IME, there’s a difference between hard work and toil , which the Protestant work ethic is unable to discern. Often the toil is the point . I’m stuck in one of those jobs presently and am aggressively interviewing.

Sounds like “hustle culture”, which IMO is a cancer on the human mind. We’re apex predators; laziness is inherent to our being. Or at least thats my head-canon :)

Especially the media companies! They put artificial limits on the range of acceptable thoughts, acting as both a muzzle and a noose around the neck of the public.

Why don’t we target the 6 (or however many) companies that own 95% of everything in the media? Unless they’re reined-in, progress will be elusive; their megaphone must be silenced!

IME Microsoft offers so many free credits to businesses they wish to entice to their platform it becomes impossible to ignore. The CFO wants free shit. The CTO … also wants free shit. Every one else is left dealing with Azure.

In my head -- and I'm no doctor, believe you me! -- I call this "emotional inertia", which is a phrase I've borrowed from one of the many doctors who has treated me for depression.

Sometimes its hard to see through the anger; apologies for my behavior.

There is no shortage of people to direct my anger towards. This community specifically is responsible for the creation, wide adoption of smartphones and the endless doom-scrolling addiction we’re all subjected to now. My ire is limitless; p

Buddy, I’m a data center tech. I rack & stack and run cable. I am working class. You guys in your nice offices with catered lunches, free drinks, unlimited sick time, RSUs, bonuses, etc? That isn’t working class. Thats the 1% from wher

Obviously it was a concerted effort to reduce the power of tech workers across the industry. Other explanations are disingenuous.

I've had some time to think about my response to this comment, and boy, what a range of emotion goes along with it! There's my disgust at your trivializing of incarceration. There's the eye-rolling disbelief at being told to

No. The despair is what gets you. It only gets you once you realize there are like a dozen people in the world who are legitimately *free*. The rest of us toil to make them happy. This unjust system should be razed to the ground.

I always giggle a little when really smart people forget thugs exist and do what they’re told. If that includes breaking the knees of M people to get what they’re after, then M pairs of knees are gonna get destroyed. This isn’t hard to un

I'm sorry, did you just compare Mitch McConnell block of Supreme Court appointments through Obama's terms to... luck? That's about as disingenuous as it comes.

I hate to say it, but it doesn’t seem like you’re very aware. I grew up eating this greasy stuff; you either dab the grease off with a napkin or fold it and let it drip on the plate. You don’t do what you described unless you’re unaware tha

Some software work requires the same level of engineering as public works like roads, bridges, electrical grids, pace makers, etc. Most software probably doesn't require that level of rigor. IMO, those who work on critical software oug

Have you tried Proton Pass? I only learned of it recently, but it appears to have something similar to one of the 1Password features I use heavily: masked email. I'm in no way affiliated with these folks btw, but I am curious to hear i

When the idea behind a public institution dies in the popular mind, the death of said institution is sure to follow. Spez has managed to kill the proverbial goose that lays the golden eggs. When Jun 30, 2023 comes to pass and the most popul
