Ding dong Donny’s dead

No, I had it for awhile, but dropped it around 2017 when the Cambridge Analytica shit dropped and it became apparent why my feed was flooded with crazy polarizing political propaganda that was making people from totally unrelated areas of my life fight each other online. Nothing like seeing a former coworker arguing with your 15 year old cousin over some QAnon conspiracy theory on some post.

70 in the winter. And, and we don’t have AC because most days are cool enough in the summer.

Yeah, it’s not anonymous and you can correlate activity. With KYC laws, it is be possible to identify who converted to BTC and who converted back to fiat if you’re using a regular old broker like Coinbase.

“Shift left” by doing all the work yourself

Plan, design, code, test, debug, deploy, handle incidents, it’s all your job!

I think they were mostly just desperate for people who could do the job and wouldn’t quit within a month. I always got my work done, but I learned I’m not cut out for customer service.

Used to work a chain coffee shop. Had a closing shift by myself, but would randomly get slammed with large groups of people. On occasion when customers were rude to me while I was trying to do everything on my own, I just snapped and swore at them and gave them the finger. I thought I was going to get fired when word got back to my manager, but all I ever got were raises and eventually promoted to assistant manager.

Bro, I worked for a company that literally offered us and non-technical staff a coding boot camp. I asked if I could be promoted if I did the boot camp since they were offering it to people a level above me. I already knew everything in the boot camp, as did everyone I worked with. They refused. But, then they also laid my team and I off a month later and some how kept all the people that did the boot camp. It made no damn sense. It’s like the higher ups had no idea what a boot camp was, but thought it would be cutting edge and innovative if it was offered. They were clueless. Meanwhile, they cut everyone with those skills.

I won’t lose sleep over it

Please make a version with Elon Musk

This is not inspiring. Enough jokes.

Where are people organizing?

He is pointing to these apparent offers, likely to gain attention and as a way to pressure people to donate to his kickstarter.

Yeah this guy toying with selling is pretty insulting to anyone trying to help him out.

That’s funny because it’s not difficult at all to build an app like this. The value in buying such a business would be the scale of its user base, which is likely only several thousand at this point. And, if it were sold, most people would leave since most of those users are just dipping a toe in at this point to see what the app is like. Frankly, the content sucks. People are using this app out of goodwill and an interest in helping to build an alternative to the corpo apps. If dansup sells or does not open source, then that goodwill evaporates.

I have friends around in other places, and where I live now, but things just are different in adulthood. On one hand, I can and do connect with some of these people occasionally. On the other hand, it’s not like my early life where every day I was around peers and hanging out with people. I’ve kind of adjusted to this and enjoy my solitude.

Had errors like this once. Wracked our brains for hours. Eventually realized we had an old version of the code running on some hosts and the new version running alongside it on others. The code had changed enough that the line numbers didn’t make sense anymore.

Is there one discussing organizing resistance?

They’re pretty much doing the same thing today in Ukraine.
