Amen. I get the sentiment but Jesus Christ everything is politics when you boil it down. Yes it’s draining to focus on it 24/7 but it’s equally destructive to bury your head in the sand.

The elephant in the room more people need to pay attention to that many of us who work in IT are painfully intimate with.

Many IT people are hardcore libertarians who believe in some warped idea that they are where they are through their intelligence and hardwork while completely ignoring many of them come from backgrounds that afforded them the opportunities they are taking advantage of.

100% many of them are sexist, racist and bigoted pieces of shit that hide it at work because they’re adept at masking the fact that a lot of them are borderline autistic at worst and neurodivergent at best.

This is also why you see such a deep investment in idiocy like AI, Bitcoin and other paradigm shifts. They all have their heads up their asses and feel they’re better than everyone else.

Couple all this with the demographic being primarily white males.

Fuck talk to any woman who works in IT. It’s changing yes, but Jesus Christ it’s a cesspool in many ways.

I love you all solutioning for something I don’t care enough about. I just find it annoying that systemctl reversed the order for some stupid reason.

Note the order of the commands. I don’t mind typing aystemctl

I’d rather complain

My biggest complaint with systemd…

Service xxx stop/start/restart is so much easier than

Systemctl stop/start/restart xxx

It fucking annoys me

They should make it more like SO and have it chastise you for asking a stupid question you should already know the answer to lol

Dark Souls is special and many people have gone into it to great depths. It’s a flawed game for sure but it’s perfect even with those flaws.

Dark Souls, for me, ruined all other games. It took me months to want to play anything else.

In a perfect world a good government would be heavily regulating social media to prevent disinformation.

I continue to say when I was a kid you could all go to the local bar and there was Dale drunk going on about his insane shit and we could all ignore it. Now Dale is online with all the other Dales and they’re crazy but they’re not dumb and they found out how to weaponize their insanity.

Sigh.

Best we can do is educate our kids my daughter has friends who have anti-vax parents. Mine are not and I do my best to educate other kids when here. I don’t undercut their parents. I simply try to provide them with the facts and the hope is, the long game they will get smart.

I also want to add the danger of taking “facts” at face value. I have ADD as do my kids. They are inundated with information I never was and I have to debunk a lot of shit they see online because of the source (manosphere shit is everywhere). Seriously it’s an absolute fire hose of bullshit online if you don’t know how to filter content.

Because of the ADD my big challenge is emotional regulation so it’s less that I overreact and more that I spiral. Getting better with age. Anyone who needs advice. Exercise. It’s not a cure but it helps to even out the peaks and valleys.

Sooner or later? They already are lol

Far as I remember any browser in iOS is a scam anyways because Apple forces any browser in their platform to be based off of the same engine as Safari.

I think the MCU of all places summed this up perfectly and I think it was in Thor: The Dark World where Jane has fuck knows what and they operate on her in Asgard and she’s giving medical terms and they’re like “WTF just hook her up to the whoziwhatzhit and she’ll be fine.”

Of which there’s no sign of. I agree it’s a bubble. I don’t see it popping yet in my day to day.

Personal experience as some of her views have come across my viewing habits is she is as full of shit at the next one. She passes off conjecture as fact.

I work in finance (IT side) if the bubble is gonna burst all the ppl making money off of it haven’t got the memo and I trust their collective intelligence over this woman.

The best song ever written

This meme really irritates me hahahaha

This is better
