No worries. It would be best to just repost that one in the politicalmemes community instead.

That’s how I’ve always interpreted it too.

Here’s one article about it.

I don’t remember where I saw this the first time, but it did mention that this had become a thing in a few American cities too (this story was from Fredericton, Canada)

I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).

I’ve never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family’s) future.

It’s not something that’s unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.

Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don’t stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).

They might be using an app that doesn’t show display names. I can see it when on my PC, but this is how it looks in the Voyager app, for example:

You actually did it! What a legend.

It sounds like the robots still have a lot to learn.

Please be warned, that part of the text was 100% AI. I’ve never baked cupcakes…

That’s good advice. You’ve got my vote.

Do you know how many more murals they’d have to paint?

Can’t let that happen again.

Sloppy job on mobile, but here:

Just keep adding master’s degrees until you get an offer, I guess.

“just do it” is probably the best advice, honestly. I remember starting a video about GIMP sometime last year, but I turned it off after I realized that I wasn’t retaining most of it. I’m very much a “start and look it up as I hit snags” type of learner, which seems like what you’re describing too.

Very cool! I’d love to get good at gimp, solely for memes. It’s a bit overwhelming.

I bought Sim City for PC at a used bookstore, and it didn’t come with the reference page for a code it would ask you for after playing a certain amount of time.

Without this code, the game would turn on all hazards (tornados, fires, flooding, Godzilla, etc) and make itself unplayable.

This must have been a common thing, because you’re the 2nd person in the comments to mention this!

It’s funny now to think that if you couldn’t figure out a game pre-internet, you just didn’t get to play it. I know that happened to me plenty.
