It is, at least in my experience. Further, my recently laid off colleagues have been trying to find work for months, some of whom have been applying for jobs that would require pay cuts, with no luck.

Pretty much every job listing in the tech space gets hundreds if not thousands of applicants because the layoffs have not stopped for three years. You can see what I mean at layoffs.fyi. In tech, 60,000 so far this year, 153,000 in 2024, 264,000 in 2023, and 165,000 in 2022.

That’s not even counting those that graduated in the last couple of years. Those people are in an extra bad spot because they have a large amount of college debt with no way to make their payments.

All of STEM is suffering because of corporate greed and rising anti-intellectualism.

Sure, it’s just even worse with big tech.

who cares

Depends on the meat, if it’s beef, I don’t. If it’s poultry or pork, yes, because I don’t trust myself enough to not get food poisoning.

There will definitely be more, especially as the economic situation in the US continues to worsen. Big tech works under the unsustainable model of unlimited growth, and even if profits increase, if they don’t increase “enough” they lay off workers. They could save a ton of money by laying off execs, but they’ll never do that.

I’ve found layoffs.fyi to be pretty up to date with tracking how many people are laid off in the tech sector. It’s no wonder that it’s nearly impossible to find a job in tech, and these execs and boards are to blame.

I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t considered a career change, not because of the work itself but because I’m exhausted from worrying about if I’ll have a job to pay the bills tomorrow. The only thing stopping me is that I have no idea what I’d do otherwise.

Personally, I’d rather not have a card that could catch fire or have missing ROPs.

Yep, you can pay with monero for faster direct downloads

They stole people’s identity, so yes, while they duped the banks, they were stealing people’s mail at the same time.

In no way does Signal prevent conversations from being archived. For all you know, a recipient could be screenshotting all of your messages, and they could even be using the official app when doing so.

If you don’t trust your contacts, probably shouldn’t be messaging them anything sensitive.

Yikes.

That implies that the other tariffs made sense. None of them do, so this shouldn’t be shocking to anyone.

If I nap, I can’t sleep when actual bedtime rolls around. So, pretty much only when I’m sick.

If it was just my parents and I using it, that’d be fine, but it’s not. In my experience, nothing is quite as simple as “always on”, and if something breaks, even unrelated to tailscale or anything I set up, I’ll be to blame even when it wasn’t my fault.

It just wouldn’t work for my users, unfortunately, and I don’t want to be responsible for endpoints on networks that someone else owns. I’m not denying that it’s possible or that it works for some people.

That’s the real benefit of a solution like Plex - it makes it so I only have to manage my own network, and if I want to invite someone new, I just ask them for the email attached to their Plex account, and I’m done.

I also am curious where you’re finding rpi’s for $35.

Your users shouldn’t be upset because nothing has changed for them. It shouldn’t be the end of the world to tell your users that nothing has changed. None of my users have reached out.

I’ll agree that they should have only sent it to affected users.

Your users might be more upset that you’re pulling the plug and will require technically involved setups such as tailscale for Jellyfin. Gotta pick your battles.

I’m not a diehard fan of plex or anything, but I would never be able to get my mother in law to properly set up any type of VPN. None of my users are technically inclined. Until Jellyfin has a different solution, I will unfortunately be sticking with Plex.

It doesn’t matter that they got the email, everyone did. You need to read it further and see that if a server owner has a Plex pass, the users do not need to pay.

I don’t quite understand your confusion, they sent the email to everyone with an account. The email indicates clearly that if a server owner has a Plex pass, the users do not need it. The email is not “wrong”.

Of course, like someone else here said, anything is possible. Since we’re talking broadly, they wouldn’t necessarily even need the spyware if you leak anything else network wise, meaning even if you use Linux it could be caught.

I posted this elsewhere, but…

Their food started being so insanely priced that they made a post that was the equivalent of corporate propaganda back in 2024. This was disproven again and again and again.

Their greed has been hurting them because no one wants to pay the insane prices for shit food. They stopped competing with budget fast food, coming closer to fast casual. Like, if I’m gonna spend that cash, I might as well go to Five Guys or Red Robin.

I noticed similar drastic price increases at Little Caesars. $30 for two pizzas and a breadstick combo is insane especially since they use the worst ingredients and let their pizzas sit around all day. Dominos is actually cheaper in my area, why the hell would I ever go to Little Caesars?

I also would miss disasters, I was hoping that would be a DLC by now. I love prepping for the chaos of them in the original. Thanks for the info!
