- Comment on Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t say exactly 400k. I said “make around that amount of money”
My main point is that you shouldn’t kill yourself for only 400k per year. Ask for much, much more.
- Comment on Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule 3 weeks ago:
For the absolute bottom rung, not exactly 400k, but around there. Also depends on the city and team.
The main point is that if you’re gonna work a 996, you better be making at least $1M/year or more (honestly probably more, I tend to undershoot salaries) for it to be worth it. Otherwise, just get a normal FANG job if you only want to make $400k (lower end for FANG).
- Comment on Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule 4 weeks ago:
Uh… Just saying… you (or others reading) need to think in much bigger numbers for that extreme of a schedule… Entry level devs at FANG make around that amount of money… and we didn’t work nearly that many hours at the office…
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 5 weeks ago:
You get 2 or maybe 3 years of updates and then the device is trash.
Yeah, I’ve noticed this as well…
… which is why I was surprised when I read that Nothing Phone 3 will get 5 years of updates + 2 years of security updates.
androidauthority.com/nothing-phone-3-software-upd…
Nothing’s Co-Founder and Head of Marketing, Akis Evangelidis, has confirmed that the upcoming Nothing Phone 3 will ship with a “5+7” software update promise. …likely means the phone will get five years of Android version updates and seven years of security patches…
Although, you can’t install GrapheneOS on Nothing phones… so, 🤷

Are you also scared of databases and prefer storing things in raw txt files?
Yes, actually. 😅 I can’t manage a database for more than a few weeks before I screw it up or want to easily edit something and stop using it.
I don’t think databases are bad. I think I’m too much of a fuckup to manage one.

I know some now legal immigrants, who were granted amnesty in the 80s, who support or feel indifferent about the mass deportations…
Sadly, something I’ve realized that is part of our United Statian culture is that we believe: “If I suffered, then others must suffer as well.”
- Comment on Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome 2 months ago:
So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.
OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn’t music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren’t music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they’ll more or less like. That’s actually kinda huge.
A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I’m on Navidrome now, but I’m definitely listening to way less music now—access isn’t an issue—I just haven’t had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.
- Comment on Why Decentralized Social Media Matters 2 months ago:
Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.
Don’t Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?
- Comment on This fell off my car, can I just rip it off and not care? 2 months ago:
I went to one of those corporate places for an oil change … This fell off sometime on my drive home from work.
Exact same thing happened to me. Ever since then, I do my own oil changes.
Although, there’s definitely a startup cost. If you’re tight on cash, then I wouldn’t recommend it.
I guess the splash shield isn’t essential for driving… although, you should probably get it back on at some point. It’ll keep the elements out of the engine a bit. Getting water down there will probably lead to corrosion in the future. Not to mention rocks that could dent things down there.
It shouldn’t actually be too hard to put it back on. It’s usually just held on by plastic screws. You just need to buy replacement screws (a few bucks) and find a screw driver. The hard part would be lifting the car high enough so you can crawl under it. Then just line up the holes and put the screws on.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 months ago:
I don’t use a phone case. I already think phones are too big. Adding a case makes the phone even bigger and even bulkier. I’m usually pretty good at not dropping my phone.
Yes, usually, because I actually did drop it recently. 😅 Although, the screen is fine. It just has a little love tap on the corner. It’s got character now. It’s got the “worn” look.

lol. I hate this. Just answer the damn question or don’t. I’m not asking you to validate if what I’m doing is weird or not. It’s weird! I know! That’s none of your business. Just answer the damn question or don’t. Simple as.

get closed as a duplicate of the similar post
I’ve definitely had this happen to be before. It’s annoying.
What I do in that case is proactively say:
I’m facing problem X. I’ve tried searching for solutions. I found post X2 and X3 that are similar, but my problem is actually different because of Y.
Sometimes it helps.
Also, if you see people being assholes you can report them. There’s a flag for “unfriendly or unkind”. I’ve definitely used that before.
