The memo, written to employees at WordPress.com parent company Automattic, which bought Tumblr from Verizon’s media arm in 2019, is titled or subtitled “You win or you learn.”
The posted memo states that a majority of the 139 employees working on product and marketing at Tumblr (in a team apparently named “Bumblr”) will “switch to other divisions.”
After quotes and anecdotes about love, loss, mountain climbing, and learning on the journey, the memo notes that nobody will be let go and that team members can make a ranked list of their top three preferred assignments elsewhere inside Automattic.
The phenomenon of microblogging, or “Tumblelogs,” low-commitment personal blogs that contained snippets of text, images, audio, or other ephemera, were shaped into a product that launched in early 2007.
CEO Matt Mullenweg at the time called Tumblr “one of the web’s most iconic brands,” and said he intended to maintain the adult content ban and hoped the site would complement Automattic’s other products, like WooCommerce, Jetpack, Longreads, and others.
Edward Snowden’s leak of highly classified documents in 2013 spurred government surveillance higher-ups to create an “IC on the Record” tumblog, a very odd fit that somehow continues to this day.

Or if you just actually want to do sex work. It’s like camming. It can be a hobby where you pick up a couple bucks here and there. If you want it to be a job it’s going to be more like trying to make it as a musician or actor.
In general if you’re more or less normal you aren’t going to make any real money as a sex worker. Either you aren’t famous or attractive enough or you aren’t willing to do what it’ll take to make better money or you won’t settle for the little you’ll get or be willing to deal with people who have odd fetishes, possibly of your body type.
One massive point that most people are completely blind to is that with energy considerations we are aggressively pursuing two very different goals that in many regards are directly at odds with one another.
The first goal is electrification, which can largely be accomplished by increasing renewables, investing in battery technology, etc. But in the US, we have also been accommodating the desire for electrification by massively increasing natural gas capacity.
The second goal is decarbonization. This requires us to also nix natural gas from the equation at some point. In addition to the problems others have already mentioned (like the fact that renewables aside from hydro are not viable base load power options right now), there is a significant chunk of our energy infrastructure that simply cannot be satisfied in any regard purely with renewables. Like the huge number of industrial processes that need process heat to achieve their end product.
So the best solution is energy portfolio diversity. We can steadily continue to phase out heavy polluters for electrification, but if we want to truly decarbonize, industry demands a solution that can still produce high heat without emissions. Nuclear is a woefully under-exploited technology in that regard, but it is potentially a great solution.

Service workers put up with shit 10x worse than this every day. Odds are, he was probably just having an off-moment or you distracted him while he was doing a different task (neither of which are your fault). Doesn’t sound like he was judging you, or like you should he judging him for his reaction
You don’t need to get someone elses curation, just do a search for your interests. It isn’t difficult. How odd that people don’t know how to look for stuff. I guess algorithms atrophied their ability to think for themselves…
That’s the odd part. I run Pop!_OS on a ThinkPad with a 4K touch screen at 175% scaling and it looks beautiful. The scaling on the DE is superb. I don’t understand why they don’t offer a HiDPI option on their laptops.
Truth doesn’t matter to Musk, so we should care about the truth when talking about him. He lies, promotes white suprmacist rheotric and conspiracies. The whole Twitter buy thing seems so odd. What a dipshit.
The only other male bridge officer I can remember off hand is Spock, right? What a massive drift. “Can’t get used to it so therefore WOMEN EVERYWHERE”...
Eating meat will be the big one. You look at history and meat was a rare treat, now it’s the main part of almost every meal.
People will watch media where the characters grab a hotdog on the street corner and it will seem both barbaric and decadent.
There’s probably something we are doing with children too that will seem odd. It takes a village to raise them after all and we isolate them with two parents that also have to work full time jobs. Can’t be good for either.
Looking back at that, I think Roddenberry was lampshading the expected social discomfort expected in the audience when those words were put in Pike’s mouth. Regrettably, the rest audience reportedly still wasn’t willing to accept Number One.
It’s odd though given the prominent women characters in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea which was very popular a few years before.
No you’re fine. The other two people just decided to pretend you didn’t see the meme for some reason.
Kinda odd, really. But not a Lemmy bug or anything.
Although that is true, they might not be as familiar with the concept of online multiplayer games, which rose in popularity much later. The odds of someone’s parents having played, for example, Quake or Unreal Tournament in their childhoods are considerably lower.
By mobile app integration, do you mean a connection between your mobile phone and your computer? KDE Connect is pretty good from my experience. It has more features than the Windows alternative at least (and I think there’s even a Windows version oddly enough).
If you mean running a mobile app in the system, I have no experience with that.
Tankies are anything but leftists. They’re authoritarian shitheads that have more in common with the far right. Everything they stand for is at odds with actual leftist beliefs and principles.

lol sure if you don’t mind an aircraft carrier and mini oven on your legs. Trust me I used to use one of those 200W laptops and honestly I didn’t even need a blanket in the winter because they run SO hot. not to mention odds are it will last a lot longer not running at those insane temps (which literally approach the max safe operating temp of the CPU on some laptops)
-You mean according to the law, I’m right, since it isn’t law that you’re required to work 40 hours, by definition of salaried exempt
-Yes, filling in key responsibilities is not a perfect science of what that means, which is is why the FLSA and it’s enforcing agency the DoL go out of their way to develop logical “tests” on what kind of work should qualify for salaried exempt, a small percentage of which you list (for some odd reason)
What’s wrong with checking off a list? Anything is checking off a list. That’s not a counter-argument. You’re just stating what you wish happens, but just stating assertions doesn’t make them true. Employers will get whatever the market will bear in terms of labor negotiations. If that means having to put up with “double-dipping”, witches, and bears oh my, idc.
Employees that meet the definition of salaried work and thus have freedom over their time earned from efficiency shouldn’t have a problem handling their duties. If they choose to work more for additional pay from someone else at the risk of burnout and expense of their leisure time, so be it. It’s not a marriage to an ultra-jealous controlling douchebag, even if you want it to be and redefine anything but complete submission as a “breach of trust”.
You are just being deliberately obtuse with hypotheticals. People should be allowed to work two jobs, if they are efficient and wish to sacrifice some of what should be their own time, provided they can actually handle it. Yes, the wins in efficiency by not forcing people to pretend to be productive for 40 hours are there. Anyone with a tenth of a brain that’s actually worked in a corporate environment will attest to that intuitively. That doesn’t mean in actuality, everyone will be able to work two jobs. Not everyone will have the same available energy left over, nor will choose to spend it that way. If someone wants to exert themselves further, let them. It’ll be up to them to manage the possibility of burnout, decide how temporary the situation will be, et cetera. Making another 100% (ballpark) of your salary is not a bad incentive in the short term at least, though companies won’t be handing out 100% salary bonuses for efficiency nor performance anytime soon. We all know how little a dollar goes these days, and how wages haven’t kept up with inflation for generations. This is one of the results of that.
-“Incoherent ramblings” you sound like a bad small-time manager that blames younger generations for their ineptitude as one. Seethe and keep getting left behind, all that grandstanding is only gonna get you brownie points with your fellow boomers, but it won’t actually help you navigate a changing labor market.
