In a survey of University Professors, 31% of Florida respondents said they have applied for a job outside of Florida since 2023. That number was 25% among all survey respondents in the South.
71% of faculty in Florida who were surveyed said they would not encourage a graduate student to seek employment in Florida.
Reasons: state policy on tenure, elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and cost of living.
Ieri sera si parlava di cinema horror con alcuni amici al circolo e, come al solito,
mi torna in mente questo capolavoro.
I primi due film versione giapponese (in entrambe le versioni) mi hanno letteralmente terrorizzato...
e ne ho visti parecchi di film horror nella mia vita.
Qualche anno dopo ho scoperto questi corti, l'inizio di tutto,
e ho capito che il regista era già partito molto bene, a mio parere.
Da vedere assolutamente se non l'avete mai visto.
Bravo Takashi Shimizu!

What about not attacking successful indiegames for setting "unrealistic expectations" and instead direct your anger towards the encroaching consolidation of the industry that affects big AAA studios as well small indie outfits.
Tired of the gaming press pitting indies against each other, instead of calling out their big sponsors for sucking up all the resources while delivering half a billion dollar of unplayable slop.

George Carlin said in "Carlin on Campus" (1984):
"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"
Your challenge is to apply this formula to age, and fill in the blanks:
"Have you ever noticed that anybody older than you is _______, and anyone younger than you is _______?"

I recently inherited my parents’ old iPad 2. It had iOS 9 on it and was barely usable, in part due to how slow it was but mostly because of old SSL certificates and apps stopping support.owen-blogs

This will be interesting every time UK government rounds up people and throws them in jail or arrest them. More people will show up at the next demonstration.
What’s next? I think they are going to have to put a fence around 10 Downing St. and declare everything on the other side of prison.
England will prevail!
Stop Killing Games
Pirate Parties International supports the
Stop Killing Games Initiative.
Let people keep playing the games they bought!
Provide gamers basic consumer rights.
Give clear notice before shutting down a game.
Offer refunds when access is removed.
Provide offline play or patches when servers close.
Be transparent about data use.
Protect game history and preservation.
Recent commentary by a Youtube games vlogger named “Pirate Software” misstates these aims. The Stop Killing Games Initiative was created to foster an open, inclusive, and democratic dialogue around the future of gaming culture, policy, and rights. Pirate Software’s portrayal distorts these core principles and risks undermining the credibility and positive aims of the initiative.
These recent portrayals of the project are misleading and risk creating division. The initiative’s true goal is to protect consumer rights and ensure game preservation. It is meant to be an open conversation, not an attack on game developers.
We want to build a positive movement. This requires collaboration between gamers, developers, and publishers to find fair solutions. Our focus is on digital rights, transparency, and clear policy.
We urge the gaming community to focus on these core principles. Let’s work together to build a future where games are preserved and gamers’ rights are respected.
The Stop Killing Games Initiative is, and must remain, a space for empowering the global gaming community through collaboration, openness, and respect. We call on all stakeholders to reject divisive or harmful misrepresentations and continue building a future where the voices of gamers everywhere are heard and respected.

Gazzetta del Cadavere reshared this.
a year ago i asked some friends 'do you know any product jobs in climate tech that aren't about greenwashing, or trading carbon credits' and it was 'uh not really'
anyway, today i am very glad i ended up where i did because if i had to live through *all of this* while *hating my job* (or having none, which would have meant i couldn't stay), it would have been much, much harder.
if you've recently lost your job, i'm sorry things suck, i've been there, don't be afraid to reach out for help, sympathy, connections.
there is nothing wrong with *you*. i had to remind myself through the constant rejections and ghosting and bad fits: i'm like a very unique restaurant serving a very specific cuisine that i like. some times in my career i can adjust it to cater to a broader audience. sometimes you have to do that. but not everybody will like what you're cooking.
webhat reshared this.
the best career advice i got was, somehow, from my immigration attorney.
he was like, 'there are tens of thousands of product managers in this city. tell me in a few words why what you do matters.'
anyway, that advice helped me get a job i like (i am a product manager with private and public sector experience, who builds great software for critical services in mission-driven orgs); and get my immigration status sorted (i am one of the few people who do this type of work who also have global experience on how to think about AI and its impact on people and society).
unfortunately, this hellscape demands that we all clamor to put a stake in the ground to show why we are special. tech especially has changed and isn't 'you can have a job if you can touch a computer' anymore.
like with many things about the hellscape, asking for help, reaching out to people, making connections if possible, are things that help. i understand it can be challenging for some people.

AI enhanced psychosis is not a great thing.
AI Psychosis sounds like a sci-fi problem, but it is real, and present tense.

This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces.

How Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks
How the world’s largest encyclopedia became the factual foundation of the web, but now it’s under attack from the right wing, tech billionaires, and AI.Josh Dzieza (The Verge)
reshared this
here's my favorite line: "By 2005, the pages where editors stipulated policy and debated articles were found to be growing faster than the articles themselves. Today, this administrative backend is at least five times the size of the encyclopedia it supports."
I've always argued that the tools we build at the WMF sometimes are too focused on "encyclopedic content" and neglect the fact that the MediaWiki platform is used 5x more often for the meta-work of administering the project. Collaborative tools are important for organizing the work, even if they are not used directly to write the encyclopedic content.
