Facebook lays off 4000 more human beings with lives and families, on the way to 10,000 to bring the total to 21,000 disrupted lives for the year.

The CEO says, "We will become an even greater magnet for the most talented people."

Ahhh crap. Making me learn stuff.

Good time to do it (in the US). The Inflation reduction act will chip in.

Elderly family member reports in covid-positive. Vaccinated. Unfun symptoms but hanging tough.

Take care and caution. Good ventilation and staying 6ft away from breathers still a solid plan.

@sheseala Is anyone arguing all genders are the same? Would certainly simplify pronouns.

False equivalence is strong with that crowd.

@grrlscientist almonds are unfortunately very problematic from a water consumption stance, and the way they're grown in CA.

"Details of the settlement were not immediately available and might never become public. "

I guess $700M indicates cognizance of guilt well enough but I wanted to hear Rupert sing the "I'm very sorry" song.

@holon42 @Alfred Not a lawyer, just seems to me the case is about reputational damage.

Fox may be able to negotiate a lower financial penalty but Dominion's goal is to restore brand damage.

I bet $.50 Fox settles and also rebrands.

@estherschindler miss them all. Creative Computing, Computer Shopper, Byte... All of them
