Some More News will do a livestream of the results. They are usually on point with their analysis and sources.

But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.

Because that’s a good canary to show the article wasn’t AI written?

Apple is powered by the copium of their fanbase, so maybe the next model won’t even need a power cable.

Imagine a world where we had politicians who understood technology enough to put proper rules and requirements in place, so that big dumb companies would actually be forced to act ethically and sustainably…

I feel you. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

Danish libraries provide an online streaming service, where you can watch 2-3 movies a month for free. It’s awesome! They even had Everything Everywhere All At Once before any other streaming service here.

This feels like OG 4chan or Reddit, and I’m all for it. Great ducks, people!

Crushes are non-consensual. Getting rejected is definitely the best, because that is the first step to getting over an unhealthy obsession.

I wish more games came with couch co-op. It was a lot of fun in Halo and Diablo.

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

I hope I live to see the death of private banking. It’s insane how much of the fuckery in the world that originates in banking.

I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I’ve ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

Tech bros underestimating the complexity of real life yet again

Never underestimate the effect dust can have on airflow and cooling in general

Still can’t bike over a speedbump without these fuckers popping out of my ears. I’d rather use my big-ass Sennheiser headphones to escape that anxiety.

I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).

In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.
