TLDR News on YouTube
i watch this too and i can attest that it’s not much different than what you get on tv; it’s still beholden to the same forces that control abc, cbs, nbc, fox, cnn, guarding, skyone, etc.
democracynow is on youtube is the best you’re going to get in this country.
i worked for starbucks in the late 90’s and the trauma from its popularity at the time still leaves me w nightmares from time to time 30 years later. lol
yes and that’s why i said europe and not the eu
… just get the next body in
this is the overwhelming majority in my anecdotal experience for the last 23 years professionally so now i don’t try so hard.
try saying that you support palestine action publicly in the uk. lol
i got to jump back in recently w a new laptop that came w windows.
i’ve been buying linux first hardware for the last decade and going through this exercise has been eye opening for; i wasn’t aware of much the landscape has changed.
logflip sounds more fun. lol
very true and cryptic codebases w/o documentation was the only reason why i was employed for the last 20 years. lol
interviewing & working w the young people hired at my last 2 places who used ai to get work done MUCH faster than i could showed me how much of a dinosaur i was and it was the biggest contributing factor to leaving the field. my experience in the last 10 of those 20 years makes me aware that only software engineers with a prestigious pedigrees (eg well regarded universities and/or well known names in their resume) are given a chance today.
people trying to take a path similar to mine to become a software engineer – poorly regarded state university degree and accepting shitty contract gigs at the beginning of their career in roles that are barely software related – are fucked unless they’re lucky or well connected.
i was SUPER LUCKY to get contract gigs at faang and old-silicon shops to put on my resume and i learned retroactively (and in writing) that, that was the only reason i got interviewed at all.
We dont even know their names.
that’s surprising to learn since the likes of farage, le pen have & hocke heavily influencing politics in the uk, france & germinay and meloni winning her election in italy.
it’s not that they’re ignoring it; is that the legistlation doesn’t address buying it from non-government agencies and probably on purpose.
our billionaires are also funding the protests again them; one of the walmart heirs is entire responsible for the noking protests.
that’s fair. lol
I’m surprised that they kept the “Steam Machine” name. I thought they would choose a different name to avoid any negative connotations. It is a very cool name though.
what negative connotations exsit for “steam machine”
the europeans on lemmy continue to insist that americans are ahead of the fascism game; but we still don’t have chat control and have only elected one fascist so far. lol
now that i think of it, i’m technically one of them since i still play age of empires 2
that looks more like journalctl -r lol
what does logrotate look like? lol
aka hide your fortune from taxes in a charity bill
it makes you wonder why valve is pursuing it; are there enough people still playing these old games to justify a profit from the endeavor?
i felt relief when i dropped all social media and tv news; including facebook.
then i’ve selectively adding in new platforms one-at-a-time ensuring that each one wasn’t controlled by the same forces that have gamified and/or manufactured narratives like facebook/reddit/bluesky/etc. does.
lemmy, rednote, and tiktok are the only things to pass muster so far, but i suspect i’m going to have to drop tiktok eventually considering its new ownership.
