I have been laid off from every job (5 in total) since the pandemic. We are a subhuman commodity. Companies that are hiring now are exploiting the market by offering lower salaries.

Meta and Amazon are in their hiring season and they'll start their layoffs again next spring or summer. And somehow, everyone forgets this fucked up cycle keeps happening in perpetuum.

We need to stop being afraid of mentioning the U word. We need better protection and rights as employees.

Engineering is a skilled trade. We need our own union like every other skilled labor group.

It's a shame that they won't just release macOS as a standalone product, even if it requires specific hardware to run. I would pay for it in a heartbeat.

I was actively into the Hackintosh scene in the early 10s. You could have an insanely powerful build (albeit the parts had to be compatible), and it would still be half the price of a lower end Mac Pro.

Have you tried VPN?

That's by design. uBlock is blocking ad and spyware network requests. It's common for sites to crash or error because of this. They'll depend on a call to Google or Sentry or DataDog to succeed before continuing with their initialization. As a platform engineer for several web properties, I die a little inside every time I see this happen.

My work blocks all kinds random software, Firefox included. My workaround is using Brave browser and a service like NextDNS either as an app or as the DNS provider for my home network. It's not perfect but it's flexible enough.

There are only 3 reasons employers force RTO: control, real estate, impending RIFs.

My current solution is a deemix cli tool and lidarr for cataloguing only. I match up the directory naming conventions on both so that nothing needs to be touched in Lidarr that might modify the tags. I have a few scripts that help with automating some of this. I might be motivated to put things in a repo if there is interest.
