okay but can’t this just be explained by women statistically being the ones who prepare the food, so they already salt it to their tastes before it gets to the table?

Seems like a bit too many fish for that tank?

Breaking News: Moldova no longer CIS!

huh, based onion

Feliz Navidad

Wow look at Mr. Accepting Parents over here being allowed to have any sort of self-expression in their room. Some of us had to draw the shitty fanart at school and hide it at the bottom of their bag forever, or else our parents would bully us for it 😤

Aw man, spoiled the surprise of their sweet new balcony garden 😞

Today’s the day when too many emails end with “sadly, this is not an april fool’s joke”. Already had my fair share of them today as the coworkers are freaking out about the attack on axios (they’re a day late, but I guess I wasn’t in yesterday to alert them…)

Ugh I feel ya. Been applying for new Programming jobs and they all ask for some kind of interest in AI. I’ve just accepted that it’s something I’m gonna be lying about from now on. Got an interview on monday where the game plan is to insist that I can’t go in depth about my AI experience because I found a crazy new way to make it much more accurate and predictable (it’s called programming by hand)

Drink a lot of water and get up because you really need to pee

There’s this app called Too Good To Go, where you go to a food place and just get whatever they want to give you. Much less embarrassing, but you’d still be expressing desire to get any food at all (cringe)

Cozy soft place to sit and some nice art, this is a good space by my book.

It’s actually looking pretty good, I’m no longer the one paying rent 🐎

As a woman, I can tell you it’s because it’s unfair. You should be wearing a bikini too to make it fair 👍

I’m calling AI slop on this one. Why are there beans stacked on top of the can on her head? And why do the background cans look so out of scale?

I mean, I agree with the fact that it’s fun to know the basics to software engineering (just knowing the words in a coding language is kinda useless by itself) but no one’s building their own alternatives by themselves. The field is too vast. Find your specialty and contribute to open source projects.

Are you sure? I’ve been just dumping my files into a folder and Jellyfin manages fine. If it’s music, you only see the files in your “songs” tab though, not in any of the other ones. Slightly annoying since there’s no Multi-Select in the Songs tab if you want to add them to playlists, but you can definitely access them just fine

Your momma is such a bad programmer, she gets compiler errors when writing Javascript

My Github Actions configurations will bankrupt entire continents

Random side tangent, my favourite coworker got fired last year. The real reason was that she was unhappy (manager has been promising a change to a team that isn’t as dogshit as mine, but not delivering on it) so her output of code was pretty low. It took a year for the company to actually go through with the firing, and since “not delivering enough output” is not a valid reason for firing someone here, they had to give “the company does not have enough money to pay for you” as a reason. They gave her 3 months of paid leave (that’s the agreed duration for notices of termination, anything less would have been illegal) and wanted her to sign something that says she’s okay with being fired. She was smart enough to not do that.

Because she could prove that the company did have enough money to pay her (they re-filled her position almost instantly) she could have sued to be re-hired. Well, she went back to the company and was like “okay, how much severance will I get to not sue you?” and she got another 15k on top of her paid leave. It was a pretty good deal. Oh, and she also got an excellent recommendation letter, because you can also sue a company if they say anything negative about you in their recommendation letters (there are lawyers specialized in finding hidden dog whistles in those letters and suing accordingly).

German worker’s rights really are pretty solid imo. My company isn’t even bound by a union, the protections are much stricter for companies that are. My husband works for a company that voluntarily follows IG Metall guidelines and he got a random 4k/year raise recently just because IG Metall adjusted their pay recommendations. And government jobs are even crazier than that, there are some where you literally cannot be fired whatever you do.
