You didn’t just start using electric ones?

I switched away from google maps to Apple Maps a few years ago and I honestly can’t tell any difference. If google maps traffic data is better, it’s not in any noticeable kind of way for regular day to day usage.

100% of the companies this article is about are American companies. The top talent the article describes live in the United States.

0% of the countries that aren’t America are relevant to this article, my comment, and this thread. Including yours.

The article isn’t talking about Apple or Google adding privacy-invasive stuff. It’s talking about protections being put in place To prevent you from being tracked by things like Apple’s Airtags

You think the market is fucking rational, here? I’ve got news for you, guy, regular people’s view of this means fuck-all to these people and the only thing that matters to them is the stock price.

The market absolutely props up “irrational decisions” and cutting employees to cut costs has been a bellwether for increasing stock price for forty fucking years now.

That’s my exact point. I don’t think this is some conspiracy to secretly lay off people. I think this is just a more straightforward case of C-levels blundering around with decisions that make sense only to them.

I think they absolutely thought RTO would be a benefit in some way, and after being proven wrong they just save face with corporate buzzwords.

I’m not sure if this was actually some kind of sinister plot, rather than incompetence and ego. You’re not the first to suggest that this is a way to lay people off without “having to pay severance”, but what really throws a wrench into that idea is that in most states they didn’t “have” to pay severance in the first place. That’s really more reliant on the employment offer or contract. There really wasn’t anything stopping these companies from just laying people off the normal way. The only other justification I’ve seen is that it’s a way to “avoid bad press”. But clearly it doesn’t because we all still know this is happening and we’re all still just as unhappy about it. If anything, it’s better for a company to just lay people off and spin it as a “cost saving measure” to appease shareholders, than make it look like top talent is leaving of their own volition. The latter makes the company look bad to both the general population and its shareholders.

Oh yes why fix economic system when we can just defeat human nature. Great idea that’ll be much easier.

Proton has never given any guarantee about hiding all account metadata from the Swiss government either.

If you have a business line you’re still 100% getting a script reader. They just come without a foreign accent.
