@janl@narrativ.es @sommer@macaw.social @trygve_lie@mastodon.social @coderbyheart@chaos.social I know no other way to find a good one than to talk to people I trust. sadly the ones which are good often times are fully booked. it also varies greatly depending on where you live, in the bigger city you have more choices.
I think the best advice is to do what you do now, which is to change the moment it does not fit. even if it's not a fun process.
the book "seeing like a smugler" provides some great insights into how broders work and how they affect the folks living on either side. it also shows how murky the line is between legal and illegal trade in these areas, and also how nation states balance needing them while also feeling a need to punish business in border lands.
it provides an insight into the humans involved, the local contexts and how it often times is rooted in a longer history of activity. a truly fascinating book which expands your perception of what a border is.

@sommer@macaw.social it is a bit weird that we somehow ended up with "chat roulette" being the best way to provide folks with medical help :) but here we are, at least they have made it easy to change.
Oslo friends, tomorrow you get an early start AND you get to tell Palantir to f-off .
Akersgata 58, 8:30.
let’s tell our politicians we are not cool with this company further getting their claws into our government
will 2026 be the year we all become über-style wage laborers, doing data labeling for the AIs? is that what senior programmers will do while the savior founders work their magic building the future?
@baldur@toot.cafe same, why people aren’t outraged and just apathetic is just sad. instead I see folks turn to nostalgia and try to stay low until it’s over.
er det bare meg, eller trenger vi et safe space for å snakke om hvor jævlig det er å jobbe i teknologibransjen og hvordan vi skal holde ut 2026?
@mrjorgen@snabelen.no I do not see any hope for this price. it’s a show case for a world view of western imperialism, which has never seen peace as something that should only happen in our own countries
@mrjorgen@snabelen.no I guess that includes the Nobel Peace Price given that they handed it out to people committing war crimes and war mongering presidents
I talked about fascism in technology, its historical origins and its present day form. naturally we have to talk about Palantir, but we also address the fascist nature of the techno optimists.
It's in Norwegian only I'm afraid.

I stedet for å bruke penger på Januarsalg, bli med å støtt de som kjemper for Villreinen.
companies thinking ai bots crawling shitty docs will make things better will spon learn that curated docs which are good are way better, even if some things might be missing.
bringing mountains of bad docs on equals terms as good docs will not make things better.
it follows today’s short sighted quick fix mentality, where you’ll do _anything_ to prevent addressing root causes.
Palantir ut av Norge, en rekke organisasjoner samlet seg da de forsøkte snakke seg inn i varmen hos IT ministeren.
Tech-fascister er ikke velkommen, få dem ut!

å se profesjonelle utviklere «LOL’e» med å «lage ting jeg ikke har peil på med AI» er så nedrig. ikke bare pisser de på håndverket til andre folk, i tillegg viser de manglende integritet da de *vet* det de gjør er bare et dårlig trylletriks. samtidig graver de sin egen grav 🤣🙈😭🤷
Avon Barksdale and Sam Altman, two leaders sharing the same strategy to manage their employees and to steer clear of accountability for their shady actions. You can read «From Baltimore to Silicon Valley - what scammers, the mob and AI companies have in common»

I hope the almighty Toot holds its protective tusks up for me, I committed blogging.
