- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 1 week ago:
For one of them, yes, but it costs more than they want to pay.
For the other…sort of yes, but it goes out 50%-70% of the day for some dumb reason I’ve yet to figure out. The company has no plans to fix/improve it…and they’re the same company offering the dialup backup.

To be fair, I have rural family in areas where dial up is still their only internet option.

I don’t understand this fully, from a profiteering gluttons standpoint, why wouldn’t they want to process anything and everything and make all the money they can?
- Comment on oof 4 weeks ago:
What are the gains?
Everyone I know with PhDs don’t really get paid more for doing the same job(s) I do.
And some are in research so it’s just a constant stress of continuing to get funding and stuff.
- Comment on Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer? 4 weeks ago:
Oregon here, it has seemed oddly humid feeling to me personally. I’m super sensitive to humidity and heat though.
It isn’t like the south, but definitely more than I recall historically.
It rained today randomly so that doesn’t help either.

- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 5 weeks ago:
Afraid of quitting not so much, but they are underpaid for their skills. At least for what they need the person was more skilled than me, but being paid ~$40k less. So…yeah…
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 5 weeks ago:
A recent job I had, Product kept saying this over 2ish years…
…at the end of the stint and with ~2 weeks until launch, they laid off all but one person on the team (some 12 engineers or so, myself included).
I often wonder how much shit that person is wading through leading up to launch and post-launch fighting fires.
