lol yeah I didn’t know what to do … it’s already in “The Onion” community, so I thought putting [The Onion] in brackets would be too much.

I guess they’re all paying Trump to make sure a Lina Khan will never get there …

We hired a DBA that put a read lock on a production database table and went out to lunch.

I’m a software engineer and you got any sources for this? We use ChatGPT and Copilot and stuff and it helps but it doesn’t seem as dire as what you’re saying from what I can see? At least not yet.

Salesforce overhired during the pandemic like everyone else and is now selling AI as their efficienc boost or whatever.

So like, to impress their shareholders that they’re cutting the fat? Aren’t they going to lose time retraining?

Or do you mean by hiring a new class, like they’re getting rid of workers for cheaper one?

They have guns to protect against corrupt governments and from what I can tell … they’re using it to protect the corrupt …?

I love going to the airport three hours early for my delayed flight in a packed airport with no place to sit! /s

Fearmongerers have put a stigma against it. You’re one of those “sheeple” that gets “vaccinated”. What’s horrible is a lot of fearmongerers themselves mask up privately and get vaccinated.

Sad that we can’t pull together. It makes me think that we’d never be able to outlaw things like smoking indoors again. These guys would politicize it and say it’s against their freedoms.

Unlike the author though, I’ve never really been made fun of for wearing a mask. I live in the GTA and you see quite a few. In Alberta I guess it could be different or people are just saying things behind my back.

I dunno man, whistleblowers aren’t getting good treatment from what I see. Two got “suicided” last year from Boeing and OpenAI. The two Theranos whistleblowers were treated really poorly. I felt so bad for them. They’re doing talks on ethics and stuff and I only wish them the best. They stood their ground on what they believed in.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is my favourite Christmas movie.

TIL betraying your fellow man makes you a hero. /s

As harsh as it may sound, we must acknowledge that perhaps this British man was not meant for our world

Brexit means Brexit lads. Time to pack it up.

Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it “manufactured discontent”.

I’m a dual citizen from the UK/Canada.

I feel the same way after Brexit. I felt a huge sense of dread and my coworker said to me, “we work in a high paying position and we’re men, we’re mostly going to be okay. The people that voted for Brexit have just f*cked themselves and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

I do feel a lot of animosity to any Trump supporter and I feel that’s warranted. I don’t care to elaborate further. I’m thinking of dropping social media for the next six months because there’s a lot of shit going on that I have no control over and I can’t change.

It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

To clarify, I mean Meta couldn’t be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.
