    • Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish

  • OSS’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944 (declassified)

    Good memory, it was the precursor to the CIA.

  • OSS's Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944

    There's a link at the top for the full pdf. And do note, OSS is Office of Special Services, the WWII precursor to the CIA - not Open Source Software lol.

  • Subterfuge at work, a fun subject to study.

    Some of my favorites from a declassified WWII "simple productivity sabotage" manual:

    • Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
    • Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
    • When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
    • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
    • Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
    • Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
    • Advocate "caution." Be "reasonable" and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable"and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

    When I first saw these I was like goddamn, psyops got to my executive director!

    • Permanently Deleted

  • I read about some smart tvs computing a hash of what's on screen to phone home about, in attempt with figuring out what content a user is watching when that content is 3rd party controlled.

    We need some privacy laws up in this mother fucker.

    • Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode

  • No I hate MS. I won't ever forget the pain that was developing edge cases around Internet Explorer (fuck IE 6, that shit was the worst).

    • YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

  • stupid clear background thing

    In web design that's called a modal.

    • Ron DeSantis appears to be wearing extreme heel lifts and is having trouble walking in them

  • cough

    • It's not in their nature to let me rest

  • Dead at 3am? They're already eating your face.

    • i hate that it's very often like this

  • Fucking gyrenes, where'd all my crayons go?!

  • TempleOS has entered the chat.

    • San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code

  • They're things on the road that take you to your abode.

    • San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code

  • "And there's really cool people here!"

    Get me a bucket, I'm gonna fucking puke.

    • San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code

  • It must smell so horrible in there, with all those brands (farts) mixing together.

  • And living this way isn't new there, either, it's an "evolution".

    I can recall a story over a decade ago about google employees renting uhaul trucks to live in, parked on the google campus parking lots. The same article also followed some engineers who were illegally living in rent-a-storage spaces.

    So compared to that, it makes these pods look like luxury living, even though they're all pretty depraved.

    Being a software dev myself, I'll gladly take a lower salary in a low cost-of-living city if it means I can own a house (and not be mortgage poor, either).

    • Senators warn House Republicans that a more conservative speaker wouldn't make their dreams come true

  • A speaker has never been ousted, either... till now.

    • Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

  • If you buy OEM laptop, how would you sell subscription windows with it?

    "SomeShittyAntivirus free for 12 months with purchase of this laptop!"

    • Gaetz says he'd support raising motion-to-vacate threshold if GOP enacts Democrat’s reform plan

  • Not the term limits, the donations. The supreme court already rule via Citizens United that money is free speech, which is how PACs and dark money became legal. So to undo that, either the court has to reverse it (yeah right), or there has to be a constitutional amendment (which even the SC can't overturn).

    • Supreme Court to consider whether Americans with Disabilities Act 'tester' can sue hotels for non-compliance with the law
