I always called it a sweat jacket.

Yes! Thank you! That’s what i was looking for.

Although, yeah, Ramsey definitely has had his share of controversy, so I listen to the episodes with a grain of salt.

Yeah, I tried a few episodes. Couldn’t really get into it for some reason. Maybe I’ll try again.

Was it ever for jobs?

Been an active user for well over 5 years and not one interaction has resulted in a job.

A bunch of people acting like they were hiring, sure.

Inspiring Philosophy lays out the whole issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei0gPoqx_bQ

I know it’s age-blocked due to some of the content, so if anyone knows where to find the youtube-alternative link that would be awesome.

It’s not easy, but I used to be in the “we need to make everything fair” crowd.

Now (currently unable to afford groceries myself) I’m part of the “if I’m not getting paid my worth, I must show my worth.”

It’s a blessing to be at a company where you can share that info. Looking for work now, but that’s one thing I’m looking for…a company that’s open enough to share how I’ve impacted the overall business.

How has me working here financially impacted the company? What can I do to help the company become more profitable?

Yup, start by running nvidia-smi to get the details on your Nvidia. Then install pytorch. The rest is up to you!

Social security never made any sense to me anyway. Why not just make the economy healthy so that people can save into old age? Perhaps invest a little into financial literacy so someone doesn’t blow all their savings in Vegas when they’re 45. It’s frustrating the the government’s like, “You can’t spend that money. We don’t think you’re smart enough to plan for the future, but we’re ethical enough we’ll keep it for you and return it to you when you’re old and grouchy.”

Hm…I’ll consider this. I 100% believe in self-hosting, but I’ve had to compromise lately. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yup. Once you’re a $5/mo / $10/mo member, then you can profit share.

I’ve seen that site occasionally. I’ll consider it. The only downside is that I already have a medium audience so I"d have to rebuild my audience. But I’ll consider it. Thanks.

Oh, no, I don’t have to pay to submit articles. I’ve already published dozens of articles. It’s just that in order to participate in profit sharing, you need to become a member: $5/mo or $50/yr.

Yeah. It’s been a struggle these past few years. I’ve been getting creative to find any source of income, but it seems like no matter what I try I always hit a wall. But I found out I have a new contract starting soon (🤞) that will definitely cover costs for a while. This season is critical for me, and I often check my priorities often. Thanks for the encouragement.

They basically want more data points on people to sell to advertisers.

It’s big tech. That’s how big tech works.

Yup, try the #UnionizeTech tag on Twitter or Mastodon. I’m trying to raise interest.

So far there’s a call, but nobody’s taking action.

On my part, still trying to find work to afford groceries, so I don’t have much energy to spend on anything else.

Thanks! Sorry to hear you don’t get any weather action. It rains a lot where I live, but rarely thunders. And they’re typically “blink it and you miss” type storms.
