    Key words in this sentence? “Have said”.
    “Meta & Microsoft have said they're shedding staff explicitly to free up cash flow to invest in AI”🤥
    Now fast becoming a fashionable excuse for need to cut staff because line went down. 😐
    So sorry for all the people who believed in the good things & values. Hope you all get better work with better employers. 🙏🏻

  6. #Downsizing is going a bit better than expected in that I am allowing myself to release years of clothing that were never worn or sentimental tshirts. I even found a "lost" pin that was on a jacket waaaay back in the closet. 💕

    But, everything came to a full stop when I reached my #hockey sweater (aka #jersey) collection. Almost each are autographed & some I inherited from my brother. 😱

  11. A really really tough question about #downsizing....

    Downsizing my life and starting with the closet. Hiding in the very dark part of the closet, sitting alone on a shelf and I’m staring at *those* jeans 👖

    You know the ones: goal jeans.

    Is this still a thing?
    I haven’t fit in them in years, but somehow they still hold hope, memories, and a little stubbornness. Actually, probably more wishful thinking than anything else. 😂

    Do I keep them for motivation or let them go and accept who I am now?

  12. The #downsizing adventure continues... #MarieKondo says keep what sparks joy.

    For me, that includes old wooden floors, a few good memories, and a pair of boots made for walking.

    Everything else? Thank it kindly and let it go (but that is really tough with a lifetime of memories: concert tshirts, stupid #souvenirs, #inherited treasures that really are not treasures, etc).

  13. “Sources familiar with the matter say the company (#META) could lay off as much as 20 percent of its staff, eliminating roughly 15,800 positions. That would be the largest series of #layoffs at the company since it #terminated 22,000 workers over just a few months between November 2022 and early 2023.

    Word of the potential #downsizing comes after Meta signaled that it was all but giving up on #VR and the #Metaverse, slashing budgets and closing studios. Instead, the company has been spending big to attract #AITalent, build #DataCenters, and acquire companies like #Moltbook.”

    I note the “silver bullet” approach by a company who was founded on PHP widgets and #SocialMedia.

  14. The start of #downsizing has begun.

    I wish I could go back to my younger self and convince her that the tiny beach shack or small rustic old cabin she always dreamt of was enough.

    A big #suburban #home was always too much.

    Time for me to stop keeping up with the Joneses and back to #Appalachia where I belong.

  15. #Digg is #downsizing its team due to challenges in finding product-market fit, including a significant #botproblem and the strong pull of existing social platforms. Despite these setbacks, Digg is not shutting down and is reimagining its approach with the return of founder Kevin Rose. The company remains committed to building a trustworthy online community. digg.com/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia

  17. @jabgoe2089 Für wen sollte man denn eine Infrastrukturlösung schaffen wie aws oder azure? Es sind doch wieder nur die, die sich an der Allgemeinheit bereichern, mit z. T. zwielichtigen oder im Ergebnis gesellschaftsschädigenden Geschäftsmodellen. Vieles was ich zuletzt noch digital online gemacht habe, mache ich jetzt gar nicht mehr oder wieder offline, da Anbieter und Plattformen darunter nicht vertrauenswürdig sind.

  19. @bmv 😂 Sorry, wie verzerrt kann ein Weltbild sein?! Die (Nicht-)Arbeit und (Minder-)Leistung der Beteiligten ist nicht nur Grund für den schlechten Zustand und die Dauer-Hindernisse auf den Autobahnen, sondern das Konzept ist total kaputt. Selbst wenn die baulichen Zustände besser wären, sitzen in jedem übermotorisierten, übergroßen PKW nur 1,3 Personen und die Straßen werden als großes Schnelldreherlager genutzt. Für sowas kann man sich nicht feiern.

  20. #MoviesWorthWatching . . .

    Two more movies that I've just watched on #Tubi that I think are worth watching:

    1) #Driveways (2020) co-starring #HongChau, the petite tough talking Asian woman (who ate Matt Damon for lunch in #Downsizing in 2017) & #BrianDenehey (who plays out of type as a soft spoken & empathetic retired vet). The central character is a young socially awkward boy (Hong Chau's son) who attaches himself to the retiree. More generally it's about growing old, dying & how life goes on nonetheless.

    2) #Learning to Drive (2014) co-starring #PatriciaClarkson & #BenKingsly. Is focused on a middle aged White woman who is trying to cope with getting dumped by her husband for a younger woman & an East Indian man who is her driving teacher. However, more broadly, the movie is about how "learning to drive" is a metaphor for how the women needs to get her life back together & how doing so also helps her teacher cope with learning to relate to a woman he just met in an arranged marriage.

  21. #Auspol #HousingShortage #Downsizing

    apart from the massive problem of negative gearing… the housing problem is exacerbated by the costs of downsizing.

    in victoria, if i am not mistaken, there is a once-only-per-lifetime exemption from stamp duty on a primary place of residence.
    anyone who is 70+ in their own home who has ever moved in the past, might find the price difference between a 4 bed 2 bath residence and a 1 or 2 bed 1 bath residence is not enough to cover the cost of stamp duty if they downsize to the same area (not even the same suburb) — in which case, they cannot afford to downsize.
