Pirate their shit.

Idk man, I wouldn't call bowery rough or cheap by any stretch - 20 years ago, during covid, or now. For rough during covid or now, head to east new york. For cheap, head deeper into the other boroughs.

While cash like UBI offers flexibility, criticizing targeted aid like food stamps misses the point. These programs are essential safety nets for the most vulnerable. While some misuse might occur – often signaling deeper needs requiring more services, not less food – focusing on that minority ignores the vast majority who rely on this aid to simply survive.

Suggesting it's "unfair" if you don't need specific help ignores the purpose of a safety net. How a society supports those facing hardship is a measure of its character. Worrying about potential misuse at the lowest rungs seems disproportionate when compared to massive government spending elsewhere. Ultimately, denying essential aid based on assumptions about how a few might misuse it is counterproductive and lacks compassion.

Wouldn't be surprised if the whole post was actually written up by AI as a "subtle" way of promoting the company, fueled by riding out the outrage from hiring managers on linkedin

All they need now is some irl sujimon!

Bob Lazar's company. That's kinda cool.

Why are you trying to shit on the guy and put him down? What's wrong with just having fun and testing it's capabilities? So what if there's a million TD games out there? They wanted to see if it's possible and they enjoyed the experience. Or maybe someone wants to make a personalized version for someone they love, or a million other things.

And what's it matter if someone else made it? Do you make your own bread or milk your own cows? Do you build your own cars?

Like who gives a shit, when the most important thing for 95% of people is, "Can i use this? Can I operate it? What can this do for me? How does this make life easier/better/fun?".

It's also interesting as it shows the reality we're heading towards with hyper-personalized media. Love it or hate it, it's coming.

Obviously you do - enough to respond.

Notepad was even better than dreamweaver. Never touched it and was taught to stay away.

I like your thinking B)

That's fucking brilliant!

That's exactly what the strategy is meant for. It's meant to overwhelm.

East Sea / Sea of Japan

It's Stephen Miller's take on a strategy out of Steve Bannon's playbook - Flood The Zone.

You're fooling yourself if you think they're not doing this for their own ends and that it's an attempt to end an oligarchy rather than have it persist.

I trained a CV model to tell me the temp when I stand in front of the mirror based on if my nipples are hard or not, and how hard or soft they are.

Just got a funny visual of someone going crosseyed and focused on overcoming a challenge in front of them, with a crowd of people cheering them on.

... and the only kind of music that exists are jingles and showtunes

So sick of dealing with Google, between this, the play store, admob, etc. They'll punish you for the slightest things, have zero meaningful customer service/means of recourse, and in many cases don't have a way to even reach out to customer service (admob's email option is visible but throws an error every time you click it). Not to mention, they try to steer you towards their useless "community forums" that sre filled with "diamond users" who just spam copy/paste responses.

If your business depends on their services, you're fucked if you slip up in the smallest way. Have fun trying to get ahold of anyone who can help, unless you're lucky and have a friend who works there.

Side note, they're going to further penalize apps based on performance/ANRs, yet they haven't fixed the issue of admob's banner ads causing performance issues.

It just feels awful. We need more options that can actually help small businesses, not hurt or threaten them.

Eh had em. Still worth it. That's what banding is for.

Worth it. That's sacred ritual time right there.

Apparently, a lot of it can be avoided altogether, as many of the chocolate producing countries in Africa still use leaded gas which gets into the soil.

The title gives the impression that it's pushing back against privately held models. The model isn't openly available?

You have to be psychotic to not use dark mode and prefer light.

Being from NYC, I'd prefer not touching a vending machine that's most likely got piss all over it.

Never connect a personal device to an employer's network, whether it be wifi or VPN.

Never log into personal accounts on an employer's devices (work phone, computer, etc) or networks.

Avoid using a company vehicle for personal needs.

Never say anything you wouldn't say in a higher up's or coworker's presence over slack, email, any communication platform used by coworkers and/or owned/authorized by an employer.

This kind of monitoring happens, all your shit will be pryed on (personal accounts or otherwise), it's very common (in the US), it will be used against you, it is legal (in the US).

This is a warning not just from personal experience, but it's also been the experience of many others.

Germany is one of the only (maybe is the only?) countries that has made this kind of bullshit illegal.

Germany does it pretty well.

Hope these people are aware that your work computer, work phone, work vehicle, email account, slack, etc, and anything sent through an employers network (including personal devices/accounts connected to employer's wifi/vpn) can (and in many cases will) be snooped on, if you live in the US.

If you're in a toxic work environment, don't say shit on or near employer devices or over their networks. It will be used against you. I've heard too many stories of people getting screwed as a result of this at companies small and large, and I've experienced it firsthand. If you need to check something or log into a personal account, do it on your personally owned device and over a non-employer network. If you're at work, use your cell connection directly or through tethering. Employers can legally do this, so cya.

So true. In the same boat with having two of them. Stole 7 years off my life, and took 3 to recover from. It's not worth it.
