Can we get rid of the term NSFW please?
It is not a useful CW!

What work? Sex work is work but it is not SFW‽
Games probably should be NSFW but aren't
Also, why everything should be categorized in the function of an idealized workplace?

Let's just use, for example, "nudity", "lewd", "sex", "violence" or whatever word fits the content and *is actually informative*

line graph style, comparing straight sex and lesbian sex. whereas the straight sex line is black and goes straight up, ending in "he comes (and maybe she does too)", while the lesbian one is rainbow colored, goes all over the place, and has points like "are we having sex right now?", "let's order pizza", and similar.

can someone help me find that?

Never expected to see tech drama between cloud storage providers. It looks like Instacart migrated from Snowflake to Databricks and dropped their spending with Snowflake by 71%.

This makes Snowflake look like the expensive choice and unfortunately for everyone involved, Snowflake’s CEO is on Instacart’s board. So chaos ensued.

Employees are arguing on Reddit. Instacart deleted their blog post about using Databricks. Databricks deleted their case study about Instacart.

AI won't steal your job.
A person using AI to fake your skills will.
Then the AI will cause them to make a devastating mistake.
And they won't know how fix it.
That's when you get your job back.
Remember to request a higher salary.

GitHub is "The AI-powered developer platform".

Not the "Build software better, together. Powerful collaboration, code review, and code management for open source and private projects." we signed up for years ago. (github's main page from webarchive).

AI is a very processing-heavy way to copy and paste badly.

I do not understand why I have to repeat this one of all things:

If you write about the death of someone you MUST use content warnings.

If your "solutions" offered to disabled trans people - a demographic that, historically, does not have much in the way of financial stability let alone disposable income - deciding to protect themselves online in ways you find uncomfortable boils down to "spend money," you didn't understand the fucking problem in the first goddamn place.

it's really ironic that since ms acquired sysinternals they put a bunch of their old documentation on their website

because now you have a microsoft documentation website with a sentence that starts "Microsoft doesn't document it, but"

@joepie91 I've heard that the victims and survivors of true cults and pyramid schemes generally don't appreciate those kind of jokes either

Being "intellectually gifted" kinda really sucks emotionally. Like you succeed easily in school and academia but when you *do* struggle you end up not knowing how to cope and everyone around you offers no support, just disappointment. Because "you're so smart! You can do this if you *just* work harder!". That kind of stuff ruins your self esteem. It doesn't matter how strong you are, without the right tools you won't fix a broken car. It's much the same with intellectual tasks.
And on top of that even when you do succeed you end up feeling like you don't deserve it, like you didn't work hard enough for it. Because others put in more effort than you and still failed. It's really fucked up and I should probably be going to therapy lol
