I really don’t trust BlueSky. I feel like they call themselves federated as a marketing gimmick to convince people they’re better than every other corporate social network, but they’ve deliberately set it up so that 99.9% of everything is going through their central server anyway. And it frustrates me that a lot of people have bought into that lie. Fediverse has been here delivering on everything BlueSky promised to be and did so long before BlueSky even existed, and yet no one cares because BlueSky had the venture capital to push a bigger marketing campaign.

Unfortunately, people jumping ship from BlueSky still aren’t coming over here. So I don’t know what to make of this news really, I know it doesn’t mean what I wish it would mean.

I saw a positon labeled Junior Developer, looked inside, and it asked for five years of experience.

I’m starting to think my bachelor’s degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

You’re telling me PPMD wasn’t a real MD?

I begrudgingly put up with Puyo Puyo Tetris back when it was the only way to officially play Puyo Puyo in the west, but it is the worst thing that ever happened to the franchise. Only thing I hate more than the game itself is the impact it had on the series, because Sega has done nothing but lazily rehash it four times. It’s been a full decade since the last proper main series game and there’s still no word on when or if we’ll ever get another.

The practical difference is that the code is there for whoever wants to use it.

So? It’s not like upstream should have to accept everything every fork does.

What do you mean “never contributed back”? All of these projects give their source code back, as the GPL requires.

I got my degree in CS a decade ago, but wasn’t able to get my foot in the door finding any entry level position in the field. Had to give up and work a shitty unrelated job elsewhere, but after letting it drain my my soul for too long I’ve spent all year searching again. But no matter how many resumes I fire out into the void I have yet to get as far as even a single interview. It still feels like my degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. The only thing recruiters want is 5 years of experience in some technology that came out 2 years ago, and I can’t get experience because I don’t have experience.

Sturgeon’s Law states that 90% of everything is shit. This applies to anime just as much as it applies to every other medium.

Just watch the 10% that isn’t shit.
