I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

Need to account for the cruelty and insecurity of management.

Yeah ai search is garbage. It's a lie machine. Fuck everyone responsible for it.

I don't know any of the surrounding context but I think about this poem (?) a lot

"Get off this estate."

"What for?"

"Because it's mine."

"Where did you get it?"

"From my father."

"Where did he get it?"

"From his father."

"And where did he get it?"

"He fought for it."

"Well, I'll fight you for it.

Carl Sandburg, Selected Poems

This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.

I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.

They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I'd keep working on stuff. But they'd rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

const countOfT = (word) => word.split('').filter(i => i === 't').length
countOfT('colonialism')
0 

countOfT('this is an example sentence')
2 

There's probably a more elegant way to do it.

Ah that's interesting. I'm too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn't mind selling.

buying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.

i don't do any subscriptions, myself.

For counting letters in a word? That's like a one line expression in Python or JavaScript (and other languages). JavaScript console is right there in your browser.

I don't want to see any more coverage of trump supporters. They are idiots. Humanizing them makes the problem worse. They follow their peer group. The only coverage should be about abandoning trump and conservatism.

It's funny when you see job postings for where you work. I saw one for where I'm at (a ghost job, since there's a hiring freeze) that said like "join a highly functional team". Lady, this team can barely push code that doesn't have syntax errors.

Side note: posting jobs with no intention to hire (aka a ghost job) should be illegal.

This is the bad place.

It's fucking toilet paper. I don't need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.
