Best way to talk to lib friends about Taiwan?
  • Important thing to keep in mind is when to give up. If after showing them the facts of Taiwanese opinions on independence, history of colonialism, fascism, and oppression they still disagree, you stop trying and do better things with your time. You have limited time and energy to agitate people, always go for the easiest targets to maximize your results

  • Hit one year since graduation. Still unemployed. Still super fuckin bummed about it, still super worried about the future.
  • It's time to start lying on your resume. I literally can't code better than your average highschool graduate but I know enough about the industry and job to lie my ass off and I study a lot to pass these leetcode, system design, and behavioral interview questions. I work on some super complex financial systems I can't understand at all but hey, I'm still employed for now until they decide to PIP me

    DM me for advice if you're open

  • Consumers are so demoralized by inflation and high rates they've given up on saving for the American Dream and are spending money instead, economist says

  • Why are people buying records in 2024?
  • Missing the forest for the trees imo

    Younger people are increasingly looking to past decades for cultural inspiration. From fashion to music mediums like vinyls and cassettes.

    So they look back at the good old days before any of this was a concern to Westerners. Even their online aesthetics only come as far as the early early internet days before everything was so hypercommodified by companies and it was mostly just people fucking around making things they enjoyed with no profit incentive in mind

  • Google Photos/Gmail AI data removal
  • Afaik in the app there isn't. I think the actual photo data bytes do get deleted but some other crap generated from the ML models ran on them stay. Databases are also constantly replicated and snapshotted multiple times for all Google services and I have no idea how long those last either

    America is home to people from every place on Earth, some whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years and others who have only just arrived.  We all came from somewhere, but we are all American — loyal not to a person or a place but to an idea:  We are all…
