I walk past a couple bars a lot and they seem to have the same amount of people. All the outside tables had folks last night.
I’m not going to bars because I’m unemployed. Like I say, if capital wants me to spend money they can give me some, first.
I’d like to see a community for cool stuff happening in NYC.
I’d like to see more stuff for organizing protests and resistance, also for the NYC area.
I thought “Another one??” but clicked through and saw this is from June 17, 2025.
Same.
I read that book right after taking like English 400: Theory and Criticism, so I was like “yeah it has footnotes but doesn’t every book have footnotes?” Then I recommended it to a friend who hadn’t read a book more complex than harry potter in 20 years, and her brain like caught fire.
I send people to https://nohello.net/en/ all the time
Most people don’t know or care about reddit details. Every post could kick a puppy and people would be like “oh I forgot. But it’s where the content is so”
I have zero interest in this. :old man yells at cloud:
If they’re not going to leave the Republican party they’re trash, still
I feel like there are more senior job openings, but fewer entry level and mid level. At least with software, I’m seeing a lot of senior and “founding” posts. Maybe the Internet spy machine just thinks I should go for senior only, but I’d take mid level.
Nice! I switched my desktop from win11 to popos this weekend. So far so good, but all I’ve done is play some games (guild wars 2, binding of Isaac) and some quick tests (camera, HDMI to the TV, music)
I get a lot of music from Bandcamp. Unfortunately while unemployed I’m not spending much money on fun
I’ve read that a lot of users, including youth, don’t really understand file systems because modern computers don’t make you.
Personally I think just letting people live in ignorance is a mistake. Some people can’t be helped but I think many could, if presented with learning opportunities, if the default wasn’t bad.
The CEO at my old company really likes the expression “Let’s fucking go” for some reason. Lots of “LFG” in the work chat. I guess he eats a lot of LinkedIn slop or something.
But to me, “LFG” means looking for group. I’m sitting here like why is the CEO spamming for group content during the work day, and he’s not even saying what role he’s playing.
Ive been assuming since Sarah Palin that Alaska is majority idiots.
Good to know. I had some trouble a couple months back getting wifi and Ethernet working, and learned my phone can provide Internet over USB.
I know a guy that’s doing at least once a week, probably more, commute from DC to New York City. To be a product guy at a like 5 person company. As if you really need to be in a shared office to move jira tickets, ask eng again “How’s that feature coming?”, and so on. The CEO is a crazy person.
The CEO is also making the front end developer guy who lives in Connecticut come into the office 2-3 times a week. So he can work on his web page, the one with the code stored on github.
I hate all this “return to office” stuff. I don’t care about management’s feelings or real estate investments, and I don’t care about people who hate their family and can’t focus at home. Making people commute is a pay cut and a blow against labor.
Go look at “Wealth to Scale” if you haven’t already: https://dbkrupp.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
The amount of money the rich have is obscene and hard to visualize.
Bandcamp gives you drm free copies of the music. I think you can do flac, mp3, or ogg. They do recommend downloading your copy after buying it because in rare cases something can be removed
I’ve bought some CDs directly and then ripped the music myself, too.
We need to find out who the guards and staff were so they can be held accountable.
I’m not aware of any NYC communities, even inactive ones, on the fediverse, though I haven’t looked very hard. That link you provided errors out, if it’s supposed to work.
