Microsoft should never have been allowed to buy LinkedIn. It should be split off.

Telling people “use more ai” was always a profoundly stupid direction. “Ship more stuff faster, use AI if it helps, get paid the same” would be anti-labor but at least sensible.
If selling widgets the customer probably doesn’t care if you used a screwdriver or a drill. They just want their widget. Mandating drill usage is stupid.


Literally everyone saw it coming.
Many people aren’t paying attention. Many people are like pathologically gullible.
The average person just… if you’re smart and capable, imagine being drunk. Being drunk all the time. That’s the baseline. Myopic, impatient, emotional.
Maybe if we had better education and less capitalist hellscape people could be a little better.
I’m not here to watch a movie. I’m here to take this axe and hit monsters with it.
I’m sure bloodborne has a very deep story. I had a great time just hitting stuff with that axe and occasionally shooting things. That’s the bulk of the content.
We are the weird ones. But the only thing that changes people mind is in-group pressure. If people trust you, they’ll at least humor you. Plant those seeds.


People may have heard of these things, but I don’t think most people could give an accurate description of what they are.
Most people don’t know, aren’t paying attention, and don’t understand. It’s our thankless task to try to educate and convince our less savvy friends.
I read that’s why they did this: to force people to use it wirelessly. Not sure that’s really a big win. Wired mice are just fine with me.
If I was magically in charge, I would make it so if you got an unwanted text or call you report it and the phone company has to pay you like $10.
They don’t deal with this problem because they only care about profit.


People mandating return to office are climate criminals, all. They should be sentenced to picking up litter and other community service for the rest of their lives.
I remember talking to this one woman who was like “I don’t get polyamory and non-monogamy. Why don’t you just cheat?”
Because I have standards and care about other people, which seems not to be true for many people.


I’m reminded of that post that showed all the people in the “boycott cod” group playing call of duty.
The bulk of video game players seem to be feckless marshmallow eaters.


I’m happy with my linux machine. Consoles would have to be a lot cheaper to be tempting. Or I’d have to make a lot more money.
“there’s toxic, radioactive, sludge all over the front yard! What the fuck this is terrible! We need to get rid of that”
“There’s a huge pile of old tires in the back yard, too.”
“Yeah that’s no good. At least my kids can play on it like a jungle gym. The sludge though, we need to fix asap”
“So you love tires and garbage??”


Wages are not up. I’m not going to spend that much money on a redundant toy. Pay me more then I’ll think about it.


The whole venture capitalism thing is bullshit. It’s just vibes and rich man hubris.


Is this happening on android, too?


Not in any way I can discern! She’s in the planning meetings but her entire role seems to be sharing her screen so people can tell her what to click on. (This is excruciating to witness. It is so slow.)
Sometimes she’ll say “remember to check your capacity!”, but two other people on the team say that too.
She seems to be entirely non-technical, too, so she doesn’t have much input on any of the discussion. The inter-team stuff is handled by two other people. (A lady of importance whose title I don’t know, and some sort of business analyst)


The place I work at I wouldn’t say is “over staffed” but it is maybe “wrong-staffed”.
They have a full time “scrum master” and from what I can tell all she does it share her screen so people can awkwardly tell her which tickets to click on, and she calls on people in order during the morning meeting. That’s a whole-ass job. Meanwhile, devops is like crying blood because there’s like 2 of them managing decades of systems, and no senior engineering roles have been backfilled after people left for years.
I use keepassxc. It does the job.
