"legitimately"

rcakebread··on Show HN: Rotary Phone Dial Linux Kernel Driver

rcakebread··on Anything threatening to be a subculture is commodified before it can walk (2014)
"Commodify Your Dissent" by The Dead Milkmen

Who will sponsor my green revolution?

Will you buy the rights to my class war?

Purchase the t-shirts and the audio version of the book

They took your anger and polished up

Then they sold it back to you

They took your anger and repackaged it

And there's nothing you can do

Put your name on my new army's designer uniforms

Rebellion and subversion will make your Rom-Com cool

You'll capture that "indie" feel that the kids are crazy for

They took your frustrations and dressed them up

Before a focus group

They painted your frustrations in earth tones colors

And there's nothing you can do

Country music used to be about music and not about the county

There once was a time when rap was dangerous

Now flag-waving idiots and millionaire illiterates dance across the screen

Johnny Cash died for you

This sense of outrage can be yours if the price is right

Galleries and Poetry readings Jingles and cartoons

This is the river in which we've learned to swim

Sub-culture vultures circle above

The great unread white and blue

And there's nothing you can do

Country music used to be about music and not about the county

There once was a time when rap was dangerous

Now flag-waving idiots and millionaire illiterates dance across the screen

Jam Master Jay died for you

C'mon Bourgeoisie and get behind me

Captains of industry I'm waiting for your calls

Operators are standing by so don't delay

Your parents are reading hipster lit

And they try to dress like you

They took your anger and repackaged it

And there's nothing you can do

Punks, Goths, and Rivetheads disappeared into the mall

Just like the yippies, and the beatniks, and freaks

This is the river in which we've learned to swim

And this is the river in which we will all drown

rcakebread··on HTML Is a Programming Language. Fight Me

rcakebread··on We found North Korean engineers in our application pile
"Cinder is part of a growing list of US-based tech companies that encounter engineering applicants who are actually suspected North Korean nationals. "

rcakebread··on In Defense of Myers Briggs (2020)
I read the book "What's Your Type?: The Story of the Myers-Briggs, and How Personality Testing Took Over the World" and learned it was a bit like Scientology a few decades ago.

Very secretive, offered a free personality test to lure you into lots of paid courses. They were selling courses to an astonishing percentage of large corporations.

rcakebread··on Show HN: A Twilio-powered interactive talk radio platform
I'm working on an open source project similar to this. It uses Twilio as an option for calling in, but DJs/hosts can use a mic or connect a mixer/turntable via USB audio interface and stream directly without using Twilio. Hoping to make the first release next week.

There's a Raspberry Pi client for remote broadcasts.

Here's a demo where you can see chat controlled DJ room where you can cue up songs in the station's library: https://radiogbv.com/

Which is a website and has nothing to do with software you install on a workstation.

rcakebread··on How X’s Exene Cervenka found solace in her mistakes
Exene is a 9/11, Boston bombing and Sandyhook denier. But she's found solace in her other mistakes. Saw X a few years ago and she was blathering on about all kinds of conspiracy theories.
rcakebread··on Im Not a Programmer
She lists CSS on the first line of her CV. I imagine her whiney, troll of a post will really help in her next job search.
