Now, the company says it imagines an "Uber-type of setup" to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.

So they're using their spectacular failure as a chance to exploit their new 'employees' via the gig economy.

Fuck them. They have learned nothing about respect or decency, and I hope they continue to crash and burn.

That's objectively poor survey design. For questions like that there should always be an 'Other' option. There should also be a 'None' or 'N/A' option.

Wow. Finally this administration does something that seems like a good idea.

Nobody tell them they will be following the EU's lead by doing this.

Damn, they're not even waiting for their guy to be sworn in again before they start the infighting. This truly is a speed run to social cannibalism.

Oh look, yet again the supporters screaming the loudest about biggest fraud are the ones committing it.

Every accusation an admission of guilt.

Fuck Adobe. They are the epitome of the greedy, toxic software company.

I switched from Photoshop over to Krita last year. I've tried Gimp in the past, but just can't adjust to the UI. Krita is different too, but not to the same degree. I've been enjoying it. It's well-made and very powerful, with very good online support.

"I better win or you're gonna have problems like we've never had. We may have no country left," Trump said at his weekend swing-state rally. "This may be our last election. You want to know the truth? People have said that. This could be our last election."

It's always projection with him and his supporters.

Side note: the thumbnail on this article has priceless meme potential.

Brave Sir Donald ran away.

Bravely ran away away.

When danger reared it's ugly head,

He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about

And gallantly he chickened out.

Gingerly taking to his feet,

He beat a very brave retreat.

Bravest of the brave, Sir Donald!

Dell announced a new return-to-office initiative earlier this year. In the new plan, workers had to classify themselves as remote or hybrid.

Those who classified themselves as hybrid are subject to a tracking system that ensures they are in a physical office 39 days a quarter, which works out to close to three days per work week.

Alternatively, by classifying themselves as remote, workers agree they can no longer be promoted or hired into new roles within the company.

Holy corporate oppression, Batman! That's a shitty deal no matter which option you choose.

I'm glad they've got themselves into a sticky situation.

Also, this observation was funny (in a sad way):

One person said they'd spoken with colleagues who had chosen to go hybrid, and those colleagues reported doing work in mostly empty offices punctuated with video calls with people who were in other mostly empty offices.

Despite falling short of his financial goal, Black said his journey showcased the power of determination and the importance of health and family

So he learned absolutely nothing about the plight of countless millions of people. Got it.
