You know those people had scales, but they absolutely refused to use them

i thought the problem with the joose was that it’s like milligram quantity doses, so you need like a 0.1mg scale at least, and those are several hundred dollars.

so like you could weigh 1mg on your 1mg precision scale but you might end up closer to 2mg and well after that it gets all blurry.

looks to me like george is not lazy enough. any code that's not immediately obvious, or does something 'cool' needs paragraphs of comments. I type out whole maths derivations and poo poo as I know that there's a fair chance I'm gonna see this code again in 2 years and won't have a loving clue what it did, let alone some other poor overworked sod who would have to derive that poo poo all over again

the best feeling of all tho is finding a small bug, and realising that it was the cause of one of those magic 'don't remove this!' bits somewhere else and finally actually clearing that little hack up (usually years later)

lol that this dude is telling on himself real hard by ascribing status to senior engineers. every place i’ve worked a senior is someone who’s a step above junior. ie: we can leave you to your own devices for a while and know that you aren’t going to burn anything down

you don’t start hitting ‘politics’ until you’re at senior staff and above. of course he wouldn’t know any of this as he’s never been somewhere long enough to figure it out

That said, lol at his utter disdain for collaboration and communication.

i'm sure nobody was using it

According to musk in the full-length Spaces chat from today Twitter was getting "scammed" something like $13MM/yr from Telcos with SMS fees for 2FA for bogus accounts. He said once he found out about this he told his staff, "any Telco that has higher than a 10% scam rate, cut them off." He said that this resulted in something like 389 Telcos being shuttered from service with Twitter because they were all scamming Twitter. I guess GV was one of these lol

He said he told his staff to strong arm the Telcos into lowering their fees on SMS. No doubt a Trumpian move, break poo poo and threaten to leave until they give you what you want.

they also cut off loving Vodafone but didn’t disable SMS-based 2FA for affected accounts, so those users can’t even log in

iirc users with token-based 2FA who registered Vodafone numbers also can’t log in because they disabled all 2FA prompting, not just SMS sending

old TCC threads are so loving depressing to read. All those permabans :smith:

The news ones are a bunch of people in recovery and are depressing for different reasons. Permabanned user or not that Joose poo poo is wild

It’s kinda like that r/gangstalking subreddit, if you let enough people who need help congregate and have an echo chamber it can produce some unintended results. TCC was a bunch of addicts egging each other on and it went the only way that kinda thing is going to go. And I say that as someone who genuinely loves doing drugs

most likely. just move the potentially interesting threads (DIY hormones, weed horticulture, thread to post stupid things you think of while baked) somewhere that isn't the mass goon death forum and archive the rest. pretty sure it's already a forum that just doesn't show up if you're not logged in like TFR and the gas chamber

one of the bizarro situations of modern TCC is that the DIY hormones thread is there because The Minority Rapport is a dead shell of the forum that koalas march conned lowtax into letting her be sassy gif queen of as a prelude to her failed forums coup so nobody visits it, and nobody wanted to condemn the thread to the slow horrible death for threads that don't fit elsewhere that is CCCC. so instead it got shoved into TCC, where it promptly died faster than it probably would have if it were in CCCC

we're not getting any more good joose grade poo poo out of TCC anymore. it's just burned out opioid junkies who poo poo once per month and consider each of those logs to be a milestone for their continued survival and a handful of good ol' fashioned dopesmokers who live in legal states and own enough plants to give the 70s DEA collective priapism

yeah she casually posted about how she feared for her life when two neighbouring dogs showed up in her backyard so she literally kicked the poo poo out of one and brained the other with a brick. she also posted constantly in the covid thread about how much she hated dogs. the way she told the story had this disgusting veneer of pride for doing it. also the covid thread posters were all reacting to her story with sympathy for how horrible it was that she was forced to brick a couple dogs to death in her own back yard instead of, y'know, going the gently caress inside.

when azathoth got promoted from c-spam moderator to admin a bunch of the people who were sympathizing with her posted in a thread called "anti azathoth alliance" about how he could redeem himself for his sins of being an internet cop by unbanning the dog bricker
