The @eff needs to make an app that parodies those "which Character are you" things on #instagram and #snapchat
Instead of choosing your Harry Potter or Star Wars likeness, it shows you the data it knows about you over your head.
The internet is often praised for speed, instant communication.
We use things people said online to crucify them. We talk of futures we fear or delight in, but it is all in the past.
The internet is far from instant. People change every moment. We have to stop condemning each other.
I'm not against debate, but remember we're all suffering and the below each side of an argument is someone suffering.
Hi. I don't normally like to ask for financial help, but when my dad passed I was his live-in caregiver and my finances were always difficult. Now that he's gone my life has been turned upside down, and the house and everything will be sold ASAP, and I am not financially prepared for this. Any donations you could make at this time would be really appreciated. My Paypal and Venmo are in my profile.
Thank you.
It's weird that psychiatrists and psychologists work on both sides. Some of them are working for game companies, Facebook, and advertisers and the other doctors and therapists are dealing with the after effects.
It's like a group of doctors roaming the world stabbing, shooting, and assaulting people to keep the other doctors in business.
2001: Microsoft be like, "Well SORRRRRY for having a supposed monopoly on internet browsers. Do what you like. Sheesh."
2020: Google be like, "Use whatever browser you like because 99.6% of browsers are based on our Chromium code. Even Microsoft's browser. All your data is ours and there's fuck all you can do about it."
@ajroach42 Approachable tools are a threat to the computing class system.
Gov. contracts should be awarded via game shows. CEOs compete answering questions about how many lives they are willing to sacrifice to make their company successful. Round 2, give them a trolley prob scenario and finally the public votes. Lie to us & we will know. We have seen what monopolies will do for profit.
@welshpixie I've been meaning to ask you about your experience with your Ko-fi store?
I've been wanting to put my art up for a very long time, but my insecurity usually wins. However, I am running out of room for this stuff. I need to be brave. Thinking of trying Ko-fi because I don't know if I'd sell enough to pay for a fancy shopify or something.
Whoa. Did HELL just freeze over? Nvidia just released GPL GPU kernel modules:

The larger organization job interview -
We are a panel of people that HR put together, but we are given a script.
We cannot answer your specific questions because we know little about the position you're applying for.
Ask questions though! Otherwise we'll think you're just saying what we want to hear.
Also, say what we want to hear.
I am exhausted just listening to my partner talk about her upcoming interview.
Fuck hiring is broken.
I just wanted to give thanks to all the homemakers out there today. You don't get enough gratitude for all you do just keeping the home together as the big bro/sis, dad/mom, aunt/uncle.
As soon as you get things in order and can do something for yourself, someone else in the household has created disorder and you are back at. Thanks for your dedication and persistence.
I replaced the battery cell in my Kindle. One cannot replace the battery because Bezos has a little chip in there that says, "I am an official AMZ battery."
It still will not charge. I am not sure if it is the port or circuit.
On another note, I am absolutely shit at soldering. No matter how many tutorials I see. I am just going to have to take one-on-one lessons from @Ricardus
Writer, video editor, motion graphics occasionally pay me. Creating art and having conversations fuel me.
