Yeah I had to double taking reading that

Damn, I'm a user and sad about this. Whats alternative?
saos··on Uber raises in-office requirement to 3 days, claws back remote workers
2-3 days is reasonable tbh. I've personally enjoyed the connection to my colleagues. I can't get that WFH 100%
saos··on High‑dose Vitamin D reduces disease activity in early multiple sclerosis onset
I’ve been toying with idea of upping vitamin D Iu. Currently its 1000 and that was what was prescribed to me a while back.
saos··on The Frontend Treadmill

saos··on A layoff fundamentally changed how I perceive work
Op missed a sign..."Sudden C-Suite departure". Just be sure a lay-off is near!
saos··on No Bitcoin ETFs at Vanguard (2024)

saos··on UK's hardware talent is being wasted
The U.K is not doing anything innovative that creates jobs and wealth. Instead the U.K. focuses mostly on housing wealth and building a property empire. This is evident with a govt that’s hell bent on stoking demand…after so many years they’ve only just stopped “right to buy”!!

If we want higher salaries then the uk needs to start creating meaningful and impactful products that other countries want…

Good. China bans almost anything and everything. Why should we feed data to them freely.
saos··on Meta Is Planning to Cut 5% of Lowest Performers, Memo Shows
> “I’ve decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster,” Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in the memo. “We typically manage out people who aren’t meeting expectations over the course of a year, but now we’re going to do more extensive performance-based cuts during this cycle.”

I can't imagine working for someone that sends out a memo like that. But, I say that as someone that’s never worked at Mega cap. Maybe my view changes if I was working for Meta. Dunno.

or maybe thats the point of the memo? Soft lay-off?

That’s my fustration with Telegram. When it comes to ui/ux is beats WhatsApp day and night. But the encryption by default is so so disappointing
saos··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate

saos··on Telegram Stars: Pay for Digital Goods and More

saos··on PayPal to lay off 9% of global workforce
> While I have been encouraged by the innovation our team is delivering, we must execute faster and ensure we are focused on solving our customers’ most critical needs and problems.

The "Our Customers" rhetoric is actually boring now. Just say "large shareholders".
