Nothing like watching 10 year old tv shows to remind that "social media" WAS once called "social networking." Maybe a minor difference, but I'd like to spend some serious time exploring the linguistic implications of this change and other impacts.
For one, it would seem that that the "networking" part of "social media" has been turned into something dangerous, even straight-up subversive.
I think there was more trust when it was "networking" too. In general, people DON'T trust the "media."

You know the project is being managed like shit when I am able to make the project manager unbox and break down 150 units because there is literally nobody else to help me... even though I am sounding like a broken record with the amount of times I have complained about it. By this point, it is evident that they would rather save labor than my sanity.
You know what, fuck it. I think it's time to dust off that old CV.
Now that NAS has federation fixed, this may be of interest...
