That’s fair.

I did also try directly searching for accounts from loops, i.e. @eickertv@loops.video and Rudygardea@loops.video, and neither of those popped up either.

Seems a bit early to me.

I tried searching for @loops.video users on three separate mastodon instances and the only ones that pop up are the “official” accounts (@dansup@loops.video and @loops.video@loops.video).

Anyone else have better luck federating with loops?

It must be a rite of passage for middle managers to say “if you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean.”

That face is like, “Yo wtf, you told me there was going to be a party.”

Yes

Seems plausible. It’s been a while. I remember the mud pit trauma better than the ending.

I’ve never felt awkward about quitting, but I have given notice depending on how fucked over the colleagues I cared about would be.

If I didn’t have any, I was out effective immediately.

If I did, I told my colleagues first and used a boiler plate to give the company a two week deadline to replace me.

Not that that changes the feeling, but if you already know how it ends…

At about 5 p.m. on 7 October, a train was stopped at Otaru Station, when a passenger spotted the driver reading a book and reported it to the company.

This was a “local” train, meaning a train that stops at all stations along a line, as opposed to an “express” train, which only stops at major stations. Because of this system, sometimes local trains will stop for extended periods of time at lesser-used stations while express trains get the right of way to zoom through. In this case, the train was scheduled to wait at Otaru Station for eight minutes before setting off again, so the driver decided to kill some time with a book.

Not only that, but the book he brought in to read was about railways. The driver admitted that he had done so before in the past too, and that he takes the opportunity to relax for a moment when he has the time. No incidents or delays occurred as a result, but JR Hokkaido apologized for the concern it caused among passengers.

Readers of the news online were largely defending the driver in their comments and condemning the person who tipped off JR Hokkaido about the reading. However, there were a few who felt what the driver did was inappropriate for a workplace.

What an absolute, unnecessary dickhead.

Last I heard from Automattic, they were putting the Fediverse conversion on indefinite hiatus.

Is your news saying they’re starting up again ?

The problem with that, of course, is that one MIT study found that many enterprise organizations have so far seen zero return from their AI efforts.

Buyers are also changing, McKinsey believes. It says purchasing decisions are shifting from the IT department to line-of-business units. These leaders are increasingly making budget trade-offs between head count investment and AI deployment, and expect vendors to engage them on value and outcomes, not just features.

That could be a tricky sell, when trials of AI tools such as Microsoft’s Copilot by a UK government department reveal no discernible boost in productivity. Still, the AI firms have to recoup all those billions they’ve already invested somehow, don’t they?

They don’t. They don’t have to recoup those billions.

They can go bankrupt like businesses that create no value are supposed to.

Serial killer should really be a spectrum.

The dot as it is just means “serial killer with bad aim”.
