I was joking around about what happens is Trump comes out in drag...well...uh...do all the maga homophobes start giving each other blow jobs for Trump now?

What Trump does at this point doesn't matter. His cult is way too far up his anus to care. I think he could literally walk out in drag, shoot someone point blank, holding Ivanka's sonogram of her abortion, and wrap himself in a Russian flag and his supporters would come up with a story about how it's the most American thing ever.

By anytime, it'll be hidden in a hot fix 6 to 12 months from now.

There's not a road high enough to keep us above the bog of shit that is the maga cult.

I wish he'd just owned it at this point. Trump supporters are garbage. They're morally corrupt racist cultists voting for a charlatan.

They defend Trump calling huge swaths of people stupid rapist murdering criminals and killing his political opponents outright

Garbage is a much lighter term than I'd use these days.

I don't get that...Why...why do we fucking constantly pander to these nut jobs.

I fought with Ubuntu for a weekend trying to get it to run my game library. I failed.

I will give it a swing again when steam stops W10 support.

It W10 for gaming and Linux for everything else at this point.

Imagine being on the YouTube ad team...that has to be the most depressing team in tech history. Your whole existence revolves around peddling ads before people can watch the ads they want.

That's easy...the US needs to asset imminent domain on starlink. You don't fucking blackmail the government.

I doubt the core of this is any social awakening...the platforms are simply unusable due to the amount of scams, bots, and spam.

Also, paid models simply won't work in this sector. Attractive people simply don't need the apps.

“I know what I mean when I share with you that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander-in-chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said.

I really only have obscenities at this point. Lots of them...maybe all of them.

Using W11 today, that's my first thought too...It's just ad after ad for Microsoft services. You will fucking install O365 or Microsoft will kill a kitten.

others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.

That is never the answer. If your business isn't retaining people because the party culture isn't party enough...you've got way bigger problems...and it's probably leadership.

It is...but they need to highlight it to investors now.

In this case, it's not a lack of engineers. Taiwan leadership burned through their staff too quickly.

I've run into that a lot (mostly with India, but I'd assume it's Eastern society as a whole). Leadership isn't used to being questioned. There's a very clear hierarchy that must be respected at all costs. I think it comes from the caste systems possibly. When US engineers roll in and propose changes, they're dealt with swiftly and brutally.

(If you want to get philosophical about the culture difference, it's why the US comes up with big ideas, and why Asia is so much better at execution).

There's just an expectation that workers march in lockstep to the death, and US workers simply, culturally, are not like that. Especially not when they have valuable skills they can get paid for somewhere else.

Go look at Glassdoor for TSMC, it's not a pretty picture.

The US has enough engineers...no one wants to pay for them or put up with their whining.

Lol...wtf is this trash article...Netflix is struggling to survive. Bullshit, they made 12B profit last year.

The article makes it out like all the big players are at a loss...they're not...they brining in Bs in profit.

The price hikes are greed, and of course the consumers will pay it.

I thought it was a really good representation of the OpenAI search engine.

Uh...Did you actually read the article before you posted it?

Her capstone work so far has been moving 5 million dollars in a budget of 3T. That's really it...the rest of the article is fluffy feel good conjecture.

I like AoC, but pretending the progressives are getting things done is not helping. We're in dire need of change and the R's / Conservative D's have a stranglehold on making it not happen.

Your relationship with management is always adversarial. They might put sugar and spice on it so you don't see it, but they are not your friend.

You sound like you've never been laid off.

It's terrifying if you consider the norm. Trump has something like 70+ felony counts, arguably the worst orator in history, and a verified rapist.

He's still getting around 35-40% support consistently.

It's fucking terrifying how good the Fox propaganda machine is.

I'll dissent. I like the karma system. It gives me a quick read out of who's a troll and who isn't.

I don't care about post karma so much, but the comment karma was an interesting stat.

Edit: An important caveat. We MUST keep downvotes visible. MUST. Having just a positive score breeds absolute insanity.

This is going to be the new war on drugs. The private prisons were being emptied, so they needed a new supply of bodies.

JD knew what he signed up for. It's being Trump's bitch and not certifying the election results.

He's the cushion for pushin in this election.

I don't get it...Unity just forced the entire development community to use Unreal. The pricing structure isn't even close between the two.

At 200k downloads at 1$ a pop, unreal is still free...Unity is $40k.

But these people who are getting paid to humanise AI are fantastic opportunists. Sure, it's not a great job, but they have effectively recognised a new seat at a moment when we're redefining the idea of productivity.

That's fucking soul crushing.

We just fired you to hire this machine, however, if you'd like to stick around and edit for it, we will pay you 1/4 to 1/2 your current rate.

Jesus...fuck that guy.

I concur, but damn it's a great start to a novel.

The Democratic Party held 57 primaries and caucuses; voters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories had their say, as did Democrats abroad. Joe Biden won 87 percent of the total vote.

The fuq? There weren't any challengers except for a guy with a brain worm. We didn't have a primary, and now we are seeing the consequences of not having a primary.

Pbpbpbp...agile fails fast by design.

The counter from the article is you need a specification first, and if you reveal the system wasn't going to work during requirements gathering and architecture, then it didn't count as a failure.

However, in my experience, architects are vastly over priced resources and specifications cost you almost as much as the rest of the project due to it.

TLDR...it's a shit article that confuses fail fast with failure.

Linda Noble, now 62, from Barnsley, was used to putting on a suit and make-up. In 2020 she was a senior officer in local government, scrutinising governance in the fire service and the police service.

Then Covid struck and she was working from home.

“I loathed it. I missed the communication - going into work, someone would make you smile,” she says.

Professional Karen pissed no one was there to listen to her Karen.
