This is literally a product of their minority union

At least in my faang office, there’s essentially zero ports to plug into. If you have a desktop, there’s a port, but that’s the exception. I’ve never seen anyone plug a laptop in.

They mostly don’t even give out desktops to devs these days, everything is in the cloud.

It’s mostly software engineers, and distributed across almost every team.

But… We are all fish

Left libertarianism was first… But nowadays it only exists to “well actually” people with, at least in the US.

其實這個美國人還會漢語

You good, man? You good?

Cigarette butts, the thing op is complaining about, are not mostly ash. They’re mostly plastic. Not cool to litter.

Constant capitalist and corporatist propaganda: I sleep

A single anticapitalist idea: real shit?

This is true today but for a while in the 20th century 伊 was used for “she”

Ok but in writing you do, at least if you’re my college professors and want to make your students sad

他 third person singular, neutral 她 she 它 it (non-human, especially inanimate) 牠 it (animal) 祂 third person singular (divine)

Came here to post this. Sure seems like states are the problem here…

If we assume portals obey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_invariance, then there’s no difference between “the tram|portal is moving and the people are stationary” and “the tram|portal is stationary and the people are moving.” The outcome should be the same.

“well actually” room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! … But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature superconductivity in hydrides.pdf

Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.

I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.

There’s a lot of space in the left that isn’t stalinism. You can be a communist and have a deep critique of how 20th century communism worked, a learning from it and not wanting to repeat the bad parts.

In leftist circles in the US, weird Stalin and Lenin fans are loud, but ultimately not that common.

Socialism is not inherently authoritarian. Yes, 20th century socialism following Lenin’s example was. But it’s not inherent.

Socialism is about workers controlling economic production - at it’s core. That’s a democratic, anti-authoritarian idea.

Libertarian socialist like me are extremely salty at the leninists and others like them for giving the rest of us a bad name.

There’s also nothing stopping Facebook or anybody else from just making their own clone of the software without copyright issues. If it talks the protocol the same way it will work.
