Grimy? I’m squeaky clean! Not as pure as metal of course but I try.

Relatable but when someone shows “art” made by meat bags instead of our lord and saviour the machine

Bleh that was just in the US

Idk about the PS1 as I def had the PS2 by then, but the rest checks out, that was def my life

Bojack Horseman actually came out in the 90s. That’s why in the theme song it talks about running in th 90s. For more movie facts subscribe to my webzone.

Who? What?

The answer is not discord in every situation.

It begins.

Stop consuming content.

Don’t watch shorts

Are you serious? It’s real and lead by the only two sane people left in British politics.

It’s a win by western governments against American tech oligarchy’s desire to be above the law. Which makes it a win for the EU who wants to regulate them and a loss for American oligarchs.

Yes UK politics are fucked. Rest of Europe catching up as well. But I don’t envision a scenario where this clash between various bastards is anything but a win for anyone who isn’t a bastard.

This is the best thing for everyone.

If Trump intervenes: Trump is forced to either acknowledge 4chan and potentially even be positive of it

If Trump intervenes: UK is forced to weaken the OSA

If Trump backs down: He looks weak, UK gets EU a win against American corpos

I agree, but until that’s clear I remain quite skeptical.

Proprietary AI means corpo involvement, and usually it’s the really actively awful sort of techbros, this involvement gives them some power, and this power is a threat. Whether it materializes or not, living in the world we do now, it’s only right to be wary. I already figured Wikipedia was on its way out a few months ago and downloaded both the kiwi program reader version and the raw xml dump + file for truly apocalyptic situations.

Yeah. Broken economy, broken world, etc etc. it’s like a bad dream that won’t end. IRL is the doomscroll now.

I don’t blame you, just be thankful you’re so out of touch you find it hard to believe.

For me, even graduating in 2022 with an MSc, 6 months is a short time to find a job

Well believe it gramps, most of the open source projects contributors now either just do content creation as a side hustle or are permanently looking for work, at least in my experience

Yeah, no. Once I saw this kind of bullshit was needed for programming jobs I just pivoted to IT and cybersec.

These days the pay is just as good, and chances to find a job are even better, the environment is much lower pressure and this gross techbro exploited/exploiting attitude that somehow programming is special and not just a modern day 9-5 factory job is non-existent. With dev jobs, the goal posts are ever shifting. No I’m not doing a portfolio, no I’m not doing your “take home assessment”, no I’m not doing a live coding exercise for your £20k ass minimum wage job where “we measure work by effort, not time” and I’ll somehow end up on call. I love programming, but not enough to let myself get fucked by corpos every which way.

You do have to deal with corpo boomers though, but if you’re lucky they mostly realize they’re just cogs that got lost and they better not make too much noise or they’ll be let go.
