@nixCraft the .com bust led to effectively no dev hiring between 2000 and 2006... we're in for a loooooong wait for dev jobs to return. I also don't see a 2006-style recovery ever happening because I don't buy the layoffs are actually AI, the AI angle is spin. They are offshoring + capacity reduction. The overlords, on principle, don't want to hire US citizens to code, and that's not going to change. Why hire a lazy American when you can hold an ICE gulag over an H1-B worker if you need on site.

@ShredderLivesOn@mastodon.scot agree or disagree with Count Binface, at least you know where he stands!

@neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org this never would have happened in the Berenstein Bears timeline.

@eestileib @artemis the neolibs spent 50 years yelling "WE ARE NOT ALL ON THE SAME TEAM!!!" while demonstrating that with their every action other than occasional kneeling in a kente cloth or waving a pride flag as a little key jangle. The craziest thing is it took multiple generations for people to get the message.

@forthy42@mastodon.net2o.de @waffle_iron@nyan.lol @nixCraft@mastodon.social the problem is unlike 2010, there is no more legitimate economic market competition, a handful of oligarchs run cartels. As a result there will be no "oh no, it broke, we need to hire expensive contractors!" cycle like last time. Things will just run as well as can be managed via expensive AI and cheap Indian contractor and if the consumer doesn't like it, there are only 3 options and they all have the same practices.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social arguably consumer sentiment no longer matters because the entire economy is 7 AI bros circularly passing around dollars, and they could never actually spend the kind of money they make by passing money around in a circle to each other.

@angiebaby @ProPublica to be fair, so is the Schumer DNC. Genocide Joe started the genocides.

@benroyce @ki @randahl

@DeliaChristina@sfba.social bright side, this is clearly untrue. The DNC would NEVER try to beat the GOP!

@yogthos@social.marxist.network they probably should have used their money to back anti-monopoly policy before the tech oligarchs drank their milkshake.

@maxleibman@beige.party given the research I've seen, tobacco almost certainly provides a greater longterm productivity boost than AI...

@VeroniqueB99 to be fair, he warned that people would be "tired of winning" and this was post-Sheen. The hashtag was always implied, take him seriously not literally, or literally not seriously or whatever.

@yogthos@social.marxist.network I'm more concerned about the cumulative effect of genocide on Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese people, but that's because I'm an antisemite...

@madeindex if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Their greatest fear is that a tween will be able to identify micro-penis on sight.

@georgetakei he won't. He's nothing without Trump and Trump is going to leave office with W-level approval if not worse. I doubt he wins the GOP primary.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online And after all these years, I realize the only move was to have cut support for the DNC in 2000. Supporting this lesser, loser rightwing party for another 26 years buys nothing but a harder time in the future whenever we actually start to oppose this.

@Su_G@aus.social @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @alcinnz@floss.social @shadow53@floss.social @baldur@toot.cafe AND while still in the pre-enshittification pricing, where Saudi royals are floating 80% of your anime waifu!

@Npars01@mstdn.social @GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @EdCates@mastodon.social I think that narrative is more cover for a deeply undemocratic party that has controlled its primaries with an iron fist since they first started having primaries. Being "in disarray" is a far more convenient narrative to explain your "failures" than "this party is ruled by class traitors who sold you out and choose to do nothing except help their masters in Tel Aviv rape and murder children."

@cdarwin just want to point out that Gavin exempted Panera from this because they bribed him. This is who the DNC is going to force on you next as their presidential nominee.

@eff@mastodon.social I wish everyone had pushed this decades ago. Most new publications don't even HAVE RSS, even for headlines, like Semaphor.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online Joe Biden is a genocidal madman who murdered 250,000+ human beings in the name of their racial inferiority to the master race. Genocide Joe is an accurate label for one of history's greatest monsters, not "stuff."

@yoasif@mastodon.social @DarkWebInformer@infosec.exchange until 30% of the desktop space is Linux and 10% of mobile is Graphene/Lineage/etc they are going to assume the consumer's face can take infinite their balls in that face.

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange this is 99% of US software jobs now (and not much better the last 20+ years tbh)

@aral@mastodon.ar.al it's fucking insane how my entire life, we have been propagandized about holocaust this and holocaust that, but it wasn't about principle and that genocide is wrong, it's that it was wrong to come after the ACTUAL master race, who DOES get to rape and kill and steal and blackmail and hack and manipulate and violate ceasefires with impunity forever and you unensouled monkeys just have to TAKE it. This complicity with the end of international law is INSANE!

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online this attitude is why the DNC hasn't been replaced by the Greens or WFP and is run by rightwingers like Chuck Schumer, offering a platform of being $1 less evil than the GOP, or as I call it, the "Price Is Right" strategy of lesser evil politics. We are living in the hell wrought by the failure to demand better. Donald Trump is the direct product of these politics under Obama.

@FranceskAlbs it's become apparent that international law is dead. We will need to negotiate a new global legal framework once WWIII ends.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online the DNC is the Blue MAGA right's party, and always will be. Fighting on their turf dooms the left, we need another vehicle.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online I'd argue the person on Chuck Schumer's team is aiding the enemy, but agree to disagree, I guess...

@oatmeal@kolektiva.social Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries share this worldview.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @maccruiskeen@social.linux.pizza I just think the moral burden is on the unpopular party, not on those who (perhaps incorrectly) realize that they were right in 2000 when they voted for Nader, and rather than being kowtowed back into the DNC fold, they should have spent the last 25 years building a Green party that can beat the GOP, rather than be Jill Stein's vanity party, because the DNC is allergic to victory, by corrupt design of the Jen O'Malley Dillon set.

@rbreich@masto.ai Oh God, is Schumer going to back Collins against the DNC ticket like a she-Lieberman (a Sheberman if you will) or was this image unintentionally ambiguous?

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange NGL, IRGC looks epic as hell rn.

@julieofthespirits THIS

@RosethornRanger@spore.social the CIA also literally admitted to controlling US academia via "thousands of assets at hundreds of institutions" during the Church Commission, but if you say "The CIA controls US academia" people look at you like you're crazy. Normies won't even accept sworn congressional testimony when it inconveniences their worldview.

@da_667 there are two teams: oligarch and labor. Cloudflare is a CIA op, so...

@austinkocher@mastodon.social I mostly complain about DNC leadership and I would LOVE to verbally abuse Chuck Schumer right to his dumb, racist face, so I'm onboard!

@veronica I loved Debian so before its 2013-ish community meltdown. I still love Debian, run it, and it's gotten better, but what I would really love is a Debian for the Arch epoch. Like rolling distros got Copyfail kernel patches in MARCH! Is there NO way we can put stable superstructure ala Debian ontop of better kernel situations?

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online old enough I've voted for Nader. The last real primary was '92. I was a Clinton volunteer and it really did feel like Primary Colors on the ground. Obama wasn't a real primary. Schumer organized the DNC leadership behind Obama in secret and Hillary didn't get the memo, so there was a bunch of sound and fury, but as per always, the DNC doesn't do real federal primaries and they got their man as always. This cycle will be no different, they've ordained Gavin as Biden before.

@QudsNen Israel is a nation of thieves, rapists, murderers, hackers, a d pedophiles. Truly vile scum.

@angiebaby Jeeves died for our sins so Computer Linguist scammers like its founders could find life eternal in AI

@angiebaby @arstechnica this is kind of a non-issue since it seems like Carr is gonna go along with the Sinclair/Nexstar push to go 100% ATSC 3.0 in 2028, which will just END broadcast TV. If you need a $200 Android box among a set of 7 available models, which doesn't reliably work anyway because the DRM bullshit is broken, and you need to be on the internet anyway, NOBODY is going to be watching broadcast in 2029 via not getting it without better web shit as an option anyway.

@FranceskAlbs it's insane that you are sanctioned but Netanyahu can freely go to any non-Hungary EU state. We live under an inverted social order that cannot stand.

@VanessaK try posting this on science Lemmy...

@mastodonmigration @heidilifeldman this is insane. Why would a progressive choose to vote Democrat if what is on offer is conservatism? This "Yay team!" tribal bullshit is why our politics are so dysfunctional. I support actual material policy and outcomes with real responsibility for even celebrity heroes. I would put Obama in jail tomorrow for his war crimes next to Biden, W, and Trump at The Hague. This is how actual justice works. Reason. Consistency. Dispassion.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social also Loops exists

@rms this reminds me of when I worked for an OG Silicon Valley .com. We had "ethics" training that almost exclusively was lies about you not being able to insider trade via a relative or friend and "DO NOT CALL THE COPS NO MATTER WHAT." Big tech is big sketch.

@royaards@newsie.social same way Trump got so many votes: a neoliberal establishment that uses all of its energy fighting off any promise of change on the left, so anyone who wants to vote against that neoliberal establishment is funneled to the right by the neoliberal establishment itself.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online Donald Trump won't be on the ballot, it will be Gavin Newsom (because the DNC doesn't have democratic federal primaries and they already ordained him) and someone 8% to the right of Gavin Newsom of unknown specific identity because the GOP has an actual democratic primary process. Probably Marco Rubio or MTG. Gavin v MTG I'm sitting out or voting third party, sorry.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online that regime that will kill more was born from Obama bailing out the bankers, letting main street die, expanding the foreign adventurism, doing Mitt Romney's healthcare plan, but worse, and generally wanting to be a celebrity instead of a leader. The failure to MAKE the DNC do better (or just give McCain the win and build out the Greens as a vehicle for the left) directly causes Trump. Your acquiescence to DNC malfunction will only sow worse seeds than Trump, like before with W

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online if you don't see how a rightwing DNC that agrees with the GOP 95% of the time isn't the majority of how we got here in terms of genocide and climate collapse, I suppose I will never convince you that removing them will help anything, so we are at an impasse. Let's keep the corporate dems in there because they are killing it as per helping the downtrodden, which elitists like us lefties don't get because of all the white privilege and toxic Bernie bro masculinity. This will win
