Aussie here. One reason I use PayPal is for subscriptions (streaming services etc) to avoid the headache of updating credit card details in multiple places when I change bank, credit card renews, etc. just change it in PayPal once and every subscription keeps working.

Except that you can …

Cancel auto payments

Edit: I get you. You mean multiple cards within PayPal itself per vendor. Yeah, that seems like similar effort but at least you can see everything in one portal. I have a single card linked with just enough limit to cover subscriptions and the odd internet purchase.

Adobe's Employees Are Just As Upset at the Company As Its Users: Report (petapixel.com)

Adobe’s employees are typically of the same opinion of the company as its users, having internally already expressed concern that AI could kill the jobs of their customers. That continued this week in internal discussions, where exasperated employees implored leadership to not let it be the “evil” company customers think...

Boeing Will Launch Starliner With Helium Leak (www.extremetech.com)

If all goes as planned, Starliner will rendezvous with the International Space Station the following day and return to Earth on June 10. If not,...

Mission Control : “You are clear to launch.”

Astronaut (in comically high pitched voice) : “Um, are you sure the leak is contained?”

Mission Control (stifling giggles): “Oh for sure.”

At that precise moment the door to the astronauts cockpit falls off onto the launch pad.

I can be anywhere and everywhere simultaneously. I’m not tethered to time and space in a way that I would be if I was stuck in a body that’s inevitably gonna die.”

I know this is based on the legal definition of terrorism but I can’t be the only one who thought it sounded odd calling this particular incident a terrorist attack but not the Bondi attack which arguably terrorised more people.

This does not stop companies being successful in IPOs and giving share holders lucrative gains. Take Atlassian as an example of a company seen as successful but is not profitable.

Are We Transitioning From Capitalism to Silicon Serfdom? (jacobin.com)

Are We Transitioning From Capitalism to Silicon Serfdom?::The idea that we are entering an era of techno-feudalism that will be worse than capitalism is chilling and controversial. We asked former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis to elucidate this idea, explain how we got here, and map out some alternatives.

I presume his arms are detachable and interchangeable. He is currently sporting his “business meeting” arms, will switch to his “swole bro” arms when he goes to the gym, and then has a set of shorter arms that he couples with trousers with very deep pockets when he is reviewing the salaries of the lower paid Amazon employees.

Lots of interesting articles and research talking about the problem of many CEOs exhibiting psychopathic traits but it being accepted. For example.

fortune.com/…/corporate-psychopaths-business-lead…

“Our culture also glorifies and rewards successful leaders who may lie somewhere on the spectrum of psychopathy or who, if not actually psychopathic, nevertheless display traits that psychopathic individuals frequently have. The problem, of course, is that while psychopaths may have a lot of charisma and creativity, they may also lack, as already mentioned, socially important qualities such as empathy and morality.”

Mentioned the Apollo / Reddit saga but did not list Voyager as a client for Lemmy which at least for me has been the closest client in terms of Apollo experience. I know this is Android Police but it did talk about Android and IOS clients in the article.

Avelon was also showing some promise, at least visually, but I keep coming back to Voyager. I found Avelon had a few annoying little bugs like default theme settings not being remembered etc and Voyager whilst not perfect does the job reliably. It would be great to see Christian involved again especially with all the experience he would bring in like working around YouTube video playback etc.
