I’ve never felt awkward about quitting, but I have given notice depending on how fucked over the colleagues I cared about would be.
If I didn’t have any, I was out effective immediately.
If I did, I told my colleagues first and used a boiler plate to give the company a two week deadline to replace me.
At about 5 p.m. on 7 October, a train was stopped at Otaru Station, when a passenger spotted the driver reading a book and reported it to the company.
This was a “local” train, meaning a train that stops at all stations along a line, as opposed to an “express” train, which only stops at major stations. Because of this system, sometimes local trains will stop for extended periods of time at lesser-used stations while express trains get the right of way to zoom through. In this case, the train was scheduled to wait at Otaru Station for eight minutes before setting off again, so the driver decided to kill some time with a book.
Not only that, but the book he brought in to read was about railways. The driver admitted that he had done so before in the past too, and that he takes the opportunity to relax for a moment when he has the time. No incidents or delays occurred as a result, but JR Hokkaido apologized for the concern it caused among passengers.
Readers of the news online were largely defending the driver in their comments and condemning the person who tipped off JR Hokkaido about the reading. However, there were a few who felt what the driver did was inappropriate for a workplace.
What an absolute, unnecessary dickhead.
Last I heard from Automattic, they were putting the Fediverse conversion on indefinite hiatus.
Is your news saying they’re starting up again ?

Not even that.
I set up two communities by accident on my way to the bathroom while replying to this comment.
Fascists don’t like sharing, even with other fascists.
OP’s post commentary history is dropping religious pamphlets in inappropriate comms. Blocking.
Edit: wrong word.
The problem with that, of course, is that one MIT study found that many enterprise organizations have so far seen zero return from their AI efforts.
Buyers are also changing, McKinsey believes. It says purchasing decisions are shifting from the IT department to line-of-business units. These leaders are increasingly making budget trade-offs between head count investment and AI deployment, and expect vendors to engage them on value and outcomes, not just features.
That could be a tricky sell, when trials of AI tools such as Microsoft’s Copilot by a UK government department reveal no discernible boost in productivity. Still, the AI firms have to recoup all those billions they’ve already invested somehow, don’t they?
They don’t. They don’t have to recoup those billions.
They can go bankrupt like businesses that create no value are supposed to.
Is there a good reason for not making them states already?
Oh, I understand now.
I thought the claim was “the weather made it unlikely that he smoked a cigarette”.
Investigators later ruled out cigarettes as a possible cause based on weather conditions at the time, according to the complaint.
‘It was too [insert weather here] for a cigarette’ sounds like bullshit.
I’m blocking you.
You should’ve been moderated already, for spamming the comm with stuff that has to be against Rule 1 (All posts must be shower thoughts).
This post is like finding a fake $20 in the parking lot that is actually a Jesus pamphlet.
Edit: Added pictures for context
Just to make this abundantly clear, we received a cease & desist against our use of the name ‘Revolt’, we are not releasing any further details as this may cause harassment of the other party and may hurt negotiations.
Damn, that sucks. I wonder who the whiny IP baby is.
I feel like this is technically true, but in reality it only works like this in the void of space.
The energy I’m spending is to counter the molecule vibration transfer that’s being done (against my food’s will) by the sun and everything else in the space around my fridge.
I am ready for some physicist to pop out of the tall grass and explain how wrong I am.
This… does not seem like a shower thought.
That just sounds like normal news.
Not “I’m surprised this isn’t satire.”
The mistake is assuming this decision was based on anything resembling principles or values.
Why is this in nottheonion?
Yes
