Last week, the open-core team chat platform Mattermost announced that “Mattermost Cloud Free will no longer be offered after July 26, 2023.” This likely came as an unpleasant surprise to users on that plan, as less than a month before, Mattermost’s pricing page featured the promise that the Cloud Free plan would be “free forever”. "Free Forever? I'd like you to meet my friend, Free Tools."

Well, they didn't lie. The Cloud Free plan has been free and remains free. It simply won't be offered anymore, but it's still free. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

A Financial Times journalist writes about discovering she’d been surveilled by TikTok. Sounds like, "My pet tiger attacked me. Why?"
|

China, pure and simple. TikTok is wholly owned by a Chinese company, which in turn is beholden to the CCP. This is why the US Government has banned the use of TikTok on any US government owned equipment, including government issued cell phones.

IBM's CEO, Arvind Krishna, says employees' careers could suffer if they work from home.
Krishna told Bloomberg during a Monday interview that although he wasn't forcing his own staffers back to the office, he thought remote workers may struggle to get promotions. If there was a more subtle, yet assertive way to discourage your employees from remote work, I'm not familair with it.

IBM's CEO still hasn't caught up on how the job market works today. Promotions are rarely vertical, they are diagonal: employees move to another company with a higher position. Rinse, repeat.

Regular internet users over age 50 were half as likely to later develop dementia as non-users, a recent study found. "Where is my mind? Way out in the water, see it swimming"

This seems like a prime case of correlation does not equal causation.

Many studies showned that any kind of mental stimulation stave off dementia.

Both. They help sufferers from dementia, and make everyone else demented.

My experience playing with various Chat AIs over the past few weeks is that they are both more and less impressive than you expect!
I.e., some things you expect them not to be abe to do they wow you with. But other seemingly simple things they screw up badly on.
So we ain't gonna be out of work just yet!

Does it fix the significant whitespace problem?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
