I can understand smuggled hardware, but it’s not like Russians can buy their localized App Store in India… it would be much more helpful if they weren’t running it there, as the smuggled iPhones would be just bricks

Wait apple is still operating in Russia? Weren’t we sanctioning them or something?

I have never watched it and probably never will- I’m sure it’s a great movie but the twist is one of the most spoiled in internet history :(

Nothing is ever truly original, everything you create is a remix of things you encountered after they are processed by your subconscious. And that’s ok. Even if your song will end up to be very similar to another one it will be your own spin on the musical “idea”. Go for it

I’ll be honest, I do research companies and aim for ethical employers and all that, but

1. the job market is fucked, techies come a dime a dozen nowadays - anything you apply to the competition is fucking fierce so you can’t really afford to be picky

2. I care about how ethical my employer is, but not enough to be chocked in debt or live paycheck to paycheck without affording a single luxury in my life. I’m talking “eating out once per week” here, not yachts.

Disengage, mostly.

I’m good at tech stuff but I hate 99% of the work that I’m good at, so i just treat it as the revenue source that it is and try not to think about it too much.

If things in my life had gone differently I may have had to mine coal somewhere to get my paycheck, so overall it isn’t that bad.

The idea of getting paid to do stuff I enjoy is buried there with the rest of my youth delusions.

Sorry, rounding error

Communism tried hard to save the world plenty of times, but every time those pesky capitalists in the Supreme Soviet, in the CCP and in all the other communist governments had to ruin it for the poor people 😤

Anybody in the world who isn’t Russia says that, guess everybody is CIA then.

I guess the real CIA is the friends we made along the way.
