Google doesn't just provide links, it scrubs content out of sites (with scripts before, now with LLMs) and presents it as Google's own content.

If they do that, they should be responsible if the content break laws.

Hard agree on the salary difference bit. I changed carriers a year ago and my salary is about ~1.3 of an average national wage, and I don't know what am I supposed to do with all this money.

There's also "A Half-Built Garden" novel where the whole "git as means of direct democracy" is central to the plot. Is gitpunk a genre?

That's not a tip, love. That's a leading question. Making a 100 bait comments an hour is easier than constructing one coherent one, I'd still recommend the latter. More satisfying 😛

Consequences of a social network being authoritarian are limited to the platform and, therefore, not a big deal. Whatever effects it has, leaving is simple.

The insults are not required. Whatever creed you think you're defending, not a good look sweetie.

I mean it is funny, but there's a chasm between government censorship and whatever xitter is doing.

If you take him at face value, he's a:

1. developer -- no way a PM can deal with AI code directly

2. senior/mid level -- since he was a team lead at some point

3. reviews and revises AI code all day

Leave him alone, the man is already in a hell of his own creation

If a bloke supports stripping of my rights, why would I respect his? Let him see what it's like. May be he'll learn a lesson, or at least be an example for others.

Enough of the "they go low we go high" bs, you can't defeat fascism with civility.

Applies even more to modern Russia..

From what I gather, asbestos is also very stable and not reactive. Asbestosis is caused by tiny fibers physically tearing your lungs.

It's unlikely that plastic is as dangerous (we'd seen it by now) but its buildup can likewise cause some condition.
