There are millions of small companies and shops that need engineering help. Many will actually talk to you like a person because they haven’t been enshuttified to death.
STOP WORKING FOR THESE GIANT HELLHOLES.
Why are you applying to that soulless shitshack??
I’ve definitely arrived at a place in my online life where I do not need to be on some company’s corporate advertising mill website.
I left, and I know I’m just one middle aged dude pining for the internet before the companies turned their roving eyes to it, but I have no interest in going back, regardless of what they do at this point. I offer this because maybe more people will start to think “do I really need to be a part of a community of millions, or even hundreds of millions? or maybe is it more healthy for me to find the right community online that is a bit more like a mid-sized city? We can share news across these little islands, so we don’t all need to fit in a single corporate container.”
I mean, they’ve definitely lost people to the fediverse, the majority here at this point are probably reddit refugees.
They may have gained in total users for all I know or care. This place just feels more like the old internet I like. Really looking forward to the slow decline in people here caring about what’s happening on Reddit, regardless of how big and successful or how terribly failed it is.
there are a few of us still bodging around out here.
I’m curious if anyone has experience with this stuff with an AMD card.
If I could finally ditch my windows gaming rig I would be a happy man.
