Tim Cook of apple got paid $92 million in 2022 - a massive degree of overcompensation in my opinion, and an amount he got sued for.

If he got paid at a comparable percentage of revenue to spez last year that would have been (amusingly) a 92 Billion dollar paycheck - 1000x as much.

Regardless of how much I dislike the guy personally investors should be running away screaming from this IPO.

So… the asshole who used reddits “unprofitability” as a fig leaf for hamstringing their user base with a garbage API policy just so happens to be the same guy that got paid 25% of the entire company revenue for the last year?

What a Fucking chode.

Frankly a plain topless shot is not in my opinion grounds for anything heavier than a PG rating

Herding cats is a critical job skill in todays high-complexity corporate environments. Get this man onboarded.

Seriously I don’t know how the fbi missed that. Obviously the street painters were in on the hit.

I’m a pretty new Linux user, started using a basic Mint installation on the old desktop I use as part of my stereo/tv setup. All in all couldnt be happier with how easy and flexible it’s been, but one little thing is bugging the crap out of me and I haven’t a clue how to fix.

This setup runs the computer audio through a mojo DAC over TOSLINK (eg optical audio) to an analog stereo amp. Getting it to work when I replaced Win 7 with Mint was plug and play - couldn’t have been easier. The super annoying thing is that it seems that now if the desktop is inactive for more than a few minutes the DAC powers down and needs to be turned on manually (fairly certain it’s when the OS goes to sleep but not sure). When I was running windows with same hardware it would not power down until I did it manually. With the wiring and furniture setup I have it’s kind of a PITA to reach back and turn the DAC on every time I want to use the computer.

I did some cursory internet searches on the issue without much luck. If one of you fine people can think of a solution, it even an avenue of investigation, I’d appreciate it. As I said, I’m new to Linux but not entirely tech illiterate so im willing to poke at it.

Put slightly differently. Eight members of the house can cause total gridlock because the other 427 can’t even countenance taking a single step of compromise - and not even compromise on an actual law - compromise on the person who presides over the process.

The problem isn’t really the eight. The problem is that the process has gotten so fucked we can no longer work around a 1.8% nut job rate.

Edit: math

Some petty ass old boys network tries to strong arm local journalist nerd over some Facebook wall drama about a DUI, fails to consider the size his microphone.

This is the textbook play. If you can’t obfuscate that it happened, you brazenly embrace it as though there is nothing wrong with it.
