- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg explains why so many tech companies are doing layoffs right now 8 months ago:
Yes they did make the assumption that it would be permanent, many of them literally admitted as much.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg explains why so many tech companies are doing layoffs right now 8 months ago:
This asshole is such a sociopath. He just did an all hands last year where he straight up told his employees that some of them don’t belong there, and then they did the layoffs. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.
- Comment on Why has Firefox not removed third-party cookies, despite the fact that Chrome has begun phasing them out? 8 months ago:
Yeah my company uses them for integrating some of our apps together. They aren’t used for tracking at all, and we’d be up shits creek if they were, because our (corporate) customers audit that sort of thing.
Because of Google we’ve had to develop an alternative solution which has taken years to develop and is only getting deployed now. Those fuckers have way too much power over the Internet.
- Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now 8 months ago:
Are you actually in the market right now or just making stuff up? You use a lot of qualifying language in this post that makes it sound like you’re just reassuring yourself. It comes off as condescending.
There are hundreds of thousands of unemployed devs right now, plus all the scrub gold chasers trying to break into the industry.
- Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now 8 months ago:
Most of these execs actually believed that covid demand would become permanent. What they did was incredibly stupid and irresponsible, and now workers are paying for it
Most of these people are total followers. They just do whatever Google does because thats what dipshit investors want. There was no reason for my company to overhire to the degree it did, we were already able to meet demand… hiring people doesn’t magically increase your capacity to service more users. So fucking stupid. If I can help it I’ll never work for an idiotic public company again.
- Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now 8 months ago:
It’s the worst market since 2008. I don’t know why people feel the need to minimize it. It’s certainly more than a footnote.
- Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now 8 months ago:
You don’t know what you’re talking about. I personally know multiple devs who were laid off from my company. These companies don’t give a shit about your skills anymore, they’re purely looking at how much money you cost them.
- Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now 8 months ago:
I don’t think the money is magically just going to come back this time. I doubt that interest rates will ever drop to the levels they were at before the pandemic.
The market is insane right now. Basically every position I see has 1000+ applications. Really wish some of these rookie candidates would go chase gold in some other industry because they’re making it harder for qualified people, and the vast majority of them turn into shit devs.
- Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now 8 months ago:
I’ve never met a dev in a union. What companies have a union?
- Comment on Taylor Swift getting to the trade center. 8 months ago:
Conservatives don’t care that she’s blowing gas on planes. They think she’s somehow manipulating the election
- Comment on From Software is "working hard on Elden Ring DLC" but still doesn't have a release date "at this time" 8 months ago:
I’d prefer a bloodborne remaster over ER DLC
- Comment on [Politics] Have phobia, will travel 8 months ago:
This isn’t even true though. They attached Mexicans for marijuana usage back in the 30s, they blamed AIDS on gay people, etc.
- Comment on ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything 8 months ago:
Financial times has always been always expensive AF because it’s made for rich investors.
- Comment on The Cult of AI. How one writer's trip to an annual tech conference left him with a sinking feeling about the future 9 months ago:
Yeah, shitty poetry and entirely unoriginal artwork. I don’t know what your deal is but there’s a hell of a lot more to consciousness and the human brain than that and current AI tech doesn’t even come close to it.
- Comment on The Cult of AI. How one writer's trip to an annual tech conference left him with a sinking feeling about the future 9 months ago:
None of the AI technology we have now even comes close to human intelligence
- Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? 9 months ago:
Catholicism requires about a year of studying to convert or you won’t be allowed to take sacraments.
- Comment on Google CEO tells employees to expect more job cuts this year. 9 months ago:
These asshole CEOs need to be put in their place. I wish the workers would fucking unionize already. The Democrats will never help us with labor issues.

- Comment on SAG-AFTRA Approves AI Voice Actors, Enrages the VA Community 9 months ago:
That sounds like a dystopia waiting to happen. UBI in many countries will keep you at poverty levels, it isn’t going to be a good way to live.
- Comment on SAG-AFTRA Approves AI Voice Actors, Enrages the VA Community 9 months ago:
“Approved by affected members” seems to be the critical part of the quote. So no it absolutely wasn’t “all union members”, they evidently cherry picked who voted on this.
- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 9 months ago:
They literally had to be sued by multiple jurisdictions to even offer refunds. The count of Valve needs to die.

Thanks

Cool, I might check it out then. I knew I’d have to move off of authy eventually.

BitWarden can generate 2FA tokens? I don’t see any option for that on Android
- Comment on Eurogamer readers' top 50 games of 2023 10 months ago:
For real, how is totk better than bg3 from any point of view? It’s basically a rehash of botw with very little in terms of new ideas. Nintendo fanboyism is the lamest thing in gaming. And Eurogamer is increasingly becoming contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. I used to enjoy their articles a lot
- Comment on OpenAI CEO says Muslim tech workers fear retaliation for speaking out 10 months ago:
Fucking what? The article is literally about Arab and Muslim employees
- Comment on OpenAI CEO says Muslim tech workers fear retaliation for speaking out 10 months ago:
Damn you’re fucking evil.
- Comment on In The Eagles song "Take It Easy" the first verse states he has 7 women on his mind, later he is admiring a girl in Winslow, Arizona...maybe another girl isn't what this guy needs. 10 months ago:
I know that, but I still think it says something about the writer of the song
- Comment on In The Eagles song "Take It Easy" the first verse states he has 7 women on his mind, later he is admiring a girl in Winslow, Arizona...maybe another girl isn't what this guy needs. 10 months ago:
Really annoys me how half the rock songs I like are proudly announcing what an absolute scumbag the author is

They’ve already been doing that
