JFC this political "advisor" on Babylon 5

it's like KKKaroline Leavitt is a bad caricature of her

oh brother there's now an AI use scorecard.

"See you your AI usage ranks amongst your coworkers!"

@motoridersd I'm in hell

@cstanhope This is the part that really irks me more than anything else

I've spent 30 years building up my experience and skills, and now I'm being told that's worthless and I should find a new career

but when it all comes crashing down, I'll be in demand again

@botvolution Yeah, I knew of Jerry Doyle. He passed away early too.

Mira Furlan was just a few years ago too. 😢

@botvolution I did not know that. Wow. 💔

@botvolution no?

I liked Michael O'Hare as Commander Sinclair, but Bruce Boxleitner's Captain Sheridan was better for the show.

get the popcorn, the centralization on the Internet is causing problems

🍿

It's time for me to start looking.

I'm looking for a senior / staff engineer position. My career has been focused on backend - web services, distributed systems and database.

I'd like to find a technical role in a non-tech company.

Remote only, please. I'm in the United States.

Thanks!

Yaccarino resigned?

hahahahahahahahaha

@BrodieOnLinux @neal I'm not sure the snark from Fabio on everyone replying that they are opposed to it gives me warm feelings about Fedora

Oh yeah totes legit. Right.

hahahaha Arc browser is dead

Arc wasn't "too different" - it was "too fucking much AI"

so instead you're gonna double down on AI

Trash. 🗑️ 🚮

Did the tariffs just come for my order of Kiehl’s skincare products?

This is an email from Nordstrom saying “We had to cancel your order due to complications with processing. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

@clarity I am by no means an expert but willing to try and help if you run across any snags

@clarity so far so good - I can't say I'm super far into my journey, but I learned Pascal before C, so I have an affinity for Wirth-like languages.

The community is smaller than Rust, C++, but larger than Nim / Zig (totally anecdotal on that)

I like the type system, but some compiler errors can be inscrutable.

@clarity I almost feel like Ada fits this niche, just over there getting things done quietly.

I've been using it for learning embedded stuff, because of what I've seen in the community you're alluding to
