Seven & I Holdings lifted its profit and sales outlook for the current fiscal year, raising hopes that the convenience-store operator's turnaround efforts are taking hold. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/07/09/seven-profit-outlook-turnaround/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #seveniholdings #seveneleven

@shanie appreciate the advice, but that's too much work when we already have enough sysadmin work to keep us busy, which is why I'm looking for managed hosting.

J'ai le menton qui pleure tellement je dégouline 🥵

Your public Instagram photo is now raw material for anyone's AI. Meta's Muse Image remixes public profiles into new images with no consent and no notice. Public Citizen calls it an egregious invasion of privacy and wants Congress to require opt-in first.
