I know a guy that’s doing at least once a week, probably more, commute from DC to New York City. To be a product guy at a like 5 person company. As if you really need to be in a shared office to move jira tickets, ask eng again “How’s that feature coming?”, and so on. The CEO is a crazy person.

The CEO is also making the front end developer guy who lives in Connecticut come into the office 2-3 times a week. So he can work on his web page, the one with the code stored on github.

I hate all this “return to office” stuff. I don’t care about management’s feelings or real estate investments, and I don’t care about people who hate their family and can’t focus at home. Making people commute is a pay cut and a blow against labor.

Go look at “Wealth to Scale” if you haven’t already: https://dbkrupp.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

The amount of money the rich have is obscene and hard to visualize.

Bandcamp gives you drm free copies of the music. I think you can do flac, mp3, or ogg. They do recommend downloading your copy after buying it because in rare cases something can be removed

I’ve bought some CDs directly and then ripped the music myself, too.

I’m from the US, but I don’t know its origins beyond what that wiki page says.

We need to find out who the guards and staff were so they can be held accountable.

It’s unfair rick scott gets to keep living

Capitalism as expected. Workers can work all they want but the owners keep most of the profits

Do you have money? If so, buy music you like from the artists. Bandcamp is pretty good (though they sold out, and might enshittify).

I’ve been buying music for years and have a big library now

Since forever? “half your page plus 7” has long been a guideline, so a 40 year old’s floor would be 27.

(40/2) + 7 = 27

Apparently wikipedia even has a section on this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships#"Half-your-age-plus-seven"_rule

When a certain saint allegedly shot a CEO dead on the street, there was a big surge in support. Sadly, no one else has followed suit.

A lot of people are sick of the ownership class ruining everything, and would cheer for spilled blood.

If someone shot the ceo of uber dead, people would celebrate. They’re all scum.

Conservatism is entirely “in-group to protect, out-group to hurt”. So, so. They don’t. They are worse then toddlers.

Mint didn’t work at all on my last desktop. I should have tested more with the live disk before installing.

The mint discord I found was pretty helpful though.

A reasonable guess, but i think I (re-)read all of Pratchett as an adult and didn’t come across it

Any ethical super intelligence would immediately remove billionaires from power. I’d like to see that.

I feel like, as an average white ~40 year old guy in a major city, getting dates and sex wasn’t that hard. But from what I’ve heard, the bar is extremely low. Like, all the woman I talk to (and the men who date men) have horror stories.

I think my worst dates were like… they mildly insulted me.

Neither of those come close to, like, various threats, violence, boundary breaking, and unsolicited dick picks that seem too common.

This is one of those “people hate every piece of capitalism, but refuse to connect the dots to see the picture” things.

If republicans had empathy or critical thinking skills, they wouldn’t be republicans. They’re little better than toddlers.

Tesla is lucky no one took matters into their own hands. Sleep deprivation makes people crazy. Keeping people up all hours with dubiously legal construction noises and lights? If I was on the jury for someone who burned the place down, I’d nullify.

The other day I saw someone posting about wanting to bring webrings back.

Unfortunately, it’s really hard to get people to care about things. “This site is convenient and your friends are here” trumps “and it’s run by nazi sympathizers” for most people, somehow.

That reminded me of https://dogparkdissidents.bandcamp.com/track/rainbow-drones-2
