Lmfao Nadella why are you tempting us with a good time

The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.

I’m absolutely struggling with a sense of professional ennui as well. I feel simultaneously furious and horrified that so many engineers have so wantonly discarded any real ethical considerations from how they conduct themselves and what work they do. And I know why, too: because for the most part, it’s just become a constant rat-race to stay ahead of layoff waves. And the roof cause of that is the profit über alles mentality, exacerbated by fucking finance and business types running everything under the sun these days, and those people answer to VC and PE for the most part.

I don’t have a constructive answer for you. In fact, if you figure one out, let me know.

Yeah, pretty much just homo/transphobic, xenophobic, racist diatribes.

ICE isn’t law enforcement. ICE agents are our very own home-grown, all-American Brownshirts.

Yeah; dude’s really on a roll. Transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, antisemitism (like, actual antisemitism of the “I see where the Nazis were coming from” variety - check the comment history). He seems like a rather reprehensible person, given all the frankly psychotic stuff he’s spouting.

That’s… not a great development. Physical intimacy is generally an important part of most relationships.

If the device (TV) in question is doing sketchy things like sniffing for open wireless networks, I don’t think pointing it manually at a zero-access WAP stub is going to stop it - it’ll probably just dump that connection and look for another one that works.

That’s great but if you have a lower end one (and maybe higher end - not sure what they’re doing recently tbh), it may try to sniff out unsecured or public access SSIDs to connect without your knowledge or consent and transmit metrics and metadata anyways.

Post-purchase monetization (viewing and traffic analysis that your “smart tv” phones home about, and that the company who makes your tv sells to advertisers for analytical and targeting purposes).

Well hey, maybe members of his immediate family can be located and used to “entice” him out of hiding in some fashion. It’s a tactic ICE is using after all, so it’s fair to use it against them.

Macroslop would be better

Microslop, indeed

You do multiline strings with 3 quotes, e.g.:

some_var = “string”
s = f"""
This is a very very very very very very very very very
very very very very very very long {some_var}.
"""

If you don’t want line breaks, you can also do

some_var = “string”
s = (
  f”This is a very very very very very very very very very”
  # note the leading space here
  f” very very very very very very long {some_var}.”
)

But doing it the way shown will render the string something like:

This is a very very very very very very very very very      very very very very very very long {some_var}.

That big block of white space in the middle is not desired.

Side note: lmfao wtf is this Mickey Mouse block-quote-but-not-really bullshit?

13% JS? 😬

You could have just not said anything and left the matter ambiguous, I guess you simply had to announce to everyone that you’re an asshole.
