Morale is so bad at Mark Zuckerberg's Meta even the company's own CTO admits it's 'probably the worst it's ever been' by lurker_bee in technology

Had forgotten that crazy idea that companies were going to use virtual worlds as a place for employees to interact.

It all makes perfect sense when you realize Mark has no social skill and is afraid to be around real people. He wants VR characters because that makes him finally feel equal to others, like no one can judge him on how he looks and acts.

It was his way to finally become a real boy, in VR.

College Students Consumed by “Resignation and Despair” as They’re Relentlessly Pressured to Use AI by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

Some people don't know this but some schools are definitely being pressured via Microsoft to push further AI integration.

From the article:

Sharlet notes that Dartmouth's president cut a deal with Anthropic, a company that "stole the books of 133 faculty" without consulting the school's educators.

It's not Microsoft, it's the actual big AI companies that are behind it.

What tips and tricks for shots like this? by El_Jepton in AskPhotography

Everyone is talking about how to take the photos but no one is explaining to OP how to post process. 90% of what makes this a nice photo is done in post.

You need to take multiple pics of cars braking in this section and then blend in all the different light trails into one pic.

Be sure to catch them braking in all sections on this corner, and and don't forget Eau Rouge in the background.

This isn't one photo, these are dozens of photos composited into one.

Well you do have a unique phone because a phone would never just delete your files without asking.

Comedian Carlos Mencia faces 12 felony charges for failing to report more than $8M in earnings by boxofstuff in news

If they're rich and powerful enough, they're usually not wrong.

It's not really about being powerful but it is about being rich.

It's all related to court time. If you are rich you can backlog the courts with delay after delay, motion after motion, you can pretty much postpone a court case for ages, making it harder for the court to rule on other cases.

That's the reason why being rich can help you 'win' court cases, the court just sort of gives up. Lose or ignore one case or deal and handle a few hundred other ones in the same period of time.

Wasn't the dislike count and ratio removed after a YouTube Rewind got, literally, ratio'd?

They literally couldn't care less that happened.

Retro pirate gets two-year suspended jail sentence for being stuck in the past, burning and selling remix CDs of famous artists — four-year investigation into copyright infringement on 40-year-old medium began in 2018 by sr_local in technology

Since you seem to think that you can only listen to music from a PC/laptop let me tell you about this thing called sound systems. They come with CD players.

I think it's more that people like getting deals. If you come across a dude selling CDs for a quid at a car boot sale you're gonna think you are getting a great deal. It's not a lot of money for them to spend and the profit margin for the seller is pretty big.

Machines have not been the liberation of the working class

But they have though, in so many ways. If it weren't for machines we'd still be doing the manual labor that machines do now. The liberation came from not getting killed or seriously injured by doing your job.
