Seeing how much people moving from twitter to here complain about minor inconveniences really sheds some light on why IT corporations spend millions on UX and then milions again on advertising their UX.

As I attempt to go back off grid for the first time in decades, this time with a family in tow, I'm struck by just how much the solar, and by extension renewable energy, industry has changed.

What once was geared towards people living an alternative lifestyle is now centered around making yuppies in the suburbs believe that they're saving the world if they grid-tie some solar panels on their roof and charge their Tesla at home. It's populated by "business managers" who are only interested is seeing how many shoddily done jobs they can slap up in a short amount of time who mask that fact by pretending to care about the environment to their customers.

I have yet to have a positive interaction with anyone in the industry about actual self-sustainability. They just don't care. It's all so....corporate and phony now.

This is a real disappointment in my current life. Can't even drop out of society effectively anymore.

Old format, but an accurate depiction of my morning's attempt at deciphering the comments in my python script.

I don’t know why I ever try to read near future technothrillers. I work in tech and often can’t stomach the exaggeration and hyperbole of the real industry, let alone when the absurdity is turned up to 1000 in fiction. They might as well be fantasy.

End rant. 😂

David Lynch's Dune (1984): From model to screen

Frank Herbert wrote a few books about Twitter. It's the story of a young gifted man who uses his power to get revenge over his lost pride by assuming the position of a messiah and taking over the galaxy.
Bad things happen and he's hated by everyone until he goes to die in the desert. Don't blindly follow charismatic leaders.

The dealer offering a free hit, is it? 😆

If I can’t see how many likes each post has, how will I know which scientist to agree with?
