My Seat Leon car. VW really shat the bed with their latest gen cars.

Yeah, I agree that might work if the marketing team isn’t that connected to the product. I’ve not worked with a marketing team where that would work, but maybe it will for some. It doesn’t change the “massive customer will only renew if” scenario, though.

What else is a career politician going to do? Join the work force?

The challenge is, in a real org of some size, you’ll suddenly get marketing or customer success asking you for commitments that are very far out, because ad slots have to be booked or a very large customer renewal is coming up.

And some of the normal coping mechanism (beta-branch that spins off stable feature to the general release branch) don’t work for all those requests.

Try as you might, you are going to get far off deadlines that you have to work towards. Not for everything but for more than you’d like.

What a cretin.

Are you aware that YouTube has a search function?

They’ve just learnt it all from Vegas.

Paris is lovely, as long as you avoid the worst tourist areas. Seeing people queue in the middle of Champs-Élysées, between lanes of traffic, just to get that one pretend shot of the Arc de Triumphe is a special circle of hell.

So knowing that European consider Swiss people cold, imagine how cold they are.

They are stone cold to foreigners - so many English speaking wealthy people live there and they are not welcomed into the local communities. It can take a decade to make local Swiss friends.

I’m using a Sony ZV-1 in a SmallRig camera cage, attached to an HDMI capture device. It’s a step below a DSLR, also in price, but it makes a huge difference to the quality and I get frequent comments about the “AWMAHGAWD amazing set up you’ve got, look at how crisp it is!” when I join meetings. The lens is really open and it captures a lot of detail. By far the best compact/quality setup I’ve found.

Tbf that’s a better explanation than any other I’ve heard.

Agile Coaches.

It’s like having a cadre of political officers in your team.

I’m a 47 year old man.

Whenever I hear Salute by Little Mix, I bop along. How could you not?

Your pace of walking definitely has a huge impact on people’s impression of you.

It’s a workplace monitoring tool dressed up as a workplace wellness tool.

You know that table that shows the risk of employees who might burn out, given their meeting frequency, teams interactions, email rate, work hours etc.? If you flip the sorting order, you can measure who isn’t doing enough (by whatever metrics the employer decides).

100% agreed. For me it’s pretty simple; issue the same test you issue immigrants for citizenship. If people can’t pass that, why the hell are they getting involved in the governing of our country?

And I speak as someone who has passed the U.K. citizenship test to acquire U.K. citizenship. It takes 2 weeks of studying one hour/week AND some general understanding of what’s going on in the country. It’s not hard, it just requires a little effort and involvement. Seems a minimum you can expect before people make decisions that affect us all.

Voting.

Reddit by far was a better experience; more content, better moderation, less negativity.

I’m still here on Lemmy, though, in hope of it getting better (and it definitely scratches the same itch as Reddit without the corporate arrogance).

That said, even though it annoys me, I do find myself getting exposed to a wider array of opinions on Lemmy that I just never saw on Reddit. And while I disagree with a lot of it it’s probably healthier for things to be that way. The tankies, though … so many tankies.

100% cigarette reversed into a cupped hand.

For me, it would be Heat. It was released before people really had the internet, so I had no idea about the movie and just wandered past an afternoon showing with a friend, thinking well why not, let’s give it a shot.

Came out wanting to immediately see it again.
