Been a engineer for more than 15 years.

My secret to avoiding this? Always act like you’re the stupidest in the room. Not full blown, but like pretty high level dumb.

• Someone once asked me how to fix their windows. No idea - I only use Linux.

• My favorite Linux flavor? Uh I dunno… The one that Tim Apple makes!

• So I know how to use terminals? Not really, I just use the GUI, which stands for General User Interactions.

• How do I get this far and write code? Well I type things into google.com and then copy and paste code and it just works.

• But don’t I need a degree? Nah. I was mostly doing drugs and alcohol and cheated my way up.

• Aren’t I speaking at tech conferences? Nah. I just type things into google.com slash Gemini and read what the AI, which stands for Advanced Intelligence, says.

And I Never have to fix a god damn thing.

The women I spoke with were between 30-45 years old.

Math is continuing to check out!

They do. Government orgs are just extremely slow and have a lot of stupid ass inefficiencies.

I did contracting work for a gov website that involved a revamp. It took two years for the work to get to me, one month for me to finish my first pass, and then three more years before it finally launched.

Five years.

No argument there! Just was surprised it was all first person shooters.

We can only make assumptions here.

My guess being in a marriage leads to an urge to first-person shoot.

Five women! I should have pointed that out.

With this extremely limited sample size, we can only conclude that single women do not play FPSes. If that girl is playing Balatro, assume you have a chance.

Shit. I just realized my gamer wife didn’t fit this. She’s been playing Valheim. I’m giving bad data.

Yeah but then you have to learn MATH and I’m not doing that.

I played MGS5 about two years ago during the pandemic.

My god. That game shouldn’t be so graphically beautiful, better than most games that were being released.

Shame the game didn’t have a full ending. I want closure. But that’s my phantom pain.

Twitter. Reddit.

I can’t wait for the AI to reach this level of peak comedy

I dunno if there’s just a lack of education around what open-source means or what. Like jeez, you can contribute to unlock origin. You can study it and see if there’s anything you disagree with. You can fork it and change it.

Revisionist history. We were not living in harmony.

The Dreamcast lovers cried into their Shen Mue.

Game Cube fans quietly played Smash bros.

PC Master Race was still arguing about sound cards and telling Gabe to fuck off with this Steam Always On Bullshit.

For most of the gaming industry, you were either PS or Xbox. There was no unity.

Looks like the Canadian connections are happening

For drivers, the results are unpredictable and too often unfair. Data obtained by the Star shows Uber Eats’ platform can offer two food couriers different wages for the exact same trip.

Labour advocates charge that the app collects data on driver behaviour and can use it to decide who it can pay at a lower rate, allowing the company to pocket the difference and boost its revenue. This concept is widely referred to as algorithmic wage discrimination.

Oh is this new lore?

The great .ml vs .ee drama?

This is incredible.

Thanks for taking the time to take more screenshots.

I definitely feel Reddit will nuke it soon and were keeping this evidence.

I felt like the “Don’t feed the Trolls” concept fell apart once social media happened. I remember it dying in the mySpace era and when Facebook came along, you can say “The earth is flat” and get a thousand comments
