I see a lot of folks making the argument that yeah, a lot of layoffs are happening, but it's due to irresponsible hiring. And yeah, it's true that you shouldn't hire a bunch of engineers that aren't doing anything; which usually isn't the case.

I think people don't understand just how unbelievably BAD the tech grift is right now for people in leadership positions. It's not just that they hired a lot of people, it's that they also tasked them with working on the wrong things.

@hbuchel
Big tech and media laid off over 350,000 workers in 2023, not because the companies were losing money on whole.

These layoffs were entirely to please Wall Street billionaires who demand exorbitant profits and massive employee firing.

These mass layoffs directly impact customer service, system support, and the quality of service.

But it makes the billionaires happy.

I just saw a post that referred to ChatGPT as "Mansplaining as a service", and it is so wonderfully correct - instant generation of superficially plausible yet totally fabricated nonsense presented with unflagging confidence regardless of topic without concern, regard or even awareness of the expertise of its audience :D

Did you know that women are more likely to die of heart attacks than men not only because doctors are more dismissive, but women's symptoms often have them thinking they should just ignore them? Most information gives symptoms that men experience. Women may have different symptoms that aren't given as much attention.

merry christmas, the bark receiver now plays audio with alsa directly rather than using cpal. this means I have finer control of latency and buffers, including being able to match the period of the underlying DAC to really eek out minimal latency!

My youngest brother expressed an interest in the terminal earlier today, so I spent a good while teaching him some basics (set back a little by the fact that he's on MacOS and some things aren't behaving how I'm used to).

He's a dog person, so I'm not surprised that the first line to go in his brand new .zshrc is alias dog="cat"
