  It’s Zuck’s company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I teach Software Engineering, working mostly with first-year students but also coaching the senior capstone project. This year was the first time that not all of my seniors had a job before they graduated. One got hired just two weeks ago. Unsurprisingly, incoming numbers are way down. It’s likely that at least some of those were attracted to the money aspect, but it’s still a disturbing trend after years of steady growth in numbers.

  Attention span of a Golden Retriever puppy, but none of the cuteness.

  Try not to imagine what the money he’s blown on AI could have been spent on that would actually benefit mankind.

  You are correct, I do not like it.

  It would definitely remove IBS from the gene pool.

  I can smell this pic.*

  *Not a compliment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘A new frontier of potential abuse’: Is it legitimate to charge someone flying to a funeral more than a leisure traveler?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Legitimate? Yes. Shitty as all fuck? Also yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Years ago I was in LA on business and ended up on I-5. All of a sudden traffic stopped dead. Eventually people were getting out of their cars and walking around. About a half-hour later, traffic started up again. We never saw what was responsible for the blockage. No wreckage, no obvious marks or debris on the pavement, nothing. I’m glad I live in a small city nowhere near California.

  It seemed like imgur was the only hosting site for Reddit for the longest time. Then Reddit started self-hosting and imgur seemed to disappear.

  They are 3 people who’ve never been in Cliff Calvin’s kitchen.

  The lingering aroma wouldn’t let you forget, either.

  For god’s sake, let him out! He’s seen things!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  This is why I’m holding on to my “dumb” TV for as long as I can. Being able to pick and choose what streaming device I use is great, and if I have to build my own someday, that’s just fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expert here.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It says a lot about your stick emulation if you elude discovery that long. It has achieved peak stickness.

  He’ll be the first to die when pickles take over.

  I’d be nice to it. Just in case.

  Ha! It takes four robots to do the amount of doomscrolling one human can do!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could stop him or would stop him? SCOTUS has granted him blanket immunity for anything done as an “official act”, without bothering to specify exactly what an official act is. This has opened up a Pandora’s Box, needless to say. They’re literally expanding the power of the President, not limiting it.

  Congress, since it is fully GOP-dominated, will neither impeach him nor attempt to override any veto should they pass laws to curtail his activities. Not that they would, of course.

  The military has a duty to follow the Constitution and is supposed to disregard any orders to the contrary. But whether the military will act according to Trump or the Constitution is an open question. Remember, Trump has removed a number of senior officers whose loyalty to him was in question. And there are a lot of right-wing extremist types in the lower ranks of the military.

  In short, we’re probably FUCKED.

  Well, it would make the best volcano at the school Science Fair. And possibly lead to your arrest. So, not ideal.

  I won’t say how long it took me to get this one.

  Dropkicks walk the walk.
