Unfortunately most of the more “conservative” instances became highly toxic and so most other instances have defederated with them.

Thing about rock bottom is you think you’ve hit it but then you find that you have a magical pickaxe that can dig past rock bottom

I mean to be honest I wouldn’t say that we “die” at all when you sleep… your mind is extremely active while sleeping, it’s just disconnected from motor control.

it's okay to admit both are true lmao. we can have developing fascism in america AND china can be a dictatorship. They're not mutually exclusive

Using two different y axis scales is really not good datavis. Can cause a bunch of misleading conclusions.

Edit: not that I’m saying the correlation in the graph is unfounded. I’m just saying it’s better to adhere to good datavis practices so you don’t open yourself up to this type of criticism

Absolutely shocking to me that a multi billion dollar company would abuse their workers

I feel like this is well described lmao

Why not?

Yes all Americans are loud obnoxious and arrogant 🙄

Gamer hate woman

True enough, but we all have different skills, and if OP has android skills but not webdev skills, then they'd just be making they can make!

Bro this is useless gatekeeping.

This is something that I feel like Brave New World got a lot more right. In that book, people’s pleasures are their prisons.

I don’t really have a direct reply to these ideas but I would like to point out an interesting example of a business model that addresses some of these concerns, that is the worker cooperative, where the workers have some portion of ownership of the company, either in revenue sharing or decision making.

Holy god my bad

Edit: You know initially I agreed with you, then I realized that your suggested comment accomplishes essentially the same thing.

Anyone would be able to infer from my comment that I don’t support the way that billion dollar companies are allowed to abuse their workers. It implicitly supports the idea that they should not be allowed to. Your suggestion contributes about as much to the discussion as my comment does, and to say that they are meaningfully different implies that people can’t interpret sarcasm.

Both my comment and your suggestion are saying something obvious, but so is the article. That’s the joke.

I’m cis so I obviously have never had to contend with whether my field of interest represents me but, the way I see it, part of the reason you see the “trans girl software engineer” meme is that software engineering is one of those fields where for the most part, if you have the skills and you produce good work, then you belong. I think if you want to be a software engineer, you should go for it, and don’t let a perceived lack of representation put you off of it. <3

Yeah, any time I see one of these “big ideas!” I’m super skeptical… our solutions aren’t going to be easy innovations. They’re going to be hard, boring fixes.

It’s one of those things where it has become a word in and of itself because so many people use it that way

Yeah but most of the time if you are just writing a fresh page it’s gonna be in that orientation, especially like back in school where it might be for an assignment or something, so more often than not it would be like that
