buzzwords··on Illinois just passed a law that puts Linux on the hook for age verification
I love how everyone knows this has nothing to do with kids safety. However no one can or is willing to put up a fight. In the UK where I live its the same. Government does whatever they want and most of us just shrug our shoulders and say "that's messed up" and go on about our day.
buzzwords··on GitHub Actions and Pages are experiencing degraded availability
Dealing with an incident on prod is extra difficult when your pipelines are not running.
buzzwords··on I Learned to Read Again
Oh you don't zone out?
buzzwords··on I Learned to Read Again
Interesting, I struggle to read. I always have. But I genuinely enjoyed it. Few years back I told a colleague that by the time I reach the end of paragraph I forget how it started. He told me sounds like a learning difficulty. So I did a test, thinking I was dyslexic. It turns out I have ADHD with particularly bad short term memory. Anyways my question for everyone here, how do you read with ADHD? How do you over come reading the same passage multiple time?
buzzwords··on Microsoft cuts 4,800 Jobs, Half from Xbox division
So the CEO sends an email tell the work force by the 2027 you might now have a job.

So for a year you have to be in this horrible feeling of losing your job.

I just feel for everyone there, the "leaders" failed to see the troubled waters coming and failed to navigate them properly when it was here they took their bonuses and fat checks whilst workers pay the ultimate price.

buzzwords··on Zuckerberg 'Admits' Meta's Layoffs Were Ineffective
Oh I have not heard about the Amazon issue. Can you please point me to an article or post detailing? Now I'm very curious.
buzzwords··on Zuckerberg 'Admits' Meta's Layoffs Were Ineffective
I don't think in large companies or names like Meta, the top brass actually care what the moral amongst workers are. I was at Accenture when they let a lot of people go. I watched very talented people just leave. Nothing changed. Management couldn't care less. They could always hire anyone they want/need to.
buzzwords··on Meta is adding rate limits and soft paywall to smart glasses
It is true that their AI is not their main product for sale, however they did spend more than 100 billions on AI.
buzzwords··on Meta is adding rate limits and soft paywall to smart glasses
Meta's survival is fascinating to me. They dumped money in VR, their AI is not as good as their competitors and now they are dumping money on this glasses thing. They keep on getting caught doing shady things too.
buzzwords··on Knoppix
Omg great memories.
buzzwords··on Even more batteries included with Emacs
I saw orgmode once and I really loved it. Used Doomed and spacemacs. But dear Lord, does everything break on updates and need fixing. I had to give up as I just don't think it's feasible for me to fix my emacs when I want to get some work done.
buzzwords··on Google broke reCAPTCHA for de-googled Android users
Given the way Google is going I'm not sure if my next phone will be Android. I am fully aware that I am probably in the minority here. For me the trust is entirely gone.
buzzwords··on Your phone is about to stop being yours
I imagine most of us here will look elsewhere when we next upgrade. But are those numbers large enough to form a viable alternative?
buzzwords··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
This might be one of those things were if there is big enough user base, companies will start to take it seriously.
buzzwords··on UpScrolled is currently unavailable for download on the Play Store
Well, this is disappointing.
buzzwords··on TikTok removals up 150% following U.S. joint venture
Can't believe USA is becoming such a third world these days. What happened to tiktok is something that would normally happen in a banana Republic. It's so sad to see.
buzzwords··on Iran goes dark as government cuts itself off from internet
I heard that. I was wondering if that puts people in danger, can't the Iranian government just some how pin point where those frequencies are getting broadcasted from?
buzzwords··on Iran goes dark as government cuts itself off from internet
Are there any Iranians outside of Iran know how to contact people in the country? Anyway to find out if family and friends are ok?
buzzwords··on Mapping Protests in Iran
Have friends with relatives there. I think the fear of what's next is as potent as the frustration of what is happening with the current government.
buzzwords··on Twenty, a modern CRM alternative to Salesforce
I see alternative to Salesforce I up vote
buzzwords··on Podman 5.0 has been released
Yeah, I had similar experience. Specially test containers was the issue for me.
buzzwords··on LinkedIn ad prices up as X plummets
Putting all of the Elon BS aside. Can someone in marketing shine some light on how does X compare to other platforms?
buzzwords··on Hacking ADHD: Strategies for the modern developer
This could not have been better timed for me. I was diagnosed with ADHD yesterday. Apparently for me, the working memory is a major issue. If anyone has any tips here I really appreciate it if you could comment your suggestions here.

buzzwords··on A Philosophy of Software Design
Is this good going to be readable on Kindle? It might be just me, but some software engineering books are hard to read on Kindle due to codes sections could end up with strange format.
buzzwords··on Launch HN: Twenty.com (YC S23) – Open-source CRM
This is fantastic. Unfortunately decision makers usually go with what they already know. No one was ever fired for choosing Salesforce. Hopefully over time more people get exposure to this and increase the adoption.
buzzwords··on Microsoft Freezes Salaries for 2023
I wonder if there will be a mass resignation at Microsoft as a new job might pay more. To me, it sounds like they considered this, and thought majority would not resign and go work for someone else that pays more. Some of those will not be replaced and some might need more pay. Over all this might be cheaper for MS.
buzzwords··on Substack Notes Launched
The fact that I have to be signed in to see people's notes/tweets means that I will not use it any time soon.
buzzwords··on Another Round of GitHub Layoffs
Is there a stat on this please? I'm quite curious about this.
