I was always under the impression that it was one of Yiole’s contributions to the English vernacular. :thinking:

I heard it a few years ago on YouTube in a video about the decaying quality of movies and reduced availability of talented actors/actresses. The narrator called it “the enshitification of Hollywood”.

A team of archaeologists, led by Dr. Amelia Bennett, discovered a Nephilim skull, sparking excitement and debate within the archaeological community. The well-preserved skull, found in a historically significant remote region, could provide insights into the mysterious Nephilim, beings of extraordinary size mentioned in ancient texts. While the find raises questions about ancient civilizations and their beliefs, skeptics suggest alternative explanations like deformities or cranial modifications

I learned it from reading a few of Cory Doctorow’s articles and then spread the word


As Capitalism works hard to destroy itself I am more and more reminded of what a online acquitance, a professsonal economist, explained: efficiency and effectiveness are not the same thing.

“Efficiency” is to learn half the subject hoping that you’ll answer half the questions in the test and pass by the bare minimum.

“Efectiveness” is to do your job, learn the whole subject and pass the test as well as you can and no matter what the questions are.

And now we have Capitalism very effectively destroying itself in the name of efficiency and shareholder profit, because pretending is cheaper than doing and those who save money by pretending will just get a fat bonus and bail from the company before the excrements hit the fan.

(Right now, some briliant minds are working hard on how to sell to everyone involved the idea of commercial airplanes with a single pilot because of savings and technobabble, convinced that when the first airliner crashes with noone at the controls because of this briliant idea, they will already be rich(er) and consequences be damned).

And now I’m off to bed. Night night lovelies!

Also: that’s some seriously firm bossom!

I have told bosses that if they want me to be efficient, I can do that, I will cut corners and skip past things to get it done in half the time. Or OR I can do this(whatever this is) Effectively and it will shine and pop. It will be the best that I can do. It will not just look good. It will be good.

For any boss that said I want you to be efficient. I quit and went elsewhere.

I am a dying breed of the American worker. I always took pride in any work I did. Whether it was running a machine, drywalling, waxing a floor, supervising a floor or whatever job I was doing at the time. I was taught and believe that what you did should always be the best.

That you should learn from the mistakes made and correct them. Making sure that it would not happen again. My work ethic will not allow me to look at piece of shoddy work and say, Good enough. That work is reflection on me. If I am going to put my name to something. Then I want to be able to do the very best I can.

This efficiency crap is how people get hurt and worse.

sigh

I will go yell at the clouds now

Downunder we need to jump through hoops to be able to load up 50 dollars into a TAB (sports betting acc)
With multiple layers to even load the account with 50 bucks )

Tonight’s Rugby Match Sydney Bulldogs vs Brisbane Broncos

I received a general bank error message after entering the code txt so guess I need to go over to the pub like normal to load 50


The issue see with this stuff is that I could be totally tanked and don’t need to press buttons and have my 50 bucks loaded for tonight’s game.

The internet is so dumb as I am currently too tanked to even be allowed to enter the pub that I was kicked out of 3 times this year.(last year) I just realised it’s actually 2025) wow hey?

/siri understands me


So I need to stop drinking for an hour and half to be sober enough to pass the bouncer to use my tab card to load funds before 8pm kickoff

//this is my Friday and I hope your Friday is going better than mine.

Why do people bet Frostpuppy?

Those who can least afford it bet the most, the odds are that you become poorer.

Your best bet is to invest in Zaera as she is a winner.

Steve Jobs would have lost his Jobs as does not realise that Zaera’s time is important.

Zaera does not care about how small his floppy disc is.

Somebody once tackled me in low-sec PVP and told me: “It rubs the PLEX on its skin or else it gets the cap neutralizer again. It does this whenever it is told. Put the PLEX IN THE BASKET!”

Sounds like he was off his meds.

Zaera would have just popped, looted and podded him
