“#Google, #Amazon, #Meta, and other #TechCompanies have monetized confusion, constantly testing how much they can interfere with and manipulate users. … As a result, our collective online experience is getting worse — it's harder to buy the things you want to buy, more convoluted to search for information, and more difficult to socialize with people.”

When there is an #Earthquake (which happens regularly these days) my wife gets a message from #Samsung about how to react. For instance she is told that if she smells gas she should turn off the gas.
The thing is, we don't have gas-pipes in #Iceland. Furthermore, if you smell gas after a quake it might indicate that there is a danger of a volcanic eruption in your vicinity.
#TechCompanies shouldn't issue instructions like this without consulting the appropriate authorities in each country.

Even though the data shows that #remote and #HybridWork boost #productivity and the bottom line, some #TechCompanies are now mandating a #ReturnToOffice (#RTO). In this post, Melody Brue dives into what's driving these mandates, and into the concerns about #ProximityBias in the #workplace.

#SCOTUS on Tues will hear oral arguments in #GonzalezVGoogle, a lawsuit that argues #TechCompanies should be legally #liable for #HarmfulContent that their #algorithms promote. The Gonzalez family contends that by recommending ISIS-related content, #Google’s #YouTube acted as a recruiting platform for the group in violation of U.S. laws against aiding & abetting #terrorists.

Many of the world’s biggest #TechCompanies have been announcing #layoffs recently. Their explanation is usually that they #overhired and need to cut #costs. But #HarvardBusinessSchool professor Sandra Sucher says companies often underestimate the downsides.
Layoffs don’t just come with bad publicity: they lead to weakened #engagement, higher #turnover, and lower #innovation as remaining employees fear #RiskTaking.

@NireBryce well, #Pidgin still exists and #Barnowl is another multi-protocol client.
It's just a decision by #TechCompanies - espechally the #GAFAMs - to purposefully cockblock multiprotocol messengers and refuse to implement #MultiVendor / #MultiProvider - capable #OpenStandards.
But even then there are options like #Owl for #Thunderbird when some #Exchange server refuses to offer #IMAP & #SMTP and there were even addons to support #Lync back in the day on Pidgin...

"Around 12,000 Google employees have been emailed, telling them their jobs are gone.
It follows cuts at Meta, Twitter and Microsoft. More than 200,000 jobs have been lost in the sector in a year. Why are so many jobs being shed in Big Tech sector worldwide?" | Inside Story

Devastating to say the least on tech companies. Massive hiring spikes from 2017-19 at places like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, etc. now led to massive layoffs in just the last 6 months. At least 200K jobs cut since August 2022. Originally my dream to work in tech but currently in banking/finance. This just shows how inconsistent and unpredictable the tech industry can be. #techindustry #layoffs #employees #microsoft #google #amazon #alphabet #techcompanies #techlayoffs
