Among other things, companies that sign the pledge agree to cooperate when it comes to fighting toxic content, such as child sexual abuse material and terrorist content. They promise to “responsibly address hate speech, disinformation and opinion manipulation.” Everything's fixed people. We can rest easy now.

Right, I'd like to see how that works out. What I've seen so far is "Oh, you disagree with xyz??? You posted an opinion that differs from that held by the online mob??? You can't do that! That's hate speech! -- YOU ARE BANNED!!!"

I love that he points to systemd as a success story. Every linux power user I know raged about their favorite distro drinking the koolaid, and have continued to rage every time they have to do anything related to the functions that systemd borged up.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft’s “Meeting Insight Computing System,” as described in patent filings, would use cameras, sensors, and software tools to monitor the people and the conditions in a meeting, as well as post-meeting surveys, to create a “quality score” for the meeting. 4/5 meeting attendees felt that 4/5 of the meeting attendees were fools
What about the old, "Add the salaries of everyone in the room, and divide by the time in the meeting. Then have the organizer decide if it's worth that much."

Scammers are trying to steal email credentials from employees by impersonating their organization's human resources (HR) department in phishing emails camouflaged as internal 'back to work' company memos. So I wasted all that time walking downstairs to my office?

In .NET 3.0 we introduced a GC.GetGCMemoryInfo API for library code to get memory load related things (this was used in ArrayPool for example) so it exposed things library folks wanted at the time. "The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me You can't beat the memories you gave-a me"

The UK is spinning up a new regulatory body, intended to "enforce a new code to govern the behavior of platforms that currently dominate the market." Because if anyone knows good management, it's the UK government
Too political? Or recognized for the sarcasm intended (and could probably also be said for just about any government past or present)

Italy’s Borexino detector has confirmed a decades-old theory, finding the first-ever evidence of a carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle that produces neutrinos in our Sun. Because it's the dawning of the Age of Aquarius?
And here I thought 'neutrino fluxes' were just in Star Trek.
