  • Its a circus and we're the clowns

    Jump

  • I haven't interviewed anywhere in nearly a decade, but damn, the human interaction part is so important. These are your potential future coworkers, a vibe check goes both ways.

    I don't think I'd even do the first automated interview, tbh. If a human is going to be involved in hiring me down the line, they can damn well be present while I'm answering their questions.

  • Apple TV series 'Pluribus' begins season 2 shooting this fall

    Jump

  • Yeah, Rhea Seehorn is great. Carol is definitely intentionally abrasive (hence all of the other characters' reactions) and the show repeatedly under cuts her methods to make her seem slightly ridiculous, but her extreme stubbornness is what makes her such a good lens for the story.

    Personally, I think it's very relatable to be an asshole in a smiling zombie apocalypse.

  • Jell-o belt

    Jump

  • Yeah, wasn't going to go there to look, but this is a different guy and just happens to have a baseball handle. Weird coincidence.

  • How common was video game piracy in the 90s?

    Jump

  • I'm a couple years younger than you, but a lot of this resonated for me. Custom installers were some of my early inspirations for making apps that didn't have the traditional gray box aesthetic.

    However, I will say that Kenshin was a thing in the US. Samurai X was only the name of the OG movies where he was still lethal AFAIK.

  • Democracy

    Jump

  • I think this is from Graeber's essay "There Never was a West", and he does such a good job assaulting the idea that there is some coherent vision of what "The West" is in comparison to everyone else.

    The underlying thread in all of his anthropological anarchism is that there are a thousand ways cultures have made (and thus we could make) society work, we just have to decide to change. If this sounds obvious to you, that's good - because it doesn't sound obvious to the horde of people clinging to capitalism as if divine market forces are sacrosanct and all human suffering derived from it is inevitable.

  • House of the Dragon Season 3 | Official Teaser Trailer | HBO Max | June 21st

    Jump

  • The big issue with this show is the writing isn't good enough to be better than GoT and it's trying to pull off the same epic scale story.

    Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a hundred times more fun. Westeros is a great setting and telling a smaller story with self-deprecating humor means the show isn't constantly getting compared to GoT.

  • Good question

    Jump

  • On a related note, not having to know literally everything a public person has done before feeling safe to express even the most basic support for their work.

    I appreciate the accountability, I don't want to support bad people, but back in the day it was like "I enjoyed that album" and then you went back to living your life. Lack of information made separating the art from the artist the default and it made enjoying new stuff take so much less effort.

  • Innovation

    Jump

  • I agree that this is extremely simplified, however your radio example implies physicists only do physics for money and nobody would have explored the applications of radio waves without a profit motive which seems at odds with... Well, literally every scientist I've ever met.

    Jump

  • You don't think people would volunteer to maintain sewers or collect garbage if the alternative was shit/trash everywhere?

    To me it just looks like an easy way to do your community a service.

  • Employees at first ever Starbucks store seek to unionize amid fight for contract

    Jump

  • I've worked on unionizing businesses with multiple locations and the big issue is communication. Locations rarely have overlapping staff below the management level and chatting with coworkers, having rapport with them is key to building faith in any sort of collective action.

    That said, Starbucks Workers United (mentioned in the article briefly) may be able to pull something off with a more regional scope, but AFAIK they focus on shops that are already working on unionizing rather than cold calling locations.

  • ‘NCIS: New York’ Starring LL Cool J and Scott Caan Set at CBS

    Jump

  • Assuming detectives count, Criminal Record? I don't know, I just looked it up, I don't actually have Apple stuff. I'd be really surprised if there wasn't more on it, even if it's not original programming.

    Edit: Slow Horses too perhaps? Although it's more domestic intelligence shit, it's in the same vein.

  • ‘NCIS: New York’ Starring LL Cool J and Scott Caan Set at CBS

    Jump

  • There's copaganda everywhere. Cop shows are like the cosmic background radiation of TV. Cheap, trope heavy, the plots and characters basically write themselves.

  • what's a good protest song for anti-war, anti-ice, and anti-oligarchy?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the rec!

  • what's a good protest song for anti-war, anti-ice, and anti-oligarchy?

    Jump

  • Upvote for Jesse Welles. I appreciate his music can be topical, but also humorous and chill. Maybe not the sort of protest songs you play to fire people up, but definitely ones that will get their message stuck in your head.

  • DNC votes down 'dark money' resolution singling out AIPAC, defers resolution on military aid to Israel

    Jump

  • The DNC made clear today that all Democrats, including millions who are AIPAC members, have the right to participate fully in the Democratic process, and we plan to do just that," AIPAC spokesperson Deryn Sousa told ABC News.

    All those AIPAC members can fuck off, their money is going toward perpetuating war and genocide.

    Citizens United, and PACs in general, have done nothing but make this country's politics more and more toxic and here the DNC couldn't even pass a symbolic resolution against one of the worst of them.

  • Firefox 149 vs. Chrome 147 Web Browser Performance On Linux

    Jump

  • Yeah, couldn't care less if Chrome is faster when it is controlled by Google and actively working against extensions.

    Not to mention we crossed a performance line maybe 10 years ago where browser engines on modern processors are basically trivial. Once we started having 8+ threads and the browsers got smart enough to leverage them, I'd bet bandwidth (or memory if you have many tabs), is a way more typical bottleneck.

  • ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Reboot ‘Life’s Still Unfair’ Is Totally Unnecessary

    Jump

  • I wish they wouldn't call this a reboot, it's almost the entire OG cast, for one, and IIRC these four episodes are all they're doing. This review criticises it for feeling like a reunion special but that's what it is.

    I'll watch the episodes, but I think it's silly to expect anything more than a nostalgia bomb.

  • AI Code is Hollowing Out Open Source, and Maintainers are Looking the Other Way

    Jump

  • I read the post, but as I mentioned elsewhere, how are devs (or malicious commercial thieves looking for public domain code) supposed to detect this code is an LLM creation when all of the obvious signs they mention are stripped?

    A ban on people using an LLM in secret is unenforceable and the code output can be indistinguishable from a human's, especially when a real human that understands the change is there to baby it and write commit messages etc.
