Which way does the staircase go? In this famous 'Endless Staircase' optical illusion, it's impossible to tell if the stairs are ascending or descending, leaving the observer thoroughly perplexed.

TIL you can "get gnomed" when using Linux.
A combination of installed packages can cause GNOME desktop to spontaneously appear on your computer.
There's even a whole subreddit dedicated to it.

Nah, even with all the layoffs - the industry is much bigger than it was just a decade ago. We just grew too fast during covid.
Unionization will help, but i doubt we see mass unionization and I don't think it is required. The CWA is doing good work but the uvw-cwa - seems a bit unhinged to me.

Happy New Year everyone. I’ve been pretty quiet the last six months, but I posted this message on LinkedIn late yesterday just to give everyone an update. I’ll put it here just to make sure it gets around

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...
