NetApp’s Sandeep Singh: The top challenge is “complexity—inconsistent management, inconsistent automation, inconsistent data security models, inconsistent operational recovery workflows, inconsistent overall user experience.” NetApp’s strategy is to “unify to simplify”

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

What purpose, exactly, is this article fulfilling? The reader gets no benefit of knowledge or understanding. Why was it written?

1

Guy Currier @guycurrier.bsky.social · 6d

So. This is not a case of a headline disconnected from the text. The article really does make the case that words have no meaning; that “calm” and “hellscape” can honestly refer to the same thing.

The range of meanings of these two words don’t overlap

Chris Ingraham @cingraham.bsky.social · 6d

"Depends on who you ask" framing is one of the most grating tics in modern political journalism. Objective reality exists and your job is to describe it.

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 6d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Seems like circle-of-white shit to me. What other uses of Kirk’s photo have caused a ban? Is it just this particular photo and alt text?
