We've spent 30 years putting software into everything, and everything is worse now than it was 30 years ago. I feel like these two facts may somehow be connected

"'Only A-players can hire A-players,' says the company, and you know that it is staffed with A-players because its most recent Team page (since removed) was made up entirely of young dudes and an AI-enhanced HR dog named Hurin who 'enforces 7-day work week & remote ban.'"

Oh, I didn't mean to shame anyone who can't make it for good reasons like yours! Apologies if it came across that way.

What I would say to anyone who is on the fence about attending a #NoKings protest tomorrow:
You've been wishing all year that there was something you could do.
This is something you can do.
It's nice if you want to make a sign or put on a costume, but you're not required to do those things. You contribute just by showing up. The only cost is your time.
You don't have to have any expertise in protesting. Just listen to the organizers and follow the crowd. You contribute just by showing up.
You've been wishing there was something you could do.
This is something you can do.
Will you?

Before you add an AI-generated image to your blog post, have you considered saving even more time and just putting “YOU CAN STOP READING NOW” in 120 point text

In my experience academic records can only consistently tell you one thing about a person: how much bullshit they are prepared to put up with to get ahead

My high school and college academic records were both excellent, and this process still sounds like a nightmare. If *I* would flee screaming from it, I’m not sure who it’s intended to find

"Explain." OK.
1) No Firefox fork is doing large-scale engineering work on the browser. They're all small teams whose main contribution is things like different configuration settings. If Mozilla dies, these forks will all die too.
2) Some forks consider it a feature that they keep old, insecure APIs Firefox itself abandoned because they could not be secured (NPAPI, XUL, etc.) Mozilla could not secure these APIs; forks aren't going to be able to. Most don't bother trying.
3) You're still running on Mozilla code, so your trust model still includes Mozilla. Now it just also includes a third party. Do you trust them? Why?
