Those days were so filled with optimism and wonder.

I haven’t thought about the project in a long time, it looks like it’s still alive and well.

Google is making your personal computer do work for them, without asking.

A great opportunity to pivot to using their vast resources to help save the world.

They have all this data that fucks people up, should be easy to just do the opposite.

The profits also aggregate at the top. The problem is it’s short term, and the later cost isn’t funded by the top as it’s a one-way flow.

Record profits, new product release: they’re often followed immediately by layoffs so the next quarter’s metrics look extra good and they can cash in.

The few poor souls remaining hold the fort until hiring starts again and the cash out cycle begins once more.

I may finally give Pulsar a go (a maintained Atom fork).

I really missed Atom when it died.

Is it legal to “verify” my age to be a minor? Would less of my information be collected?

…not that any of it is accurate anyway.

Like the original?

They wanted to “eat their own dog food” but it’s closer to “eating their own dog shit”

The mouth-breathing AI-bros that present to our very large company are revolting. In our industry the accuracy of our software is literally life or death.

And the presenter is all “teehee look at how cool it sorta kinda made a shitty web app to look at cats on a map and it took 5 tries to make it display a pulldown in the correct order teehee”

Yea dude, your middle school project isn’t impressing anyone.

I wouldn’t be so angry if we weren’t actually giving them money.
