I've been feeling it for a while, but every time we've not all actually died in a fire, I keep thinking I must have been mistaken.

@Natasha_Jay
But they've been on policy blockers like forever.

@AlSweigart
That was true before AI. The irritation of being asked to comment on the consultant's report that was verbatim the draft I'd asked them for input on was palpable, and embarrassing for the grammatical and spelling errors that I'd not noticed when I wrote it.

It was ever thus. The company only believes you when they pay someone else to tell them, and don't need to understand it, or even read what you wrote.

@cmconseils
I am so FEELING this.

@mcc
Sibling in suffering. I bought a bunch recently because support local bookshop, and I figure I should get back to books I own rather than licence.

It is hard. I've read more eBook words in the meanwhile though I've started more paper ones

@bagder
I honestly don't think I'll live that long.

@evacide
I think you need to retain a child-like sense of wonder to do that, the little bit of joy of something new.

@mcc
The purple button. If I get the timing precisely right, maybe hitting them both at the same time will make the button purple?

@jwz
Well, obviously. What else would it stand for?

I prefer

Now jobless workers can't buy food, so turn to making handcrafted guillotines to make ends meet.

@NudelnAlDente
At this point I'd almost be for "Okay, so where can you recommend?" and if that wasn't an option just get a glass of water.

@EUCommission
The only thing age verification will do is reduce privacy and identify victims as targets for those who want to exploit them.

@lcamtuf
At least you'd have some carbon handy.

@cwebber
But junior engineers are made of meat, and meat might join a union, or have an independent thought, or get uppity about being owned.

@0xabad1dea
You are so not clubbing this seal.

@cstross
There needs to be a mechanical desk version.

The required velocity for second hand movement for a wall version could be excessive.

@mergesort
Which American Pope are they asking, exactly?

I'd assume they'd not get much of a a response from Francis, but you never know.

@emilymbender
So much this. Thank you.
