Funny, no mention of late stage capitalism

I wonder if it has anything to do with Russia

The same thing that happened to Digg

Integration with their other products. And I’m too old to enjoy fiddling with stuff anymore.

I’ve worked on supposed “Agile” teams that operate this way, and worked on an Agile team that actually work ridiculously well. The biggest issue with Agile isn’t the philosophy, it’s when management starts using it to cut costs. This comment is what it turns into. Notice that every single one of these points lower cost. But one of the main assumptions of Agile is that the workers control the work, managers support the workers. The places I’ve been where Agile didn’t work it was because management was unwilling to buy into this basic assumption, then use Agile as a crutch for not giving the team what they needed to be successful.

The one successful team I was on that was Agile, the entire group of around 12 worked directly with the customer, and our manager’s role was to ask “what do you need”. It was hands down the best dev role I was ever in (before I became a teacher).

Ask for an itemized bill.

It’s not a desert. The FOSS apps are there, but you can’t use the App Store to find them.

Prius owner?

Yea, that’s the idea. I don’t care what opinion you have about the legitimacy of trans people in a sub meant for trans people to support each other. Not every sub is meant to be a place for “free debate”. In fact, there are some places where debate is not appropriate or welcome. Like you wouldn’t walk into an AA meeting and try to debate the health benefits of wine.

Especially places that are meant to be safe spaces for marginalized groups, this is really important.

It’s a common way of preventing a lot of harassment in some subs, and it’s done by a bot most of the time. For example back in the the day posting in T_D meant a ban in some of the trans subs I was in. The point was that if you’re posting in T_D, then the chances of you coming into a forum for trans folks to harass them was pretty high. It was easier and safer to just ban those folks outright before they began messing with people.

I’ve been using Apple Music for a couple years now and I’m pretty satisfied with it. I moved because Spotify pays artists atrociously and Apple is at least a little better. There hasn’t been much I haven’t been able to find, since there are a lot of services out there that will handle the release of music to multiple platforms easily.

“Not a good culture fit”

Agreed, but the data they’re citing doesn’t show that. It does show what I commented.

Better headline: the richest 1% of Americans have more combined wealth than the bottom 90% of Americans.

I have regular conversations with normal people all the time. If they use “female” in reference to a human being to my face, I’m calling them on it. It is 100% an incel dog whistle. If they continue, that’s a clear indication that they are not a person I want to regularly be around.

I don’t see this as something that’s going to be usable in the consumer market except for the high end gadget collectors, at least at this price.

However, there is absolutely a market for this on in the business world. I’m thinking specifically things like maintenance jobs. Think about an aircraft mechanic who has to replace a part. This would be able to throw them what the path of least resistance is to replacing it with maximum efficiency and minimum risk to the plane.

When I spend a lot of time around non-queer people (although even some cisgender gay people get in my nerves too) it gets to be really difficult for me. You’re constantly hiding parts of who you are, or getting sideways looks, or other things that tell you that they really don’t “get” you. You feel constantly judged and on the outside. It makes it difficult to not have at least a quick chat with someone who does understand.

As a queer person, I COMPLETELY understand her sentiment here. I don’t agree with it, but I understand it.

I think the big things are getting used to CMD+Space for opening applications and search, and getting used to the fact that you have an actual terminal instead of a command window.
