  Its because their concept of immigration is sitting in Mexico waiting for 20 years to be allowed into the US finally.

  Is that the one that was announced but was still a scrapyard, or is this another story of British failure?

  Do you know how fucking drastic shit has to be to get boring EU companies to be like “Yeah maybe lets entirely divest from the US tech stack”

  We’re here. Hedgemony’s dead bro, the US doesn’t make anything we want any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do office going men still wear suits in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I’m glad they’re almost dead.

  Suits were a consequence of the professionalization of what would otherwise be trade workers. Most of those that put on suits didn’t get to get a union, either.

  A software developer is a machine monkey, just in air conditioning and no grease under their nails. For some god damn reason they have to wear a collar and tie. This pushed most of the devs with career mobility to reject that and you get the sandles-and-t-shirt techbro stereotype.

  Suits are too expensive to get tailored and off-the-shelf ends up looking a bit tragic on the majority that are compelled to wear 'em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with people liking old devices?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want consumer electronics to be fun and ethical again.

  I want bright semi-transparent interchangable plastics and everything to use the same fastener (I’ll give them a pass on screw lengths, though if they were being bros they’d use different colours of locktite or paint pen on each length.

  Society wont heal until semi-transparent colourful plastics are everywhere on consumer products again.

  I don’t understand you, old man.

  It was (briefly) useful for buying and selling illicit substances.

  Consider trying to play the same games that you regularly play on linux and see if you could be free of Redmond’s touch
