Random techworker "We need to increase the stormfront weighting again, Musk is mad at some random twitter account again."

(I'm joking here it is numbers, but I think it is just words in the prompt, see the prompt on github they posted a while back (doubt it is maintained)).

i think one of the most relatable bits of eva was seeing the inside of one of the computers and its just a bunch of notes from ritsuko's mom going off about how much she fuckin hates gendo. every techworker has been there.

Being based on Arch I can also defeatedly mark off "Arch Linux" on my "Techworker Transfem" bingo card, to go with "Programmer Socks" "Thinkpad covered in Stickers" and "VRChat User". Apparently now I'm only "Rust Programmer" away from getting a full row.

I had looked into the H-1B visa program back in the 1990s when my parents were pushing me to emigrate to the US. Even back then it was being massively gamed by the tech firms and consultancies.

Love the stage of our current cyberpunk dystopia where we are turning to doing Cyber Mysticism. One step closer to Shadowrun, I guess.

Forget ChatGPT. These tech bros seek answers from tarot cards Techies gather to pull cards, ask about fundraising, and reassess their relationship with the occult. None of the dozens of men at Tarotpunk’s Tech Bro Tarot launch party Saturday would admit to being a tech bro. But there they were, in their Patagonia vests, asking the tech-focused cards whether they should raise another venture round. “I’m dressed as a tech bro as a caricature,” said 25-year-old Arpan Bhattacharya, founder of an AI search startup and one of approximately 80 business owners, engineers, and developers, mostly male, who came out to the party at Frontier Tower, the new tech-blessed coworking highrise on Market Street. “There’s a bit of amorphousness to the definition … but I’m not a tech bro.” The brainchild of techworker ATW, who goes by her X handle and is best known for her “product mommy” memes, the Tech Bro Tarot deck replaces the traditional cards with anime-styled startup stereotypes. “I wanted it to be polarizing,” she said. And she wanted it to lure techies to tarot. “A lot of men have never tried tarot, but they’re open, as this is in their wheelhouse.” Perhaps the mystical-curious partygoers represent a new kind of tech archetype. Tech occultists? Stedman Halliday, 31, the floor lead of the Frontier Tower Fitness Center and developer of a healthtech startup, says many tech workers are embracing mystical and alternative spiritual practices. ATW used AI in creating her deck; the technology also enabled the competing Bay Area-based Tech Bro Tarot deck recently released by Shweta Kayal, founder of podcast network Infinite Timelines, that touts itself as “100% vibe-coded.” Reibman found ATW’s cards to be relatable and packed with inside jokes. He was particularly struck by one that featured a wailing techie staring into an empty fridge. “When you go to a hackathon, you’re just looking for something to drink, and there’s, like, one half-drunk LaCroix left over,” he said, laughing. ATW was pleased with the reception. “Tarot for men doesn’t exist, and that’s its own billion-dollar market,” she said. “Where people may have scoffed at this in the past, it’s something they now have more of an open mind to, which is the whole point.”

Microsoft has announced it will be laying off 6,000 employees.

This threat of further job losses in Ireland’s tech sector is a stark reminder of why tech workers need a trade union and why the CWU has seen such growth in its Digital And Techworker Alliance (DATA).

you’re also right—to draw some vulgar comparisons, musk’s a longtime promoter of the stakhanovite techworker & DOGE & its wall to receipts is like the worst version of a five year plan, ever

You're in the DMV too, right? I was too poor to take advantage of the Millennial Lifestyle Subsidy when i lived in Chicago, and now that I'm a techworker in DC, I still find that it's like 70 bucks plus tip to feed two people for delivery. Pretty much never worth it!

Reshare don’t just heart react. And if #Bluesky squelches the topic of a #TechWorker #WildcatStrike #GlobalGeneralStrike at the big platforms, then you know you didn’t actually escape big tech you just ran to the digital ghetto they plan to monitor you in.

Over the last few weeks, I switched my email and calendar hosting to MS 365, DNS to Azure, I'm mainly using an Android phone, and setup IFTTT to get its notifications on my Apple Watch. This is a kind of techworker midlife crisis, and that's okay.

like i would like extremely well known transphobes to be banned on sight but i understand the average cis techworker is a spineless liberal

at least ban them when they inevitably start breaking your own terms of service
