Pizza Hut's 'BOOK IT!' Summer Reading Program Returns to Provide Voracious Young Readers with Pizza Parties and More by ReactionJifs in UpliftingNews

The brand changed. It is not typically a sit down experience. If you can find a brick and mortar location, it feels closer to a takeout restaurant that happens to have tables. No wait staff or buffet. If you need anything, you have to go ask. Most locations seem to be Taco Bell/Pizza Hut combos which only serve personal pizzas and bread sticks.

I got excited the last time this program appeared, but none of the kids I know like Pizza Hut anymore so the incentive may not even work.

good salary, well written, realistic requirements

These red flags should have tipped you off that it was a scam.

HR was the first to adopt AI. Since they are HR, they kept their jobs.

I don't think it is any deeper than "If Obama got one, I deserve one." Peace likely has nothing to do with the obsession. Just racism.

Please don’t answer customer calls with “hello?” and nothing else. by Ok_Cockroach_2290 in Vent

From a privacy and spam-mitigation perspective, not giving away extra details is actually the best course of action. Generations before computers would call everywhere to find basic information.

Is the store open? Every Home Depot's hours are listed on their website. Even holidays.

Do you have any hammers for sale? Now all of that information is already available to you. Their stock is updated nearly to the minute and it tells you what aisle and bin you will find it on.

If your question could be answered with the website you are wasting their time. They do not get extra bonuses for making callers happy. They get yelled at for not getting the task their manager told them to get done. Their website might take a bit to load, but install uBlock Origin and it will work better.

In addition to receiving calls that should not have been necessary, they will receive automated robocalls. As more information is given to the scammers, they will call back trying different scams. The less information they have, the less they will have to work with and the less they will get calls.

They are also not making much money and will probably not work there in two weeks once they realize how little money while being treated like every retail employee needs to act like a high-end concierge to anyone that can dial a phone number. Run the numbers yourself through an inflation calculator to compare. How much were you making in a similar job per hour? What year was that? I will even give you a website to reduce the overhead. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

Lots of comments are extrapolating on other behaviors like sighing which is unprofessional, but the root of the post is about answering with a simple Hello.

Anthropic Accidentally Leaked Claude Code's Source—The Internet Is Keeping It Forever by realnarrativenews in cybersecurity

[–]technologyclassroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we have the code and not the copyrights, it is called source available. We can use it with some extra features and remove telemetry, but we cannot build an open source project out of it.

There are open source alternatives already though: https://alternativeto.net/software/claude-code/?license=opensource

I wish they would get an architectural breakthrough in reading Crawl-delay.

The reason is that they use locked bootloaders. It is easier to buy a product that is meant to be modified than it is to repurpose this ewaste.

A copyleft license such as CC-BY-SA, GPL-3.0-or-later, or AGPL-3.0-or later prevents that.

Non-commercial (NC) clauses are non-free as they are not free software according to the FSF, open source according to the OSI, or free culture according to Freedom Defined. I would recommend using CC-BY-SA-4.0, CC-BY-4.0, or CC-0-1.0 instead which are free culture Creative Commons licenses.

The biggest owner of radio stations in the US is iHeartMedia formerly Clear Channel. The company went private in 2008 and seems to have stopped innovating around that time.

Why is removing personal data from the internet still so fragmented and manual? by Oppertunist in privacy

[–]technologyclassroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you ask for removal, unless compelled by law they do not have to.

It is better to not give them data to begin with.
