People openly bragging about being exploited has always been hilarious to me. I’ve been pushing back on bullshit employer things since my first job in my teens.

Yep. When federating with so many instances, nothing is truly deleted unless every single instance honors its removal. That’s just the reality. The nice thing is that as an instance owner, I can see the mod log of everything from the places I federate with. So admins at least have a point of reference to work together. I also have the ability to restore comments and things that were deleted. I’ve never used it because I prefer to stay in sync with everyone else, but I’m 1 person. There are many instances and mine is microscopic.

I think this is at least a good step 1, albeit insanely late, but it needs to be followed with sustained action and reparations. If they use this as a marketing tool like the pessimist in me is expecting, then it’s meaningless bullshit. No amount of recognition will wash the blood off of their hands.

I got it from this company iirc, but I think it was a limited release. If you wanted something similarly cool though, Creep-O-Rama has this one!

It’s funny logging into Lemmy, this being the first post I see, while wearing this shirt.

None of this crap is even consumer tech. They use the consumer as a guinea pig so they can eventually sell it to the military. We are the test subjects and only the idiots are buying.

It’s going to be long and arduous. The US has such massive reach and influence that it’s going to take a long time before it topples. After that, we will probably be stuck in some Peter Thiel wet dream where he tells us Skynet was actually the protagonist and the Nazis had some good ideas.

The industry wants senior engineers but isn’t willing to put in the work to make entry level engineers into senior. If you are considering a comp sci degree, don’t bother. Like the article says, train with cheaper skill-based courses. You may hate AI or not see the value, but if you want to survive in the tech field now, you have to learn how to harness AI tools (and that doesn’t mean writing prompts).

This is the state of tech now. The capitalists once again have managed to suck all of the air and fun out of the room so that they can go live on some compound when things inevitably go to shit because of their irresponsible behavior.

Bankruptcy is a feature for the wealthy, and a horrible last resort for the working class.

We will kick another year off of that if you swear allegiance to Israel.

I should’ve gotten Canadian citizenship while I still could.
