- Comment on YouTube to be included in Australia’s social media ban for children under 16 1 week ago:
All this child safety is just because they don’t want to do proper moderation. What about user safety? Scams and hate speech don’t belong for adults either

How do you people think games are made? The entire field is notorious for its working conditions

You mean the idea that if wasn’t created completely by people? It matters to you that some unpaid intern wasn’t forced to work overtime writing the most boring bullshit scaffolding code?

I didn’t say that. It should be more specific to have any meaning to the consumer.

Of course, that’s why we need better guidelines. It’s like beauty ads that have to declare they used Photoshop. Every photo is edited if you don’t make it clear what you mean

Climate protesters in Britain got years in jail for even planning to peacefully protest on a motorway. Fascism is already here, folks. And fuck The Sun

- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 1 month ago:
The point is they should be fighting AI, not open the door even an inch to AI on their site. Like so many other endeavors, it only works because the contributors are human. Not corpos, not AI, not marketing. AI kills Wikipedia if they let that slip. Look at StackOverflow, look at Reddit, look at Google search, look at many corporate social media. Dead internet theory is all around us.
Wikipedia is trusted because it’s all human. No other reason

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 3 months ago:
As a former software engineer turned product owner turned manager, thank you for including other perspectives. When complaining on the internet, engineers typically think other people should be doing all the specification work and they just implement it, without realizing that in the pre-agile days, the bureaucracy was soul-crushing. We need engineers to discuss all these technical details like permissions and whatnot, they’re the best people for the task! But at parties, engineers talk about this as if management is stupid for not working it out for them. No, software engineers shouldn’t try to reduce themselves to code monkeys. You’re problem solvers, you’re engineers.
