These jobs are not hard on the back, they are hard on the soul. Tilling a field can feel rewarding at the end of the day. Dealing with the living nightmare that is most Walmart shoppers is soul crushing. Your viewpoint is rather callous. Ju

Pretty intellectually dishonest to ignore the massive amount of “undocumented” immigration happening in the US. Nobody absorbs more immigrants. Full stop.

Zero sympathy for Reddit and devs. I solved the hostile front end issue by never looking at Reddit anymore. You can't really trust that website anyways due to past privacy problems: https://www.theverge.com/2016/11

This is one of the reasons we migrated away. It's pretty easy to go from 20.04 --> 22.04 without having to reinstall your OS. I have taken long lived machines from 18.04 --> 20.04 --> 22.04. The idea that EL charges money with

Yup. I was working on a migration to CentOS ~8.2 before we got rugpulled. Took the opportunity to move to Ubuntu/Debian. If we have to do all this work, might as well change distro's.

Yup. As long as this crowd can keep making their mortgage payments they will never really be motivated to sell and move into a larger home. This will keep inventory low on what used to be called "starter" homes for likely the rest

They will just outsource and deal with the time zone issues. For now they have the best of both worlds.

Sorry, no bailout without ownership. Go borrow money against a percentage ownership of the companies. This is getting absurd at this point. SV arrogance finds a new high water mark.

It’s not. I know people that that had nothing, moved to the US and now own multiple homes now after doing well in tech. Life in the US is not easy, but it seems like upward mobility is still easier than most of Europe. Sure it’s great in Eu

I bought one oculus quest 2 while their site was blowing up during preorders. They shipped and charged me for 3. Nothing showed up on the order page or confirmation email. I didn’t notice the 3 charges until 3 of them were at my door. A tot

This will result in an immediate ban by Airbnb. I got screwed by Oculus and spent almost half a year getting my account back after a chargeback ban. Don’t ever chargeback big tech. You will lose every time.

The US is a net food exporter. What you are saying is propaganda, not fact. The US is the largest food-Aid donator. The US has shipped millions of pounds of food around the world to feed people… for free. We are talking billions a year in s

Sorta doubt it in already HCOL areas. Many of these grandchildren do not own a home. They will move in. There will be random 'old people' communities in Arizona that will get totally wrecked in value, but the expensive areas will

For many, $1500/mo is living in the streets level of income. I have family that collected early and get like $900/mo. It's grim. Medicare/Medicaid is not free at all. There are lots of things that cost you additional mon

Yeah the worst part is they don't have to clearly/obviously disclose how much they are taking out in fees. It just vanishes from your account unless you actually look into it. 401k's funds sometimes have fees that are multipl

I do 99% of my PC gaming with a Steam Deck. All the major games I am interested in "just work." If Elden Ring and most/all of my fav indie games work, I don't see why I will need a windows PC ever in the near future. I w

I know somebody that was in the first round of these layoffs about 6 months ago. This person still has not found another job. It's pretty hard to find a job when everyone has a hiring freeze. I suspect some of the 40-somethings that ar

Trying to make this about race is lame. A weak straw man. (Reasonable and educated) People in the US don’t care about the race of TikTok upper management, they care about the influence of a hostile government that is openly waging a fourth-

Go interview there. At a high enough level everyone you interview with is in mainland China. They are a Californian company only in name. The guys running the company are in China. They don’t even do a good job hiding it.

Yeah this is going to lead to me cancelling as well. Amazon takes up to 6 days now for “prime” shipping. Amazon is a garbage company that you can’t count on the items not being fakes/knockoffs.

I don't really find their modern day philosophy (in terms of a society/country) all that enlightening. The earth is full so we should tolerate governments like the CCP/CPC? China's style of government is dysfunctional an

I bought a copy of ‘Tropic Thunder’ for exactly this reason. One day it will be pulled from all streaming platforms due to RDJ playing a black man.

Sorry no. There are people smarter and more cunning than those three that had worse outcomes. Most generational wealth that is not protected by a standing army rarely lasts a few generations. A lot of lasting generation wealth is from crony

Congrats for getting out of that trap. Now for the next one. Pay off the mortgage. In my opinion you are not "free" until some bank or landlord cant take your housing away from you.

Imagine how the folks feel that have been perma-priced out due to real estate speculation and near-zero interest rates raging on for years.

This didn't happen as part of some organic process. They use force to keep the system rigged in their favor.

It's fair because Epic is part owned by a company (Tencent) that is owned/ran by a government (The CCP/CPC .) that bans such things for their children, but are OK with it in the West for their profit. But yeah, Roblox and CoC
