Socialism doesn’t just seem like a good idea, it’s pretty much the only possible future that doesn’t end up with 99% of humanity suffering horribly.

The idea of everyone being able to work to make the means to survive has a rapidly approaching shelf life, most companies won’t employ humans over whatever tech is on the horizon as soon as it’s cheaper. The areas that remain habitable due to climate change will shrink

I do not know why this isn’t treated as a more pressing issue

Everyone keeps telling me “you’ll understand when you’ve got one”

I’m thinking that’s a pretty irresponsible gamble

Genuinely I love a good pixar film on a hangover day, and I had literally no idea this film existed

Dune 2 was great though

I wish there was a Google translate for memes

Got no idea what’s going on here

That’s a weird emoji to use for elixir

GIGO

…I feel like openssh has a much larger attack surface than a simple binary.

If you’re going to this extent already, you may as well jump on the run0 approach systemd is introducing.

oh no, I can hear rumbling

The internet has broken my brain.

scnr is a new one on me and in an attempt to figure it out, my brain did not land on the now rather obvious “sorry, could not resist” but “skibidi cap no rizz” as some kind of ironic initialism

I’m gonna go and find some grass now

LG do some digital signage displays you could probably use, but you’re gonna struggle if you want anything above a 60hz refresh rate IIRC.

The venn diagram of flagship consumer device features and commercial displays is pretty much two mutually exclusive circles.

I wanted the same, but ended up just going for a smart TV on my last upgrade. It’s not that I couldn’t find anything within my budget, I just couldn’t find anything with the picture quality features I wanted. So please, do let me know if you have better luck

You don’t need to be skilled in something to get enjoyment out of it

Likewise you don’t necessarily get enjoyment out of something just because you’re skilled in it.

Probably a several-way bet on trump winning a presidency, suggesting everyone inject themselves with bleach and then staging a coup, Britain shitting the bed, deciding to leave the EU, manifesting £60bn of debt and shocking the Queen to death, Russian war in Europe, a global pandemic killing millions getting turned into political football, the Taliban taking over Afghanistan again, several of the big names in 2016 dying, a trend of people wanting to eat laundry capsules & idk Alec Baldwin shooting someone.

I reckon a quid on that would net me enough to buy an island with a mansion on it

Fuck me, have we had a bad decade

I’m sorry, are you telling me you’re only subscribed to around 10 communities?!

I’m getting close to 1,500 😳

I’ll add to the other person who replied:

Most work in this industry is done in teams, if you can’t effectively communicate and get on with your team members, you’re gonna have a bad time.

It’s even baked into the hiring process everywhere I’ve worked, most of the time an organisation would prefer to take a lower skill candidate if they seem like they’d get on well with everyone Vs a highly skilled candidate that would rub people up the wrong way.

It’s a lot easier to fill gaps in engineering ability compared to coaching someone how to behave around people

Yeah I think there’re a few names I’ve started to recognise as regulars.

Not sure if they’re literally in every thread or if I just have a load of interests cross over with them

I’m a software engineer

You’re not getting anywhere above entry level in this industry without social skills

I don’t know if this is a new meme format or not, but I’ve enjoyed seeing it on my feed today

Have you ever seen those videos of arbitrary code execution on a Gameboy with TAS tools? Where it spams every button for like 10 mins?

I’m now imagining a hypnotist flicking his pendulum around like it’s a yoyo

Apple is the manufacturer who makes the biggest hoo-ha over privacy, yet they gave user data to the police 90% of the time (Google was surprisingly lower at 80%)

Plus if you have a subscription to a mobile cellular network, as basically everyone with a phone does, that will also be constantly tracking you (and I believe also directly available to the police).

That’s all without going into whether you trust every single third party app on your phone and every website you visit.
