Considering this is a thread for people in the process of quitting, I believe Nirvana's "Scentless Apprentice" has an apt retort: "You can't fire me because I quit! Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit.

Well yeah. We collectively figure out that the industry is toxic as hell and quit in large numbers. Then a year or two later, suddenly everyone's hiring with somehow even higher pay than the previous cycle because all the competent peo

I went the opposite way - I worked for smaller companies before going into a big corpo. I will say that the experience taught me a lot about working on a team and also the importance of understanding my own (and my coworkers) limits when it

I quit last year and have just been chilling and working on side projects. The reason I left was because of mandatory RTO combined with a very steep decline in the engineering culture of where I worked. Got tired of having to talk to like f

The US had one of the most restrictive immigration systems in the world up until 1965 and it did not see significant immigration until the 1980s.

Paxton's decision was incredibly narrow (because it specifically targeted sites that served pornography and only pornography) and it's unlikely the court is willing to grant anymore ground.

Most of these "online safety" acts have been sitting around in congress for half a decade at this point. Mike Johnson keeps blocking them because he has serious doubts about their constitutionality (which keep getting borne out wh

The American revolution literally engaged in systemic attacks against British property.

Except cable is the more apt comparison here - broadcast rules exist because airwaves are an extremely finite resource and so we can argue that the government has a vested interest in what kind of speech can happen on them. No such scarcity

>(Surely, the tough 8 GB RAM decision was influenced by the three factors 1. current DRAM cost and 2. limited DRAM availability considerations as of 2026, and 3. the massive Neo market size resulting from its attractive price tag, and th

Discord offered more features. Voice chat was part of the initial sell for the platform, but these days most users don't even use the voice functionality and instead use it for long-running hypermedia chats with retained history.

I don't think Discord is going anywhere, but people always vastly overestimate the power of market leaders. Reddit didn't see a big change in MAUs but it did see massive declines in the amount of time spent on reddit per user and

I think the world would be better on the whole if such people returned home and improved their countries. The US cannot brain drain the entire world for its own benefit.

If China doesn't want or need anything from the West, then why do they kvetch so loudly when the US implements trade barriers?

I mean if we're talking about generations that didn't have enough children to sustain organic domestic economic growth, then China is actually ahead of us there. Their birth rate plummeted below replacement well before the US&#x27

KF is being spammed with CSAM currently to the point where registrations are closed unless the admins are online to manually watch new user regs. Seems to be the new tactic now.
