I used to work for a Delaware-based company. It had no employee from the US, we worked from one of the cheaper eastern Europe countries, the only person who lived in the US was CEO's wife.

Everyone selling instruments of oppression will gladly go on selling them to repressive regimes, even when public sentiment is that they should rebel against the oppression and those instruments make it way harder. Nothing personal, just business 😠

No, I haven't searched, but I'm thinking of printing a cheat sheet and maybe learning the letters, it seems like fun even if not too useful

Yeah, and definitely not still

Since the audience seems to miss the same point over and over again, it might be less than necessary

Would do better with an excerpt:

In 2022, the Swedish digital bank and fintech giant Klarna laid off 700 permanent staff, hoping to replace the expertise and energies of hundreds of employees with a single, rational AI assistant that would apparently handle millions of different consumer conversations in dozens of languages.

Yet the bots didn’t work out; almost immediately, customers began complaining of constant glitches and of finding themselves stuck in ‘loops’ on the app, where they simply could not get the answer they wanted. Soon, Klarna had to admit their mistakes, returning to hiring human staff this year — but still took the opportunity to move to a precarious employment model where workers are given ‘remote and flexible’ zero-hours contracts for the sake of the company’s profiteering.

This is hardly the only instance of stories of corporate greed being enabled by AI hype, and new stories with familiar features continue to emerge daily. As such, the release of Emily M Bender and Alex Hanna’s The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want is a timely, welcome moment.

Looks like it's advertising this book mentioned in the third paragraph, since the rest of the text mentions The AI Con in almost every one of paragraphs left

I guessed, because probably Fuck would also be removed. That's on point, still

𐑣𐑳?

𐑲 𐑥𐑰𐑯, @lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 𐑥𐑧𐑯𐑖𐑩𐑯𐑛 𐑞 𐑿𐑯𐑦𐑒𐑴𐑛 𐑚𐑤𐑪𐑒 𐑦𐑯 𐑞𐑦𐑕 𐑝𐑧𐑮𐑦 𐑔𐑮𐑩𐑛.

Also, a fraction of cyclists riding non-electric bikes have a habit of moving faster than 18 mph, by the looks of it maybe even 30 mph

But since I'm barely capable of passing 18 mph limit myself, and usually prefer to ride even slower, I am not quite sure how fast are they

Not that obvious, it seems

It's a bit hard to follow your point, maybe that's the reason.

But yeah, every fucked up state in the 21st century was recommended to just protest harder and then frowned upon for not making any real change

Yeah, auto-censored Lemmy instances are peak freedom, indeed

These are the instructions: https://www.shavian.info/keyboards/

As for which font, I think most that claim wide Unicode support should contain them

𐑜𐑫𐑛 𐑤𐑳𐑒

And it took them 3 years to finish

Wait, can't this presumed weapon of mass rustification coreutils clone be also re-published under GPL?

There is a user here on Lemmy, that writes half of eir text in Shavian

There are also Shaw keyboards for keyman keyboard app, so I think it is indeed usable

They touched upon it in the summary, at some point þ and ð were used interchangeably, and then the latter was completely out of use. It's not like they tried to be as confusing as possible, but we get what we get

It was a really good comment up until ye last paragraph

In the comment section there is a link to the article about David Woodard, who is the main character of Wikipedia's investigation

The article is from 2000, more than 25 years ago now, but it looks like an interesting complementary read

You should then average the salary over the time you were paid 0 because you were learning on your own, too
