🚨BREAKING: The White House has placed a photo of an auto-pen instead of a portrait of former President Biden on the “Presidential Walk of Fame”

This is the most immature and stupid presidential administration in history.

@humanworkplace It's clear the other way around - how many useless colleagues have we had that seem to find jobs quickly and easily but are not use at doing them? Finding jobs and doing them are totally different skillsets

@victor_ruiz sé que lo compartes por la perspectiva tuya de ciberseguridad, pero también es muy interesante la opinión sobre la IA

Hey @soynumx , ¿qué onda con su app? Ya no carga bien, se ha vuelto un fastidio usarla

@thekitze I've stopped doing it because they make you put it under the seat in front of you on most flights. So I've stopped being courteous and now I put everything into a case with wheels.

@IrishEmbMexico Is this a new club? Surely not the first, the McKenna Gaels played about 8-9 years ago. I’m gonna have to find a way to go see them or even join in

@humanworkplace In Mexico, I met a new person about two months ago, said they were Canadian.

I jokingly asked "are you really Canadian or just saying that?" and they admitted to being a gringo 😅

@MisterRee321 @rivkahbrown not on a buy to let mortgage, which are often interest-only payments and need a higher deposit

@powerbottomdad1 The best professionals I've ever worked with have taken a while to find jobs when they've been looking.

The worst people I've ever worked with seem to get job offers easily and quickly.

It's weird but I see the pattern continue.

@diazbriseno @BiometricUpdate Govt agencies have had dozens of data breaches in the last few years, it is worrying that this info could be sold for pennies on the dark web.

IBM launches the latest version of z/OS

AI on the mainframe is the headline grabber for this release, said Steven Dickens, CEO and principal analyst with HyperFRAME Research. “But we are hearing over 200+ use cases already from IBM for Spyre. Which is not surprising. In-Transition AI with small language models makes perfect sense when you are looking at fraud, KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) use cases in financial services where a lot of the mainframe installed base resides.”

@NathanielParish @C5_CDMX @AlcaldiaMHmx I had hoped that with the ongoing improvements to the bosque that this would be solved, I was chased by a large group in that same area during the pandemia. There is occassionally a group near the barranco San Isidro in the 2nd section as well.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for their families and the injured. I renew my call for an immediate ceasefire. Only dialogue and reconciliation can ensure enduring peace!

Microsoft Copilot is, and I say this in the nicest way possible, an absolute shambles. Useless.

@Borre A mi me pasa igual, aunque me gusta preguntar que tan importante sea el asunto. Normalmente no lo son.
