"As part of integration planning, and following an organizational needs assessment, we identified go-forward roles that will be required within the combined company."

Totally devoid of any humanity. Corporate jargon freaks me out. It shouldn't, but it really gets to me.

You may be able to run a torrent client on the NAS?

On reddit and now lemmy, I can engage with other people in both appreciation and discussion on and about things I don't really get to otherwise, at a depth I don't really get to otherwise.

Nicely worded. The microblog format never "clicked" for me the same way these threaded discussions do. Now I have a way to say why - thanks!

I think if I was born in a different decade I would have enjoyed Usenet or mailing lists.

I don't know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I'd rather just see replies to the post from actual people.

Ah yeah this hits a nerve for me: the idea that some individuals are the arbiters of medical science and knowledge. Answers to questions like "why should I brush my teeth" is something to be found in a textbook, hopefully at a public library, not to be dispensed out by some individual with fat fees.

I think IRC is a bit healthier because it is a direct interaction and there is no upvotes or any fake internet points involved.

Totally see what you mean. The points and "likes" can be tiring. In a Lemmy client I made, I don't even bother rendering the votes. This helps. But I havent implemented threaded replies (yet?).

If there was a way to interact with Lemmy more like a mailing list I'd be using that instead.

“Reproduction of the Disney logo is clear trademark infringement. I would imagine that is why the AI might be jumbling the logo,” Andrew White, partner at IP law firm Mathys & Squire, tells The Financial Times.

Doesn't seem clear to me.

I'm allowed to sketch out the Disney logo by hand, right? But I'm not allowed to place their trademark on any of my own products or services.

Microsoft's tool reproduces the Disney logo. Searching "Disney logo" in Google Images also reproduces the Disney logo. I can print the logo from my shitty black and white printer to my heart's content, right?

From Bing's terms of use, section 7:

Think about how and why you joined in the first place, and see if that is being fulfilled. For example, I joined because I wanted to be able to practice communicating with people in writing and to share some of my stories. Interacting on here still gives me that feeling. It's not the same sense of community I get from the programming language community in my city. But there's a little bit of something here that I can't seem to find elsewhere yet.

You mentioned "isolating addiction". If you have that feeling it's time to take a break.

I think the author themselves needs to hear it!
