Good thing we spent several decades perfecting the distribution of things that are illegal to download then

> A typical tech job requires far more than 40 hour work weeks.

Um. What? That can't be typical. It's not even legal.

I have never worked significantly over 40 hours.

It is very legal in the US to work more than 40 hours of salary work, and no you don’t need to be paid overtime or compensated in any extra way. That’s the nature of salary jobs; 40 hours is the minimum, most people don’t work the minimum because working the minimum doesn’t bode well for your career or job security.

If working the minimum gets you fired you ought to have legal recourse. I know many parts of USA maybe don't allow this. But it also means the job was shitty so probably ideal to move on.

Wasn't the complete worldwide failure to anything about COVID exactly a high speed analogue io how we've also failed to do anything about climate change?

Sort of, but there is a crucial difference: the lockdowns affected the treats. There is nothing about a rapid rollout of renewable energy in the US and elsewhere that would threaten the supply of McNuggets, the main thing people would see is their energy bills go down as they get plentiful daytime solar and can charge house batteries on cheaper night rates.

A big one. We just need to look at the noaa.gov CO2 chart.

This is good, but also total emissions still expected to increase? Yeesh

More work needed to fix that, but we are on the right track. You can't get to lower total emissions without all the steps in between. First lower the rate of increase compared to the previous year (done), then decrease the rate compared to the previous year, (done for this year anyway, time will tell), then decrease the rate even more every year, until finally we get to net negative (a very hard place to get - not impossible, the earth is naturally slightly net negative)

We're on the very, very wrong track, but it could have been even worse.

Most games and shows for kids have been slop since long before AI.

TBF corps can use and profit from GPL and AGPL stuff just fine, even if they comply with the license (though they usually just don't bother)

You've discovered some sentient non humans have you?

You don't have to be sentient to post on the internet.

Wow, harvest still exists?

My first tech job ever pretended we were supposed to track our hours in harvest. Which of course no one did. So long ago.

This makes no sense. DS4.1 flash is the cheapest model basically everywhere

I've never had a problem not having dmarc. DMARC doesn't really mean anything. The security comes from DKIM (or SPF, but that's garbage)
