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/

You've played Fedi for 1460 hours
Would you recommend this game to other players?

@joepie91 not sure if there are more sim cards or emv payment cards, both could certainly have javacard.

instead of estimating damages of natural disasters in millions of dollars, estimating damages in how many fewer devices are now running java
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,
2.7 billion years ago, life came to exist on this planet. 3 billion devices run Java. Coincidence?
Probably, honestly

Time to reshare I think. “I don’t want my portraits to hang in your offices, because the president is not an icon or an idol. Hang pictures of your children there and look them in the eyes before every decision” – Volodymyr Zelensky

Remember when it comes to cops Shut the Fuck Up.
Yes, you may still get arrested but cops can basically arrest anyone for any reason, shutting the fuck protects yourself so when the cop has to actually prove something you haven't hurt yourself.
Also don't consent to a search.

US politics, war in Ukraine
so what would happen if a leader of another country punched the president of the United States in the face? is the Secret Service trained to respond with deadly force in this scenario? would there be a shootout between the two security details?

US Politics
If you're feeling helpless right now watching the country collapse around us, this video by @adamconover might bring you some hope.
It's time for some of us to leave our comfort zones and get loud.
Here's a quote from it that I absolutely loved:
"Average people have been getting squashed by bullies like Trump and Musk since the founding of this country and the only way we ever stopped them was by kicking their asses. But we didn't do that by keeping small, and staying safe, and playing Stardew Valley while we waited for our next chance to vote in four years, we did it by fucking shit up."
