Yeah, for clarity, I don’t think it can replace any dev. I mentioned senior because there’s a ton of soft skill and historical context involved that senior devs hold that is absolutely not replaceable. I’ve found AI to be helpful for grunt work and nothing else. It constantly chokes, even when being fed the entire codebase for reference.

Corporate goons always use fear as a tool. This coupled with fucking up the entire tech industry via layoffs, and suddenly engineer leverage basically flies out the window entirely. You can’t replace senior devs with AI. You can try and I will enjoy watching you fail.

It’s outsourcing all over again where the working class gets to clean up all of the mistakes of the dipshit MBA class.

I’m curious how many folks in the US basically go broke from truck payments and interest rates. I do pretty well working in tech and I still gasp whenever I look at truck prices here. They’re a massive fucking ripoff—even small trucks like the Ranger and Tacoma. I probably walk past folks on the daily that are paying 4-digits every month for a stupid status symbol, while they get paid like shit.

All of that sounds amazing together! Pickles are magical.

There’s a vegan place in town here that makes a buffalo seitan sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo. Nothing wild, but it has never once let me down and would be easy enough to recreate at home.

Damn, you reinvented yourself! Congrats!

The Panthers used to march armed as defense. They were tactical and knew their rights. We have to show as much restraint as possible in order to not let the narrative run away from us. This is going to be a long battle (we are what, 4 months into a 4-year window?) and we still have a ton of ground to cover. Bullets should be the absolute last ditch effort, but it must be made clear that as soon as cops decide that rubber bullets need to go away and the live ammo comes out, it’s chaos.

• Chasing ICE out with rocks and pockets of people are effective and make it harder for the police to kettle people
• Working together essentially as a modern day Underground Railroad to protect and hide folks ICE is looking for is also a tactic
• There are a ton of US military in CA that you know are wondering what the hell they’re doing there. They might simply be there as a show of force, but assume the worst. We could adopt a flyer campaign that attempts to get a message into the hands of soldiers. Maybe make some of them come to their senses about the fact that their dipshit president has called them up illegally and is willing to make them all traitorous accessories that shred the constitution. This one is inspired by airborne leaflet propaganda tactics the US govt has used abroad. If we can weaken their resolve and sway a handful of numbers, that’s less boots that are a threat
• Make roadways inaccessible for ICE vehicles. Drop massive rocks on the roads, barricades, dumpsters, whatever you can find. It might end up that they work on foot instead, but that means you’ve just made them more exposed (and given yourself a window to disable their transportation)
• Cover cop and ICE cars in paint. Make it so they’re a pain in the ass to see out of and operate. Do the same with cops. Reduced visibility means they have to retreat.

We have to be tactical and smart. We could be reckless and resort straight to the worst option available, but we know our enemy and how they function. Anger is a weapon when channeled properly. The police and the military are waiting for us to fire the first shot and then all bets are off. They will control the media and pull out all of the stops earlier than anticipated.

Violence isn’t off the table by any stretch, but there are better ways to utilize it. Everyone can play a part and there are tons of guides out there.

I have the anxiety and depression plugins, and I can’t uninstall them.

Also, ADHD meds really fuck my mood up, so I can’t take them. Wins all around!

Zen makes something like 84 external connections, which is around double what even Edge makes (and Microsoft has basically become a malware company).

It’s dead and they’re replacing it with an AI-first browser. Gross.

If you want the main things Arc gives you (vertical tabs, tab groups), you can get them with Firefox or a Firefox spinoff like Librewolf.

Every single one of these always links back to a government that absolutely refuses to help its people. It’s simple cause and effect.

Yes! I’ll keep an eye out for the registration.

I’m gonna die telling fascists to eat a bag of dicks as they try to arrest me for talking shit about Israel on my own Lemmy instance. That’s the country these fascists are shaping for us. An AI-driven hellscape.

Real life Computron!

Japanese kawaii culture.

This is basically Florida. Tons of massive trucks on the roads, all driven by assholes that I will judge absolutely by their truck alone.

I think the ever growing machismo bullshit in America has subconsciously made me a different (better) person out of spite. I grew my hair super long again, and embrace liking kawaii and other cute and chill cultures, despite being a straight cis white male that wears mostly black and listens to metal.

Why tf do people still buy these games? I have GamePass and still avoid them like the plague. The series hasn’t been good since like the first Black Ops.

Get ready. This is how all school textbooks are going to be from here on out—if they aren’t already. Probably worse.
