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…

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 pa…

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 importan…

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 cult…

>These are broadly popular The idea is broadly popular but the second you start asking about implementation details (ie showing your ID to post on the web), the actual approval per…

>You can know we have the right to set strict regulations, and also object to driving smart hardworking people away from your country for no reason. But the crux of the problem is …

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.

>bad only for the countries that suffer the brain drain Except those countries continue to decline and eventually become a global issue. India is on the cusp of a water crisis whic…

You mean like EU Chat Control?

Given your username, you're not going to like the answer to that question.

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 anymor…

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 …

Keep up with that rhetoric. I'm sure it will go well for you come election season.

Then offshore the work. Americans aren't getting the jobs anyway and the imported labor now competes for things like groceries, gas, housing, etc. which drives up prices.

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…

>(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 ma…

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 lon…

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 i…

Good. Secular declines in consumption from the US would be healthy.

They're not really a thing in the US either, outside of people trying to engagement bait on social media.

ASML is a Dutch company.

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.

USB3.2 is almost twice as fast as SATA. If you want extra storage, get a USB-C or thunderbolt external drive.

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