People who pollute the earth should have to fix the damage they do. Failing that, they should pay heavy fines.

Idiots and liars, I assume.

if he does, that’s pretty much ww3

So I don't want to like die in nuclear fire but if a foreign power toppled the US government and tried+convicted all the Republicans of crimes against humanity, that doesn't sound so bad.

Labor should organize. There's no cosmic law that says we need to use AI and treat labor like shit. It's just a handful of rich assholes, and they're just people

I was going to make a joke about how that doesn't sound child friendly, and about how people would sometimes hide their porn in a folder named innocuously

Going further on this tangent, this made me remember specifically Baldur's gate 2 (two), the ambient noise when you're outside the copper coronet. It's people sounds- talking, the occasion laugh or shout. It always made the place feel alive and interesting to me in a way car noises don't.

If they won't use signal or similar then they're kind of shitty, but sometimes with friends and family that's how it is.

I've known several people who moved from QA and testing to developer roles, but usually as an internal transfer.

Most recruiters and management don't know shit about fuck when it comes to technical details, so it's not surprising a lot of them think "Oh the guy who knows how software works and how to handle edge cases? No, we don't want him"

prohibits gatherings of more than 20 people on open land where the music played consists wholly or predominantly of “a succession of repetitive beats”

This is a monstrous law and everyone involved in its passage should be barred from politics and positions with decision making power.

Fuck test automation, it’s a fucking trap get out of it as soon as you can

lol.

Meanwhile, the org I work at has no test automation, so things that should be trivial require hours of tedious, error-prone, manual testing. Also they break stuff and don't find out until after it's merged.
