If you could book your doctor’s appointment via Twitter, but couldn’t cancel, I’d sure as hell be angry about it.

Any response to the comments pointing out this is illegal in CA? Isn’t the Baremetrics office in SF?

Are you really saying that it's harder to be a techie than LGBT in San Francisco?

> The complaint also alleges that Facebook sought to channel jobs to temporary visa holders at the expense of U.S. workers by failing to advertise those vacancies on its careers website, requiring applicants to apply by physical mail only, and refusing to consider any U.S. workers who applied for those positions. In contrast, Facebook’s usual hiring process relies on recruitment methods designed to encourage applications by advertising positions on its careers website, accepting electronic applications, and not pre-selecting candidates to be hired based on a candidate’s immigration status, according to the lawsuit. > > In its investigation, the department determined that Facebook’s ineffective recruitment methods dissuaded U.S. workers from applying to its PERM positions. The department concluded that, during the relevant period, Facebook received zero or one U.S. worker applicants for 99.7 percent of its PERM positions, while comparable positions at Facebook that were advertised on its careers website during a similar time period typically attracted 100 or more applicants each. These U.S. workers were denied an opportunity to be considered for the jobs Facebook sought to channel to temporary visa holders, according to the lawsuit.

Facebook was not actively working to remove those un-equal terms. They set up a separate, physical-mail only pipeline for these candidates, and denied any US Citizens who applied using the obscure pipeline.

This could be huge for the ecosystem. For example, there are ways to use third-party iMessage clients (e.g. through Matrix) that require you to keep a server running on your local macOS machine signed in to your AppleID - this could let developers create hosted versions of those services

"Employee slacking" is not illegal, but wage theft is.

Ah missed that, thanks

I've been following Purism for a month or so, and I love the idea of the Librem 5, but is the phone really going to be worth $2,000?

I actually noticed this the other day. I set a 10 minute time limit on Instagram, and while I'll get the "5 minutes left" reminder, it won't kick me out of the app the way it does for other apps. Running iOS 14.2.

You get the experience you curate for self. If the people you followed were toxic, it’s not Twitter’s fault you didn’t unfollow them!

We had 70 engineers at in a Slack channel work trying to figure out the issue before someone found a Twitter thread about it

Did you read the article? The Times now employs more people than it ever has and is doing better financially than ever.

If you read the actual lines, he said he's moving away from software and into the arts

Contact tracing should not be the the responsibility of the individual, it should be the responsibility of the government (with cooperation of the individual of course). This is how Asian countries have succeeded at it. The US isn't even trying yet - I still don't think I can even get a rapid test where I live.
