I was looking for "buzzword soup website doesn't say what the product fucking does"
Maybe that wouldn't fit in a square

It's so perfectly terrible 🥹
I was scrolling through job postings today and came across one that read like this. I was confused -> clicked the link -> saw a picture of two oil rig workers -> genuinely said "Ah, oil!" out loud -> and closed the web page.
They try to hide behind green washing and jargon. It happened to me at a university career fair a few months ago, too.
the only possible way this could be worse was if it was called CloudChain and also had weird blockchain/crypto nonsense.
Chat, is this real?
Oh, that CloudBox...
A game of Bingo requires several players to have different cards. That would be on another card. Other possible entries:
Are you talking about the turbo encabulator, retro encabulator, or hyper encabulator?
Happens often with GitHub projects as well. It's that or "it expands on the capabilities of BLARG by making it easier to use" - doesn't explain the changes
You completely forgot:
"Actually just monetizes somethign that already existed for free"
Though I guess Ads is already the free space.
I would add "people blame programmers and CS majors instead of rich dudes for some reason."
My code only gets me one square :(
(Doesn't work)
So if someone says Windows, everybody gets a Bingo somehow?
do i create a new tech alt on some short form content site? or is there an intended way to use the bingo board
The "bug causes death" thing can be ticked for everything safety critical. Starts with the small electronics in an elevator.
Are they making elevators without mechanical fail-safes now?
Getting real SAO Abridged vibes here
skynut will 100% be a thing meta makes
Edit: why is it wrong to laude a company I work for because they are ethical and doing business how it should be done? If we do not share the good companies as alternatives how will we ensure that they stick around?
I am actually very proud that the company I work for literally does not tick a single box.
We are a cloud infrastructure company that caters to animation and visual effects artists. We sponsor people's passion projects. Everything is a prepay model that does not have any minimums and actually let's you zero your account. No advertising, no data harvesting (I can say that with confidence as I would be the person doing it if it were happening and I don't). Genuine altruism and genuine customer centric development. And the culture is not toxic in the slightest. The owners always make sure we are all paid before taking a dime and never take more than they pay the rest of us. It is seriously such a good company.
They also do compute for computational chemistry, prosumer AI platforming (providing access to ComfyUI, A1111, etc, not actually building AIs or stealing anyone's data), and we can handle just about anything else.
If anyone out there has need for compute power for anything and want to work with a company that actually gives a shit, reach out. Especially if it is in a vertical space we already provide services in.
You might have just crossed off the central box
I get what you are sayin, but it was not an advertisement since I am acting as a citizen, not an employee. I wanted to actually share that I was proud of my bosses for doing things the way they should. If we don't share the ones that behave right, they will all vanish because it is not as profitable to behave right as it is to abuse customers and employees. I would encourage anyone who works somewhere that acts with honor and respect to share it and offer proof of why it is true. Laude the laudable, ya know? We do a good job of calling out the pieces of shit, but not for offering alternatives.
Where is the source code?
Just wanting to make sure I understand your position, only open source code can be ethical?
Yes. Libre to be exact.
That is interesting and a bit anarcho, and I will not say I disagree, but I am of two minds given my distinct role on both sides of the line. We have made some of our code public, but there are privacy and security concerns given we are handling people's personal data and private artwork, so exposing the whole codebase exposes potential security flaws, so keeping parts closed source makes sense. Balancing people's privacy has to be a consideration as well when dealing with offering services.
This is fucking hilarious
Bingo
Somewhat unrelated but… can anyone define "rich"? How much money before one is deemed rich? Where is the line drawn between rich and non-rich?
Here's a couple of good starting points for the line:
if you have to sell your time/labour for money, you're not rich.
if you can take a day off and not need to tell anyone about it and not lose money because of it, you're rich.
That's a really poor metric, because that encompasses many salaried jobs.
But yes, it's ultimately just about whether or not you are selling your time for money, or if you have acquired enough money to exploit the labor of others to make yourself more money without doing anything yourself.
Most people with salaried jobs are not rich
That's what I'm saying.
Is your main income through capital or labour. That simple. Always been.
Bought the gov means you're rich.
It's more vibes-based than anything else
Nearly got bingo with FOSS apps. Specifically used to avoid paying big corporations (Spotify, Netflix, google)
Woah look at me I just donated to Postmarket OS in response.
how can it both work by stealing stuff from the internet and not work? Does it work or not?
Down voted to hell but whatever.
Xmanager it installs spotify patched without ads and premium features, the same as using revanced really. Its been cat and mouse for a long time but its pretty much down now.
Similar for the manga apps. They constantly get formed and taken down.
Invidious for YouTube is another example. Great when these things work but they need constant patching and fixing. The average person can't just pick them up and use them.
Well those get taken down by the big corpos, not really the developer’s fault. Really, the fact that they are FOSS mean it’s much easier to fix issues as lots of different people can contribute, and where you mention apps that get taken down and formed again is only possible with FOSS apps (i.e. forks)
FOSS programs that don’t involve piracy are perfectly fine though (libreoffice, inkscape, kdenlive, linux, among many MANY others), they all work wonderfully
Hella bait!
how do they only work for cis white dudes? is it a fleshlight that refers to its user as a man?
Do fleshlights not work on black people?
They do not 😞
I may have forgotten that part, um... mame it activated by the reflection from skin and ignore the condition that removes skin pigmentation
Shoot. Maybe someone's card is in the right order.
Destroys well-paying jobs has been a major public issue since the mechanical loom was invented in 17whatever. I like mechanical looms. I think there's varying opinion even on here about which squares are actually bad and which are just whining.
