  The game is Webfishing. webfishing.net

  I expect they mean the site google.com, because that’s been my experience. Whenever I get captcha’d there for using a VPN (which is getting more and more common), I always see the Maps image style captcha. Like 60% of the time it tells me I’m wrong anyway and I just give up.

  Sometimes you’re just not very hungry.

  Correct, Backblaze is their own host and post on their blog often about their tech and processes. They’ve got a lot of good info on how they designed their server storage racks and stats on drive failures by brand etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a useful way for tech workers to express interest in a union?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You are correct but many workers in the US (tech and otherwise) are only aware of unions as historical tools of organized crime/corruption, or are libertarian (which gets higher representation in tech circles) and believe the free market will provide for them and/or that unions excessively harm companies. There are likely other reasons but these are reasons I’ve heard from people I know.

  These views are reinforced by corporate and libertarian (which is of course funded by corporate) propaganda.

  Much fun, thanks for starting it! I doubt I would’ve added much if you hadn’t opened with the delta.

  This is the reference I was using for the Constitution class, feel free to add to it or make changes: canvas.toast.ooo/#x=104&y=593&scale=5.27&template…

  If it’s not giving you a full URL to share for your own references, you can also just share the coordinates + image itself. For example mine is cdn.dribbble.com/users/7549/…/pixel-nc1701.png at coords (36,551) and width of 100.
