If there's one thing that's more and more clear to me over the course of my career is how much of developer culture is dedicated to making ourselves complicit in our own exploitation. Witness the absolute mindless doublespeak that passes for engagement on LinkedIn.

My experience as a union organiser: there are only two classes, the labor class and the capitalist class. The blue-collar/white-collar distinction is a created one to sow division between workers.

If you trade labor for wages, you are working class. Whether that is coding or factory line assembly. And management doesn't view you as differently as they want you to view yourself.

"79% of Japan survey respondents want to join year-end parties after COVID downgrade" reports Mainichi.

I never wanted to join year-end parties BEFORE COVID existed. I hate the things.

A modest proposal for your consideration.

All countries should adopt the Danish outlet as the true international standard.

My evidence is strong:

Happy electrical outlet from Denmark.

It's really sad that music has been dead for decades because of all that home taping we did. I really miss music. We should have listened to the recording industry. We'd still have music today if we did.

Re-watching Star Trek: Enterprise given the references to it in Strange New Worlds and it is honestly better than I remember.

One thing I really like is how arrogant and duplicitous the Vulcans are portrayed. Between TOS and VOY, Vulcans are largely portrayed positively, their claimed enlightenment taken at their word.

Not so in Enterprise. It also explains some of the attitude that Spock faces in TOS, particularly from McCoy.

I genuinely recommend Crime Pays, But Botany Doesn't.

There's just something incredibly soothing about his overt working class accent and lexicon, fundamentally challenging the nature of academic and scientific community tropes.

Toad the Wet Sprocket is a weird band name, but I’m glad they changed it from Toad the Moist Sprocket

@FlockOfCats

Ha.

Toad The Uncomfortably Damp Sprocket.

Toad is actually one of my favorite bands, Fear is probably my favorite album, and All I Want is in the running for my favorite song.

Ah, yeah, @ChrisJValdez and I were yukking it up over in Nacogdoches at Stephen F. Austin in 02.

I joke I visited a friend at UT for Spring Break in 2003 and just never left. Slightly overstated, but basically true. I just went there to hang out with him, but ended up realising I should have gone there in the first place. I'm just lucky to have found a last-minute back door in, on the merits I shouldn't have been able to even do that much--competition being what it was.

So... 90% of PR holders DO pay their taxes and social insurance?

I bet 90% of Japanese citizens don't. I bet it's a lower percentage.

Almost like if you want PR in Japan, you're probably pretty reliable.

Japan has always been really, really, REALLY good about bringing stuff from the periphery into the centre and then claiming "ACKSHUALLY, it's ours!" All the way up to KFC and cake for Christmas.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@jamesrg Oh, btw, the pure centre and the impure periphery?

That shit isn't even Japanese. It's Neoconfucianism and was stolen from the Chinese.

Literally, Neo-Confucianist scholars (this would be the predecessors to where my masters studies started, so think 1600s and 1700s) basically said "Naw, China isn't the middle kingdom. Japan was the real middle kingdom the whole time!"

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@FlockOfCats @jamesrg

Stolen from the British, via the Imperial Navy from its training exercises with the Royal Navy in the time around the Russo-Japanese war, who themselves stole it from India.

A great example.
