“After all, America does not have a tech worker shortage. The US tech sector fired 260,000 skilled workers in 2023, and more than 150,000 were shown the door in 2024. When Musk and his fellow tech bosses complain that they need more “talent,” what they mean is they need workers who are so terrified of being deported that they’ll accept low wages, sleep under their desks, refuse to talk to union organizers, and, above all, do as they’re told…”
The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.
To turn it off
go to the eShop
go to your profile where your funds and account info is
go down to the bottom of the page
there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”
select the Change
select “Don’t Share”
Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.
I’ve seen this post going around and went “Ah it’s from 2020, I remember I already turned that off.”
Then I turned my switch on this afternoon for the first time in a while and it had an update. And I thought hm. Maybe. I had better just check on that again.
And you’ll never guess what I had to turn off again.
We’re back, folks! FTH is back for be our ninth (!) auction, and there’s lots of good work to be done. (What is Fandom Trumps Hate?)
In this post you’ll find the calendar for the 2025 auction, along with links to some useful information, including this year’s list of supported organizations. (All of these same links can be found in our masthead, but since that’s not visible on mobile we wanted to make them easy to find elsewhere.) You’ll also find dates for our Crafts Bazaar. (wait, the what? Read more at our 2024 Crafts Bazaar page.)
Here is this year’s list of supported organizations. We’ll be posting more detailed profiles of each of them over the coming weeks. We also encourage you to look at the Auction FAQ (which has lots of useful information for people thinking about signing up as creators, as well as dedicated sections on bidding and on nonprofit orgs.) If you’re raring to go, you can look at our bidding policies.
Lastly, in a couple of weeks we’ll be kicking off our newly-revived offscreen activism blog @fthaction. Why not give it a follow?
FTH2025 Auction Calendar
Monday, January 20th: creator signups open for both the auction and the crafts bazaar
Sunday, February 2nd: creator signups close
Friday, February 21st: browsing period begins, crafts bazaar announcement goes live
Tuesday, February 25th, 8am ET: bidding opens
Saturday, March 1st, 8pm ET: auction bidding closes
Monday, March 10th: craft stalls close
Wednesday, March 12: proof of donations due
…and if you’re thinking the gap between the end of signups and the beginning of browsing period looks long: we have also noticed this! In order to accommodate some back-end changes that will help the auction run more smoothly, we’ve given ourselves an extra week to get ourselves set up. We’ve also got some stuff in the works to occupy that time – we’ll say more about that when the time arrives.
Together, we’re going to make sure that there is at least one (1) good thing in the world with the number 2025 attached to it.
Finding out that World Athletics pays $100k every time a new world record is set so so Mondo Duplantis has just been setting it 1cm at a time from 6.17m to 6.25m in the past 4 years is so funny??? Finessing 1 million dollars 1 cm at a time even though he can clearly go higher at one shot???? #respect
Financial scam cause how has he gone and done it a month after doing it
If he has that kind of precision he deserves to be able to do this
When I became freelance, one of my first marketing contracts was fixing my boss’ blog posts and articles that he had ‘written’ with ChatGPT.
It was the single most soul-sucking task I have ever done in my life. I could have ghostwritten it for them faster than it took me to edit it.
ChatGPT would often hallucinate features of the product, and often required more fact-checking than the article was worth.
It is absolutely no surprise that 77% of employees report that AI has increased workloads and lowered productivity, while 96% of executives believe it has boosted it.
The reality is that it’s only boosted the amount of work employees have to do which leads to increased burnout, stress and job dissatisfaction.
