Petered - A Working Library #psychology #career

The logic of career pressure also offers a compelling twist to the Peter Principle. The Principle posits that individuals in hierarchical organizations are promoted until they reach their level of incompetence, where they can no longer perform effectively and cease to advance. In contrast, our logic shows how these individuals may surpass this point and climb the hierarchy even further. Career-pressured individuals often take on high-risk, labor-intensive, or morally contentious tasks. By loyally executing the organization’s dirty work, they can reestablish their value, regain competitiveness, and even outpace peers who were previously ahead of them. Alternatively, they may resort to sabotaging superiors or higher-ups by making false allegations or revealing secrets to create vacancies above them and forcibly advance their careers.

I wish tech companies knew more about me | exotext #internet #privacy

Using Google Chrome, logged into my Google account, I searched for info about Google AI plan usage limits, got an AI-generated response with a link to the help page, clicked it and ended up, logged out, on a Finnish-language landing page (because I'm located in Finland).

My user account, system locale, browser locale, and keyboard settings are all set to English. I am logged into Chrome and all Google services.

I travel to Germany every few months, and lots of services that I've been using for years suddenly decide I speak German.

Jailbreaking my car's navigation system just so I can change the time | nns.ee #copyrights

Author spent an hour hunting for a "set time" option that simply didn't exist without an SD card, then reverse-engineered a 2011 TomTom head unit to discover the entire settings menu was locked behind DRM—all to avoid paying €60 for a navigation card he didn't need.
