It’s not that we’re uninformed, it’s that we disagree.

OSS’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944 (declassified)

Good memory, it was the precursor to the CIA.

OSS’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944

There’s a link at the top for the full pdf. And do note, OSS is Office of Special Services, the WWII precursor to the CIA - not Open Source Software lol.

Subterfuge at work, a fun subject to study.

Some of my favorites from a declassified WWII “simple productivity sabotage” manual:

• Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

• Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.

• When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.

• Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

• Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

• Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

• Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable"and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

When I first saw these I was like goddamn, psyops got to my executive director!

I read about some smart tvs computing a hash of what’s on screen to phone home about, in attempt with figuring out what content a user is watching when that content is 3rd party controlled.

We need some privacy laws up in this mother fucker.

No I hate MS. I won’t ever forget the pain that was developing edge cases around Internet Explorer (fuck IE 6, that shit was the worst).

stupid clear background thing

In web design that’s called a modal.

Dead at 3am? They’re already eating your face.

Fucking gyrenes, where’d all my crayons go?!

They’re things on the road that take you to your abode.

“And there’s really cool people here!”

Get me a bucket, I’m gonna fucking puke.

It must smell so horrible in there, with all those brands (farts) mixing together.

And living this way isn’t new there, either, it’s an “evolution”.

I can recall a story over a decade ago about google employees renting uhaul trucks to live in, parked on the google campus parking lots. The same article also followed some engineers who were illegally living in rent-a-storage spaces.

So compared to that, it makes these pods look like luxury living, even though they’re all pretty depraved.

Being a software dev myself, I’ll gladly take a lower salary in a low cost-of-living city if it means I can own a house (and not be mortgage poor, either).

A speaker has never been ousted, either… till now.

If you buy OEM laptop, how would you sell subscription windows with it?

Not the term limits, the donations. The supreme court already rule via Citizens United that money is free speech, which is how PACs and dark money became legal. So to undo that, either the court has to reverse it (yeah right), or there has to be a constitutional amendment (which even the SC can’t overturn).

Ms. Smith, who has not begun the wedding business or posted the proposed statement for fear of running afoul of the law, sued to challenge it, saying it violated her rights to free speech and the free exercise of religion.

So she was previously selling “design” services, just not specifically for weddings.
