US tech people, you need to read this:
Modern technology is characterized by an obsession with convenience. Buy a product with one click and have it delivered to your door within a day. Tap a button and have a private car appear at your location in minutes. This mentality isn't exclusive to product offerings. It seeps into almost every aspect of working in the tech industry. Venture capitalists write about “founder mode,” which boils down to founders only being focused on the “big picture” and unbothered by the tedium of any daily administration work. Middle management embraces the philosophy of “Agile” to reduce the friction for shipping new features and delighting their end users. Software engineers are no exception. We talk about “velocity,” that is, how quickly we finish discrete development tasks. Slow velocity on a team is an indication that there is too much friction in the workflow. Convenience and its endless pursuit is the air you breathe at a tech company. When Mapbox leadership fought our union they appealed to our sense of convenience. Over a fraught two months, they made the relentless case for how inconvenient everyone's life would become if our union were allowed to continue, let alone be officially recognized. Leadership put their own twists on classic anti-union phrases like “a union would slow us down and make it harder for us to innovate,” “the union would make it hard to remove toxic people from your team,” or “we want to fix these structural problems you've highlighted, but it would be harder to implement solutions if we have to have everything approved by the union.” Leadership was effectively outlining the inconvenience of no longer being able to rule the company by decree.

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

News flash: X is still X, just in case you’re wondering. Logged in for 5 minutes and was rammed by 5 controversial gimmicks run by Indian founders and RW cells behaving like infants going through sleep regression because they discovered AI can create fake audio files framing opposition.

They tell you that they’re hiring you to solve problems. What they’re not telling you is all of those problems are internal.

All of his major scams start on the pretext of introducing ‘transparency’.

Okay, one more random tip for newbies: if someone quote-skeets (yes, they're called skeets, shut up) you in a way to dunk on your or annoy you, you can "detach" your skeet from the quote, so that it no longer shows.

This is also useful in ending brigading attacks.

These fingers have to shed a lot of rust after being so out of touch with posting, fearing unpleasant reactions on that other platform.

“If you’re angry about THIS, but not about THAT—“

Bro I’m gonna have to stop you there, I am angry about so many things all of the time, I have never in my life been angry about just one thing at a time, my capacity for “things to be angry about” is as wide and as deep as the sea
