It’s Facebook for corporate shills and people who pretend to be one when looking for a job.

Having a digital only version of a console is very concerning from an e-waste point of view. It’ll be an odd-shaped brick years later when the digital store front is long gone and the old SSD gets corrupted.

I’ll completely jump ship once SolidWorks can run on Linux. Wine is still a little iffy with it.

I hate to say it but there are simply so many subjects to cover in a single day that it’s hard to reinforce the lessons learned in class within the given amount of time in a school session. Maybe if schools were structured in a way in which fewer subjects were taught each day would the lessons stick better without the need of homework.

Recruiters keep asking me to apply and I must’ve told them to pound sand about 3 times in the past 2 years.

The janitor works for $8/hour out of desperation. The CEO works for $10k/hr out of greed. The difference in pay rates based on position should be regulated. I think a CEO should only be paid at most 10 times more than the lowest paid job in any organization. That way everyone will have some parity and a shot at a decent life even at the low end.

We’ve been down this road before. It just takes a few determined hackers to find a workaround. I can’t wait to see what their solution would be.

I really hope they don’t act out on blowing up satellites. Kessler Syndrome will ruin any hopes of future space habitation and exploration for generations to come.

We can all do our part by not buying anything from those who do this.

I can’t say I’ve read all his content but Little Brother and Homeland are good examples of how technology can help aid in fascism. Sure it’s a little over the top but it made me more aware of how corporations can be used to overstep our rights and privacy. You’re free to hate on him all you want but the truth is he’s actually doing something to push back and make us all aware instead of just saying to just be okay with it.

Please don’t do this! Rich people love living in obscurity, it keeps attention and anger from their stupid decisions away from them and on to some scapegoat. This is like the opposite of the Streisand Effect and will only serve their interests. I know it’s annoying to keep seeing the same billionaires in the headlines but the alternative is to be passive about their awful projects and the harm they’re doing to the world. You’ll only be doing them a favor with this addon.

The Powder Mage trilogy by Bryan McClellan. Its world is set in the middle of an industrial revolution where you have some more traditional mages running around, but also a new breed of mages that consume gunpowder to do all sorts of interesting things. It’s not a very “deep” story but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

The Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks has a very good hard magic system. It explores themes of identity, the problems of adhering to dogma, and has a likeable main character.

The Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch is a kind of swashbuckling adventure style story. Its world is very well developed (for the few locations the story takes place in) and have some of the most memorable characters I’ve ever read. This is one of those books that made me laugh out loud at some of the situations.

The Demon Cycle series by Peter V. Brett also has a great world setting. The world used to be very technologically advanced before demons started to invade from the underworld and nearly wiped out humanity. The world regressed to a more medieval style society with small cities and villages surviving only by the use of runes along their perimeter to keep the demons away.
