Annoying to be a student of history right now.

A populist leader coming to power on the heels of crushing inflation. One who blames the country’s problems on a minority ethnic group he rounds up in detention centers while promising to invade neighboring countries and attempting to compromise the major forms of mass media. All sounds familiar.

History doesn’t repeat but it sure does rhyme.

More scumbaggery from Meta, blocking links to a "competitor" so tiny that it's a rounding error on a rounding error of FB/Insta/etc traffic.

Expired: Your 2 cents posted on billionaire-owned social media

I see a lot of pointing and laughing at the brouhaha between Musk and Ramaswamy, and the MAGA crowd who's pissed off at them for the whole H1B thing, and claiming America doesn't have enough engineers.

But here's the thing. Musk had a whole helluva lot of engineers when he bought Twitter. He decimated his own workforce.

Every other tech CEO looked at that, went "HEY THAT LOOKS PROFITABLE," and chucked a bunch of their own engineers out the door, too.

The tech job market is STILL reeling from this.

So I call bullshit on the whole "America doesn't have enough engineers" claim. What they really mean is, there's a shortage of engineers they can get away with paying shit wages.

Signed, QA Engineer still out of work after a year and a half

My year 2024 in podcasts. #AntennaPodEcho over 160 hrs or podcasts this year, not bad since I hardly drive anywhere I think
