Yeah well maybe they should come here. Lol not to be too harsh. What kinda questions are there anyway? More importantly, what questions are there that can't be answered by "just go on lemmy brah"?

But expert musicians often experience a "ceiling effect," in which their skill level plateaus after extensive training.

This is actually the beginning of the plot to Sonic Adventure 2. We should be seeing Luigi snowboarding down the streets of San Francisco any day now.

Savor these headlines now. We probably won't see any more like them for a long time.

Some of the companies involved that are mentioned in the article:

  • Service providers (Comcast, Charter, Cox)
  • Entertainment (Disney, AMC, Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery
  • Those connected to advertising (Google, Netflix, Amazon, Meta, Vizio, the NFL)
  • Home security (ADT)

As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that'd mean Streisand effect is coming into play.

Regarding the topic at hand: I don't care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the "free" button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, "Here's how much you paid in taxes, if you're cool with that then please disregard", I will not be satisfied.

I hate to post because I have loved and trusted Wikipedia for years, but the fact that there are folks out there who equally trust what AI tools generate just baffles me.

I'd say stage 4 is being the keystone attendee: if you don't go, the whole thing falls apart. Even if you somehow manage to get out of the meeting, it has to get rescheduled because it "needs" your input. The meeting thus becomes inescapable.

Stage 5 is when everyone else realizes you're in stage 4 and begins to cater to your availability and preferences. Obviously this is mostly theoretical.

Continuing with the analogy, even the honest attempts to fix Mondays are characterized as impractical, idle fantasies.

How about we don't schedule critical meetings to start first thing Monday morning? Even if that's the "only" time everyone can meet? And if it's really the only time everyone has available, doesn't that warrant questioning a bit?

Or what if we just start later on Mondays? And maybe we consider not offsetting it but working later on other days? 39-hour week? 36-hour week?
