Read that book in two days. Wild stuff. Of course I don't absolve Sarah Wynn for of her responsibility that is Facebook and it's completely maliciously run company. She is also complicit I don't care how many "I was trying to do the right thing! Whaa!" she sprinkled throughout the book.
The fact that they successfully got the book removed from sale for a while speaks volumes. They not only lie they are encouraged to.
One dev allowed remote debugging which introduced a backdoor and what's really bad about it is there was no prompt that the remote debugger had been started. He said he thought it would make debugging easier. That was a wtf moment for me. Sure, introduce that feature if you know what you're doing. The devs seem really inexperienced which is concerning.
This seems pedantic. I am trying to wrap my head around why "family sharing" is an issue here. You want to share with someone, use family sharing I don't see what the issue is.
No motivation, sure. But do they even care? Most people just don't care about this stuff. You try to get them to care and they "say, yeah, okay, yeah, I know" as they roll their eyes and go back to scrolling Instagram or whatever.
The apathy is real and I don't see it getting better.
My interests vary so widely that my home feed is awful. I like watching videos on power tools, software development, video games, sports highlights, math, and other, less focused things like the hoard of cat video channels I sub to to keep existential dread at bay.
I get recommended right leaning videos and videos with ads for manscaped and I'm neither a conservative or a man. It's super weird so I tend to separate my interests into two apps: the YouTube web app for "junk food content" and FreeTube when I want to learn and focus. It's the only way I've found to not be fed the random content carrots while falling down the rabbit hole.
This is interesting. How do you support yourself if it’s not about the money? Are you in the US? If you are have you noticed you will be paying $10 for a dozen of eggs?
In what world does getting a PhD for curiosity make sense in 2025? It’s not even about money, it’s about literal survival.
The people here in this thread talking about getting a PhD to satisfy an interest in a subject must have never gone to bed for dinner because if they had they’d understand why this position they’re taking doesn’t make a lick of sense.
Want your thoughts. Every time I watch this channel, I feel like everything is overkill. Why does one need k3s to run homelab services, or colocating your infrastructure when it is just you and your partner? I am trying to understand it.
Yes. I tried to click on that twice; the first time within the text of the toast button and then on the right chevron. I really hate having to wait when it's arbitrary and doesn't add anything to the challenge.
I have this disorder. When you are starting to feel psychosis coming it gets incredibly difficult to shake.
I used to believe that god was speaking to me about how to love and abide by him through songs by Fiona Apple, Chris Cornell, whatever the hell I was listening to at the time. I would tell the techs in the place I was at to listen to the songs and I tried to convince them it was god, to which they would respond it was not.
There was a period of time where I was non-compliant with my medication because they didn't actually work. I stopped taking them altogether and I went into the deepest psychotic episode I'd ever had till that point. I would listen to things like Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel and get so freaked out I'd run to the bathroom and pray. Mind you, I had been awake for three straight days at the point, while going with 10 hours of sleep a week, at most. I called Crisis one night and told them there were demons outside of my door and if they could not remove them I was going to jump out of my apartment window. It may sound ridiculous but that was the most fearful I've ever been in my entire life, and I've been through awful awful shit.
Lately, as a middle aged person, my hallucinations have become even weirder. Hallucinating white bubbles that fill my entire vision or feeling like my face is made out of jagged alphabet blocks jutting out of my face.
I am not sure why this happens. I've been dealing with mental illness since I was at least 9, which is when I started to hear voices. By 11 I was crying everyday after school. By 12 the mania started to become real and then the hallucinations my freshman year that led to my first suicide attempt at 14. That was the year I got diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder which has morphed into Schizoaffective Disorder.
Brains are wild, wacky, unreliable little mounds of fat and water, no?
Could also say it's happened at Twitter, too, outside of sports Twitter. When I had my main account with 2K followers for years engagement was pretty high and consistent. Then Twitter made sharing links to your own content impossible to drive engagement to your own content which, considering the amount of anger and virtue signaling on Twitter, caused me to use it less and less.
Then Elon bought it and it became a right wing platform for what I can only describe as fascism disguised as "free speech". I'd log in and see virtually no one over time. Granted my main account was very tech/developer heavy and those communities seem to skew left. But I decided it just made me sad to login and have to see how hollow it was.
Glad to have experienced it 2014-2016 though. That was peak Tech Twitter for me.
I can't seem to find the pricing for Nango Cloud without going through a Typeform form.
I don't want to spin up a droplet or Linode only to have the tokens stored unencrypted and in plain text in, IIUC, the client? I understand the need to keep things tight as a small OSS startup but my project is a one dev show on a small scale.
I want to check this out but having to self-host with very real security risks is a no go for me.
