I can’t find matrix or any company in the matrix ecosystem on that list, the only mention I can find is on the main page where it is one of the *recommended* alternatives to slack.
Could you show me a quote?
I wrote in May 2011:
- Dispensationalism leads to churches setting up all-powerful pastors with no accountability or elders to handle things when he's dead and gone.
- Dispensationalism leads to churches meeting in strip malls or movie theaters instead of building stone buildings to last a hundred years so their children don't have to worry about paying for facilities.
- Dispensationalism leads to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East that promotes inequality by favoring Israel "at all costs" even when they perform illegal crimes against humanity.
- Dispensationalism leads to U.S. environmental policy that is only concerned about the short-term, endorsing oil as fuel since it doesn't matter if it runs out because we won't be here anymore.
- Dispensationalism leads to a U.S. environmental policy that doesn't care about raping the environment and exterminating species, because it's all going to burn anyway.
- Dispensationalism leads to American Christians getting deep into debt to support their "prosperity gospel" lifestyle, since they expect they'll never have to pay the money back anyway.
- Dispensationalism leads to American Christians failing to provide an education or inheritance for their children since Jesus is coming back tomorrow anyway.
There’s a whole lot of eschatological fervor out there, with the civil war in Libya, the earthquake in Japan a couple months ago, Harold Camping’s yet-another-failed-prediction of the date and time of Judgment Day, and Obama’s speech on Middle East d…I must follow, if I can

"You don't have to stay in a job you don't like."
That is true. On the other hand I like my family to eat and have made myself basically unhireable because I criticize tech loudly.

Where has this song been all my life.
Whoa, thank you for this link! I instantly became a Durry fan.
[Verse 1]
"If you got time to lean
Then you got time to clean" is what they told me
They don't own me
They just own the only thing that's keepin' me alive
They swear that's not a threat
'Cause I could always starve to death
I guess I'll pledge allegiance to the paycheck
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll sign the dotted line
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Say, "The customer's always right"
Cross my heart, hope to die
I'll turn my frown upside down
Lock my knees 'til I pass out
Sold my soul for the payroll
Just don't ask me why 'cause
[Chorus]I don't know
I just work here, I suppose
I don't care
You can burn it down as far as I'm concеrned
Call it apathy, or maybe I'm just lazy
I don't know
But it's still me, mysеlf, and I against the world
(Me, myself, and I against the world)
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll win the lottery
Buy myself a lobotomy
Scoop out my brains, and maybe then
I'll blend right in with management
Pretty, rich, or talented
You need two to make it
I guess I'll just pledge allegiance to the paycheck
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll sign the dotted line
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Say, "The customer's always right"
Cross my heart, hope to die
I'll turn my frown upside down
Lock my knees 'til I pass out
Sold my soul for the payroll
Just don't ask me why 'cause
[Chorus]I don't know
I just work here, I suppose
I don't care
You can burn it down as far as I'm concerned
Call it apathy, or maybe I'm just lazy
I don't know
But it's still me, myself, and I against the world
(Me, myself, and I against the world)
[Bridge]Excuse me, young man, may I speak to your manager?
Uh, I don't think he's here right now
Well, I am appalled at the lack of respect that you are showing to your customers right now
Oh
I have been a loyal patron of this establishment for thirty years
Wow
And you have just lost my business. What do you have to say for yourself?
Uh, I mean, I don't know, man, I just work here
[Bridge]They'll say, "That's just the way
The real world works
Everything's supposed to hurt"
They idolize self-sacrifice
And demonize self-worth
And all the while, they'll just
Sit back and ask, "Why no one wants to work?"
And we'll all have a hearty laugh
Roll our eyes and catch our breath
And all together with our chest
Send it back and tell them
[Chorus]I don't know
I just work here, I suppose
I don't care
You can burn it down as far as I'm concerned
Call it apathy, or maybe I'm just lazy
I don't know
But it's still me, myself, and I against the world
(Me, myself, and I against the world)
[Outro]So I'll sign the dotted line
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Say, "The customer's always right"
Cross my heart, hope to die
I'll turn my frown upside down
Lock my knees 'til I pass out
Sold my soul for the payroll
Just don't ask me why 'cause
I don't know
(I hope you have a terrific day)

I think to myself, “but surely it can’t be that bad…how many followers do they have that this would be problematic?”
*clicks profile, sees “20K followers”*
“Ah…right then…I’m beginning to see why this would be a problem.”

> You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by your CFO who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on six more.
This is about AI.

So what you’re saying is the bullshit exponentially increases over time?
cause that sounds about right to me as to what’s happening
Never gets old.
I first saw it in Barron's (28/I/02), and I thought Alan Ableson wrote it, but apparently someone e-mailed it to him.
". . . Enron, a major owner of cows, will begin trading cows over the Web. Analysts proclaim Enron the prototypical New Economy company, bull the shares to the moon, enabling you to sell huge gobs of the stock and use part of the proceeds to buy a top-of-the-line shredding machine."
You have two cows *but they're not yours, you took them without consent from the original cow owners*. And so on.
Let's not forget AI relies on nonconsensual use of others' labor. Their cows, even.
