When I was a teen, the nearest health center was a LBGT-friendly one. And we got LOTS of free condoms.
Of course, I didn’t actually use any until much later in life. But still…

Not really what Valve did. Valve kept doing cool things that benefit the customer, while the competition actively drove them away.
I don’t follow social media. Is BlueSky feature rich and only getting better?
In my city, there’s a LOT of homeless addicts who abuse drugs. My city invested heavily in providing specialists who walk around with narcan and other supplies.
A few years prior to that, Law enforcement used to arrest these addicts.
I don’t know about you but content has gotten better for me.
Ranma 1/2, Squid Games, Super Mario Bros Movie, new season of Arcane. I felt like every 1-2 months, there was always something interesting.
Also note that I don’t pay for Netflix. I do own stock.
BUY MORE NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTIONS…
I worked for a company that hired a PR firm after we got 1-starred reviewed to hell because we shut down a right wing hate site.
To try to “improve our image”, one of the PR firms proposed we make a tiktok and wanted staff to do dumb ass dances?
Like wtf. We sell B2B.
I went to see HR a month ago and they had a post-it of their password for their password manager. We use passkeys too.
And this was after security training.
That was my take too.
Security training was something you know, and something you have.
You know your password, and you have a device that can receive another way to authorize. So you can lose one and not be compromised.
Passkeys just skip that “something you have”. So you lose your password manager, and they have both?
Tinfoil hat conspiracy coming up – the large quantity of layoffs meant security has been tossed aside.
Employed engineers not having the bandwidth, resources, time to bake in better security. Literally having to do more with less.
Fired engineers may had tribal knowledge on how something worked. Now only God knows.
Unemployed engineers are bored engineers. Not saying they did the deed, but maybe they discovered it.

As a person who manages people, I cannot fight for your raise if YOU don’t fight for your raise.
I cannot tell you how many times where something like this happens. I tell my higher ups, “Sarah should get promoted and increase her salary” and then my bosses go up to Sarah and she responds all limpdick like, “I like my job and I’m happy.”
God damn it Sarah! Flex a little. Talk about how you see a opening you want. Stop being a keyboard warrior on Work Reform and actually SAY IT OUT LOUD. Share your wins! Brag about your value to the company. Demand your worth to MY BOSSES TOO.
It’s not a single person who makes these decisions. It’s multiple people.
Nobody is going to hand you shit if you’re timid about it.
Reminds me of that Space Jam movie where all it did was shove pop culture references in every scene in the most shallow way possible.
I can’t find the meme but it was calling it a blender where you just go, “Oh look Scooby. Oh look Droogs. Oh look Steven Universe.”
Every conference/tech showcase is carefully staged to maximize investments.
Well, often times not Tesla.
The AI responses are so incredibly bad.
I searched for a video game walkthrough that has a similar name to a movie, and it GAVE ME THE MOVIE PLOT.
What a shit show.
I can’t say I’m liking DDG. The first page gives me the same domain links. Like when I search for “eye washing gifs”, the first three links is the same website. Where I’d expect it to give me three separate websites (and combine searches).
It does that for a few searches.
But then again, I’m not even liking Google.
Google: “Well surely, he couldn’t tank TWO massive social media engines in one lifetime!”
Oh man same!
2000s, with permission from the HS computer teacher, I was installing Red Hat on a few computers. It was ROUGH. Like, yeah we got it to show a desktop, but it was a nightmare to use anything but the basic applications. Windows just worked and after a few months, went back to that.
Only during the pandemic did I finally go Linux. Started with ElementaryOS (highly recommend for old people) and went through a dozen other flavors. What really pushed me to expert level was setting up Linux servers.
I no longer code on a Windows machine (unless I have to), and absolutely would recommend Linux to any end user. And now with Steam Deck/SteamOS, it’s only getting better. My gaming computer is still Windows, but I’m going to let it sunset. I barely use it except to play high-spec games that aren’t on Steam Deck. But that’s getting rarer and rarer.
My fantasy is that PC games become similar to roms, where it’s a single file. Maybe encoded is the system specs, OS, etc.
Then the “emulator” just works.
Of course, no financial incentives and a lot of work just to exist. Not to mention, it’ll be impossible to do for modern games. But maybe every game that’s older than 10 years old gets this treatment.
Also I’m not a OS engineer and maybe this is what Proton is doing with Linux.
Then pure decentralized gaming on any OS - computer, browser, raspberry pi, “smart Fridge”, whatever has the specs. And the game just works.
Absolutely! It’s representation!
