  • Cats are lessons in consent and authoritarians hate consent.

  • Honestly I think engineers of all kinds can benefit from more study of biological systems. As an engineer myself, I find there's a lot of inspiration to be gained by looking at life and understanding how it works. My primary work is controls and learning that biological muscle operates as bang bang control was mindblowing. Like look at the agility and complexity achieved by essentially a fuck load of on off actuators. It shows how far you can go with extremely simple methods and honestly helped me chill the fuck out about making everything perfect.

  • Might I suggest the problem is capitalism. Without the everpresent threat of homelessness and starvation forced on us by the landlords, rampant price gouging of necessary goods like food, and the anti-lottery we all play every single fucking day with our own health, artists wouldn't need nearly so much compensation for their work. Piracy wouldn't matter, or even be required as a concept. I dream of living in a world without capitalism, but we don't. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

  • Try and stop me. I don't even have windows installed anymore.

  • I mean. For me it was the constant forced updates, the adversarial secret config options that may or may not be misdirecting lies that do nothing, constantly forcing edge install, every (forced) update causing worse performance and making the ui shittier, trying to shove one drive down your throat so they can harvest that sweet personal data, forced online accounts, etc.

  • Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man on Wall Street; it belongs to the shareholders.

  • Yeah I agree this seems more like tech debt and possibly a shitty architecture to me, both problems that ultimately come from poor management. The codebase I'm responsible for at work was developed in a mad rush, and the levels of pointless coupling and interdependence sometimes makes it hard to change anything without spending forever tracking down all the stupid little places that piece was touching. That shit comes from management pushing you to just do the thing already and move on, which works for a while until things get so messy you have to slow down or spend some time on a refactor. Someone could easily have made a technical decision for the sake of expedience, which was then built upon and became interconnected with other things in a way that made changing it require a major change, which of course no manager will support, so the work gets broken up into 100 tiny stupid tickets trying to move toward adding the new feature without ever making a breaking change, slowing down the whole thing even more.

  • Yeah honestly it doesn't seem like a good thing. If they don't cancel it after one season, how long till they enshittify it with their stupid fucking Netflix rules? How long until some executive doesn't like the message they're sending and meddles? How long until the creators leave over creative differences, leaving Netflix to parade the hollowed out taxidermy husk stuffed with product placement and ad space until no one watches anymore?

  • Filibuster everything. Literally everything that can be filibustered. See how fast we get rid of the filibuster.

  • Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me

  • It would would have been cool if you'd left out the vegan propaganda

  • I wish it would hurt them bad enough they would fucking stop

  • Every accusation is a confession.

  • Those are rookie numbers. You need to pump those numbers up.

  • Just a reminder you can say fucking here. Fucking fuck shit you can, and holy fucking dogshit does that cunt fucking AI bullshit not even fucking work to replace a fucking intern, let alone a full ass engineer.

  • I think my CEO is doing something wrong then because he seems to be trying to maximize IC whiplash sometimes.

  • You can say bullshit on the internet. You can also say shit. Some more fun words you can use are fuck, cunt, cock, dick, pussy, bitch, and ass. Don't let the cunty puritans win. Don't give in to censorship.

  • Here in America we have great wars, the best wars, possibly ever. We do war so well we fight on both sides, and we always win. We're so good at war, we keep it civil. The most civil of any war, possibly ever.

  • That's Tom, who has nothing to do with Tumblr.
