I can feel it coming. I’ve started to devest myself anything that dares to show me an ad. It’s liberating. You don’t actually have to live in their algorithmic black box. RSS still exist, fediverse isn’t going anywhere and the constellation of ad blockers are still doing the Lords work. Fuck the marketers.
I noticed quickly after telling a guy in work than linux folks have… opinions
Ive been teetering on the edge of a fulI move to linux for some time but never could find the energy. I logged onto my windows PC last night, and something about the notification ping, the busted start menu and hearing the fans go wild even though I was doing nothing really pissed me off.
Thought fuck it. Booted up balena etcher, and 30 mins late I was in dual boot Ubuntu. Spent the night getting used to rider and getting the game I’m working on running and I’m NEVER going back to windows.
I tried linux mint a while back and had no end of issues but with Ubuntu it was seamless and painless. I am converted.
As far as I’m concerned it’s between him and his manager.
Nope, we use WhatsApp for escalation from clients when a ticket is too important to wait. Works great. Management talks to management and passes to us.
Same. I migrated from reddit because reddit are miserable bastards. There’s still some humanity here
Literally every time I see this referenced I go and look at the original flier on the pole and laugh my sack off. The way the last line just says “1 day blinding stew” in kinda shitty letters just riddles me.
He got publicly humiliated and force to apologise. A man working for nasa pushing the boundaries of human knowledge forced to humble himself before a bunch of keyboard warrior puritans.
It was distasteful but he didn’t deserve what he got. Disgusting how he was treated imo.
How did moz shoot themselves in the foot? I am genuinely asking as I missed any controversy.
For me its a principle thing too. I’ve always really despised tv adverts back when we only had 4 channels in the UK and I’ve maintained the hatred all these years. If you do even the most cursory dive into marketing you realise the people involved in the industry are the most vile, horrible cunts ever.
Fuck your ads, fuck your marketing. Choose no.
