My banana diet starts tomorrow.
...we cannot allow actions that deliberately cause harm
Seems like that's about the only actions Reddit execs have taken over the last several years. Glad I left when I did.
There will likely be no benefit for the employees or the users. For the PE firm, the goal is usually to pump up the value and resell or reenter the market, at a massive profit, in a few years. To do that, they'll have to make a lot of unpopular choices, such as layoffs and other cost cutting measures. If they're privately held, those choices have far less impact on the value of the company, since the stock market is heavily swayed by public perception.
...micromanagement of advertising in today's hyper-competitive marketplace...
WTF are they on about? Cable TV is the least competitive market out there. I've never lived anywhere with more than two options.
...El Salvador has decided to transfer a large chunk of its bitcoin holdings to a cold wallet and store it in a physical vault
What are we up to now, like Ocean's 15 or something?
But... but... then how will they collect telemetry for targeted advertising?
When I was a kid, I had seen, or at least heard of, nearly every TV show from my parent's generation. Going back probably 40 years. Like, I've probably seen every Looney Tunes, every episode of M.A.S.H., and most episodes of The Munsters, because some days there wasn't anything else to watch. My kids look at me crazy if I haven't heard of the latest flash-in-the-pan influencer, but if I bring up a 10-year old movie or TV show, they have no idea what I'm talking about.
It's the "see no evil" approach. If you didn't report the issue while the admin was online, then they aren't compelled to do anything about it. Convenient for the project maintainer who doesn't actually like maintaining things. Awful for the rest of us.
"Wealthy asshole has no empathy." I'm shocked. Fuck her. Fuck talking heads in general.

people with Goldman-backed credit cards like the Apple Card are actually making their payments less often than people with credit cards from other banks
Who could have possibly seen this coming?

I get emails from school, with a link that opens a 3rd party app, which only displays a link that opens in the default browser. I've asked the school to just send me direct links to the announcements, but they say they can't. The site doesn't require authentication, but the URLs have UUIDs so I can't just guess what the link would be. The app is quite literally just a data exfiltration layer that does everything it can to make sure you can't bypass it. Good luck getting any other parents to give a shit though.
