happy new years ! <3

I can't see any use of these things that aren't blogspam / SEO / propaganda. Which is half the internet already but now it's cheaper .. whee

The AI art things were at least quite pretty. This stuff is just dreadful.

Fiddled with it more, seems to only happen on the bottom right part, and not consistently. Here's a screenshot, you can't see but I've pressed the green button a few times and nothing happened.

Legit tho, this is like the nitpickiest of nitpicks. The app works great and is so lovely <3

Not a very important bug, but with some fiddling you can get it so that one of the pieces is hovering over the board but not placed into a slot, and when you hit the green return all pieces button that one doesn't get returned.

Great app btw! Such a fun lil puzzle :)

That's absurd -_+

Is the IUD change a sneaky anti-birth-control thing or the same money grubbing grift as the rest of it?

fair enough, I'm all for being smug tbh, worded it wrong maybe.

just disagree with the very banker / techie idea that donating is better and that really is there any more noble moral good than working for Facebook. (or worse, founding facebook)

or I guess put differently-

for every oil baron that donates their wealth, a better impact to the world and the better thing to do would be to not have gotten all that dirty money to begin with. it's not robin hood if what you're robbing is the commons.

SBF doing it purely for PR like in the article is obviously even worse than both for sure

Jeff Bezos just pledged 100%, never thought it was gonna happen, wonder how that plays out

yeah..

I hate that aspect of EA where donating is the greatest possible good regardless of where the money comes from. Like, in the end the people you're paying to do the cool thing are the ones actually doing the cool thing you're just sitting there feeling smug about it.

(Not trying to bash donations as a concept but aaa it just frustrates me)

tech's awful, finance is awful, god forbid they combine

Read Bullshit Jobs mainly on Klienbl00's reccomendation. Very excited to start Debt next. Thank you for the suggestion, even if it wasn't personal. Great book <3

I see a lot of my job in that book, having just finished year two of my company's project to make their product more confusing and buggy.

Wasn't trying to start an argument, just confused, sorry. Totally agreed that the courts stole the election in 2000, that pollsters routinely get things terribly wrong, and that any predicted red wave or trump resurgence thankfully never happened.

My point was mostly that I feel like Biden 's first term was already lame duck due to Manchen and now it will be slightly lamer with the house flipped too.

As have Lyft and Stripe and Salesforce, and (of course) Twitter and every other tech company you've heard the name of

Speaking as a tech worker, screw 'em all, let it burn. The whole damned industry is a scam

I don't see how there's that much wiggle room left. The Senate is 48/48 now, with Alaska all but assured R, so the best possible case is 51/49. And through blatant hacky partisanship from the supreme courts that allow Republican gerrymandering but deny it for Democrats, there's essentially no hope of keeping the house.

Most of the results are in already and there's been very little surprises so far. Just the same tedious dread seeing that 48% or so of the voting country seem to care more about inflation than their fellow man.

From what I've seen, the House is predicted to flip republican and the Senate has some close races but best case will continue to be tied down by Manchen. Why do you expect the next two years not to be lame duck?

(certainly it's not a Republican sweep so it could have been worse for sure)

I love this description

Same - and honestly while it's definitely quieter than ideal right now, being a quiet intimate part of the internet was always the appeal, for me at least.

If it's just people sharing life stories once a month on pubski that's fine by me

Same as Elizabeth said - I don't have much to add but I definitely appreciate reading it, and wish you the best :)

I love that band so much <3

What perfect timing!

I'm just having an argument right now with one of my friends about whether GenZ cares about 9/11 and the great recession, or if there's newer & trendier issues now.

So, uh, do ya? :p

y'all have almost certainly already seen it, but for whoever hasn't, Jon Bois' mariners documentary was one of the highlights of the early pandemic for me :)

definitely reccomend

(tho Bob Emergency is still my #1 fav)
