@xianc78 it's literally a catch all for everyone the poster disagrees with online

@souldessin At least you are still applying your CS skills into a different job instead of letting them go to waste.

Seriously, I don't see any reason why emailing a ZIP file full of stuff you worked on over the years isn't a valid enough portfolio. Not everyone has a big enough presence to justify a personal website. They also want articles. For what? My opinions on the industry? It's just pointless.

A GitHub account, personal website connected to your real name, and a LinkedIn are basically required to get anywhere in the software industry now and it really sucks.

@PurpCat I've never even heard of the term until the NFT craze and Elon Musk becoming public enemy #1.

I get why techbros are hated, but I don't think it's an excuse to write off some new idea as there might be some useful applications for it. Seriously, I see a lot of people talking about why we should never go to the stars because they only perceive it as a techbro's wet dream.

So apparently, my definition of "techbro" was all wrong. I thought it was referring to right-libertarian-leaning, sometimes rich, tech-nerds who offer "solutions" to the world's problems when they are (at-best) perceived as band-aid solutions. But apparently, it's actually about "toxic masculinity in the industry".

@herag I knew someone who dry-iced bombed a bunch of yellow jacket nests in our local parks so they park services didn't have to eradicate them with toxic chemicals.

Let's Make America Great Again

First order of business, take care of your own damn parks. Don't complain to the govt, just fix it yourself.

I'll be coming back with tools in the coming days to fix this.

Stopping at the bluff by the river. Can't believe I stayed living in a city for so damn long.

One sure-fire practical way of insulating ourselves from this unrelenting onslaught is to form tight-knit small land-based active communities. #homesteading #permaculture

Unelected globalists want to rewrite the UN Charter so that it ‘could articulate the rules of a World Parliament‘ for ‘world citizens‘ with binding legislative & enforcement powers that eliminate State sovereignty. #Technocracy

Here we go again. The Fed has spent the last 16 years fueling the mother of all financial bubbles on Wall Street.

This is somewhat of a vindication of all those who argued in the past such resources should be as ideologically neutral as possible.
It splits the support for building common goods and instead pits people into tearing it down.
Live and learn.

I was looking for a hard drive to put in a trashpicked 2009 MacBook Pro, and I picked one I totally forgot I installed Haiku on. It boots right up and runs perfectly. haiku-os.org/
