Wait…just now!? Lol, even in online tech circles where people are completely willing to throw their morals in the trash in exchange for a job, it’s been well known for quite some time now that Palantir is the tippity top of “sell your soul for money” place to work at. This was long before Thiel was in the news and Palantir was selling data and tech to ICE.

Why would it be surprising that you sold your soul to a bunch of fascists, and if you’re already working there, do you have even the slightest shred of morality left to even say a word about it!? Apparently so, but talk about drinking the company Kool-Aid. Damn…

When I have trouble concentrating on what I’m reading be it for work, education, or pleasure, as long as I’m in a space that allows for it, I’ll read aloud. It’s surprising how much more enjoyable/bearable this makes it.

Also, if fiction, you can practice your acting skills during character dialogue, which can be fun/mildly embarrassing.

Oh the absolute worst one. Everyone gets locked in eternal solitary confinement with no lights, no touch, you don’t know if your whole body’s gone numb or there just isn’t even ground beneath your non existent feet. When you try to touch yourself there’s nothing there and yet you are painstakingly aware of somehow existing. Every nanosecond feels like an eternity and you’re constantly being flayed, drowning, burned alive, raped, and jump scared by the worse horrors you never imagined could possibly exist. You never ever pass out or sleep or have any form of respite except to give you context to your indescribable suffering. You hold only so much memory as to know there once was a time so much better than this, and you never figure out that you’re dead/immortal because that might cause you to become psychologically numb to it, so even that you don’t have going for you.

Anyways, yes, the worst one, that one. I choose that one.

It’s good…and bad. I dunno. I asked ChatGPT to update some basic CRUD functions in client side javascript a couple days ago so that it followed a UML schematic more accurately… and it just took my entire code base and wrapped it in a single class…and that was it.

So then I was like no, here’s some sample classes from the UML and here’s some properties and how these methods map to these functions I wrote before, get it?

And then, yeah, it did the thing I wanted…so…cool? I mean, sure, you can call it skill issues with prompting, but man, I’ve been coding with this thing for some time now, and sometimes I’m just like, “I miss stack overflow man”…and shit…I never thought I’d ever say that.

Sure, coding was slower, and maybe you didn’t find the thing you needed to fix your problem, but that friction taught you so much and you made friends (and enemies) as you tried to get an answer to your problem. Now we’re all missing out on that and just making the AI sort of kind of not really better.

Life drawing. I took a class at least twice a week for 6 years back in college and was a TA for a semester. I also just enjoy teaching those with a desire to learn.

EDIT: wrong time amount.

Live out the dystopian future that is Westworld.

Any terminal emulator, but I prefer the suckless terminal. After that I guess zsh and neovim.

catbox.moe for image hosting and litterbox.catbox.moe for temporary image hosting. Throw them a few bucks if you do use their service and can spare it. It’s a cool little site.

No TV at all, and no social media other than federated platforms and YouTube these days, and I only use alternative no algo clients for YouTube. If I hear about something to watch, I sail the high seas, find it, watch it. If I like it, it goes into my backups.

One of these days I might buy an old ass TV and set up a JellyFin server, but I’m fine with my 1080p monitor. I only watch like 2 shows at a time max, and keep up with like 5 or 6 YT channels. No time and no need for others.

Admittedly, my computer is in my bedroom though. I always have had my computer in my bedroom though, so that’s just a personal taste thing.

The Bar in North Muldraugh, Kentucky…oh sorry, you meant IRL and not in Project Zomboid… Let’s see…IRL…zombie apocalypse…got it…The Bar in North Muldraugh, Kentucky.

I don’t disagree with you. It is worth pointing out though that Brendan Eich, the founder of the Brave Browser, is also the cofounder of The Mozilla Foundation, and the creator of the JavaScript Programming language.

So if you really want to boycott the homophobe, boycott Brave, Firefox, all Firefox forks, and JavaScript.

Only if my son is Mr. Frog.

I’d trade in my excellent customer service skill for elite sniper skill. Can’t let Luigi have all the fun.

Agreed. Sadly an endorsement from Meta and/or it’s various subsidiaries is more of a condemnation than any criticism.

Turn off JavaScript by default, and then allow JS through piecemeal using an extension like NoScript. You’d be surprised how much of the internet is still accessible and cleaned up without it, and when you do let JS through, you have a good idea of who’s collecting your data and even a good guess as to specifically why.
