Meet Narhem, a hacker news user claiming to be an ex-googler that is having their life ruined due to harassment in the form of downmarseys, and has been threatening to become an active shooter for months over it (the account is 7 years old, I only looked at the comments from the past few months).

All the relevant comments have been "killed" so you will probably need to have showdead on to see them on HN

Easy posted on hacker news and they just downmarsey me. The kind of response which makes me feel extremely reasonable being an active shooter. Thanks assclowns.

Keep being "off" and your heads are going to be responsible for your children getting murdered by another school shooters.

Like when companies harass me and label me a part after hospitalizing me.

Y'all better be right because I'm going to shoot up the presidents. Final officer. Touch me down vote me and I will murder people and the buttholes associated with the pleasing will be murdered.

Is this the news trying to make me feel like I didn't get screwed over by racist white people who have to realize that in another 5 years I can own a gun. And will shoot up the near by university because of what I've had to deal with. Especially considering every time I complain it gets worse.

As an extrovert who has been effectively isolated I feel sick that companies literally make a game out of isolating people in order to make corporate slaves.

Worse than actual slavery.

Completely unrelated but I'm pretty tired of companies grouping up to harass me, and most importantly excited to hang their employees.

As someone who has had my computers hacked by what I assumed was a google employee then harassed by numerous other companies, the US should have a panic button.

Bother me or any kids again and whatever organization you work for should be punished. It's not okay for people to sabotage relationships with autocorrect.

This is extreme Nintendo Derangement Syndrome.
A rare illness that causes a weird hate obsesion with a company, to the point they would literally ruind their own lives.
Many people suffer from this rare condition.

Every fricking time you want to download something, there's the ritual of pretending that you probably want the source code to compile it on your own system. Do any of you r-slurs even know where this comes from?

In the 1970s-1980s you'd be working on all kinds of hardware, and this is gonna blow your fricking toddler minds, but it wasn't ARM, it wasn't even x86. Actual businesses were using mainframes through this era, not using Apple IIs to do bank transactions and control manufacturing equipment like the latest Netflix "documentary" might have told you. Again zoomer, the weren't using mainframes because they were cave men. These were extremely sophisticated with multiple processors running multiple tape drives and hard disk platters carefully synchronized for maximum utilization. My dad probably did more work at CDC than you'll ever do in a lifetime.

They came in many kinds. You had HP (they were the good ones), Unisys, Sperry and Burroughs before they merged into Unisys, DEC, etc.. You had workstations (a concept a zoomer will never understand) running weird proprietary versions of UNIX. It was the fricking wild west. Everyone had a legitimate need for the source code to adapt it to their hardware and their operating system.

So back then you would download the source code and tweak it to fit your own system. In 2024 this is not an issue. But they still go through this ritual of offering you the source code and giving you dead links to people who might have compiled it once. You fricking butthole, delivering the product to the customer is your job. If you can't (or don't believe in ) doing that, then please announce that the world that FOSS is something you use sometimes but you rely on proprietary software.

I cannot tell you how fricking enraged I am when I see "source" as the first choice on the download page. This is like somebody saying they were on LRRPs, in Vietnam, they were the first Egyptian/Israeli to cross the canal in 1973. It's stolen valor from people you've never met who did this before you were born. This was way way way before you were even born.

I'm anticipating a lot of "but Linux can do that!" I just want to cut a few seconds out of a fricking video file but apparently there is no free front end to FFMPEG. So I go to get FFMPEG to do it from the command line . It's fricking insane, this should have been available 20 years ago. I go to these individuals' website and they offer me the source code. So that in 20 FRICKING 24 I can compile it and then figure out how to get it actually available on my command line. It should be easy, right? Getting Java classpathes straightened out is easy.

Maybe I come from a different background. My dad and I were trained in the "get shit done as fast as possible because time is money" mindset. Every time you midgetdicks make people click on something, or teach them click on something, that costs time which costs money. You think it doesn't? Go to the girlboss running IBM HQ in Manila with hundreds of staff. Making really shit software that wastes peoples' time adds up to pissing her off really fast which adds up to your company losing contracts. Which... Oh yeah, I guess in your generation you don't fired. You get an additional therapist to help you navigate the challenges of managing a huge corporation when you're totally unqualified and don't really give a shit.

Anyway, frick you. At this point I just want to fish with my old man.

From the article:

Elwood Edwards died Tuesday at the age of 74 following a long illness. He worked at 3News for many years as graphics guru, camera operator, and general jack-of-all-trades, yet it was a somewhat random opportunity in 1989 that earned him international fame.

That year, Elwood received $200 from the then-unknown America Online, merely because his wife worked at a predecessor company. He was asked to simply record four voiceover lines:

"Welcome"

"You've Got Mail"

"Files done"

"Goodbye"

IT tards coping about outsourcing

Recently Canada Life outsourced their whole IT to India, then a few months later my friend was layoff from Skip the Dishes as their outsourced their customer support to the Philippines, now today me and 30 others were also layoff from our IT roles as it will be also outsourced to an Indian company as well.

Not against outsource companies but you should be allowed to outsourcing to local companies

I will try to find another job in IT but I am very disheartened with the industry overall, sorry for the rant, I hope we all find success in our careers

People have been saying AI stealing jobs isn't just Artificial Intelligence, it is All Indians.

As long as it looks like security, it doesn't matter if it's cheaper.

The actual crazy thing about it is that literally so many breaches have been directly related to outsourcing IT overseas. It blows my mind that any company would do it given the risk of not having the ability to directly hold responsible parties which have allowed for these incidents to occur.

To be honest most of these companies are just playing with fire because it's not if it will happen it's when they will realize that their data is routinely funneled out of their company.

Sad state of affairs very likely related to the fact that at least in the United States companies that have a breach are held to virtually no accountability by the government outside of potential lawsuits.

Not to be sorry for the rant - I see the same trend here in Europe and it looks good on the initial presentation but in the long run it's frustrating for everyone incl endusers.

But who cares, right?

At least I see some companies now trying to get people back but these jobs are jot fun as just in the sandwich to be yelled at… sorry no answer from me:(

Someone call the EEOC oh wait they don't care about yts

My company has been pushing the non-Indians out of the company slowly over the past few years. Indian colleagues have been given promotions, new hires are all Indians. Some of them are very hard working and talented, however there are also some questionable new hires which seemed to have faked there way through the hiring process and have no idea how to do anything.

These are all just the top comments.

I suppose, as a man, I should feel exultant in the power of my gender to dominate women and flout the rule of law. But I just feel like garbage.

"Drooling fricktards" is being polite. "Fascist scum drooling fricktards" is more accurate. On the right they literally think that all democrats are worshiping Satan. To believe that Democrats are worshiping Satan requires someone to be a "drooling fricktard", but to vote for someone like trump means you have to also disegard every bad thing he's done, and also history and how fascists have come to power in the past, or they are just into fascism and prefer that kind of thing.

The Democrats lost because many voted for Jil Stein, didn't vote or voted for Trump! Why? Because Democrats fully supported Israel's slaughter in Gaza, done by an ultra fascist government in Israel. That's why the Dems lost. And Trump won.

And the rise of anti intelllectualism in the USA continues to rise.

The rise continues to rise

He has not won yet. Perhaps there may be a last minute change.

It's objectively true that the US stock markets are at an all time high. It's also true that MAGA wrecked our economy from 2016-2020. No one can predict what will happen with the markets, but I'm selling every stock I own.

An important win for social conservatives and free speech. 2016 wasn't enough and seemed to only to inflame the left's desire to stamp out wrongthink and unperson people for heretical speech.

There's probably better slapfights but I'm not reading all that shit

The Mozilla Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the Firefox browser maker Mozilla, has laid off 30% of its employees as the organization says it faces a "relentless onslaught of change."

When reached by TechCrunch, Mozilla Foundation's communications chief Brandon Borrman confirmed the layoffs in an email.

"The Mozilla Foundation is reorganizing teams to increase agility and impact as we accelerate our work to ensure a more open and equitable technical future for us all. That unfortunately means ending some of the work we have historically pursued and eliminating associated roles to bring more focus going forward," read the statement shared with TechCrunch.

According to its annual tax filings, the Mozilla Foundation reported having 60 employees during the 2022 tax year. The number of employees at the time of the layoffs was closer to 120 people, according to a person with knowledge. When asked by TechCrunch, Mozilla's spokesperson did not dispute the figure.

This is the second layoff at Mozilla this year, the first affecting dozens of employees who work on the side of the organization that builds the popular Firefox browser.

Mozilla is made up of several organizations, one of which is the Mozilla Corporation, which develops Firefox and other technologies, and another is its nonprofit and tax-exempt Foundation, which oversees Mozilla's corporate governance structure and sets the browser maker's policies.

Much of Mozilla's work focused on advocating for privacy, inclusion, and decentralization of technologies, and "to create safer, more transparent online experiences for everyone," which ultimately benefit the browser maker and its users.

Announcing the layoffs in an email to all employees on October 30, the Mozilla Foundation's executive director Nabiha Syed confirmed that two of the foundation's major divisions — advocacy and global programs — are "no longer a part of our structure."

After publication, Borrman told TechCrunch that "advocacy is still a central tenet of Mozilla Foundation's work and will be embedded in all the other functional areas," without providing specifics.

The move, according to Syed, is in part to produce a "unified, powerful narrative from the Foundation," including revamping the foundation's strategic communications.

"Our mission at Mozilla is more high-stakes than ever," wrote Syed in an email to staff, a copy of which was shared with TechCrunch. "We find ourselves in a relentless onslaught of change in the technology (and broader) world, and the idea of putting people before profit feels increasingly radical."

"Navigating this topsy-turvy, distracting time requires laser focus — and sometimes saying goodbye to the excellent work that has gotten us this far because it won't get us to the next peak. Lofty goals demand hard choices," wrote Syed.

Syed, who joined the Mozilla Foundation in February, previously served as chief executive at data journ*lism and investigative news site The Markup.

All politics aside, I just hate Donald Trump as a person. I'm tired of hearing about him. I'm tired of hearing day after day after day about some stupid shit he did or said. I'm tired of seeing ignorance, racism and fucking nazi flags. This is our country, not a reality TV show.

If anything the commenters are arguing that people aren't stressed enough by the election.

Jesus, I must be taking crazy pills. We've been hurtling by "reasonable disagreements" for decades and now one of the two possible candidates for president is talking about immigrants "poisoning the blood of our nation" and using the military on the "enemy within". That is neither hyperbole, nor exaggeration, nor straw man.

I consider myself fairly well-informed, and no amount of coping mechanisms can change material reality. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

This article is weird. It's not like the issues the extreme right wing are no longer hypothetical - they're completely visible and have been for awhile. People have been dying because of the policies and actions from Republicans for awhile now, such as abortion laws as just one example.

It kinda feels like telling LGBTQ not to be anxious in the 1950s, or women not to be anxious when the Taliban were taking over the government in Afghanistan, or certain minorities to not be anxious in the Weimar Republic.

All this comment needed was a reference to Star Wars to have ticked off every trope.
