Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Spend money on useless technology ✅

Spend the money that you will end up spending on useless technology on actually solving the problem ❌

Considering what liberals think "solving the problem" wrt homelessness means, I'm glad they're not trying to "solve" it quite yet.

There's got to be a way to jam this up with false positives

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

it should be pretty damn easy.. a few cardboard boxes strewn about oughta do the trick

Maybe even a stencil on concrete surfaces, or wheatpastes

Comrades in the tech industry, is there anything even worthwhile about the industry?

I'm starting to get the feeling I should just go back to college after no luck finding work, but if tech is like this I think I might want to F off.

very little. I lucked into work that isn't actively evil but its not exactly meaningful. I do like using my skills outside of work for side projects though

[–] Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Yep, I'd hate to get a job in this industry but I do like contributing to open-source things and working on random projects in my free time.

No

The worst part is that all your coworkers are largely happy bootlickers so good luck doing any sort of unionizing or push back against anything

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago

no, it's all about fucking people over in whatever twisted ways you can dream up

Tech bros need to be stopped.
