It was managers, especially middle-managers. And if they are not happy, no one can be happy. Too bad middle-managers are always unhappy.

During COVID, I was bullied by my bosses and severely depressed. I gave my 2 weeks notice and, as part of transferring the knowledge, I drank a few strong beers and made a Zoom presentation in front of 50 people about some obscure assembly language stuff that no one cared about because it was too weird yet essential for the company. After one hour of being perfect, I answered some questions and I went back to sleep.

I won’t do it again though because it’s bad for one’s health, but it was awesome.

I achieve better results when I’m drunk-coding.

It would be logical to work less and get our own community. A lot of people work hard all their lives and die soon after retirement. That’s not logical.

What are the insults? All the old people around me are very nice.

AI slop, not programming. We have a winner!

How the fuck do I get started with cryptocurrency?

Take a $1 bill and burn it. Repeat that process as long as you don’t understand what shitcoins is all about.

God no. Don’t be stupid.

Who forces you? Employer: they buy you a new phone. Otherwise: ignore, call the cops, or dont use a smartphone

Register poopmethod.com, put static text on it and some ads, you’ll make millions with the productivity people.

Try to be a good father if you can. I don’t know how hard it is as I don’t have kids, but it’s the whole point of that day I guess. If I had kids, I would try my best to empower them without controlling them.

Rant: It took me 40 years to accept the fact that my father was (and still is) a selfish asshole that doesn’t care about his family. For example, he’d rather get technical advice from a salesman in a sketchy computer shop than asking me, a software engineer, for advice.

“As if millions of butts suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly hurt.”

Deezer is nice in theory but they seem to hate VPN and I had to login 10 times a day before I cancelled my subscription. I moved to Qobuz which only requires to disable the VPN once (when you subscribe).

We had the same propaganda with books, radio, and TV. Should we ban those things too?

I know all about this, but I’m at that point where I don’t give a fuck anymore. I browse the web with no cookies, and everything that Facebook has is a fake definition of who I am. It’s zuck’s own little world and it doesn’t concern me anymore.

zuck is a fucking pervert who masturbates to my own private information and I cannot do anything about it, so why would I care? I have way more important things to do (like taking care of my family), and people and politicians don’t want to do anything about it.

Easy solution: dont have a Facebook account.

Or live in a country with laptop-filled landfills or free old laptops roaming the streets.

I remember that, it was all the stolen code https://github.com/aenu1/aps3e/issues/1

It’s a lot of problems that I would never solve on my own, and both politicians and citizens don’t want to change: social media and AI are destroying humans, shitty parents dont want to take care of their kids, and climate change is destroying the world. It’s inevitable but the smartphone that I use is not responsible.

Smartphones are fine, it’s just a small computer that can make calls and is connected to the internet. You’re using it wrong.

If people can’t control themselves or their kids, it’s not my problem.
