To your last point, The distance from Paris to Moscow is 1500 miles, while the distance from los angeles to NYC is over 2500 miles.
For the rest, yeah it’s ridiculous, our turnout is not even a 10th of what it should be considering the insanity
This world is ripe for an uprising against the ruling class and their bootlickers. The problem is getting everyone to agree on what they want.
I just have a constant pit in my stomach, knowing every day the constant thoughts in my mind egging me into impulsive action may one day lead me to do something that in the end will just be used as “moral” fodder against neighbors and people I care about.
But truly, when is enough, enough?
eventual? it’s here dude. Roving ICE (SS) patrols, people snatched up and thrown into god knows where, human rights abuses, ignoring our literal constitution and bill of rights. Soon enough they’ll start emptying our accounts of money if we speak out against them
laws tend to stop mattering when the vast majority of people stop believing in a legal system and start rioting and dragging the rich from their homes and bunkers though
there are so many more of us than them. If this is the path they truly want to go down, they won’t like how it ends
even better is the open weight, free models you can tailor to specific needs, which directly undercuts these massive “ai” companies.
So if/when those hikes happen, those self hosted models are going to look a lot more appetizing too
I really want to do the same after years of working in the field and watching it become more and more miserable, but financially I can’t really make the leap to starting my own business yet.
As the years go by I keep learning more and more from organizational practices:
trying to keep track of the lessons learned, hoping one day I can make the jump, or at least jump on board with a like minded team
I’m sorry for your situation. Other comments have pointed out that legally you don’t have to comply with the “no side job” bs, so i agree to keep proceeding with it, and if they try to fire you, bring in the lawyers.
On another note, stories like yours are why I want to watch the entire system burn, using executives as fuel for the fire.
Better to resist and flip the bird to these asshats rather than comply in advance.
Good luck to you, keep fighting, and never give up, if only to spite the bastards
they should have their heads “off” too
oppression breeds rebellion
corpo dems gonna corpo
Can this fucker and all his lackies just drop dead already? holy shit, so stupid, and so evil, it boggles the mind
at the very least don’t use it for the the most visibly apparent components of a game. Having it stub out scaffolding for underlying systems in the code is one thing, using it for visual assets is just dumb
yeah because the feds have shown so much reverence for the rule of law. Fuck em
very reasonable take. I work in games and some companies just use telemetry to keep activity logs sorted into neat buckets for the purpose of debugging, or recognizing patterns that lead to issues. Other’s will use it excessively, with a heavy focus on marketing and store fronts and use that to shovel more product to a consooomer (which I hate).
It’s a very useful tool though for debugging when used properly.
main reason I will keep using it as my main browser
He’s a treasonous raping pedophile that attempted a coup. Yeah he should have been put in prison for life or executed, but unfortunately 1/3rd of the US population has no critical thinking skills, and a burning hatred for anyone who doesn’t think like them (bigoted, racist, selfish, you get the idea). then another 3rd is entirely complacent and thinks politics are not their problem.
You guys get to watch the failure of a massive superpower in real time.
I get to get caught up in it all and likely thrown into the equivalent of a gulag because i openly express disgust and act against these fuckers. Already have had multiple shady black vans with no plates watching my home.
Least I’ll die knowing I tried my best, and was on the correct side of things
