It's 1991, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

It's 2003, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

It's 2025, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".

Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

Finally got that Despicable Me meme edited up and ready for when we need it next week (pretty sure I missed this week’s use).

OH MY GOD THERE IS MORE.

You have to excuse him: he has the benefit of heighten (sic) pattern recognition.

And yes, it’s real. Here’s the link to the last post in the thread (you have to be logged in to view it all): https://bsky.app/profile/meredithmeredith.bsky.social/post/3lrsry6wjis2m

Got somewhere to be, pushed to production early and shutdown the terminal.

You know your duty.

Trickle-down economics is like the Human Centipede except the billionaire at the front has constipation.

@drahardja
Men like this are an embarrassment to the entire human race
@khoji @drahardja Don't be sexist, people of any gender who behave like this are an embarassment to the human race. ;)
@Murenius Yes,but. Far more of us men behave like this than do people who are not men. IDK why. Maybe his balls are so big they sucked all the blood from his brain.
@khoji @drahardja

@drahardja Guys like him make me embarrassed to be a man 😅

Also, apparently he does not know was 'non profit' means.

What an asshole.

@Mopsi
He don't care in fact. For this a**hole, everything must be prifitable. Even if it kills our planet.
@drahardja
@drahardja Btw, if Meredith Whittaker responds to this stuff on here, we should let her know, that not everyone is like this and give her some love for her work.
@Mopsi @drahardja please dont be a "not all men"
@f4grx @drahardja Not at all. But when you have unpleasant interactions, it's nice to hear from people who support you.
@drahardja He also doesn't know what a non-profit is. 🤦
@drahardja I forgot that developers only eat profit, not food. Silly of a non-profit to think they could feed their developers.
@drahardja (also, someone should tell him that "profit" traditionally is what's leftover *after* you pay your staff)

@quietmarc

Sorry, he benefits from heightened pattern recognition, so he can hardly be wrong about the most basic business concepts.

@drahardja

@quietmarc @drahardja profit is theft. If they were genuinely paid the full value they create as workers there would be no profit to be had.
@drahardja There isn’t a face nor a palm big enough 🤦‍♂️
@drahardja This man is several criminal charges short of becmoing President or Prime Minister of a terrorist country, he's already got the idiocy and audacity boxes checked.

@drahardja

At this point I feel pity and just want to recommend he gets help for his illness.

@drahardja This reminds me that I really should donate to Signal.

@dawngreeter @drahardja I have Signal, but I have no friends on Signal and I donate to Signal just because of shit like this.

pundit: Put LLM in Signal!
Meridith: no

Take my money.

@drahardja “I do think I have a better insight than the president of the company”

What⁉️

@drahardja Odds he used an LLM to write his responses?
@Dataless @drahardja how do we know this is not a bot wasting everyone's time
@Dataless @drahardja I think LLM is generous. He sounds like Internet Moron Mad Libs.
@drahardja this is mainstream tech media unmasked. Nothing this dude says isn't verbatim to how tech is portrayed in mainstream media. We need to call out this process of manufacturing narratives fueled by dogmatic beliefs in capitalism.
@drahardja @kbsez <Checks social platform>… oh never mind. One is as bad as the others. My hope is that here we’re not quite so dim.
@drahardja everyone else is eating the poison, clearly the people pointing out that it's poison will it is inevitable, I recognise pattern
@drahardja one of the worst to ever do it
@drahardja To be fair, if it were any other company then he would be right. But Signal, sigh
@drahardja can I preemptively block account names that don't exist on Fedi?

@drahardja 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What. A. Buffoon.

#MansplainingFTL

@drahardja The Farce is strong with this one.
@drahardja I went through a similar conversation with someone over this very topic. It was sad, really.

@drahardja "straight to the name calling" ???

Wow. That complete unawareness/hubris combo is Cordon Bleu-level chef's kiss.

@NadiaPurge @drahardja There are so many levels of asshattery there that I just don't know where to start.
@NadiaPurge @drahardja When they don't do AI he will credit himself for having convinced them not to.
@drahardja That “heighten pattern recognition”, is that what us peasants call being high on your own supply?
@drahardja That is some serious mansplaining right there. I doff my hat to you, sir.
@drahardja I'm sure dude thinks he can score a point on Serena Williams too.

@controlc @drahardja hahahahahaha

It really is the same Type of Guy, isn't it.

And thanks, @drahardja — I'd seen the first screenshot, but could never have imagined someone could be so idiotic and tone-deaf as to keep going. It truly boggles the mind!

@controlc

@drahardja there isn't enough aloe Vera in the world yo deal with that burn - and still he kept going.
I'm almost impressed at his inability to read a room!

@drahardja 🤣🤣🤣

The guy is up there with the one #mansplaining A handmaid's tale to Margaret Atwood 🤣🤣🤣
