And that too.
Bandcamp’s U.S. employees, who launched a union that went public earlier this year, announced early in October that they had sent a letter to Songtradr outlining a list of demands around the sale of the company
JFC, brutal response.
They just laid off half their staff
Edit: after they got bought out. Hooray capitalism! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/half-of-bandcamps-staff-laid-off-after-songtradr-acquisition/ar-AA1ijuTX

FFS lol, why don’t we skip the pedantry and just call it Gary already
Facebook is that way, boomer
It is a shame that The Silent Generation were not able to pass on their knowledge and experience to the current batch of misguided Millennials, Gen Y, Gen X and boomers
They would have, but the Silent Generation (born between 1928-1945), born and raised in a period of extreme mass unemployment, starvation, and death in the form of the Great Depression (1929-1939) followed immediately by World War II (1939-1945), took out their trauma on their Boomer offspring, so any lessons or messages they might have been trying to convey were lost in the cacophony of abuse. Keep in mind their parents, the so-called “Greatest Generation” (1901-1924), also survived the Great War (1914-1918) prior to that and already had a really warped view of the world. That’s a lot of generational trauma heaped onto the Boomers, both directly and indirectly.
Those fuckin Boomer kids suffered through some pretty horrific abuse; they never stood a chance, man. It wasn’t at all acceptable to talk about mental issues or even entertain the idea of asking for help (a norm established by their Silent Gen parents), so as they grew up they just buried that shit and went into eternal denial mode. Worse, they reinforced their fucked up worldviews by abusing their own kids, the Gen Xers and Millennials, who in turn passed on that same generational trauma to…sigh, you get my point. I mean, each generation does seem to get a little better at shedding that old toxic “stop complaining / fuck you, I got mine” mindset, but it’s a slow process. Look at how far-reaching that shit is, FFS. That “Greatest Trauma” period was a hundred years ago, and we’re still suffering from the effects.
TL;DR they were incapable because trauma
Not like it matters since you’re a tankie and all you want to do is sow discord by shitting on the “libs” and the west," but the rebuilding of Lahaina threatens to permanently displace everyone who lives there, and not just the 10% of the residents who happen to be indigenous. Do you know anything about the place you’re using to push pro-Russian (and, ironically, its denial of genocide when committed by communist countries) propaganda? Lahaina is full of poor people, you ignorant fuck. The entire town of the 13,000 is not only poor, but JFC, they are now homeless and mostly jobless because the fire destroyed everything. That town is totally fucked, man, and you’re using its suffering to rile up and disenfranchise more people for your pro-Russia bullshit? Fuck off.
Like I said, you don’t give a fuck about the people who live there, and you certainly don’t give a fuck about actual genocide - especially genocide that is happening right now. So get fucked and go post your fascist recruitment garbage elsewhere. And tell your Hexblyat buddies they can go eat shit too.
*illeagal home . weird they always left the important part
Well, that changes everything. You know what, they should just shoot them!! They aren’t human anyway.

You don’t even need to click their profile to know it’s a HexBlyat troll.
They’re joking. It’s the “I use Arch btw” meme
Programming I really don’t see myself doing but I do admit having some curiosity towards python, going for years, but I really don’t know where to start to approach it.
You’ll probably want to start small at first (random number generator, calculator, tic-tac-toe), but eventually you could create an app that would help you with your business. IDK, just thinking out loud, maybe inventory management or a system maintenance tool?
My background is not on STEM and I was always passed the notion that without roots in hard math I can’t go far in programming.
I made that mistake years ago and have always regretted it. I mean, I’m doing just fine now, but that fear of math really did me no favors in life. I really wish I had pursued a CS degree.
You’re telling me “graf” is standard language for published articles?
And its unabbreviated form, “nut graf.” Like, it’s a legit thing. I mean…wow. Nut graf.
For availability, yes, but RAID is not a substitute for proper backup procedures. E.g. - offsite, cloud, or automated scheduled local backups, or even regular data integrity checks.
Ah, ye old Bee Bee Esses. Sadly, I missed the boat on that…I was definitely old enough and technically capable, but I didn’t know they existed. I hear you though, my first real exposure to the internet was Gopher! You could find all sorts of stuff out there, like in people’s shared directories, but more importantly, MUDs! Damn near flunked out of college because of them. Fun times, though! The internet was so much smaller back then.
I’ve seen posts already asking where to find lists of communities to join
I have seen a lot of that, too, but I view that as a plus. I mean, you have all these people wandering around here, asking for directions to the equivalents of all their old digital gathering places, but they are engaging. Like, actually having conversations and building camaraderie and all that jazz that happens when you build a community, and that’s just awesome to see, man. Where we all come from wasn’t like that at all; smaller subreddits aside, it was like shouting into the crowd at a frickin Kid Rock concert, y’know? The atmosphere wasn’t exactly conducive to conversation. Not to say good conversation was impossible in big threads; it happened all the time. But it was always just so frickin loud and obnoxious in there, ya know?
And now we have this new space, and its newness is forcing people to talk, and…ah fuck, I forgot where I was going with this. Um… Reddit bad! Me like Kbin! Or something. Have fun with settling in, and I mean that sincerely.
Alligator. Chewier than chicken. Tasted kinda like chicken. Would try again, I guess.
Also had ostrich burgers a couple of times. I’m told I was shitfaced and enjoyed them immensely, but I couldn’t tell you for sure, for I was shitfaced.
