The world needs more “tracker tunes” :D

I get why legalese has to be legalese but also…

(Multiple videos of ICE executing United States Citizens)

“Alleged abuses”

I think these outlets are just too scared to get punished.

I do like Mastodon as a platform, but it seems nobody really bothers to actually use it for communication. Just drop-posting updates on things with zero replies.

Maybe since it doesn’t have all the addiction patterns or algos like other apps do? I’m really not sure.

I was considering going through the hassle of setting up a Mastodon server for me and my family and friends only but… something tells me I’d run into the same problem lol.

…People just seem too busy and tired and scattered on 15 different incompatible social apps and geographic locations to bother with each other anymore. :(

These ICE processing and detention centers need to be flipped around, to process and detain ICE…

Lol I love that ultra-corporate response to people’s ire. “‘We’re Going To Cautiously Move This Forward’”

People outraged at your stupidity? NEVER REVERSE COURSE! Simply “cautiously move forward” and do whatever the frick you want. Lol

Lol I love the almost audible spite in the headline wording.

Glad bro “lived [his] dream” but leaving a recent legacy of empty promises is a bit sour. Feels like he was trying too hard to do some huge visionary monolithic big-business AAAA move when he would’ve likely been happier still making fun indie stuff.

Username… Hopefully doesn’t check out!?!? 🫪

Hehe yeah I guess that’s what I meant. Just making a statement on how software has become I guess, and maybe a bit about how highly permissive licenses might have unintended consequences.

The open source spirit is one of the shining jewels of the human race, but it really sucks that I don’t think any of those “You aren’t allowed to use my code to make the world a worse place” clauses would actually hold up. =\

Oh, I was holding it upside down!

(Lol yes you’re right XD)

Me living in one of these states wondering if I somehow had the resources to move (I don’t), if I should really really hustle along to get move-ready faster (I can’t).

:(

Honestly bidets are super fancy but you could just go with a “bum gun.” Little gentle water sprayer you attach to your toilet line and voila. Got mine for like $20-$30 or something.

Quite incredible. So much that I’m miffed this isn’t a standard expected thing on toilets.

Heehee you can type words, like

:D

Now THAT I gotta see 😂

Oh that’s HORRIFYING and DISGUSTING! D:

It’d be like that rich kid who’s daddy owned the factory in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…but with Big Macs.

Except he’d be doing it with tax dollars.

Or AOC, or Bernie LOL.

“Look, I wrote this neat highly advanced machine vision thing to help people with accessibility needs communicate with loved ones! ❤️. MIT licensed I guess! Let’s make the world better!”

Raytheon, Northropp, Boeing, Microsoft, three-letter-agencies suddenly fork it as a base for their own “projects.”

😐

Still learning git but apparently there’s some “power features”, and, aside from that, it’s the same BS network effect that keeps everyone on all the abusive platforms.

Discoverability, it’s where all the other people already stashed their code, sunk cost, etc…

Siiiigh…

And even though I don’t have have a degree or any certifications…

You must be really good! That’s quite impressive, especially given how many jobs degree-gate just to filter applications so HR doesn’t have to work too hard.

My job is solving business problems.

Sometimes I wish I got dopamine for solving business problems. I’d probably find myself in a lot more situations where people are willing to hand me money. XD

But yeah, software engineering is totally a thing. Like you said, it’s just somebody (hopefully) carefully creating tools to solve particular problems.

Would be kinda cool if we could get People Who Know What They’re Doing™ to just…rebuild stuff from the ground up, untainted by slop. Haha a guy can dream.
