I ran this poll 2 years ago and 90% of the correspondents on mastodon told me there were no required AI usage at their workplace.
I would like to ask the same question again in 2026:
“Does your workplace have any AI related requirements, either as major project goal, in performance review, or with usage analytics tracking, against your own will?”
Boost welcomed.
It’s honestly really hard to believe the huge fines the EU gives tech giants isn’t purely a money grab when every other action they do concerning tech giants is sucking up and doing tech giant bidding.

Enjoying #Japan at the moment. Quick trip to Fukuoka with wife.
better to have followed and unfollowed than never to have followed at all

Burned about 4-5 days making posts with audio look cool in my Mastodon app (soon to be on TestFlight). These simple distractions are probably not what I should be focusing on. It's like adding a new dining car to a train when the brakes still don't work. Anyhow, here is a blog about making audio look cool:

Ah the first editor I always disable on a new install. Because vim ftw 🙌 https://floss.social/@9to5linux/116370150652448706
Vacation mode activated. Going to Korea and Japan for 3 weeks. This is being “paid for” via purchasing critical medicines I need in Korea that are basically unaffordable in the US! 😑
