work related but without context

I don't think I ever "signed up" to get "marketing emails" from GitLab (of all places)

I'm pretty sure signing people up for marketing lists without their consent is against the law? ...

MS GitHub: *shoves Copilot ðŸ’Đ into everything*

GitLab: "hold my transcendent beer"

I don't need noone to tell me "AI is bad", those companies themselves manage to radicalize me just fine

every f-ing time the file manager (nautilus) crashes while I'm working I lose a tiny bit of what's left of my sanity ðŸĪŠ ðŸĪŠ
