  • Hating a minority is a theme showing up in politics, every time a society had a downturn.

    Jews were scapegoats, they were generally seen as greedy and thrifty. So when the economy went to shit, the workers blamed an ethnic group associated with being successful business people.

    The hate for Muslims went up a lot in the aftermath of the 08 crisis. Although the reasons for problems tends to be greed among the elites, they also tend to control the narrative. And will throw a minority under the bus to save themselves


  • I’m pretty confident Putin is the number one backer of immortality age reversal research globally.

    He does all sorts of things, as is tradition among Russian Tzar’s, to halt his aging. The joke is the anti aging gurus tend to die before turning 70 and it has scared every Russian leader in history when they’ve observed that




  • The hello is not the issue. But getting a notification before the question is.

    Ultimately what happens if there’s a bunch of “helloers” approaching you, you end up muting the messaging app and only check messages every X time. Rather than being available, pros and cons. And there’s definitely an argument to be had, that it’s the superior way of working - But hello only people, just shoot themselves in their foot and get longer time to response




  • I honestly think the styling is the main reason it feels AI.

    because the sentences are too short, they’re a style I sort of writes at times. Just sort of. LLMs tends to output longer sentences, rather than the two-three words. Then dot. That’s a rare one for LLM

    However it’s not an anti AI site, so they might have vibe styled it and probably had a LLM help with some of the wording. However I think a human did vet and rewrite parts of it.


  • Functionally all new apps are “Linux development work”, as modern C# solutions are containerised and hosted on Linux servers.

    Microsoft gave up on Windows servers a decade ago when they released .net Core, as it was the sound solution to ensure continual growth of Azure and fighting off Java adoption hosted through AWS/GCP

    .net framework is a niche framework now, which just a few legacy platforms run today.

    However the reason IT requires Mac and Windows for everyone, is because they can lock those machines down. Like mad down, they don’t want to build software to lock Linux machines down from a central place.






  • There’s largely still above average working conditions for the people that do land a job in tech, but right now the job security is rather low.

    The thing is, if you’re managing an important project. The companies want to pay extra, to ensure they’re having decent people hired and have their time if something breaks out of hours.

    But remote hirers, do also factor regional factors into account. Most US companies okay with remote workers, will have payranges per state. Most European companies, have at least pay ranges per country. You’re getting paid more in Denmark than you’d be in Hungary as an example. To account for cost of living as well as local competition





  • They’re kinda comparing apples and oranges, fairphone doesn’t really have a budget phone.

    They just have one model, which they gradually upgrade the hardware of and gives a new number.

    Right now there’s barely any sellers of a Fairphone 4 as an example, and you’re able to get it for ~400 euroes from refurbished condition sellers.

    Most brands, continues to sell old models. Which ends up as the budget phone 3 generations down the line. But fairphone doesn’t, they only sell a fairly powerful phone from new condition.
