Or as Andrew Carnegie showed, be somewhat less of a piece of shit just before you die.

Kinda ironic that a young Matthew McConaughey is the archetype of this.

That means that at best being a CEO of one company is a 20-hour-a-week part time job.

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•You don’t see articles like this about moms with two jobs who still manage to take care of their kidsEnglish8·21 hours agoThe reason a CEO gets paid what they get paid is that they also sit on the boards of other companies and vote for the compensation packages of their CEOs, who also sit on the board of the CEO’s company. It’s literally a circlejerk.

July is disability prideEnglish11·1 day agoI used to work for a beloved cable company whose name rhymes with “bombast”, and they made damned sure that our iOS apps met federal accessibility requirements. Because they faced $1 million dollar per month fines from the FCC if the apps failed accessibility testing. Otherwise they would not have given two shits about blind people.

I kinda wonder if they’ve reached a point where they think their control over the political situation is so unassailable that they can just openly admit everything they’ve done. Unfortunately, I’m not sure they’d be wrong if they did think that.

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•the war on computationEnglish6·2 days agoI’ve been writing software synthesizers for Windows since the Windows 95 era. The low-level audio API for that (sometimes called “waveOutX” and “waveInX” was a pain in the ass to deal with programmatically but once you figured it out it worked very well and totally reliable. I’ve been continuously amazed (and secretly happy) that for the last 30 fucking years they’ve just kept bringing that same exact API forward. Even Windows CE/Windows Mobile had that shit in it in the early '00s, which let me get my code working on PDAs and the earliest smartphones. Every attempt Microsoft has made to replace this API has somehow managed to be much more difficult to work with and simultaneously buggy as hell.
I think MS actually used to have some capable engineers (one of them who helped develop the waveOutX API I actually know by name, Larry Osterman) but they all fucked off with their tens of millions of dollars in stock options decades ago and what’s left is a disasterclass.

Lol like that’s even possible in Windows. I can’t remember the last version I had where the “Power Off” option actually worked. I still just hold down the physical power button until I hear that click.

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•the war on computationEnglish38·2 days agoMy recent (unwanted) update changed the lock screen to this weird format where the two-digit hour is above the two-digit minute instead of next to it separated by a colon like normal people use. I keep setting it back to what I want but this weird over/under format keeps coming back. Some fucking douchebag of a UX/UI designer thought this was a genius new way of showing the time and now it’s being jammed down my throat.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.worldto Memes@sopuli.xyz•Would you rather unionize or buy some videogames?English1·2 days agoNo, I’m saying that if you didn’t have union-negotiated healthcare, the $700 you would have instead to spend on health insurance would only get you an extremely shitty private plan. I know this because I currently have great union-negotiated healthcare but prior to that I had the extremely shitty private plan.
They didn’t even write unit tests!
