  • But these sham community engagement exercises piss me off

    That’s Google for you: they’ve been doing self-serving open-source for decades.

    For instance: they open-sourced Android. That helped Android become the dominant platform and Google capture the cellphone market. Since then, Google has been slowly moving their stuff away from the open-source AOSP and into their proprietary stack, introduced proprietary features that are almost compulsory for a practical, working Android system like Play Protect, and are actively killing deGoogled ROMs.

    There’s only one thing to keep in mind with Google: if they do something, it’s not in your interest, and they know how to play long games. Anything they do will be used against you some day.










  • Same here. Luckily I’m old enough that I’ve never had to deal with this automated shit - and hopefully never will - and I’ve always managed to find a job without having to post my resume on LinkedIn or any other privacy-invading job listing site.

    Fuck companies that make money out of people’s necessity to work - chiefly Microsoft, and now all the life-sucking AI companies slowly creeping into every workplaces.

    And yeah, one thing is for sure: if your company finds it acceptable to interview potential employees with machines, it sure as hell isn’t a company I’d want to work for.
