I sometimes read about the jokes that people living in the Soviet Union in the 80's used to make about their country and how everything was falling apart and nothing worked anymore.
In other news I have yet another 4.0 at Berklee this semester so the wins still outweigh the losses
I’m fine and health insurance will be okay but also…. Ugh
Laid off on Friday the 13th is absolutely typical canon in the magical adventure of my life story
Hey all, we are trying to raise a hair under $200 for a free-to-use, publicly-accessible payphone installation in Kensington, Philadelphia to acquire an armored handset and upper-housing lock with hardware for a vintage phone we want to ready for public use.
Any amount helps, and we have new payment methods available via PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App listed on https://philtel.org/donate/
Help us out to put a working phone in this vintage, wooden Bell phone booth!

OK, Fediverse, this is partly why I am here. I know the systems are old but is there nobody employed by the FAA technologically savvy enough to have seen this coming or to have taken some preventative steps before hitting "update"?
Didn’t even try to process. Just gathered the former A&R team and went to our favorite sushi place. Got sake drunk. Going to try to figure it all out soon.
@ErickaSimone I went through a real rough patch earlier this year, looking around at an industry of science, engineering, and mathematics that I once loved… and just feeling empty.
I then went through a process of just getting everything I used online out of the big tech giants and onto community hosted or self hosted services, bought my media from artists directly, and I’ve actually started to look forward to using computers again. Not too much though, as nobody can afford to replace them.
Not preaching, too many people are locked in to suggest they ‘just change to X’, but for my personal usage I’ve bee feeling almost positive about technology.
If you're annoyed at Microsoft, this might help you feel a little better.
Again. Not a Black person, not a trans person, not an immigrant.
People on the news keep repeating:
“AI is the most important technology” over and over
FOR WHOM?! :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping:
Welp.
I have been thinking about how I will tell my manager that, no I will not use AI, even if it’s a target.
Thanks. You helped write my prompt.
So Microsoft fired all of its IT human talent meant to handle these types of situations, replaced them with AI, and now AI can’t fix whatever is wrong. Or caused whatever is wrong.
It really is the end of… being able to enjoy tech.
NEW: Recordings of calls and events reviewed by ProPublica show members of the Georgia State Election Board working with Cleta Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network, which was born out of an effort to overturn the 2020 election.

AI is just a stupid algorithm based on STOLEN data that spews out bullshit in an uncontrollable way polluting the web and people’s minds even more all the while destroying the planet, consuming rivers of water and hoarding electricity meant for people
AI is a BULLSHIT trend that is spoon fed to everyone
As of today, it’s Microsoft 364.
Welp. Thought I was going into to Microsoft chaos but instead…. Got my layoff notice today.
*longsigh*
