looking forward to the day when you can't access the internet without uploading some official ID, but you can only *apply* for said ID over the internet.

the ultimate goal of the project isn't actually to increase productivity at all, but rather, to remove as many humans from the system as possible. humans have opinions. humans are trouble.
in fact this attitude goes back a long way. i remember hearing from a higher-up, in all seriousness, about 15 years ago, the line that "the biggest threat to a company is its employees".

trying to remember the circumstances of this now. it was during a time that the company was trying to make the transition from being a "medium sized" company to a "large" company and reasoning that if they wanted to be large they had to adopt large company attitudes. they got this idea that a large company had a large staff turnover and were threatening a policy whereby the 10% least productive employees would be fired every year. absolutely batshit stuff. i left shortly after that.

@aredridel@kolektiva.social @dx@social.ridetrans.it there's a kind of logic to it in physical print media. but on a website? what possible purpose does this serve? they have just duplicated the form without any thought as to the reason for it.
they even do something similar in videos now and it drives me insane.

@aredridel@kolektiva.social @dx@social.ridetrans.it you've probably already scrolled down a screen or two, which means you have already been reading it. i'm not sure if it's better or worse when the pullquote comes before or after the original context.

@AlisonW@fedimon.uk @jonpsp@mstdn.social @cfy@mas.to @edzilla@social.edzilla.info well yes, that was my point. wouldn't be surprised if that was, in fact, the entire reason for this. otherwise what sense does it make if an employer has to send someone who's government-issued ID says "female" into the gents toilets (or vice versa).

@atax1a@infosec.exchange @thephd@pony.social i mean it would let you check the status flags after an add to see if an integer overflowed, at the very least. rofl. i mean it lets you do a lot of dodgy stuff but try implementing a 128-bit integer on a CPU that makes that trivial in assembly language

@MostlyHarmless i particularly like how putting "Star Trek" leads to 71 Down being a Star Wars quote (or vice versa)

@aredridel@kolektiva.social @MxVerda@lgbtqia.space @dx@social.ridetrans.it well it was meant for people flicking through the magazines in the shop at the train station, wasn't it. or something

@r_tapeloaderror@mastodon.gamedev.place @aldroid@mastodon.social no it's a fish slice if it's shaped like a fish slice.
this is a fish slice
Replying to
@aldroid@mastodon.social @r_tapeloaderror@mastodon.gamedev.place it's called a fish slice because it's for serving fish. it's not a cooking implement and i'll have no truck with this modern bastardised terminology

@jonpsp@mstdn.social @cfy@mas.to @edzilla@social.edzilla.info @AlisonW@fedimon.uk since the recent supreme court judgement i wouldn't be surprised if these new cards outed all trans people to their employers
