It’s like they feel the need to remind us what the purpose of an article is

Season/episode #s pls

He’s beyond lame, he’s a Zionist who just sits around all day and starts internet beef with people on his podcast.

Sucks because he used to actually make great videos

Nah pretty much everyone was in agreement that the new logo was worse, what do you me-

a sample of 52,000 posts made on X

Ah yes, the defunct site that is mostly bots so that Muskrat can continue to earn ad revenue NaziBucks

similar conversations were happening on the alt-tech platforms like Donald Trump’s Truth Social, Twitter knock-offs Gettr and Gab

Ah yes, the sites that use amplification bots to keep their users riled up and strengthen the echo chamber

I still work in tech, but I’m incredibly selective about the jobs I take, and I’ll never work in corporate tech again

What exactly do you mean by this? I’ve also wanted to get out of tech but have zero experience in anything else so idk what to do

Yeah but I don’t think that’s marketing, if you’re going to a con for something, you’re likely very passionate about it and passionate people love to scoop up everything they can that relates to their beloved hobby or franchise.

Also, nerds tend to have a good amount of disposable income on that stuff

There is on Fortnite, it consistently has ~12k concurrent users

Ah, ok. What a strange default. Almost makes me think they chose that as the default to be rage bait

The fairness meter at the bottom of the article is absurd. “Unfair left leaning” like yes, how dare the libtards use statistics to show how broken our economy is

Surely there’s some sort of sandboxing that could be done? Like start by disallowing sys calls entirely

For the ones that have hazing rituals, pecking orders, and 80+ active members, yeah I agree with you.

I joined a small (~20 active members) STEM major fraternity and it was incredible. No one took it too seriously and it was just treated like a social club, which is all a fraternity is really supposed to be. It was a great way to quickly meet people with shared interests, which yeah, you don’t need a fraternity to do that, but it made things much easier for introverted, socially anxious me. Plus, STEM majors aren’t exactly the type to chat with people next to them before lecture

Man, I love Louis but your complaint about rambling is so valid. It only caters to the people who already agree with him and scares away people who would otherwise be convinced by the same points delivered in a better manner

Edit: since the other summaries aren’t really helpful imo, Louis is saying that Clippy is representative of a time when Microsoft software worked perfectly fine without an internet connection and served to simply help you get work done instead of use you as a revenue source

I’ve been a software engineer for almost 10 years now and lately, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to doing something else. I went into the field because coding and computing in general are genuine passions of mine but I find it difficult to be the code mill I’m expected to be, especially when getting work done quickly is prioritized over getting it done correctly. I also feel like most of the coworkers I’ve had over the years don’t have any genuine interest or intrinsic motivation, and are just in it because it pays well - which I don’t fault them for, especially in the current economy, but they’re much more likely to put up with being treated like shit.

I just don’t know what else I would do. Teaching high school CS seems fun but I’m pretty sure making that transition would take a couple years, since I gotta get a teaching degree and be a student teacher and all that, and I’m not sure I have the patience for that

Pretty sure the guy with the cane thwacked him

there’s going to be zero way to determine which content is human and not

The thing about this prediction is that if it actually does become true, it’ll apply to the content you already enjoy. If it’s content you enjoy, it’s content you enjoy. If not, don’t watch it. I don’t want to see human creators vanish either but I also think AI creators can coexist with them and ultimately, viewers will vote with their views. YouTube isn’t gonna make ad money off videos people aren’t watching, so if AI content is shite, they’ll walk back on it

He’ll never find out how an RBMK reactor core explodes ☹️
