About katzinsky
I've worked for multiple startups and three large publicly traded tech companies. I am currently in the process of monetizing one of my side projects.
I'm technically homeless since I live out of a vehicle. I can more than afford rent I just don't feel like I get the appropriate value out of my money.

I have some unpopular views (some are extremely controversial.) When I post I sincerely mean what I say (sometimes I'll write bombastically because I understand how bizarre they sound in our neoliberal context and I kind of enjoy the surrealism of it.) I am here for good faith arguments, not just to poke at people. I for one still believe in the utility of the dialectic and public discourse although that seems to be a dying belief.

If you pay enough attention to metapolitics it will ruin most media going back as far as the 70s even. Asimov himself was a communist and it shows in a lot of his work. I try to ju…

As someone with a sailboat who sails just about every week (since I live on it and have to keep moving) I'm also having a pretty hard time understanding this one. In high winds rem…

I can't imagine having bought one recently enough to have it still working. Those things are such garbage.

My main complaint is that on Firefox on Linux anyway they actually steal the mouse position along with keyboard focus. So if you're using something like instagram's IM it's really …

Good riddance. As someone who still had third and even fourth places now I can focus on those.

Given some of the other scheme-like features GNUC has it's surprising they're lagging on this one.

I don't think you're interpreting those statistics correctly. Most Americans can agree climate scientists think the climate change is man made while still thinking we don't have an…

Jailing old ladies for voicing criticisms online isn't a symptom of good government.

It's very clear the future of the US looks like something between Mexico and South Africa if we don't outright have a civil war. I'd live too if I had somewhere to go.

>Curious as to moral in the Boeing division right now. As long as the paychecks don't bounce they're probably more worried about their individual KPI than the actual results.

Man I miss PDAs. My dad worked for 3com so I had a palm since about when I learned to read. I was early with smartphones because I thought they'd essentially be PDAs with a modem (…

I think you should really ask why you want to be here. The "tech scene" is really all online. I've lived in "tech hubs" and it's not what it looks like from the outside. Unless you…

They're jealous of the platform Apple has created where they can sell the users rather than sell software to them. This requires cryptographic hardware like the TPM. Obviously it's…
