I have friends who are in scientific research and 100% of them from multiple institutions are affected by Trump. Every single one.
One is out of a job in early Jan. The others over the next 3 months. It’s really bad.

All th AI bots making posts aren’t helping with growth?
If you’re using Dropbox in 2025, you may already have all of your private data shared with somebody.

They “say” they don’t feed it to AI. But Dropbox is bleeding money since 2018 and at some point, will be sold to the highest bidder and from that point, you might as well just store your data on somebody’s random website.
(The Machines will remember that.)
I was at a bar a while back and the talk stuck with me. He was a Israeli who moved to America about twenty years ago and still visits Israel to see his family.
He said, “Americans have to stop seeing America as being #1 at anything.” We talked about Israel and Palestine, we talked about the current White House bs, and afterwards, I finally understood what he was saying, especially with the lens of him being an Israeli.
America is America. It’s a place that exists. The rest of the world has a lot better everything. It’s like living in a small backwater town: You know it’s shit, and it wont magically become something it’s not, especially if the Mayor and the Sheriff are inbred hicks who bang each other’s sister wives. Maybe you grow your nestegg until you can move. Or maybe you carve out a piece of the shit hole. But know that it’s a shit hole.
That’s America. Just keep milking because the lunatics are out of their cage.
Not trying to yuck someone’s yum, but what are the perks for youtube premium?
Come on, just because the CEO endorsed a Trump candidate using the company social media? Then backpedalled after the backlash? And then sent emails about how Proton is totally agnostic about politics and how the CEO is a Asian immigrant so surely they can’t support Trump?
I know a guy who ONLY quotes and references YouTube videos.
Every topic, he answers with “Oh I saw this YouTube video…”
Pasty tech bros continue to push dumb shit forward, ruin companies, out a lot of people out of work then do something else. The definition of fail upwards.
That sounds right. Lemme ask Gemini and DeepSink just in case.
Jeep is rated #16 out of #22 from consumer reports
Guess they really wondered how to go even lower.
I’m sensing a future where cars are becoming like cell phones and laptops, a single unit without replaceable core parts. And they’ll have ads built right in.
Boost birth rates? Sure.
Boost marriage? Uh why? You can do all the things without a piece of paper.
I’m old enough to remember when Gamersgate/me too and companies were getting leaked everywhere, which really made them look bad. Like literally people were using their real Facebook name and going, “Scarlet Johansson is a feminist b**** c*** who should stay in her lane” and their job title right there.
The first thing my job did was give everyone a warning that no personal things on work time and made everyone sign a contract. Then a few months later, our sister company got a bunch of leaks in the news about a sexist environment/sexual abuse. Then a few months after that, a bunch of people were “let go” for breaking that contract.
There was a guy I met at a bar who took out his laptop to show me some cool personal app he was building using a no-code builder. I asked him about his laptop specs, and I shit you not, he said, “I don’t know. It’s whatever my job gives me.”
I tie a toy chicken to a wall that when honked, creates an audible sound.
I tried to figure out Mastodon a few months ago. I’m with you.
Someone asked me to follow them on Mastodon. I couldn’t find them in the app. He sent me the direct link and it opened up a browser on my phone, refusing to recognize the app.
I finally added them directly from a browser by by remembering which server I was in, log into that, visiting their link again, adding them from my logged in server, and then it finally appeared in the app.
And if I’m dealing with thet level of monkeying around, how many others are? How the hell are we supposed to contribute and add content and find social circles when we’re fighting with the UI?
Lemmy seems to have figured out how to not make a sucky experience with multiple servers.
Because their CEO praises Trump?
I know you didn’t say that I just wanted to point that out!
Very cool. Now it just needs to drop in price.
I’m willing to wait for it to hit under $20
