Nothing. I have some Kebu on pause in VLC, a bunch of YT browser tabs open with some vids I plan on watching when I get round to them, but apart from a gentle hum from my PC's fans the house is silent.

uBlock Origin has a nifty Zap feature that works well on idiot web developer fads.

You should probably read the book some time. People called him king but it wasn't a title he wanted or requested; the only title he used of himself was "Son of man". He didn't request anyone to lop ears off (and in fact repeately tried to drill into people that the way forward is love) and on the one occasion it's documented he rebuked the lopper and stuck the ear back on. It was the Pharisees and Sadducees that got riled up because Jesus exposed their hypocrisy, and the local leaders originally weren't interested because they just saw it as an internal religious matter, but the P&S knew what buttons to push and that's what got JC crucified. Pilate actually said he couldn't see what Jesus had done wrong.

I hate subtitles; the only time I'll put them on is mmf mmnmm fmm ffmmm. What? Mmf mmnmm fmm ffmmm. What? Mmf mmnmm fmm ffmmm. What? Oh dammit. -click-. When the elocution is so poor I can't make out what they're saying.

So now we know why Graham's Number was invented: to keep track of scores in Polish Scrabble.

The software's not the problem though. Infrastructure isn't free. You can self-host Lemmy off your own broadband for a while, but as your site grows this'll become infeasible. So then you have to host on someone else's hardware: AWS or whatever, and paying a few 10s or maybe a few 100s of currency per month is fine, but then suddenly you go viral and get clobbered with a bill for 50K.

Plus of course there's the time you need to spend working on the service. It isn't paying, by definition, so not only are you not getting an income from it you're also not able to work at something else which could give you an income. This is fine for rich playboys but not for the rest of us wage slaves.

And so you need an income to sustain the service, and thus the descent into enshittification begins. This will only be solved when we get free infrastructure, but how?

That shouldn't make you lose your job though, unless you work in a really shitty place. Own it, recover from backup, bring the account back up to date, then everyone has a bit of a laugh at your expense until next time it happens. Small inconvenience for the customer, who quite rightly complains about it, but they'll get over it. Absolutely not a big deal.

If you haven't got backups then it's not you that should get fired but the backup guy, unless of course you ARE the backup guy.

I didn't get a job I applied for a few years ago for a broadly similar reason. Also they thought (correctly) that I didn't know a lot about web development.

So I was rejected for being simultaneously overqualified and underqualified.

Fuck spez!! !!

So, what you're saying is that white people shouldn't use AI?

I'm British, not American, so I use 7/22.
