Why the fuck does Microsoft Teams need local lan permission to make a call over the Internet?

The "learn to code" movement wasn't just for your little cousin who wants to stop working retail. Software tech is mainstream now. All kinds of people migrated to this industry. Especially the people who hold none of your values and are looking for maximum wealth extraction.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

What we see with crypto is that you can massively swindle a huge amount of people in a short time. And so far there are zero repercussions. This is a gold rush right now. And it will attract the kind of tech mercenaries who want to get in on the grift.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

Technology idealists have always been exploited in this way. And as far as I can tell, most of them don't really mind.

It's not just them though. Our space is increasingly flooded with opportunists why don't give a shit about whether the tech is "good".

Universal child care. Universal pre-k. Lower prices for lifesaving drugs like insulin. Tackling the climate crisis. Keeping giant corporations from skipping out on their taxes. Our toes are on the line to deliver bold reforms, and I’m going to keep pushing to get them done.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

The hype isn't about the current blockchain tech. People will flood this space and build things on and around the blockchain. Idealists who believe in all the promises of decentralization. That's what technologists do. And it'll all be taken advantage of by the scammers.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") wrote:

This is true, but also not sufficient. The thing to understand is the hype train has a purpose. It serves to attract money and resources to the cause. So that the work happens to turn web3 into whatever people need it to be.

Blockchain is fundamentally the wrong technology to build distributed web applications that everyone can use easily. We (workers) should try to decentralise big tech, but blockchain aint it.

I'm sure all of the musicians Spotify has underpaid over the years will be excited to learn that their CEO just invested €100 million in a military AI company.

I wish everyone could have the blessing of working alongside a colleague who is as hilarious, as wickedly capable, as enormously generous as the great Brian Williams. It's one of the true honors of my working life to have shared a desk (and so many midnight hot dogs) with him ❤️

@ullemon Jag tror att en av utmaningarna med ett liv väl levt är just att hitta en plats där gräset är precis så grönt som man vill/behöver. Det kommer alltid innebära avkall på saker, men som @fakedansavage säger: "there's no settling down without settling for"

Several litterboxd reviews from people I follow also pointed out that it's very restrained in how it shows Manson. Instead of being like Chris Hemsworth in Bad Times at the El Royale, he's just some guy who shows up once & the movie doesn't draw much attention to his identity
