Just want to repost this since my unemployment ends on Christmas and prospects have been not great. I would deeply appreciate any connections to a QA or basically any remote position
Looks like things are getting rocky for my job security so I'm gonna start the hunt for a new thing and I'd love to work with you!
I'm good at QA Automation and testing, and also at devops adjacent things like CI/CD pipelines and docker configurations and would love to work in build eng. Hit me up!

I'm a descriptivist and I understand that language evolves, but also if you include "POV" in the title but it's just a regular video of you, you should have your social media accounts taken away forever.

GenAI makes it harder to communicate online because it casts doubt on anything you see being genuine, but I think genAI boosters publicly being such credulous idiots about it has had almost the same effect - it's impossible to tell if someone is doing a bit about it anymore

Presentation matters, and people who take good ideas and communicate them to more people are making a valuable contribution. If those people don't credit their sources, of course that's plagiarism, but there are folks out there who think popularizers aren't adding anything, and they are dead wrong.

The term "cargo cult" makes me uncomfortable but I do think that a large number of technical and communication issues on software teams are natural consequences of adopting behaviors via mimicry without understanding their intended purpose.

If you read 100 "post" pandemic thinkpieces (btw don't do this lol), 99 of them will not even obliquely reference the fact that covid is extremely dangerous, and the 1 that does will still rank that danger far below not getting to dine in at Applebees for 3 months in terms of severity.

Every once in a while I take a quick glance at Twitter to see how it's going over there (stupid idea, I know, but I can't help it), and of course it's mostly nazi shit like you'd expect but what really blows my mind is the handful of accounts still just out there obliviously posting like it's 2018.

Starting a new Fantasy game is exciting b/c it's always only like 4 minutes before a character says something that *sounds* super racist and you get to enjoy the uncertainty of the next half hour before you find out whether or not in this universe Racism Is Actually Correct b/c Some Races Are Evil.

Good post in the context of its thread but also an evergreen standalone statement.
the elite class becomes easier to understand when you realize they think everybody is as dumb as they are

Videogames should cost $1000 each but also it should be illegal to make, distribute, or play a videogame.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it is morally correct to snatch Meta Ray-Bans off of someone’s face and smash them.
New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not

The Fedora AI-assisted contributions policy makes the same mistake that every "use it but just be careful" policy makes, which is a belief that humans can or will sustain careful critical attention on work they did not do themselves. The only sensible policy is a total ban. lwn.net/Articles/104...

No question in my mind he could level the whole thing and get zero pushback besides a couple of lib accounts posting AI-generated images with the worst Annie Wilkes-ass joke you've ever seen in your life on them.
Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?

Software quality is, on average, in the toilet, so I don't have a lot of patience for the whole "some code isn't worth caring about" line. I mean it's definitely correct in the abstract, but I worry that practicing sloppy thinking carries too much risk of making it the only kind of thinking.

Gonna be very hilarious and on-brand if the thing that finally turns a bunch of Boomers against Trump is "someone else is doing something ugly to their house".
