@fortune@social.linux.pizzaThis is an especially good time for you vacationers who plan to fly, because
the Reagan administration, as part of the same policy under which it
recently sold Yellowstone National Park to Wayne Newton, has "deregulated"
the airline industry. What this means for you, the consumer, is that the
airlines are no longer required to follow any rules whatsoever. They can
show snuff movies. They can charge for oxygen. They can hire pilots right
out of Vend…

@niqdanger@social.linux.pizzaLast night scrolling my phone I saw an add for a CyberSecurity conference. It was localish, so I clicked. After an entire page about it only being aimed for "professionals" and specifically not "Professors and students, or sales industry professionals" (and others) which seemed unnecessary, I was unable to see the schedule or even the speakers until I registered with personal info. No thank you, I don't need to go. It just felt... icky.

@deprogrammaticaipsum@mas.to"The RDBMS field is so young, we can actually see it grow through the pages of computer magazines of the 1980s. BYTE Magazine had its first issue dedicated to databases in November 1981, and then another one in October 1984. Dr. Dobb’s Journal did not feature an article about databases until 1984 and did not have many more throughout the decade; actually most of them were authored by Gene Head, and talk about dBASE."

@gwire@mastodon.socialI have no objection to newspapers criticising the executive pay of public organisations. But I think, especially as an industry that enjoys a VAT exemption, they should disclose their own executive remuneration in any story that uses the term "fat cats".

@sproid@social.linux.pizzaI like books. I buy them as physical as well as eBooks formats.
I don't always make a direct contribution to the author/s when I buy them used, or borrow them from the library.
But I will explicitly not support (with my wallet) of Amazon's Monopoly on the book industry.
So I will encourage everyone to also boycott that monopoly.
