It’s really demoralising scraping by as an IT person in a western democracy, and then realising the outsource contractors your company hired for cheaper have a much better life than you. Simply because their earnings hold up better with the cost of living where they are.

Yeah and they grew up in a mansion in Argentina, or Cape Town, for “the climate”…
95·4 days agoThey need to join forces and make the Cyberplane!
The Boeing Tesla Cyberplane could be a revolution in aviation:
- First aircraft to use afterburners to overcome lack of aerodynamics
- Heavy and yet strangely flimsy construction
- Cell phones and radar can ignite the battery in flight
- Fuel efficiency can be throttled mid air by shedding parts
I think conservatives fan the outrage over this issue because it’s an easy distraction. Sex is gross and scary, harming kids is the worst thing imaginable and combining the two issues is disgusting. Some kids come from broken homes and this makes them more vulnerable to be exploited. I think conservatives know all this, and they also know that that guy who beats his wife and kids and might murder them later probably is one of their voters. So they complain about Hollywood and gay people to distract, but never go after well known perpetrators like priests and wealthy businessmen. So curious innit!
293·4 days agoStar Trek Discovery was so bad I had to just stop in the second last season… and I was only playing it as background noise at that point! I guess I’ll try this movie but if even Michelle Yeoh can’t save it I’m going back to old 1990s episodes…
Update: I got through it but holy shit… It had some good moments and other bits that felt like a Red Alert cut scene…

On Elon Musk’s X, animal abuse is the safe content.
In the United States, teenage kids were put on the sex offenders registry for sending each other nudes. Those laws are in place to protect minors from people who are not minors, but apparently the judges did not see it that way in sentencing. Gotta love the word of the law being worth more than its spirit!
23·10 days agoTo be honest she’s probably lucky this is week one and not a year in, when Trump would have her shot as an enemy of the president and criminal of the state.
3·17 days agoEntirely possible, but I didn’t want to assume! My dad didn’t know the Village People were gay and he was a grown adult with kids when people broke the news to him…
Sorry bud, but I think you just used to be more innocent.
Just look at the celebrities and culture of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s… Even the whole outrage culture pushed by conservative media like Fox News also goes that far back!
The fashion of the day changes but humanity itself… not so much!
1·18 days agoThere was a legitimate use case in art to draw on generative AI for concepts and a stopgap for smaller tasks that don’t need to be perfect. While art is art, not every designer out there is putting work out for a gallery - sometimes it’s just an ad for a burger.
However, as time has gone on for the industry to react I think that the business reality of generative AI currently puts it out of reach as a useful tool for artists. Profit hungry people in charge will always look to cut corners and will lack the nuance of context that a worker would have when deciding when or not to use AI in the work.
But you could provide this argument about any tool given how fucked up capitalism is. So I guess that my 2c - generative AI is a promising tool but capitalism prevents it from being truly useful anytime soon.

Tim Cook is hoping to be spared when Trump starts purging gay people.

Zuck is the sexual abstinence clown. No one can get horny with that face around!
