everyone pls come check out my new youtube channel about racing games, I've been having a lot of fun with it and putting a lot of effort into it 🥺
Sergey Brin thinks you should work extra hours to create something he’ll make money from that will give his company a reason to fire you. https://arstechnica.com/google/2025/02/sergey-brin-says-agi-is-within-reach-if-googlers-work-60-hour-weeks/
@joepie91 not sure if there are more sim cards or emv payment cards, both could certainly have javacard.
Can we step past the outrage?
I get how bad things are, but try to keep in mind this entire situation is architected as a campaign of shock & awe.
Almost all of the extreme right leaders in the world are either outright, or closeted, fascists and authoritarians.
Let’s not be shocked by each new outrage. These people are spineless bullies for whom no action is too low. They will never find a bog too deep and nasty for them to plumb its depths.
Let’s focus on how to fight back.
CW-boost: uspol, transphobia, actionable
@joepie91 They must have fired the guy who counted devices a few decades ago, because 3 billion seems very low today
Like seriously what was I thinking owning a vintage unwifi'd ereader and not using it, just using my phone instead
🦝 Let's settle down and have a nice read of a long book! Gee, I sure hope I don't get distracted from this book, for example by a distraction machine, much like the one that I'm holding in my hand right now, and staring at,
That's only partly a shitpost by the way, yes, your SIM card probably has a JVM or some other kind of Java environment
I gotta do like a Big Thread about this sometime on my blog that I don't have, but for now I've gotta say, Actually Making The Effort to use the e-reader rather than my phone for reading books has paid me dividends in Chill
Oh dang! So many good memories circa 2009.
Add it to the graveyard of stuff Microsoft destroyed. :P
I mean, Google has a graveyard of things they removed/discontinued, and things that never caught on.
But only Microsnot could spend billions to buy something that was thriving and then just smear it into the asphalt like that.
@joepie91 at a rate of around 1 device running java per year,
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
