Greece re-introduces the 6 day work week... It used to be the standard. Y'know, in the 18th fucking century

someone tried to sell me a fucking AI fridge the other day. Why the fuck would I want my fridge to "learn my habits?" I don't even like my phone "learning my habits!"

2 were self employed, running their own businesses, one was fucking fishing, and one "cuts fabric" part time.

Show me a corporate desk slave that a) lives that long, b) works that long and c) doesn't resent their entire existence, and I might buy into this obvious fucking farcical corporate propaganda piece.

Fuck you, eat the rich.

(Not you, Op, the author)

you had me at "emotional support fish"

those running Facebook groups routinely find that their content isn’t even being shown to those who choose to follow them thanks to Meta’s outright abusive approach to social media where the customer is not only wrong, but should ideally have little control over what they see.

inhales deeply YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER!!! YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!!!!

It astounds me how many people STILL don't understand this

so I've just giving it a quick test vs google with the query "open source chromecast alternative"

the first result for both is a reddit post about NymphCast

it's the rest of the results that are interesting though.

Google has a ycombinator news article about NymphCast and then decends into the usual "17 best chromecast alternatives in 2024" rubbish

Kagi on the other hand lists the github for NymphCast, and then goes on to list others... mirrorCast, pyCaster, free Cast, an article on using a raspberry pi as a chromecast alternative.

obviously this is only anecdotal, and very unscientific, but it's got me interested for sure! Gonna bookmark it and see how it goes

I prefer flipping that number on it's head. 15%. They delivered 15% of what they promised and are now saying "fuck it."

It's the equivalent of writing your name on the exam, and then sitting there doodling for the rest of the time.

what he's really saying is you won't be able to vote anymore

And the wrong fandom! Star Trek has always been about diversity and inclusion

"Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass"

Psh, I'm already doing that! I'm using smoke signals to write this right now!

Serious response: How would a movement like that spread awareness of itself?

Margaret Elaine Hamilton (née Heafield; born August 17, 1936) is an American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo program. She later founded two software companies—Higher Order Software in 1976 and Hamilton Technologies in 1986, both in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Hamilton has published more than 130 papers, proceedings, and reports, about sixty projects, and six major programs. She invented the term "software engineering", stating "I began to use the term 'software engineering' to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process."

On November 22, 2016, Hamilton received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from president Barack Obama for her work leading to the development of on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo Moon missions.

Huh, didn't know about her! She sounds like a badass lady!

have you seen what people can do with makeup? The prince didn't stand a chance!

@[email protected] has a distinctive profile picture, and I see them everywhere. Also I suspect I know @[email protected] IRL, but I'm not certain.

What I wouldn't give to be able to use that last line in a professional setting sometimes.

I did this once.

I'm about 8 years older than my brother. So when he was about 6, and I was about 14, I had this habit of holding him around the back of his neck. Kinda thumb on one side, rest of the hand on his shoulder on the other side, never hard, or choking him, but it gave me good leverage to make sure he didn't get lost and/or into mischief, particularly when we were in a shop or something.

So anyway, we're in this shop, and we're looking around, and I hear my mom yell out "Kraiden, get your brother, we're leaving." So I grab my brother, and start leading him to the exit... except he isn't coming... so I pull a bit harder and say " come on, mom says we're leaving." Still nothing, so I tug a little harder " Let's go! Mom's gonna get angry!" Nothing! So I look down.

NOT MY BROTHER!!! Some kid, on his tippie toes, with my hand around his neck, absolutely REFUSING to take a step, probably out of sheer terror! Whoops! Did not feel good. DID NOT LOOK GOOD!!!

Apologized profusely and left as quickly as I could! They still give me shit about it years later.

Net neutrality is the status quo, it's not trying to "solve" anything

"tracking" of users, which makes it sound slightly more ominous than what it really is.

No, it makes it sound like exactly what it is.

I suspect it's actually worse there. This guy has a series called "China fakes everything" which is worth watching
