Ex-Twitter Trust & Safety and some other stuff. Was into the free speech thing before it was cool.

@spqr_sulla No one gets Deliveranced anyway, it's never been more than a Hollywood writer's idea of what happens if you set foot into remote Middle America

@AzizBuilds It actually gets way worse if you click on the "consulter" rubric. Switches to a weird early 90s UI and it's never explained why the layout is completely different, even though some of the information overlaps with the regular website.

@woke8yearold We've heard of Chinese as the next big thing for the last 20 years, seems like it's always around the corner but somehow never materializes.

It's a situationally helpful language if you work with SEA region and can master it better than they speak English. Not a lingua franca.

@uncledoomer This is when many realized everything was fake. Sounds crazy now but people used to trust the institutions, especially anything sounding like "public health experts".

@romanhelmetguy There's something sad about these gatekeeping attempts in the 21st century, as if we'd rely on them.

This could have only worked during the days of information scarcity, and fortunately back in these days there was (typically) a higher caliber of translators and experts at work

@ArtemisConsort I put something like that in my will so it's documented it cannot be my wish.

I do not want the local equivalent of these Community Relations Service creeps to come and manipulate my family into making statements I would never agree to in a million years.

@animegfz Please do not leak my trade secrets

@SomethingOnSnow @IliesBondon In my experience with multi nationals with distributed roles, none of the US-based employees who seriously contemplate a move to Europe end up transferring. The maths don't work out at all, even with all the 'free healthcare' in the world.

Family reasons was the only exception

@RevivedThoughts "Visiting" no

"Having been" yes. Some countries even count it as a day of residency, if it's good enough for the taxman it's good enough for me

@Peter_Nimitz The thaw is the vibe shift

Our civilization’s information environments are still horribly broken.

Reddit is one of the worst offenders.

[Mats @Mat_IRL]

@owenbroadcast In our assessment this is already the case

[Mats @Mat_IRL]

The idea that BS jobs (real or perceived) will be the first to go due to AI is utter nonsense.

You categorically cannot automate a job that primarily exists for performative reasons.

Someone who wishes to AI-proof their career would do well to find such a job, actually.

@dnlklr @ettingermentum This kind of denial extended to all other grievances made against woke v.1 and made course correction impossible.

In tech, entertaining allegations of political bias was like talking to a wall because of knee-jerk, self-righteous "we're not biased we're just decent" reasoning.

@Bitwarden Thanks

- Single button dropdown for copy username and pw -> by far the biggest usability issue

Also:
- Lost a quick access to edit button
- Account switching made tedious and harder to locate
- App loads in the system tray when the regular taskbar was fine

[Mats @Mat_IRL]

@bitwarden why did you guys commit UI suicide on desktop?

Every single operation requires more clicks than before

@husafell_stone France banned home schooling, is falling in PISA rankings, is increasingly cracking down on private education, is just getting started with DEI mandates.

What benefit would be achieved by sending your kid to essentially a lower income provincial version of a 2010s blue state?

[Mats @Mat_IRL]

@OVTweetmarck Somehow this physiognomy still exists within TradCath French circles
