Also, is it actually unpleasant labor or is it just something *you* don't want to do?
If the people who do it like it, and it's only seen as unpleasant because it doesn't pay well, automation isn't the fix. Compensation is.
"We can automate [unpleasant labor] so that no one has to do it" is only a valid argument if accompanied by a clear and careful plan for how to ensure the people currently doing that labor find new gainful employment.
"You have to let us put products you don't want in your cart automatically, or you can't get the benefits of a subscription" is a bad business model
I don't miss Spotify because the company is gleefully and deliberately evil, but there are certain things I miss about the app.
Today what I'm missing is the ability to set a playlist to shuffle by default, so I can use that for a few playlists but keep the global shuffle turned off.
It's weird but fun (like at least half the weapons in Wilds)

As someone whose full time job it maintaining and enhancing an app written by other people, I can confirm this.
Every time I have to touch a part of the system I haven't worked in before, I have to take a moment to calm myself before I look at the code.
Specifically, any pursuit of revenue that voluntarily sacrifices the safety of trans and queer people or any other marginalized group is unacceptable on its face.
And any attempt at moderation that prioritizes decorum over substance is similarly a nonstarter.
I sincerely hope you are ready and willing to listen sincerely to what Bluesky users want and need, and work hard to prioritize that.
I know Bluesky needs to figure out revenue streams, but it cannot come at the cost of community safety and effective moderation, at which Bluesky today falls short.
"find an exit ramp? I already declared victory, what more could you possibly need?"
The church literally had the audacity to "it's him or us" THEIR OWN GUY
Absolutely!
Like, this is how I answered that post people have been answering today: bsky.app/profile/kald...
It can be really fun and nice to get to travel for work, but it also sucks complete ass to be *required* to travel for work when you *don't* want to
I think if you said that to Jesus he'd say, "Fuck yeah bro, the divine can be found anywhere! The important thing is to find it."
I'm reminded of how, in his 2016 campaign, Trump was once asked how his net worth was calculated, and he essentially told them that it fluctuated based on his mood.
I truly think he always means what he's saying *when he's saying it*, he just doesn't care if he believes differently a minute later.
Studied the teachings of Jesus.
Studied the teachings of The Church.
When I realized they were mutually exclusive, I picked Jesus. I'm still on his team today and it's why I don't go to church any more.

Can you add one so that if someone adds Lyse Hext as their commander it just says "peak."?
That's what I would do (I'm a very specific kind of dork)
The only reasonable response to this is for every single member of Congress, as well as every military servicemember, police officer, and other LEO in DC to immediately go to Trump's current location and arrest him.
"Separate the dump truck of money from the bigot" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, but it's a significantly better idea in this case
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that we affirm the rights of students and teachers to refuse to sign up for, prompt, or otherwise use generative AI in the writing classroom."
College writing teachers have spoken, y'all.
The CCCC resolution affirming students' and teachers' right to refuse generative AI in the writing classroom passed by an overwhelming majority at the #4C26 Annual Business Meeting this past Friday, March 6.

Hope this signals a further death of the "comply in advance" era
One time, on a particularly frustrated job hunt day, I answered a "why do you want this job" style question with: Food and shelter are being held hostage, and I need ransom money.
I didn't get the job, but I DID get a comment on that in my rejection email. 😂
Where do I apply to become the new CEO?
sadly the article says she's still at the company she's just moving to a tech-focused role because she doesn't know how to people (I may be paraphrasing a *bit*)
A little disappointed that she wasn't let go for fundamentally misunderstanding what makes a social media platform good. Not surprised, mind you. Just disappointed.
WAFFLES!
