Also aggressive expansionism, destruction of Ukrainian autonomy, and generally being an all around asshole. 🌚

Hey, this is just returning to origins of democracy. Ancient Athenian magistrates served 1 year long terms, and Roman consuls also had 1 year long terms.

According to its compilers, their purpose is to “confirm or refute” whether the movement is “large-scale,” to determine whether it is engaged in the “transformation” and “destruction of fundamental Russian spiritual and moral values, particularly traditional family values.”

Meanwhile, traditional family values in Russia:

1. Snokhachestvo
2. Notes on Muscovite Affairs

So, what I’d say here - if one’s a fascist larping as ancient roman - excluding gay sex makes one a poser.

I’ve worked at different places that used Teams, and that thing with having to re- login regularly is certainly fault of whoever administers Teams within your organization.

I can sometimes hear Teams notification sound from neighbour’s apartment, triggers me to check my phone almost every time.

May also be someone who never worked at all. 🌚 Even if you’re not dealing with customers directly - there may be chain of command above you with all kinds of stupid ideas.

Yeah… but as the example of Kingdom of Georgia had shown - when they finally get to you in your mountain fortress - things are going to get really ugly really fast.

You’re putting too much faith in an intelligence agency with most embarrassing history (and I must specify that whole of it is embarrassing) under most embarrassing (up to date) management of United States.

Funny how that was really how much of that was actually portrayed at the time.

Basically Machiavellian villains - sending someone to exploit the frontiers of Africa or “New World”, someone you know will not be doing things ethically, then convicting them for doing your own bidding. Whilst at the diplomatic table everyone maintains a facade of “we’re bringing jobs and higher quality of life for the natives, and teaching them the ways of God” while talking about Belgian Congo.

Wait, so he’s been at it for years now?

I’ve had his posts in my feed somewhat recently and I was kind of in awe of dude’s dedication to do full time posting on topic of Linux users having no life, but had no idea he’s been doing it for so long now. 🌚

I think there will be some inventions in regard of “take home projects” like certification of said tasks, secure repositories - things that let you easily check if whatever you just got is legit, or maybe in-browser environments for doing tasks, where it’s all handled on employers servers. Just takes someone to formulate an idea that could be sold and rest is details.

And as of resumes, phone interviews and in-person interviews - kinda happened already, at least speaking from my engineer’s perspective. Today just hiring someone without in-person interview is a bit foolish due to how easy it is to just open ChatGPT tab or whatever on another screen. And potential engineers then are invited to an in-person interview and fail it miserably after giving somewhat competent answers in online call.

What’s funny is that Reddit has been heavily infested by bots and trolls even before widespread LLM usage for chatbots. And it became even more evident after certain subs became dead overnight after Reddit got banned in Russia.

And now it has come to just a cycle of AI data regurgitation and eating it back up. 🌚

Damn, I thought LinkedIn itself got hacked, but that’s just “recruiter” trying to get people to install malicious npm modules. 🥱

Good heads up tho, I periodically get folks trying some bullshit with me in there like “let’s talk on WhatsApp”.

Waffles, I’ll be sick after them but I have zero restraint and it’s a problem of future me. 🗿

Europeans: out of office until October. 🚬🍺

Jokes aside tho, it’s mandatory at my job to take a vacation for at least two weeks at least once a year, and managers can get in trouble if someone doesn’t take a vacation in a long time.

If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).

And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.

And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).

That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚

Another European europeansplaining here.

There was that thing with memes that if corporate social media people posted some meme - that would be akin to that specific meme’s death certificate. Like, people had fun with something, and now there’s corporations trying to buddy up, and it’s no fun anymore.

So… kinda the same thing with celebrity endorsements. Immediately makes things feel 10x less genuine.

When they also say “We’re one big family here!”. They don’t say it’s a dysfunctional one. 🌚

You can safely assume them all to be pedos since they’re in service of a pedo that is Russian tzar. So yeah, co-conspirators at best.
