You can be proud of the small minority of us IN the country that resist. But this country is not something to be proud of. That's like saying your proud of Germany as a country in the 1930s because Jewish and communist militia's fought the rise of Hitlers brown shirts.
You can be proud of those people. But it's weird to direct it at "the country" because it's essentially resisting everything that that country represents.
Saying "I don't believe X conspiracy theory" is understandable. But saying you don't believe in any "conspiracy theory". Like, you think that the government just always tells the truth and doesn't cover up anything?
Unironically, if all they did was just cut out parts they didn't want, using open source ffmpeg to rencode and strip metadata would have been the best way to do it.
Using Adobe is just fucking sloppy. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure Adobe own any content that got uploaded to their servers during the edit. They likely have at least frames of it sitting on their servers if not the whole video.
Everywhere. Even if they have warrants. Seriously. These are Nazis and should be treated as such. Do not let them kidnap people. Shame them until there are enough numbers on your side to fight back.
If you don't know the victims name. Learn it and keep repeating it. Yell "they are trying to kidnap
<name>
!". It humanizes them further against a masked person that won't identify themselves. It can help attract people around to help.
And it has to be you. Everyone else is in "freeze" mode as they don't know what's going on. You do. You know. You gotta be the one to start resistance. But you won't be alone long.
Literally just had the same thing happen to me. This time at Microsoft. Worked for a small startup. It got bought out in 2023 after investments in actual hardware that wasn't named Nvidia died.
Layoffs on most of our engineers. Somehow I survived and basically did no work for 2 years. Was finally laid off.
I hated it. But I basically stole a salary from Microsoft for two years. Fuck these big tech companies.
Oh man. You should see the source code for IOS (the Cisco one not Apple).
Spent 5 years working on it out of college. I think it's the most cursed code base you can imagine.
Not necessarily because of the massive struct defs everywhere. They are kinda needed when you're running an entire OS as basically a set of interacting Linux processes pretending to be an OS.
At some point Cisco realized they could not compete without putting a Linux kernel as their base. So they basically just copy and pasted the old code written in the early 90s for the IOS and put it into a set Linux processes.
To be clear. It's not just the front end. They didn't really change the code much from the old IOS. Its a cluster fuck of interprocess communication hacks that probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
It is a massive pain in the ass to code because you're basically doing everything on the Linux kernel and then frustratingly have to write the CLIs for IOS just so Cisco can continue to sell their proprietary OS with some of the most unnecessary hardware locks. Massive learning curve for any new engineer.
Literally, no one on the entire switching team knew how to send a message from a specific process to the IOS process. I had been assigned something that needed it. So I somehow figured it out and was "the guy" for that for the time I spent there.
Fuck. I'm gonna start ranting more if I go any further. But yeah, sometimes you need a massive struct because some idiot decided that forcing a closed source CLI on the market is a good idea for profits.
Definitely not a good idea for coding. But you learn quickly that no one actually cares about good code in this industry. There is no time for it. There is no reason for it. Just spit out garbage until it works and your manager won't care.
If you want clean code. Go write an open source project or a personal project.
Yes. But unironically. We finally found out what it would have been like if Bernie has won the primary. The Dems would have thrown everything at him losing the general. Probably calling him antisemitic along the way.
35 percent do. I am mildly worried what happens with ranked choice voting and all the idiots that are voting for the rest of the losers. It's not like the Democratic primary where basically all the "no chance" rank 1 people were gonna put Mamdani as their second or third choice.
Bug Report: Unchecking all but one of the items in the donut chart displays that stats as 0%.
Is this meant to break down each category later? Because it seems pointless either way.
"Convicted Criminal" is pretty vague too. What category would someone with a charge of Jwalking or a traffic fit in here?
