    That whoosh about 8 hours ago was air rushing from one ear to the other via the shortest available route… in case you were still trying to work it out.

    you should probably also check out beaker browser then, it's also trying to blur the line. personally i don't know if there is an actual benefit. most people seem content not producing things in fields they're not interested in. we'll never be able to get everyone on board with making websites no matter how simple the interface, just like we'll never be able to get everyone on board with gardening or carpentry. if you want to do it, you will learn. if you don't the learning curve is not the problem.

    But maybe it will hallucinate ads for non-existent products, like Dr. Zhivago's Peanut Butter Enema Cannon, which could be fun.

    "Emails" It's a messaging system where you pay like $.25/message, you have to be manually approved by the prison to contact the inmate and all messages are saved and screened for things like PII and criminal activity. You can be permanently suspended if either person breaks the rules (I think the inmate can be put in the box and lose gain-time also), the screening process often just rejects things without explanation, and it may take 24-48 hours to be delivered It's better than the $.15/minute phone calls, but it isn't exactly a Gmail account. It's basically another service provider that DOC has given their blessing so that they can fleece the families of inmates. It's cheap, breaks all the time and costs a ridiculous amount. It is completely unsurprising that this happened.

    Under the regulations, which are set to take effect on Oct. 10, platforms will have to label political ads, disclosing who paid for them, and what campaign, referendum or legislative process they’re connected to Oh yeah they sound really unworkable, who could possibly expect meta to take this very basic information from their advertisers and then display it in a small text box. Of course not seeing the ads is even better so I don't think anyone will complain.

    This is where the magic of near meaningless corpo-babble comes in. The layoffs are part of a plan to aspirationally acheive the goal of $10b revenue by EoY 2025. What they are actually doing is a significant restructuring of the company, refocusing by outside hiring some amount of new people to lead or be a part of departments or positions that haven't existed before, or are being refocused to other priorities... ... But this process also involves laying off 500 of the 'least productive' or 'least mission critical' employees. So, technically, they can, and are, arguing that their new organizational paradigm will be so succesful that it actually will result in increased revenue, not just lower expenses. Generally corpos call this something like 'right-sizing' or 'refocusing' or something like that. ... But of course... anyone with any actual experience with working at a place that does this... will tell you roughly this is what happens: Turns out all those 'grunts' you let go of, well they actually do a lot more work in a bunch of weird, esoteric, bandaid solutions to keep everything going, than upper management was aware of... because middle management doesn't acknowledge or often even understand that that work was being done, because they are generally self-aggrandizing narcissist petty tyrants who spend more time in meetings fluffing themselves up than actually doing any useful management. Then, also, you are now bringing on new, outside people who look great on paper, to lead new or modified apartments... but they of course also do not have any institutional knowledge, as they are new. So now, you have a whole bunch of undocumented work that was being done, processes which were being followed... which is no longer being done, which is not documented.... and the new guys, even if they have the best intentions, now have to spend a quarter or two or three figuring out just exactly how much pre-existing middle management has been bullshitting about, figuring out just how much things do not actually function as they ssid it did... So now your efficiency improving restructuring is actually a chaotic mess. ... Now, this 'right sizing' is not always apocalyptically extremely bad, but it is also essentially never totally free from hiccups... and it increases stress, workload, and tensions between basically everyone at the company, to some extent. Here's Forbes explanation of this phenomenon, if you prefer an explanation of right sizing in corpospeak: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/rightsizing/
