That’s honestly an insult to terrible engineers.

Musk is barely on par with a 9-year-old with crayons and construction paper.

And no one was ever surprised, except for people stupid enough to buy anything from Muskmelon in the first place.

Or the cops just shoot you and save everyone the hassle.

Except in the US. We don’t enforce those laws here.

Maybe if you havea heath condition that makes your hands thrash around uncontrollably, but then you shouldn’t be driving in the first place.

Secure from who? The law? Not likely. Some dude in his basement in Russia who really wants to know where I’m meeting my friends after work or what time my dentist appointment is? Big deal.

Honestly, who is actually stupid enough to still be sending sensitive personal information by text? It doesn’t matter what app you use to send it; once it’s sent, it’s inherently unsecure because now someone else has it in their posession with nothing but their personal integrity protecting it.

My phone can already send texts. Why the fuck would I install spyware to be able to also send texts?

Scabs are the worst.

I’mnot talking about as a worker, but as a consumer. You do not have to give your money to these places. If you value convenience and familiarity over customer support and workers’ rights, the problem is with your position, not mine.

You’re right, I guess we just shouldn’t try. We should probably just let corporations do whatever they want with no meaningful pushback and keep making our lives worse.

It’ll be our fault because we accepted these practices in the first place.

Why should the customer have to hand-hold shitty corporations while we pretend, againt all past evidence, that they’re ever going to learn to do better, when “doing better” isn’t their goal?

It’s not our job to fix bad business practices by rewarding them with continued business while they lie about “figuring things out.” It’s our job to condemn them to failure and bankruptcy for their atrocious anti-human behavior, and we’re failing miserably at it due to our toxic collective preference for short-term convenience over quality and long-term societal and economic health.

My recommendation for anyone, but especially IT, is to learn how to use LLMs as they will be pervasive before you know it.

Better idea: stop doing business with companies that do this.

They like sports, which are very boring.

Ok but you’d actually be paying what you owe for the services you receive, presumably.

For what it’s worth, that particular sculpture wasn’t very good to begin with.

There’s a reason I’ve almost entirely stopped buying video games. Once I’ve gotten tired of replaying the games I already own, I don’t see any compelling reason to continue it as a hobby. Aside from this garbage, we’re expected to pay higher prices for almost exclusively incomplete games with little or no originality or interesting gameplay. Gaming was fun while it lasted, but it’s not nearly worth the investment anymore.

Antivaxx, right-wing conspiracy horseshittery is explicitly unwelcome around these parts. You should really leave and not come back, and definitely stop sending more of your kind here.

Twitter was always trash. Why would I want to use a halfassed knockoff version from an exponentially worse company?
