I suspect this of a famous video game communications app that rhymes with Piss-Poured.

They’ve been advertising a job that I would love and be very good at for months now, I’ve applied three times every time they take down the ad and put it back up.

I even built them an interactive portfolio of my work that looks exactly like one of their servers, with brand colors and everything 🥲

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends (apnews.com)

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returned to his homeland Australia aboard a charter jet on Wednesday, hours after pleading guilty to obtaining and publishing U.S. military secrets in a deal with Justice Department prosecutors that concludes a drawn-out legal saga....

12 years in prison is more than you get for killing a child while drunk driving

The man embarrassed the US by leaking their DMs.

funkless_eck , (edited )

it was a deliberate understatement for comic effect.

Still, though, 12 years is only considered proportionate because the the government sets the law and the government was embarrassed.

Its not a complete defence of Assange, his behaviors, his sketchy connections to Russia - but it is me saying that whistle-blowers are disproportionately punished not because it’s in the public interest

funkless_eck ,

Yes but you’re saying “it’s a big crime because the people who stand to benefit from it being a big crime say it’s a big crime.”

While I’m not saying all and any espionage/treason is good, I’m asking why one would think these memoranda are worth more than human life?

Were they? Would the world be better off with Assange dead?

funkless_eck ,

Agreed in principle but it’s been nigh on 20 years and we’re yet to find someone that was killed as an upshot of the leak.

If you have information to the contrary I’d be keen to hear it.

funkless_eck ,

Risk, yes, but we know now that no one was hurt. It’s very different when you know what the consequences are.

capucin- prefix comes from the Latin for “hood,” and by synecdoche means “monks” (who wear hoods)

Cafe Cappuccino has the same roots.

It's wild how many job listings might be fake (www.businessinsider.com)

Resume Builder, which offers résumé templates, surveyed nearly 650 hiring managers in May and found nearly seven in 10 said it was “morally acceptable” to post fake jobs. Hiring managers credited the move with increasing revenue, morale, and how much workers get done....

the company who just appointed the guy who ruined Google search as their CEO might be shady, say it isn’t so!

first one isn’t free

second one you have to migrate posts using ctrl+c ctrl+v and then hand type the publish date

third one you have to already have built your own SQL database

bastards doesn’t even begin to cover it any more. I don’t think there is word bad enough - even cunts - to adequate describe their bullshit.

funkless_eck ,

it wasn’t, though.

Perhaps if you could name the site, the protestes, the cause and the method we could go “Yeah that would be much/slightly better/worse” but I don’t think we’d get much more out of it than that.

funkless_eck ,

Promotions haven’t been worth it for 30 years. Most people stick around cuz it’s a PITA getting a new job

This could be a 90 commute in each direction depending on where it is.

I used to do Clapham to Cricklewood - which at rush hour could be up to 2 hours if there were delays or it was too busy to fit on a tube.

I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity (ludic.mataroa.blog)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can’t manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn’t laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI...

Similarly, my current job (now ending as they want to end remote work and I don’t want to move to a desert in a very red/religious area)- I guided them out of “block chain for supply chain” (lmao it’s cringe to even say that now) into “AI for productivity automation”

I give it 3 years max before all mentions of AI are scrubbed from the home page

I mean you do in the US as well, but it’s called “A Netflix/Hulu/Disney Plus membership”

And it only funds one channel instead of dozens of TV, radio, web, apps, weather and news channels.

Queen’s dodger can mean

it is WILD how often the power goes out here.

Multiple times a year - sometimes for days at a time. We had to claim the contents of our fridge and freezer on insurance after it went out for 4 days.

we just have exterior/above ground power lines on poles connected to the eaves of the buildings in a state with a lot of inclement weather and large amount of leafy tree growth.

funkless_eck ,

Do you count power going out for a few seconds? I feel like that happens at least once a month, whereas that was hugely irregular in the UK?

funkless_eck ,

yes I have four UPSeseses in my house!

It’s tempting to blame it on the house, but I’ve lived in four different places (although all in the same area) — three houses and one apartment that all do it.

They could have been caffeine gummies and he was talking about them being illegal in the eyes of the LDS church in Utah.

How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?

I’ve been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote. I just had an introductory phone call with Vizio (which didn’t specify the location type in the job listing). The recruiter told me that the job was fully on-site, which I told her was a deal...

funkless_eck ,

I dont know if I agree with the work life balance.

Shower, groom, dress and commute starting at 6.30am, work 8.30–5.30 and commute to 6.30/7

or work 8.45-5.15ish and maybe spend an extra hour or two coupla times a week?

Huge difference.

Also Judge Dredd has clown folk who are essentially juggalos.

what’s interesting to me about the term degenerate- having been called it a few times for being bi - is it either means “inhuman” or “different” depending on how you interpret it.

Which, yeah, it’s different to being het, no shit Sherlock, but how is something that humans do instinctually not a human function?

Fucking dumbasses.

40% of death penalty convictions are later exonerated.

If it was 1% you might have a case, but pretty much “clearly showing signs” is akin to flipping a coin right now.

it’s more interesting to me you think Britney Spears wasn’t marketed towards men.

I mean do we understand evolution better than gravity?

The last panel indicates someone at the bleeding edge of science, at that level too, surely there’s mystery in biology as well?

funkless_eck ,

Is that really the case? I’m a layman so I may fuck this up - but do we truly understand why the locus of an allelomorph can change and how and why which phenotypic traits are affected or unaffected by addition and deletion?

I get the impression there is not model for why sometimes thousands of base pairs can fuck off with no impact, and sometimes it changes the organism unrecognizably.

in my org it’s a single process to deprovision someone of access to all tools including home devices.
