Acting US Intelligence Chief Launches Mass Layoffs - Report
Reply in thread
A reminder that Sputnik, CNN, NPR, CBS, NBC, New York Times, BBC, Der Speigel, Le Monde, SkyOne is a state-aligned outlet. Even when a story is true, it’s worth verifying through independent reporting rather than relying on a propaganda source.

I need 4 years of education and 5+ years of experience to work as an engineer to give people something to look at on their phones.
Police need 6 months of training to make life and death decisions and they get a pension and permanent immunity when they fuck up

War never changes
i think the real indictment is how we treat people who refuse to participate and die for the profit of the already rich; the government treats them with imprisonment while the rest of us treat them like a coward for standing up for themselves in thoroughly fucked up system..

i suspect that the intense response from the authorities proves how much of a priority this is for our gov't and i hope that this becomes a trend on the rich.

What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?
intel won't allow its linux drivers to work above wifi 4 speeds in ap mode, so i created a kvm virtual windows machine with pci pass through on the wifi nic plus ip masquerade and now i'm getting wifi 6 speeds in ap mode.

hundreds of people are killed every year in that city and none get this kind of attentions or response; even when they're on camera being killed slowly while everyone watches (eg eric garner).

Have you ever used the "column" command?
i love this person's work; i've been working in the linux sphere for over 20 years but this person always teaches something that's new to me and more helpful than the tools i've been using to get the job done; sed/awk in this case. (plus, the sense of humor also makes it fun to watch).
i wish i were as rich as my fellow software engineers so that i can support her work because i'm convinced we need it in a world where people no longer have the same opportunities i had to learn this kind of tech because their smartphones inadvertently hide needful knowledge in the abstractions that make smartphones work.

WTF is going on with TikTok?
i can understand your confusion: actions speak louder than words; so break it down based on what they did (not what they said) to make it make sense:

What's the longest you've ever had to wait in line to vote? Where in the world?
Houston, Texas. 4.5 hours
The lines are intentional to discourage you from voting

Biden pushes party unity as he resists calls to step aside, says he'll return to campaign next week
Obama, Pelosi, Schumer and 2/3rds if Democrats want him out but he's refusing like an old man whose grown children are trying to take away the car keys before he hurts someone.
Unlike those grown children, Democrats don't hold the same love and care for grandpa to force them to grow a pair of balls to know that it's in everyone's best interest and force the issue to pass.
"Most important election in my life" my ass; all that they have to do is stop helping a genocide and they would win, but no.

the worst part was that it was an elderly employee who couldn't afford to retire.
someone so thoroughly beat down by the system that they can't afford to stop working, helped perpetuate the system that's fucking them over without (probably) ever realizing that they did it.

guide rule
when i was very young, men would wear booty shorts and belly shirts like some women do now; publicly shirtless men was also more common; and, as an adult, i wish i could have appreciated it more than i did at the time.
i hate that prudery has become so en vogue these days with the young.

What's the dumbest way you've seen someone get fired?
The last time I was a team lead, I would sit in on meetings and whenever this one admin assistant was present she would complain about an analyst's appearance saying things like he looked disheveled because his shirt had some wrinkles; but he was very much silicon-valley/california-shabby-chic fashioned for the time.
We got bought out by a bank complete with stereotypical old fashioned management and dinosaur sensibilities from the East Coast. She brought up the analyst again during one of our meetings that included the new management and the analyst was fired the next day.

The Satanic Temple is taking on the Christian right. It may be effective – it’s definitely fun to watch
Reply in thread
clinics in abortion-free states start becoming official Satanic Temple places of worship left and right, complete with minimal decorations and everything, clinic doctors as priests, things like that.
why bother pretending that they're places of worship? religious hospitals and schools don't pretend to be places of worship and they apply their their prejudices anyways; so long as it they don't violate federal law.
just create a satanic hospital with an extremely generous obstetrics wings & laboratories and satanic obgyn schools.
they could even take this a step further and get trans people to identify as satanic and that their trans identification is an expression of religion; protected by law and invalidating any anti trans laws.
they could also apply this to library book bans by saying that the trans and gay books they're banning are texts sacred to their religion and must be displayed like the bible or the ten commandments.
