Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I’ve been playing Enshrouded instead. But I’ll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.

15 years ago I got a job where I wasn’t allowed to do anything. I hated it. I wanted to learn and be valuable and be valued. I left that job.

I worked for a bank and then Red Hat and I loved what I did and burned myself out trying to make them happy. Only to find out they still didn’t value me.

I switched jobs two years ago and increased my pay 30% overnight and back to a job doing nothing. And I’m totally fine with it now. I have a family and I focus on them and during work, if they don’t have anything for me to do I make my own happiness.

Fuck corporations. I’ll take your money, I’ll never again kill myself as I’ll never be valued anyway. Jobs aren’t worth it. People are.

I LOVE this bit:

"will stop measuring its success in new subscribers, but in growth byr egional revenue."

We’re hitting our self defined goals JUST fine guys!

Pays $40 billion to allow people to be shadow toxic. What an amazing innovator in our midsts. We’re all just so jealous we wish we could be so genius …

Fucking moron.

Not all companies NEED cloud and containers. But execs push it anyway. That’s my point. As I said, they have actual use, but not EVERYONE NEEDS this shit. It’s just tech-bros telling us we need it and execs being too stupid to know otherwise.

Oh shit, already forgot

The next big thing is “investing” in NFTs!

The next big thing is moving all of your servers to the cloud!

The next big thing is moving all of your software to containers!

The next big thing is moving all of your money to crypto!

The next big thing is moving everything to AI!

Yes we’re in ANOTHER tech gold rush. Not saying these things don’t have their place, but the tech industry is infatuated with the next big thing and burning through money and the ones that get burnt are the average working folks. Ask me how I know, currently in year two of a hiring and pay freeze as AWS isn’t as cheap as predicted… Who could have fucking guessed? They mean besides everyone but the CTO that’s fucking who!

In other words

Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 85% of first one failed.

I stream on Owncast and really enjoy it. One of the easiest installations I’ve ever had with software. And despite what lots of folks think you don’t need a million dollars to stream to groups of folks.

Full disclosure I run the !owncast@lemmy.world community and actively promote it on Matrix if anyone is interested or need help. :-D

“Reddit has given access to YOUR conversations and posts to AI companies.”. FTFY

These were created by people, for peoole, and I will ALWAYS disagree that this data is Reddit’s or any other platforms.

Don’t forget your direct messages aren’t end to end encrypted on Reddit, so now AI will be trained on your craziest “private” conversations

Because they don’t need real facts or reasoning. ARE YOU QUESTIONING MANAGEMENT?!?!

Having been in the corporate world for 14 years, they’re all awful, they’re all dysfunctional. I just got written up for saying “It’s demoralizing for people when the company has a hiring and pay freeze.” I’m allowed to say it, just not in public … They’re all awful.

If it is then please let me know and I won’t do it anymore. I don’t see it on the sidebar.

I don’t connect my “smart” TV to my network. I just plug in a Linux powered tiny form factor PC and use it as a large monitor and it’s AMAZING. This “smart” crap is totally f’ing stupid.

Thanks for posting. Just signed up to the list. I have my own GoToSocial, but I’d still love to check out Mozilla’s Mastodon.

Brilliant! Thank you so much for the recommendation! :-)

And already I’ve learned about referencing communities in Lemmy, thank you Mr. Lemmy bot, whoever you are.

And thank you to folks for helping me realize that I don’t have a clue how to create a post. URL OR Picture. Not both. :-D

This blog actually prompted me to set up a lemmy community !owncast@lemmy.world and I shared the blog there and just saw your post as well. :-D

I <3 the #fediverse and #owncast is such an amazing piece of it. Let’s take back the internet!
