I love when an API takes a json payload, and one of the json fields is a string that contains json, so I have to serialize/deserialze in stages 😭

That and snyder.
And of course, no conflict of interest there at all

Have you seen what the supreme Court justices that he appointed have been doing?

They make a big stink about old supreme courts overreaching, but seem to go out of their way to grab power for themselves and their buddies 🤔

I never made it as a wise man

What a loss 😏

Hmmm interesting. I was under the impression that enshitification was “making something shittier in the pursuit of (eg) greed”, I didn’t realize that it only applies to when the creator (controller? owner?) of the thing does it.

Has it always been used for this specific case? If so, what is the word for the more general case I described?

You make it sound like monetization can’t happen on a FOSS platform. Bots are a form of monetization, it’s just not by the people who created and control the platform.

As it gets popular, bots will come for the purpose of creating an audience and monetizing them.

That’s not agile.

It’s not bad, it’s just not agile. Agile exists for projects where that simply isn’t possible. Its sacrificing a bit of potential best-case productivity to ensure you don’t get worst-case productivity.

The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.

Poe’s Law, in action

It seems like our socialized healthcare doesn’t cover our sarcasm detector organ 😅

Lol well, fair enough!

I still aggressively assert that it still benefits humanity to protect each other, even people who don’t know they need it.

But that’s a pretty reasonable response, I have to admit lol

Throwing babies in the deep end is how you get a lot of dead babies who would have grown up to be excellent swimmers.

Like, you fail to understand that youre first on the chopping block if we start to push darwinism. You wouldn’t be sacrificing yourself, you’d just be the first to go.

But in those cases, isn’t fear supposed to be balanced by some reward? Competing instincts/motivations?

Why is it always the people who most need OSHA who want it removed.

Why is it always the least fit people who want to promote survival of the fittest?

But specifically fear instincts seems strange. It makes sense to us because we’re us, but look at it more clinically: we seek out to stimulate the instinct that keeps us safe. That means that it’d doing the exact opposite of its purpose. If we seek to stimulate our fear, that means we seek to put ourselves in situations where fear is a reasonable response, which is exactly what fear was evolved to prevent.
How did this behavior develop, and how did we survive once it did?

That’s still a pretty messed up pass time if you’re not anthropomorphizing. It’s a crazy way to have evolved.

I like that “safe space” theory, that seems very plausible.

It’s still a bit messed up though, because that part of our brain can’t distinguish between play fear and real fear, so we get “rewarded” for both which seems like a very risky move, evolutionary.

I can imagine the aliens being like

How did they survive to become the apex species?

Although with all the brinkmanship and poor threat analysis we’ve exhibiting now on a global scale, perhaps we won’t survive as the apex species for long, so 🤷

HOW DARE YOU 😉
