I told myself it wasn’t as much of a shit ending to my first time as Survey Security Consultant While Not Pretending to be a Human and/or Faking the Existence of a Human Supervisor as it could have been.

For a moment or two the old man didn't reply. He was staring at the instruments with the air of one who is trying to convert Fahrenheit to centigrade in his head while his house is burning down.

I liked humans, I liked watching them on the entertainment feed, where they couldn’t interact with me. Where it was safe.
I’d been in armor since we arrived, and I hadn’t unsealed the helmet when I was around them.
The popular understanding of enshittification gets things precisely backwards. It's not that digital platform startups set out to make valuable services for consumers, but end up making changes that tilt the balance toward exploitation. Rather, exploitation was the destination from the very start, and user satisfaction was a means of scaling up the pool of exploitable users. Enshittification is planned, not inevitable.
I hate it when ART is right.

Got my performance review today.
Positive feedback: literally every member of my team says I'm the best manager they have ever had. I solved multiple long-standing problems the team has been dealing with for years. Team members feel safe to share their struggles, everyone feels empowered, everyone receives valuable feedback.
Negative feedback: I am not enthusiastic enough about AI.
Overall ranking: 3/5.

Anyone hiring for a fully remote team lead?

OK, so to all of the #MARCHintosh and #Macintosh retro folks out there, I need some help.

I unplugged what I believe it the main ribbon that powers the logic board of this Power Macintosh G4 "Sawtooth." After plugging it back in and attempting to turn it on, I noticed that the fan ATTEMPTS to spin, but then stops. Does that mean that my PSU has an issue and needs to be replaced?

Any help is appreciated, as well as boosts on this.

As a resident, you will receive many official-looking envelopes and postcards, which will fall into two categories:

1. Urgent — requires immediate action
2. Not urgent — requires no action

They are almost indistinguishable.
