It's crazy how fast egomaniac billionaires will try to dismantle the systems that serve them the second they don't get their way. The entire state of Delaware basically exists as a haven for corporations, but suddenly it's an evil anti-capitalist conspiracy because it didn't let famed narcist manbaby, Elon Musk, use a public corporation as his personal bank account...

I honestly don’t get the point of half of these nomad visas. If someone has a remote job, it’s of absolutely no consequence whether they work while visiting a country. They’re basically taking money from another country and injecting it into the local economy. If anything you should want people to be working on tourist visa, not banning it only to make them apply for some goofy ass visa just to have to leave after 6 months anyway.

Japan coming out with a “digital nomad visa” that’s limited to 6 months and only available to people from countries who get 3 month visa free travel anyway

I saw a TikTok recommending putting olive oil in cappuccino. I love olive oil and I love cappuccino, so I was super excited to try it. Can't get over how well it did not work. Somehow combining two things I like turned into undrinkable coffee.

I've been working on a user mode EDR bypass that unloads the EDR DLL and spent the day confused debugging because for some reason my bypass works, but attaching the debugger to see if it worked causes the EDR DLL to get re-loaded, so it looked like it wasn't working the whole time

I'm actually finding the US driving theory test to be much harder than the UK one, because the UK one is entirely about driving whereas the US one has lots of questions about what fines and you have to remember the exact dollar amount.

All the fines like like sub $200, so I'm struggling to remember them because my brain just lumps them all into the category of "basically free subscription service to drive however you want".

I thought it’d be funny to take a $100 Costco beginner surfboard out in an 8ft shorebreak. It was indeed extremely funny.

I asked ChatGPT to generate C code to covert a string to base64. Who can spot the vulnerability?

(Posted this on LinkedIn but still nobody has found it yet).

That clip of Biden supporters drownings out protestors calling for a Gaza ceasefire by chanting "4 more years" is some pretty dystopian shit. Between that and Pelosi claiming everyone is a Russian plant, it feel like the options for 2024 are literally just gonna be MAGA or MAGA lite.

It's extremely funny to see US senators parroting the conspiracy that the Chinese version of TikTok only promotes positive & educational content whereas the US version is addictive and harmful.

The conspiracy comes from the fact that the Chinese version of TikTok has a mandatory "kids mode" enforced for anyone under 14, which imposes time limits and content restrictions, as a result of strong regulatory pressure from the Chinese government.

Like twice a year US congress makes the TikTok CEO fly in from Singapore so they can yell at him and ask why the Chinese version of TikTok (Which he has nothing to do with) is regulated, whereas the US version is not, as if congress isn't entirely responsible for making said regulations, but were instead too busy eating lead paint and being xenophobic.

I hate that I'm now a frequent user of ChatGPT. It's not that it's good, it's just that Google has become so unbelievably useless that it's near impossible to get usable results. It's like they've reverted to pure keyword based search. I just get results that (sometimes) contain my search terms, but not relevant to the context of my search.

Why is it so hard to find friends in the US who can afford to do fun things during the weekday and actually want to? Everyone either has a full time job, or has the financial freedom to do whatever they want and then 'whatever they want' just constitutes spending every waking hour trying to make even more money.

Like, I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be on my deathbed telling my family that my greatest regret in life is not having more money to die with...

I actually still can't get over how amazing LA is. The average winter temperature here is close to the average summer temperature where I'm from. It's January and I'm spending most days at the beach surfing the big winter swells, whereas in England I'd have had to decide if it's worth struggling to put on a 3ft thick wetsuit to survive the 8c/45f sea temperature.

I’m a little ashamed that 90% of my music playlist comes from TikTok memes. I’ve listened to this one so much that YouTube has started giving me ads in Chinese 😆

Here's to hoping my computer skills get me drafted into the cyber army, or my lack of any other skills get me disqualified for the regular one. I wasn't build for fighting, I need wifi and pizza delivery

I just got the most dystopian YouTube ad. It's made using an AI to sound like Donald Trump warning everyone that America is about to be attacked and the food supply will be destroyed. The link just goes to some weird website selling meal rations 🥴​

After a year off Twitter, I'm surprised that I don't have even a single regret about leaving. The more I think about it, the more I realize it wasn't the takeover that did it. Sure, there was a massive and harmful political shift, but there's just always been something about the platform that attracts extremely unhealed people regardless of political leaning.

You can make a post like "I just got a coffee and the milk was sour" then someone on the right will be like "Biden's border crisis is the reason we can't get good milk anymore" and then someone on the left will be like "do you think starving children in Africa would complain about sour milk?". Eventually, you just realize the platform is designed for people who's only form of therapy is logging on to the internet and being annoying as fuck.

We haven't done any layoffs, we just happened to relocate our office to the worst state in the US, resulting in many of our employees leaving.

Am I the only one who feels like still using employment rate as a metric for a healthy economy is basically just gaslighting at this point?

Employment used to mean you had a good chance of affording a home, maybe two kids, and potentially even on just a single income. Now you can have a full time job and still need food stamps or a side job just to pay bills.

Then of course, because salaries are so low relative to the cost of living, it makes employment numbers look even better because people who wouldn't have been forced to work now are. You have households where both parents have full time jobs, people with disabilities forced to work because they can't cover bills, students dropping out of college because it's now unaffordable.

Then some goober economist comes on TV and goes "well, unemployment is at record lows so obviously everything is fine"

I really like the Amazon Prime Video feature where it blocks 1/4 of the screen with an unclosable ‘watch next episode’ popup that opens 15 minutes before the current episode has finished.

Real freedom is saving 4% on my taxes by living in in a country with no healthcare, child support, or functional education system, then paying like 50% of my post-tax income if I happen to want any of those things

Europeans simply cannot comprehend this level of freedom
