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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Not a techie, but went to class and roomed with techies. All of the exposure, none of the perks
Working is another hellhole level of exposure be glad you never experienced that at least
The scary part is the handful of computer touchers I maintained contact with after they got whisked away into surveillance or even military-industrial empires present themselves as superficially happy about their work. Not just on LinkedIn; they sort of present themselves like a LinkedIn account.
For those reading that don't know what that is like, just imagine a typical HackerNews community circlejerk but lived and spoken.
They probably are truly happy working on that dumb ass empire 1984 nerd shit
I'm so fucking jealous of them all
It's especially fucked how they buy into the "cool hacker rebel with a hoodie" aesthetic like a fucking youtube music compilation and make six figures and wear lanyards while making society a little more oppressive.
Without confirmed exception the ones I know are all "GALACTIC EMPIRE DID NOTHING WRONG" contrarians that also enthusiastically talked about their "zombie apocalypse survival plans"
