  • PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google

  • I used Swappa to buy my last phone. Not certified, but much cheaper. The condition of phones is "graded," and the sellers have an incentive to keep their reputation on the platform high. I had good luck, the one time I used it, at least.

  • 128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump

    Jump

  • Curious about what time you were referring to when Democrats were better. I suppose they were OK during Obama (ACA was a corporate-friendly solution, there was a huge wealth transfer from the government to financial institutions and corporations, there were tons of drone strikes, and anti-immigration ramped up though). During Clinton they cut social programs significantly, and implemented the draconian three-strikes law.

  • Has anyone pirated their internet?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I used aircrack to gain access to one of my neighbors wifi and used it for about a month when I moved into my first apartment. After I got my own connection, I set up a guest network/SSID that was open,

  • Ideally, children would be educated and trained better to think critically; making people harder to manipulate through emotion. But, pragmatically, yeah, marketing/propaganda strategies are useful and even necessary for progress.

    Your article made me wonder if there were any theories about ethically appealing to emotion, and I found this (psychological/political) theory interesting: https://semihcakir.com/blog/the-affective-intelligence-theory/. As I understand it, it posits that when people have low anxiety, their thinking is just habitual, but when they experience anxiety, they open themselves up to new information.

  • ‘No way to invest in a career here’: US academics flee overseas to avoid Trump crackdown

  • Available jobs are below the worse time during COVID, and I'm pretty sure the number of CS grads has greatly increased (but couldn't find a good chart).

  • Liberal three-percenter lore?

    I mean, I do think non-violent disobedience can be effective, but the state usually makes it violent. State sanctioned protests where most obey most of the rules isn't disobedience. Is a good start though, and I hope things progress (in a good way).

  • What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd?

    Jump

  • So much more than an init system though, which I think is why people don't like it. Personally, the only annoyance I have is I preferred log files over journald.

  • Used Teams for a bit. Seemed fine, just used it like any other IRC clone. Didn't use it for video. Windows has a lot of annoyances; death by a thousand cuts. The Windows ecosystem also sucks: to the point where graphic card and mouse driver installers try to install spyware.

  • We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.

    Jump

  • I think there's a massive oversupply of software engineers world-wide, and investors and executives are heavily pushing offshoring to countries where there are even more engineers that are even more desperate to find work. The ideology or focus of the entire US investor/executive class seems to have shifted as soon as Musk gutted Twitter. I fear this may be another, "these jobs aren't coming back," kind of thing the manufacturing industry went through. Perhaps we'll see a boom of bootstrapped start-ups ran by engineers (or preferably worker-cooperatives), but that's extremely hard to do.

  • Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Try to Woo Back Elon Musk

    Jump

  • He absolutely believes in those things, and has shown multiple times he's willing to light his money on fire to support his ideals. He's idealistic (adjacent to the neo-fascist Dark Enlightenment movement), and not just simply motivated by wealth.

  • 2025 be vibin'

    Jump

  • I think this is only a small part. Interest rates are kinda high. VCs only want to invest in companies with AI exposure because of all the hype. From companies I've interviewed with, offshoring seems to have accelerated dramatically (companies only had or wanted a few US devs to manage larger Indian teams). I've visited career pages of companies working in the business domain I have the most experience with, and all open software positions are exclusively in India.

  • I have over a decade of experience as well. Nobody in my small personal "network" knows anyone that's hiring right now (I hate the fakeness of networking for networking sake, and am not very social, so I don't have much of a network). I've applied to hundreds of job postings over 6 months, interviewed with maybe 6 companies, and rejected usually just because they were also interviewing 10-20 people for the same role, and another person had slightly more experience with a specific part of their stack, or they just liked another person more for whatever reason. I believe all remote job postings get 1000s of applicants, and every one local to me get 100s.

    It all kind of reminds me of when I tried using online dating apps, lol.

  • Idk, the author of "Civil Disobedience" did it. It's a valid resistance method, or just a way to keep yourself morally consistent. Every kind of resistance has a good chance of bringing harm to yourself.

    I personally didn't file one year; kinda just kept putting it off because I knew I wouldn't be able to pay my taxes (was a 1099 worker, and suffered some major financial blows that year); nothing ever happened, but it definitely was a risk. I probably won't do that as an "act of resistance" next year, but will probably try extending as long as possible.

  • We let the rich, who aren't necessarily the smartest people, get too rich, so they gained too much power. Worldwide problem though, as their influence doesn't stop at borders.

  • Kinda weird GPT4-Chan wasn't referenced. A guy fine-tuned GPT-J on 4chan, then deployed bots to write posts. I guess it was more of a stunt than academic or scientific, but training on 4chan improved the model's performance on a truthfulness benchmark.
