Paying for the privilege of using AI to sift through the vast bleak sea of AI generated garbage. What a time to be alive!

Same kind of dictator mentality I'd expect from Musk himself honestly. Doesn't fix the problem because he's insulted that someone else pointed it out. Cutting off his nose to spite his face. He's good at that. I'm really surprised the board still tolerates his shit.

When this happens I tend to start just throwing stuff out there because then all of a sudden they know what they DON'T want. Helps to narrow it down.

"Googlers assigned to the building are making do with Ethernet cables, using phones as hotspots, or working outside, where the Wi-Fi is stronger."

How the fuck is a person that writes articles for a living not aware of the phrase "making due"? What goes through their mind when they write out "making do"? How the fuck does that make any sense to them?

I hate to be that guy, but come on. It's literally your job.

Edit: Now it's my job to admit that I was pretty damn wrong. Thanks chryan for posting this: https://www.grammar.com/make_do_vs._make_due

evergreen ,

Yeah looks like I may be wrong about "make do" being incorrect. Didn't know the spelling was changed in the 40s. I've always seen it written as "due". Seems like an odd word to use though. Wouldn't due make more sense? Like you're able to meet the dues that are required?

evergreen ,

Lol yes. This modern spelling and technology is too much for me.

evergreen ,

Yep, still hate it... I realized now that make do is the accepted agreed upon spelling.

evergreen ,

Good point on the difference in context. I guess that's how I've seen it used mostly.

evergreen ,

Oof. Yeah, I'd doubt they pay very much there, probably have to take what they can get. Maybe I should apply🤪

Was the dew you made of the mountainous variety? Did you have to make do with what you had in order to make due on your rental payment? Am I doing this right?
