Because having a CEO earning 100x of an average employee disincentivizes looking for stable, consumer-friendly income streams.

Why would the leadership want that, the only way they can continue paying themselves that much money is by sucking big tech's tit.

(let me preach a little, I have to listen to my boss gushing about AI every meeting)

Compare AI tools: now vs 3 years ago. All those 2022 "Prompt engineer" courses are totally useless in 2025.

Extrapolate into the future and realize, that you're not losing anything valuable by not learning AI tools today. The whole point of them is they don't require any proficiency. It "just works".

Instead focus on what makes you a good developer: understanding how things work, which solution is good for what problem, centering your divs.

Fair on both counts.

I would not risk travelling to russia as a resident of its neighbor, both because russia can send you to jail/trench, and because your residency can be easily revoked/not extended. Permanently living somewhere as a non-citizen is a vulnerable position, and getting a citizenship is often outside your control.

Thank you for going mask off so we can all block you 🙃

You need 10 years of residence before you can apply, and from what I hear from friends it's not a sure thing. So you may be stuck living as a resident for much longer than that.

Is it fair to not being able to go see your relatives for years/decade+? I'd pay that price for getting out of russia (well I already am paying it, albeit not to Lithuania) doesn't make it right tho.

But then again, as long as ru/br immigrants are still able to enter, live and obtain citizenship, can't really be mad at the baltics they're in a tough position.

Ironically, pixels are best for de-googling (stock android that can be easily un- and re-locked)

I love Firefox (its my browser) but It's insane to say it requires 400 millions per year.

That's 4000 people at 100k salary. Browsers are complicated, but you do not need an actual town of developers to maintain one.

Most MS controversial features go through "opt in -> opt out -> mandatory" pipeline examples are Telemetry, Windows Live account, Spotlight (ui ads), etc.

Its beautiful 🥲

I've resigned myself that this will be the state of memes in the future, but god would I take a paint doodle over this.

.. only for ai to start drawing paint doodles because making an effort is not a human nature

We gotta increase the productivity of meme generation, obviously.

Also the productivity of eating, socializing, and fucking. Those items really make my life a drag, can we get chatgpt on that.

One of the best part of shadowrun was picking irl city and giving it a fantasy+cyberpunk makeover: placing districts of note, choosing what factions operate there, riffing on landmarks..

Venice is where church agents, mafia goons and old money are bidding for awakened relics while gig workers are trying not to drown in half sunken apartments.

Detroit is, of course, a jungle of mega factories and spacescrapers. Robo-cops? Naah, there was a trial run, but the tin men always go psycho from sensory depravation. We'll stomp our ~~citizens~~ scum the old fashion way, thank you very much.

Moscow metro runs through literal hell. Also grab a molotov, Lenin has risen and calling for a revolution against the corpos. Why are his eyes red? Uhh.. communism?

Session 0 was always a blast. (Minus explaining new players how to use chummer5)
