I think it's satire, channeling Trump's style of "truthing." At least I hope so.

I used Swappa to buy my last phone. Not certified, but much cheaper. The condition of phones is "graded," and the sellers have an incentive to keep their reputation on the platform high. I had good luck, the one time I used it, at least.

Curious about what time you were referring to when Democrats were better. I suppose they were OK during Obama (ACA was a corporate-friendly solution, there was a huge wealth transfer from the government to financial institutions and corporations, there were tons of drone strikes, and anti-immigration ramped up though). During Clinton they cut social programs significantly, and implemented the draconian three-strikes law.

I've filled out many job applications that require you to paste a link to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes, but large amount of resources are put into controlling and influencing the population. It's a fight, and we aren't fighting back enough. It's my opinion the problem is systemic, and merely trying to be more mindful of consumption isn't going to improve things much (it will improve things some, and people should do it). For instance, there's a good chance those cage-free eggs involved some sort of very low-paid and abused workers. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Yeah, I used aircrack to gain access to one of my neighbors wifi and used it for about a month when I moved into my first apartment. After I got my own connection, I set up a guest network/SSID that was open,

I don't think Harris was progressive at all. She seemed disingenuous, media-trained to be as uncontroversial as possible, and every talking point focus tested. Her major economic policy was to give more money to business owners. I think Waltz is somewhat progressive, and they did put a leash on him. I agree she would've won if she was more progressive, especially if she focused on policies benefiting labor.

Available jobs are below the worse time during COVID, and I'm pretty sure the number of CS grads has greatly increased (but couldn't find a good chart).

With infinite popups.

Liberal three-percenter lore?

I mean, I do think non-violent disobedience can be effective, but the state usually makes it violent. State sanctioned protests where most obey most of the rules isn't disobedience. Is a good start though, and I hope things progress (in a good way).

So much more than an init system though, which I think is why people don't like it. Personally, the only annoyance I have is I preferred log files over journald.

Israel, Iran, or the US?

 

I'm limited to 24GB of VRAM, and I need pretty large context for my use-case (20k+). I tried "Qwen3-14B-GGUF:Q6_K_XL," but it doesn't seem to like calling tools more than a couple times, no matter how I prompt it.

Tried using "SuperThoughts-CoT-14B-16k-o1-QwQ-i1-GGUF:Q6_K" and "DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B-GGUF:Q6_K_L," but Ollama or LangGraph gives me an error saying these don't support tool calling.

 

I'm curious if it's just me or not. I'm an SE with 10+ years of experience, mostly in full-stack with a wide variety of languages and stacks, and my last title was at the "staff" level. I'm almost 40 years old; not sure if age discrimination is much of a thing (my interviewers have been mostly around my age or younger). I've been looking for a job for months. I've been applying to just about every job posting where my skills match on LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter (mostly just the Easy Apply option lately, so I can send more applications out). I've even been applying to positions that just require 2+ years of experience; I'd take any job (except defense or big tech). I've probably sent something like 400 applications out at this point. I've gotten a few interviews, and think I did OK, but I guess not good enough since I was still rejected. Is this normal?

The last time I was looking for a job (2021), I only sent 20 applications out, and landed a job on my first interview. I also tried Upwork for a couple weeks, but wasn't able to land any contracts. I think everyone there is either looking for very cheap devs in the developing world or rockstars with tons of contracting experience and large portfolios.

Just found this group. Thoughts? Anybody heard of this before? I've already been "striking" on my student loans so it does sound like an interesting group, lol.
