This feels like a trap. “Everyone have the day off……..but I’ll be in the office” keeping an eye on who still comes in 🧐
‼️ Logitech is giving all ~7,000 employees, interns included, a day off to play GTA 6.
CEO Hanneke Faber will spend launch day, 19 November, gaming in the office.
"It's time to retire the stereotype that gaming is a waste of time," she says.

I find this story deeply sad and tragic.
Mass hysteria (which is nothing but wrong beliefs running riot through a population like a virus) do real and lasting damage to people and communities.
This lady helped block a data center that would have brought in tens of billions in local taxes, that would have occupied an empty lot that used to be a shopping mall 24 years ago. The community is struggling. They lost a Six Flags. The Washington Commanders are leaving.
After helping block this data center, over imaginary problems like poisoning local water (that really, literally, does not exist and is not a real problem) she asked her struggling community to make a roof fund to fix her father's house.
I give her that maybe the noise *could* have been a problem if there were diesel generators but it could have been addressed with simple requirements from the community such as sound walls or putting the generators further out and all of it it would have brought real growth to a struggling area. That's how basic democracy should work. Compromise and realistic solutions.
Her father compared her to Medger Evans, a civil rights leader and WWII veteran who fought to end segregation and who was tragically assassinated.
This is just an insane comparison and it's emblematic of what happens when we're in the midst of mass hysteria, where people imagine they're heroes in some cosmic struggle with no bearing on reality.
A lot of folks are posting snarky takes on this. There is nothing to laugh at here. This is a total and complete tragedy at every level.
And that is the nature of mass hysteria.
In the Satanic Panic in the 80s, a couple went to jail for 30 years for "transporting children to Mexico to perform dark masses and so Satan could molest them" with literally *no evidence* because "Satan made the evidence disappear."
This is the nature of mass psychogenic illness.
It's born of fear and irrational, insane beliefs and when these false beliefs take root in a society, they do real lasting damage to people's lives.

Reminder that the “datacenters use too much water” problem is fake.
The 'news' are finally starting to realise what a closed loop is......which is what basically every DC actually runs. They seem to think they just suck up water all day long 🤣
