I think the distributed nature of Mastodon keeps government control from being an issue. It would be kind of cool as a space for citizens to ask for assistance or air grievances while giving the politicians an officially owned space for things like announcements.
Hey, that’s a neat image. I’ve seen other ways of visualizing the popular vote on a map but this one looks wonky as hell and I like it.
They didn’t do one in this case, but I have heard stories of these sorts of malicious actors paying people stateside or elsewhere to take the video interviews. I’ve had to do ID checks on video in recent-ish interviews.
It’s 2050. Every computer scientist is named Conway. ChatGPT releases its new version of Conway4, which scrapes every ounce of private medical data we have.
Well, TIL! Darn famous computer scientists sharing last names. This Conway is still an icon.
I cite Conway’s Law (and it’s reverse corollary) multiple times a week. I’m sorry to hear this, but her contributions were many and 85 is not a bad run. I hope she was happy and fulfilled, in the end.
They never took it from me! Animal Well and Dread Delusion are phenomenal experiences just from the last couple of months. Indies are always generating good games, even when AAA is just following trends.
Ugh this sucks, but no, not really. LinkedIn isn’t just a platform, it’s the people on it. No other site exists that will get you the same amount of exposure. There are definitely other sites and non-internet options for networking in general though.
We’re all trying to be SpongeBob, but we’re all subject to being a Squidward some days.
To be fair to you, I thought they were talking about AWS S3 at first and was very confused until I read the article.
There is a lot of nuance to that. If Trump appeals on constitutional grounds, the Supreme Court can choose to hear it. State cases can be appealed to the SC if their interpretation of federal law or the constitution are in dispute. They normally just outright deny hearing most cases decided by state courts. A good chunk of the supreme court is likely to grant whatever the hell he wants though, so I’m not so certain anything that boils down to interpretation is safe.
Ah, good call, I forgot the context. Does this apply if he escalates to supreme court and they grant certiorari?
That wouldn’t be necessary. Presidents have the power to pardon and nothing says it cannot be used on the self.
Oh, oh! I have a more recent example of a cringy militant atheist now, do you need a link? Here ya go.
I’m not disputing that, but the meme kinda is? I guess what I’m getting at is asking where the line is between gross overwork grind culture and taking pride in your work and possibly working a bit more as an investment in that regard. Other people have had some good thoughts here. I think it’s just about watching yourself and your motivations for working to ensure you haven’t fallen into the trap.
I’m in the same boat. Hell, sometimes I can even get into the groove on something useless. It’s more for me though, not for my employer. Wouldn’t the “grindset” people say the same though?
I agree with this in principle (and I know it’s just a meme and I’m taking it too seriously) but how do we still allow for people who take pride in their trade or craft, even if the majority value has been stolen by a megacorp? I work for one of those huge soulless corps. Sometimes, every once in a great while, I enjoy working on something I’ve built. I’ll put in more hours than I have to just because I’m having a good time or whatever. I guess that’s still separate from the “being on my grindset” culture of doing that all the time though.
Idk, thinking out loud here.
Boggy the froggy! I got the plush and was very pleased. Love the paint job!
I’m going to take a different approach than most of the other comments here: you can’t. Microplastics are in the air and a large chunk of it comes from car tire residue. You’re breathing it, likely right now. Research is still in the early phases and we just don’t know how bad it is yet, both from the proliferation and the impact side of things.
