My dumbass opened up this repo full of hope and then realized I can't read any of this XD, I trained in the early 2000s, my first language was Java, I'm pampered as all hell.

The last time I saw assembler was in a bloody history class :P

Mind you, old school game developers were absolute gangsters and gave 0 shits about anything except things working and that's what I appreciates about them.

Understood, $7 CAD per month are heading your way since I use Signal quite a bit.

Hey mate! The animation look doooope, if any of the young animators are interested in the gaming industry and need someone to ask questions from(That isn't trying to hire them or get them to sign up for a course)

I always have spots open for students and indies at my consultancy: https://www.the-lovelace-gang.tech/

Sorry mate! Didn't want to be mean XD, but funny you commented this, because I posted about it on LinkedIn and got like 5 private messages asking:"Should I really switch?" XD, so you're at least not alone and in the company of some pretty fine people :P

Stick a fork in them, they're done. At least with that name they are. Easiest thing would be to disolve, and start a brand new company with the same people.

Don't get me wrong, whether they have or don't have intelligence ties is irrelevant. No one serious uses them, they're a general public supplier, and the general public is about as brave as a gringo cop, i.e.: not much.

So they're about to lose a chunk of customers and Tutanota's leadership isn't exactly quality so who knows what they'll do.

Cheers, you're probably right really. Still, amusing dark web artifact I guess.

I say 5 days, but I tried posting this 2 weeks ago and it got flagged, so this is actually my second attempt :P

Came accross this. Looks more like activism than anything else, nonetheless, thought it interesting. I started watching it and it seems to work fine, but still curious.

Thoughts? Because I'm pretty sure this will last top 5 days before Disney finds the poor fuckers and sue them into oblivion.

XD! Sorry, I was just exagerating :P I'm just moving my personal and companies money around, but because my company operates in several countries, I interact with financial systems a lot, that's why I noticed a pattern.

But like I said in my other comment(which already has 2 downvotes, well done bots), it looks like a fluke, and nothing important.

I took a look at Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/

It looks fine, dark areas are dark, green areas are green.

Still, my antenitas de vinil are twitching, someone, somewhere fucked up I think, probably not important and probably already fixed, but it was a weird one.

Because I just helped a client set-up their Monero and put funds into it, no problem, zilch, smooth as butter.

So are ETH, BTC, and even fucking DOGE.

For a moment I thought that the Serbians had rushed into fucking Kosovo and were pulling a DDOS, I mean... Not the Serbians obviously, but you know.

So yeah, probably nothing, meeting a mate next week in London however, he's BT so I'll ask him if he's seen anything odd.

HA! I remember when my "Programacion 1" teacher sent us this as part of our curriculum circa 18 years ago or so. Good to know it's still going around.

Right mate, so I'm not autistic, but I've been a software engineer for a little bit over a decade, so I can at least help with that.

So, in general, the "harder" the technical work, the less you talk to people. So if you want to avoid the MBAs, suits, bean-counters and other assorted ghouls, look for the "hardest" technical work.

The simplest way, anything that involves complex mathematics like cryptography, finance, big data, etc...

Another good candidate is moving to work on bare metal, so that means working as close as possible to the computer's physical hardware. I'd recommend looking into Rust if that interests you, it's a relatively gentle introduction to bare metal.

In the past I would have recommended AI and Cybersecurity as also good spaces, but unfortunately Wall Street's interest in both fields has made them chockfull of scam artists, under-trained and over-paid technical personnel, and even more over-over-paid executives.

This goes 4 times over for the games industry which is basically untenable as is and would not recommend to anyone at the moment, with the exception of hardcore graphics programming, which is pretty technical and also can be widely applied to several uses like cinema or scientific simulation.

As for the autism bit, well mate, I'd consider where you are currently living. Are you living in a country where your status as someone who is neurodivergent is respected or not?

If you are, then try to connect with resources that might help you.

If you're not living in a country that is friendly towards neurodivergent people, then I can recommend migration. I myself migrated to Canada and I'm perfectly content, although unemployed at the moment.

Canada has an express entry option for professions that are in demand and software engineering is definitely one of them. And I'm pleased and proud to say that Canada does offer both legal protection and actual help to the neurodivergent(although it's not perfect, and mostly good in cities). So please, take us into consideration.

I hope this helps, keep your chin up

OI! Can we get this person cookie?

I remember when it dawned on my poor team lead that they had gone from being a team lead to being alone and in charge of a massive portion of Unity's systems. Just like me, they're an immigrant. However, they also have a family to consider, so what options are available to them?

Being honest mate, it's not much better out there, the games industry is wall to wall owned and operated by mostly borderline-sociopathic MBAs who are as useful as a chocolate teapot and nowhere near as delicious when you bite into them.

It's sad because I've been using Unity since it was only available on MacOS and it used Boo, but hey, c'est l'capitalisme, nes't pas? And already two prospective jobs that were using Unity ghosted me so hard that I know who I gotta call.

So I shrug my shoulders, and keep studying for my third post-graduate[1] that I can barely afford to get more skills so another useless MBA fuck hires me and pays me a pittance.

Oh! And I switched to Godot too, but that was out of spite mostly.

Sign me the fuck up!

Kagi is basically now my daily use search engine apart from Startpage.

The bangs feature, where you can use a quick command to search popular sites like Wikipedia, reddit, Youtube, etc is great, and doesn't count towards your search limit.

And I'm really looking forward to using the Universal Summarizer feature which is included with these new $10 rate.

Keep up the great work lads & lasses!

This was a great read. Appsec does sound like where I should be aiming for the most, and that's an area that I do enjoy. Cheers!

Mate... That had not even crossed my mind :O! I don't have a lot of sales experience, but I used to work at a digital agency, and that thing was just crawling with sales people, I'll phone one up and ask them about it, and mention your comment, cheers!
