techbros be like “we should do things just based on their technical merits” but I don’t see any of them changing their legal names to UUIDs or setting their watches to UTC

and the other half is “if a trained thief were to sneak into your house and replace your hard drive with an identical copy, an attacker with an exact predictive model of that drive could interrogate the SSD wear leveling algorithm and reduce the search space for your bitlocker password by up to 12 bits _without you even noticing_”

Kate Temkin ????❤️ (ktemkin@chaos.social)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Sep-2023 07:10:14 JST Kate Temkin ????❤️ the really hard part about bad medical staff acting like I'm wasting their time -- or worse, when they misrepresent what happened in their notes -- is that, on some level, I explicitly believe and internalize it
it's really hard for me not to just stop trying to get care and just See What Happens

- schedule a technical interview with Amazon
- don’t show up
- text the hiring manager every fifteen minutes, showing your new location and “one stop away” -

Kate Temkin ????❤️ (ktemkin@chaos.social)'s status on Tuesday, 23-Aug-2022 19:19:04 JST Kate Temkin ????❤️ increasingly thinking the idea of “burnout” exists to shift blame from employers to workers
“burnout” sounds like “she didn’t pace herself correctly, worked too hard, and burned out”, rather than “years of being mistreated by employers made it physically hurt to get things done”

Kate Temkin ????❤️ (ktemkin@chaos.social)'s status on Tuesday, 23-Aug-2022 19:19:02 JST Kate Temkin ????❤️ this is so transparent, too
as much as $companies might say things like “take care of yourself, take PTO, and avoid burnout”; they’ll also immediately turn around & call any effort less than working oneself to death “quiet quitting”, and make it clear they expect more than that
