Not just online; priests, CEOs, celebrities, politicians; don't make them happy you're a sinner, a bad employee, hater of freedom, etc.

Anyone with a rhetorical opinion but who otherwise provides little to getting cars off assembly lines, homes built, network cables laid.

In physical terms the world is full of socialist grifters in that they only have a voice, no skill. They are reliant on money because they're helpless to themselves.

Engineers could rule the world of they acted collectively rather than start personal businesses. If we sat on our hands unless demands are met, the world stops.

A lot of people in charge fear tech unions as we control the world getting shit done.

Looked at repos of the two loudest users in that thread; either they have none or it's all forks of other projects.

Non-contributors dictating how the hen makes bread.

Tested shorter. Takes 2-2.5 miles to trigger a muscle relaxation response in core and shoulders. Another 2+ miles in that state to feel the same release in extremities and head/mental space.

Doubt a lawyer actually modified a website.

That's what GPT is for.

Trivial syntax glitches matter when it is math and code.

In law what matters is the meaning of the overall composition, "the big picture", not trivial details a linguist would care about.

Stick to contextualizing the technology side of things. This "zomg no apostrophe" just comes off as cringe.

Regular people don't have global reach and influence over humanity's agency, attention, beliefs, politics and economics.

Nuremberg/just following orders might fly if we were talking about a cashier at Dollar General.

This is a genius tech bro who ignored warnings coming out institutions and general public frustration. Would be difficult to believe they didn't have some idea of the risks, how their reach into others lives manipulated agency.

Ground truth is apples:oranges but parallels to looting riches then fleeing Germany are hard to unsee.

It's claimed Adam Smith wrote hundreds of years ago that (paraphrased) division of labor taken to extremes would result in humans dumber than the lowest animal.

This era proves it out, I believe.

Decline in manual, cross context skills and rise in "knowledge" jobs is a huge part of our problem. Labor pool lacks muscle memory across contexts. Cannot readily pivot to in defiance.

Socialized knowledge has a habit of being discredited and obsoleted with generational churn, while physical reality hangs in there. Not looking great for those who planned on 30-40 years of cloud engineering and becoming director of such n such before attaining title of vp of this and that.

Front row seats to the apocalypse would be metal af.

Car manufacturers need to step up their hype game...

New Honda Civic discovered Pacific Ocean!

New F150 discovers Utah Salt Flats!

Sure it took humans engineering and operating our machines, but the car is the real contributor here!

Shortcuts run but often do not trigger all the stages in a pipeline. No issues with same shortcuts prior to installing iOS26. These Shortcuts do not trigger UI transitions. They send data over network.

Sounds like Apple management enabled a quality assurance failure that is fostering so many distractions for users it's turning people against Apple.

Tim Cook handing his replacement a dumpster fire.

It's "culturally normal" for first worlders like us to thoughtlessly dump production of material needs on 12 year old sweatshop workers in Asia.

You have a point but I am not sure it is the one you intended.

It's not just the keyboard. My iPhone 15 is often so unresponsive I am tapping twice as much.

Example but the issue not limited to web browsing; Safari will do nothing, I tap again, it does the thing, then it does the thing again due to the second tap. I have to tap back to get to where I really wanted to go.

Two things:

Decades of reiterating to myself it's none of the verbose semantics and socialized sensory memory my brain tries to feed me (imposter syndrome for example), but is just biochemistry habit from exposure to social memes.

4-5 mile walk as often as possible. Any less and a sense of reset does not kick in.

A generation deified via TV appearances and book sales for decades.

They look online and see humanity moving on.

They look in the mirror and see less time ahead of them than behind them.
