After ArriveCan it's no surprise that something like this would come out calling for them to look at costs on these contracts.

Although with the amount of tech debt in the government any IT work will be an uphill battle and no politician wants to pay to cut down tech debt. So I don't see a way out for them at the moment.

Definitely feels like a downturn but I can't help but wonder why they point to office space as such a large concern. Unless there was major offshoring going on however that was left out of the article it seems.

T.O. added 63,800 tech talent jobs between 2017 and 2022 — the second-most of any city in the continent, after only San Francisco — but our massive glut of empty office space post-lockdown has been a cause for concern.

Is there any mental health treatment effective enough to remedy seeing this stuff for 8 hours a day? I can't see a scenario where you can walk out of that job unscathed unless you're a psychopath.

I think r/privacyguides handled this well by starting their own instance. The idea of sitting on a magazine/community name doesn't make much sense when you can simply roll your own instance.

I for one don't mind a change in management as I go between different instances anyhow. It's not like Reddit was known for having the best mods in every sub.

Great read, warnings like this should be added to the conversation as long as federation with Meta is brought up. Especially for non-technical users or new users who haven't seen embrace, extend, extinguish before we will need some way to let them know what is on the other end of federating with large companies.

Sadly that's exactly who Meta wants, is people who don't care about the underlying system and they I'm sure will spend much more convincing those users that federation with Meta is a good thing.
