  • I do the same as @jaschen306.

    Probably not the same life story, but I started as a Neuroscience PhD escapee (I was pressed by my supervisor to p-hack our results) and at the time, around 2012, this was an easy career to shift to from a scientific background.

    I work more specifically in tracking implementation, and you should all become aware that for one year the ToS for the Google Marketing Platform have now allowed the use of browser/device fingerprinting for user identification aimed at remarketing, etc.

    I am trying hard to go in-house at a company to work in BI, which is something I would be able to do, but not at the level of other people, since the marketing industry has accepted rejects like me setting the bar very low in order to have an army of people feeding Google and the others people’s data.

    But the alternative for me is to be jobless AND careerless.

    I suggest companies to evaluate Plausible and Piwik Pro as a solution, but the people they are as marketers have stopped being marketers more than a decade ago, they are just inside jobs planted by Google et al., and they regularly disregard the alternatives.


  • I am a wanna-be coding data analyst who has decided to start directly in Codeberg, more because of anti-US than anti-AI sentiment.

    I have 2 questions for everyone more experienced than me and in general more knowledgeable of the market dynamics:

    1. How far is Forgejo/Codeberg from feature parity with Github?
    2. I don’t see any public SaaS/tools connecting to Codeberg as they are with Github. Is this by design or is it due to lack of reception? And, in your opinion, what would be a kind of service/connector that would really change things if made available for Codeberg?

    I tried a game that came free with my GOG account years ago, MagRunner.

    Overpopulation, huge zaibatsu that is into digitizing people and they develop an incredible new technology in space: MagTech! Magnetic technology!

    I guess the devs were being tongue-in-cheek at the time, but now it’s not funny anymore.

    Terrible Portal wanna-be, by the way.












  • From the entry for “zaibatsu” on Wikipedia:

    Under the Allied occupation after the surrender of Japan, a partially successful attempt was made to dissolve the zaibatsu. Many of the economic advisors accompanying the SCAP administration had experience with the New Deal and were highly suspicious of monopolies and restrictive business practices, which they felt to be both inefficient, and to be a form of corporatocracy (and thus inherently anti-democratic).

    The only difference? The zaibatsu actually diversified their operations.
