did you think of all the taxes they’ll cut from the rich? no, you only think about yourself and what will happen to you in an emergency

This is what it comes down to.

Rich people matter.

I would imagine the California State Guard much like anyone else in the military would likely tend to err more on Trump’s side anyway though.

For the most part I’ve only ever been on smaller teams anyway, my largest team has been my current job with like 15 developers but there’s so much work to go around, so many projects constantly being worked on it’s kind of expected to have this many (and still be hiring more every year) lol

The real answer is somewhere in between.

There’s going to be less programming jobs, but there’s still always going to be some demand for them, there’s always going to be some technical knowledge required, even if just “prompt engineers” or similar concepts. Things still need to be built and fixed, and if you’ve worked for enough project managers/product managers, you know their lack of technical knowledge would not be enough to even prompt an LLM much less do anything else.

Well my knee is injured for the past 3 weeks and counting so I don’t think I’m going to be doing any manual labor any time soon, I think I’m going to keep at my work from home programming job instead.

Laughs in Linux

Sorry, I had to.

I’ve had a knee injury the past 3 weeks and counting so I’ve not been able to do much of anything else, so I’d say yes.

I love that song so much.

I wish they put out a Bee Sharps album with the full songs, they never did that and I am so disappointed they didn’t.

A 20 minute video on how to replace your battery with batteries that are glued down and you need a pry tool to remove them and hopefully not puncture them is not exactly what I would call user-replaceable batteries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFxS5wQ5Bhc

I’m talking about ones like the Samsung Galaxy S3, Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS, etc had where you could just open the cover, take the battery out, and then put the new one in.

The hardware was certainly designed to be less repairable and phones less upgradable. Gone are the days with user-replaceable batteries and MicroSD card slots.

WhatsApp is owned by Meta, so you should expect that they will do this soon enough if they aren’t doing it already.

Sure if that was all they had in mind. This is also about collecting info and controlling what people can do, the content is just an excuse as a means of doing so.

Sad to see France is heading this direction, Canada was very close to heading this route too, thankfully it didn’t end up that way.

I’m man enough to admit that I thought he was the closest thing we had to Tony Stark even though I knew at the time he wasn’t really that close to Tony Stark, and now I know just how wrong I was. Damn.

Well, that makes more sense than it being a mattress lol

I think there’s probably no chance of that, unfortunately it will just be innocent people who suffer.

Honestly that’s probably a safer bet.

Yeah, OpenVPN definitely doesn’t have light spec requirements 😅 thankfully hardware is unfathomably powerful these days.

Is that… a mattress? What is that lol

Or be like me stuck in the 2000s using OpenVPN still in 2025 lol
