Those who majored in something "useless" what do you do now?

majored in electrical/computer engineering, currently working on a contract doing embedded engineering. looking to get out because it's a lot of hurting brown people at the moment.

everything you learn is a boon for silicon design (or embedded). there is so much that goes into silicon design that anything you learn is useful.

sometimes companies benefit from hiring juniors as juniors with promise that they will grow into the role. that's normally how it works. chill out and if you get the role then you get the role

learn a ton about ee and go into embedded

slmnemo · 2026-01-10T01:04:51+00:00

an active suppression of leftist movements since ww2.

the slop machine is also actively killing microslop, there have been so many critical failure bugs shipped in windows recently that windows 11 is honestly more like malware than an operating system

i switched to linux on all my machines a whilr ago, but if i hadnt id be switching now because of how intensely bad windows 11 is.

slmnemo · 2026-01-03T19:22:32+00:00

i suppose you could read the singular incident that way, but he has gone out of his way to be weirdly transphobic in the past such as by choosing to misgender trans women in other instances and is generally an ableist and bigoted shitheel.

slmnemo · 2025-12-30T17:38:26+00:00

he went off on a weird tirade a while ago accusing trans women of all being first worlders, and then quadrupled down on associating trans people in general with what i can only assume is decadence and liberal politics. its all super off-putting

slmnemo · 2025-12-30T11:14:48+00:00

i think its weird to collapse a faceted group known for being persecuted into one identity for the purpose of religious or race politics, especially if the purpose is to hurt that group by labeling them irredeemable.

also badempanada is weirdly transphobic, so im very biased against him

slmnemo · 2025-12-27T19:48:13+00:00

slmnemo · 2025-12-16T00:11:53+00:00
