That is cool as fuck. Nice job

It was probably a mix or "I don't get this" and "I don't feel like it".

Him "quitting" was because the other option was being fired and persecuted for falsifying safety documentation. He never actually did the tests, it was impossible to do so in less than a week, much less the day he claimed to do it in.

I worked as a tester for an embedded system, and there was a whole team of us. Our work was handed out in these big 3cm thick packets of testing sheets, with tables and graphs and instructions on how to test the system to make sure the code was safe for production.

A coworker was evidently not wanting to do his work one day, and "finished" a packet the same day it was handed to him. Now a single page of those tests could easily take you a half hour, assuming the arcane instructions were even clear to you. And miraculously, every test was a pass, which was really strange because projects at that company typically had to go through dozens of rounds of testing before we'd be done.

He "quit" before the next day.

Tbh I accidentally downvote posts here on there with my fat thumbs on mobile. May not be malicious.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

It's already got 4 PRs

According to Star Trek lore, WW3 will begin in 3 years, and last for 27 years.

Buckle up.

Keeping users siloed in Facebook’s garden shouldn’t be seen as a win for us.

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. If people hadn't federated with google's XMPP back in the day, google wouldn't have had the same level of control it had to kill XMPP as a competitor.

We need to learn from the lessons of the past, and the past has resulted in the deaths of services when federating with corporations.

And for those that don't:

Don't federate with corps, it will only end badly

Enshitification isn't solved by voting with your dollar. If it did, the printer market wouldn't be the shit show that it is. You can't vote for the good if all the manufacturers mutually agree to only produce shit. Only regulation will keep them in line.

(inb4 "brother is better", I am aware that brother printers are generally better, but they are far from good.)

As to why a Scientology-owned group would care about such a matter, 404 Media suggested that it could have to do with Scientology E-meters, or electropsychometers. The Church of Scientology describes the machines as an "electronic instrument that measures mental state and change of state in individuals and assists the precision and speed of auditing" and that only a Scientology minister or training minister should use. 404 Media noted that some people collect the devices and, oddly enough, you can find E-Meters sold on eBay.

"My hunch is that the Scientologists think granting the hacking community permission to dig into their E-Meter software will expose the whole operation as snake oil. The request is like so many other anti-Right to Repair arguments: Manufacturers are afraid that access to repair materials will expose some of their other dirty secrets," Chamberlain said.
