This is where they malfunction every time. The propaganda they’ve been fed tells them that all leftists are liberals and vice versa. As soon as you step outside of that structure, they become unmoored.

Had some libertarian try to discredit my views and claim they were all from the mainstream media I watch. Homie, I don’t watch, nor read any of that corporate media liberal horseshit. Try again.

The ad industry is an abusive ex that complains when you defend yourself.

God that sucks. I was laid off for 3 months and hated it. I can’t even fathom 2 years. That is rough, friend.

I should clarify that my post is mostly about the tech industry because that’s all I really know. It’s a field where you can get some leeway and figure shit out. If you’re a doctor, they’re gonna check your background and credentials pretty thoroughly and I don’t recommend lying in a field like that.

Do whatever you need to do. Lie on your resume; use AI; automate job applications; rewrite your resume using any tool you can find. It’s a cutthroat environment and I don’t envy anyone trying to find a job right now. Someone I know has been trying for a year and a half and still nothing.

The tech capitalists have captured full control of the industry and they now hold all of the leverage. We don’t have the room we once did for bargaining.

Also, when you do a peer review, say nothing but positive things unless the person is vile. Support fellow working class folks. We can struggle together.

You asleep or something?

Nobody is crying about getting arrested. The fascists are arresting anyone they please without due process. The people risking their safety know the risks. ICE and the police are breaking the law by obscuring their faces and badge numbers, but you’re complaining about working class folks breaking laws written by the ruling class. Laws that they constantly ignore.

Yes, we should follow the laws like our government officials and police always do. Give me a fucking break lmao.

What the fuck, this story is insane.

It’s not actually illegal but it is heavily restricted. Basically no over-the-counter or online purchase kits:

According to the provisions of the Genetic Information Law, genetic tests can only be performed in Israel in medical-genetic laboratories approved by the Ministry of Health according to the conditions specified in the law.

The tweet is also only partially true based on what I can find. It’s not illegal to post the results publicly, but it wouldn’t surprise me if posts like that mysteriously vanished from platforms.

Yeah, for clarity, I don’t think it can replace any dev. I mentioned senior because there’s a ton of soft skill and historical context involved that senior devs hold that is absolutely not replaceable. I’ve found AI to be helpful for grunt work and nothing else. It constantly chokes, even when being fed the entire codebase for reference.

Corporate goons always use fear as a tool. This coupled with fucking up the entire tech industry via layoffs, and suddenly engineer leverage basically flies out the window entirely. You can’t replace senior devs with AI. You can try and I will enjoy watching you fail.

Don’t worry. MAGA dummies will find a way to support it. They’ll twist themselves into a pretzel if required.

I’m curious how many folks in the US basically go broke from truck payments and interest rates. I do pretty well working in tech and I still gasp whenever I look at truck prices here. They’re a massive fucking ripoff—even small trucks like the Ranger and Tacoma. I probably walk past folks on the daily that are paying 4-digits every month for a stupid status symbol, while they get paid like shit.

Zen makes something like 84 external connections, which is around double what even Edge makes (and Microsoft has basically become a malware company).

It’s dead and they’re replacing it with an AI-first browser. Gross.

If you want the main things Arc gives you (vertical tabs, tab groups), you can get them with Firefox or a Firefox spinoff like Librewolf.

Every single one of these always links back to a government that absolutely refuses to help its people. It’s simple cause and effect.

Yes! I’ll keep an eye out for the registration.

It’s the simplest conflict on the face of the planet. There is nothing complicated about it, just like the Holocaust was not a complicated thing to grasp. The problem is that no one is immune to propaganda. It’s why even mentioning China in the US makes people uneasy and abruptly stupid. Someone that might otherwise be one of the most articulate people you know, will suddenly become a 2-dimensional dipshit if you mention China, Israel, or Palestine. Undoing that indoctrination takes work—the kind of work a lot of folks are too lazy or busy to care about.

I’m gonna die telling fascists to eat a bag of dicks as they try to arrest me for talking shit about Israel on my own Lemmy instance. That’s the country these fascists are shaping for us. An AI-driven hellscape.
