    Yet again I have set the Keurig to brew coffee without placing a mug under the spout. AGAIN.

    No need to comb, probably 20% of jobs are like this, in IT anyway.

    I'm now in the habit of skipping to the end of job posts to see what the catch is. Really, they put it at the end like they're hiding it when it's important info that should be somewhere near the top.

    It's a real nightmare out here. I feel like there are about a million YouTube videos about people trying to find jobs, and the ones I've seen are all accurate compared to my experience.

    I’ve actually found WFH to be more motivating because it’s a hell of a great benefit that I want to keep, so I make sure I’m doing something to productive to keep it. Not to mention the money and sanity I’ve saved not doing all that driving.

    I’m really sick of how Trump and his people are criticizing work from home as some form of laziness. I’ve worked from home since 2009 and I’ve done 10x more than any Fed employee, I guarantee it. Commuting to a fluorescent-lit cubicle hell every day does not mean you’re working and everyone knows it. Very tiresome.

    I understand and I agree with you, but they're doing it. Having cash in the bank doesn't increase the share price, and that's what drives Tim Cook.

    It's really a demo of what their fledgling AI can do, to keep the Wall Street wolves at bay for a bit while they furiously develop something better. Beyond these insignificant AI tricks, they have no real new features for anything in their product line because they've been steadily adding those features over the past 25 years and there's nothing but minor bits and pieces to add now and again. The entire industry has this problem.

    They've got nothing else. All of their product lines are mature. The Vision Pro headset is a solution looking for a problem. Investors demand green line go up, and Apple, and most of the industry, are leaning into AI because they don't know what else to do. Apple's AI product is just as half-baked as anyone else, if not more so. Everyone is stagnating.

    This happens with cigars too. I always see people who say they taste chocolate or coffee or pepper. I've never tasted any of that. Different cigars taste different, but they all taste like cigars.

    A month ago we were saying Luigi was an op and it was ridiculous to think he had engraved words on bullet casings. It seems like that’s all been either forgotten or accepted.

    Yes, I'm all too aware of that. Also, in addition to the other reasons why my resume is ignored that we all know, I'm certain they see the length of my career and understand that I'm not susceptible to their bullshit games, that I want paid for my skills, and that I probably have a low bullshit tolerance threshold. First and foremost, they want cheap and manipulable, and I'm not it.

    I disagree with almost all of this. I don't poast about the subject much because I got sick of being accused of being a blackpiller, but I think we're in for a long, slow slide into third-worldism. Things will slowly get worse and everyone will adapt to it because the alternative is much worse. As someone famously wrote, men will suffer evils as long as they are sufferable. There won't be a collapse or a flashpoint.

    The lights will stay on, the water will continue to run, things will be kept just good enough, and the people who remember something better will slowly die off and take the world they knew with them. (I'm near the tail end of that demographic and I'm already 50.) Young people won't know of such a time and third world hell will just be normal to them. And you have to consider some large contingent of Whites who want this multicultural, multiracial hell. Want it. Suppressing or removing them will take a multi-decade effort nobody has the stomach for.

    I truly believe we're on the cusp of a new dark age.

    I'm down for a White male-lead IT services company, all-in. I previously was one of the owners of an IT services company for a decade, and our biggest problem wasn't attracting technical talent, especially White males. Getting tech things done and done right was never an issue. The biggest hurdle we faced was finding sales talent. In 10 years we never had anyone who could effectively sell our services.

    IT service companies can't survive on a customer base of small to medium businesses. Those customers expect the world for $7.95 a month and are slow to pay, and sometimes don't pay at all. They're break-even at best. Also, you're always being compared to bigger service companies that can usually do more with less because they can do volume business with small to medium businesses, because they have large contracts to back that up.

    And that was our core issue, we struggled because we didn't have the connections and clout to land a competent sales guy who had the connections and clout to land us large contracts. This meant we were shifting focus and priorities as needed to keep things afloat, which in turn created confusion among customers and even employees about what exactly we did.

    In the middle of last year my business partners decided once again they wanted to shift focus to something I wasn't interested in, so I sold my share. Exactly one month later I landed a job doing Linux server stuff making 2.5x my previous self-employed salary.

    So, if you want to start an IT services business, you have to base it around someone's sales capabilities. Until you have that, you don't really have a business.

    Truly amazing that someone like Musk complains about the lack of motivated talent, and yet is at the top, the public face of, a tech industry where companies refuse to invest in developing that talent.

    In 30 years in tech, I've had one single employer send me to one single training course because I named it as a condition of my employment and subsequently badgered them for a year until they relented.

    I've never had any employer offer any type of training, education, certification, professional development, or anything of the sort. I've had most employers pigeonhole me into a specific job for years at a stretch and never offer advancement (and rarely even a cost-of-living raise) or an opportunity to gain experience through promotion or even a lateral move.

    All of my certifications and training have come at my time and expense. All of my increased earnings have come from grinding through the interview and hiring process yet another time. I know I don't come off well on social media, but please believe me, in person I'm an intelligent, responsible, qualified adult man with three decades' experience and literally 10 pages of accomplishments to my resume, and it gets sent to the same HR black hole as anyone else.

    As I get older, over 50, I dread what may become of my career in tech. Things are going well for me now, but can easily turn bad. To read anyone telling me that Americans lack motivation and talent is infuriating as I, and others, desperately attempt to get the attention of companies hiring for jobs we're very clearly qualified for and are purposely ignored, told we don't exist, and need to be replaced with street shitters.

    I know what the billionaires' goals are, I understand the situation. I also know that the longer it continues, the less any man is invested in the American economic zone. What I don't know is how this ends.

    Safari is the browser engine on Macs, iPhones, and iPads. It's about 1/3 of marketshare in the US, second after Google Chrome. It's completely standards compliant and macOS is the most popular and successful desktop Unix variant ever. There's no reason it shouldn't be properly supported.

    The problem only occurs when I use NiceCrew.digial in Safari browser over VPN. I'm fairly sure it's a problem with the Soapbox software (Alex Gleason himself has told me it's a clusterfuck), not the hosting. I can't prove anything because I can only see things from the client end. The problem doesn't occur when I access the site directly or through iCloud relay. I'm not sure what there is between Soapbox and the VPN that causes this, and I'll never have insight to that. All I know is, when I ask any one link in the chain about the problem, the response is, "not me", when I get a response at all.

    The web developer will tell me there's nothing wrong with their website.

    The VPN developer will tell me there's nothing wrong with their VPN.

    The browser developer, if they ever answer me, will tell me there's nothing wrong with their browser.

    And yet I'll live with this indefinitely until someone coincidentally makes some change that fixes it.

    Fuck developers. I hope you all burn in hell.

    He's not a great mind, he's not a great politician, he's not a great statesman, he's not a great administrator, he's not a great judge of character, but he's not them.
