So much winning still! Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of grifters.

I didn't know Slashdot was still around. I never participated, but read it regularly back in the day.

Slashdot is a cesspool of libertarian tech-bro's who are more than a little fascism-curious, who are certain that they *earned* their station in life on the merits, not because they are white middle aged dudes, and certain that they are fine and don't need to consider organizing a union, because they are so positive that they are uber-mensch negotiators for their cushy salaries.

They blame the woke police as huge swaths of the tech ecosystem is outsourced to India and eastern European countries, and then fantasize how Trump (or Ramaswamy, or DeSantis, or (insert wad of fuck here)) will reverse these trends.

No, they are not looking at the possibility that in 3-5 years, at least 75% of software development will be done completely via AI.

(Sorry, had to get that off my chest, I work in the midst of these assholes, and their cheerleading is tiring to absorb with good humor)

Why are they wasting money and lawyers on this when Dear Leader needs them?

My guess is because Dear Leader told them that NOTHING he or the GOP sends out is spam. (And they're losing money from the spam going to the spam folder.)
