a lot of snacks….

josephd79··on 80% of bosses say they regret earlier return-to-office plans

You can't "manage" people who work remotely the same way you manage people in the office. That's the issue.

Also, you shouldn't have to watch newer employees like a hawk if you've given them clear tasks / projects and expectations. No need to micromanage people.

josephd79··on The Future of the Vim Project

Now that I think about it, I should probably do the same. I use Bitwarden and they allow you to add an 'emergency contact' that is granted access after X amount of days.

josephd79··on Threads users down by more than a half

My 3 kids are teenagers. They don't use WhatsApp. They use iMessage or group chats on Instagram. No one I know uses WhatsApp, well they've never asked me for a WhatsApp username.

So if I post a picture online of a product it means i endorse it? wtf, am I reading that right?

I get that there should be some disclosures, not saying that people shouldn't have to do that upfront.

josephd79··on An Indiana police department has been using Clearview AI for a year

Evansville, Indiana isn't rural. It's a city of 100,000 people. If you take the entire county it's closer to 200k. Regardless, using this software to spy on people, illegally identify people etc is just F'd up.

You ever look at the app store? How about the app store for Windows phone?

josephd79··on Threads, an Instagram app

My guess is demographics, younger people use Instagram more than Facebook. Facebook has a lot of negatives attached to its name as well.

Makes sense, targeting the younger crowd. They're on 'Insta' not Facebook.

josephd79··on Threads profile can only be deleted by deleting Instagram account, Meta says

Similar to beacon advertising but instead of bluetooth it'll use your face.

"Welcome back Jim!"

> Every day is mental pain as I get older and younger folks are above me.

Wait until you feel the pain of dealing with behavior / emotional problems of people.

josephd79··on Mid-1990s Sega document leak shows how it lost the second console war to Sony

If they haven’t figured that out by now, they never will.

josephd79··on We raised a bunch of money

I agree, here comes the feature creep. Decisions are made on "What do I have to do to keep my investors happy" not what's best for the product.

josephd79··on Together’s $20M seed funding to build open-source AI and cloud platform
