  • Exactly, and accident in aviation are never because of one factor but rather multiple of them, and Murphy's law.

    Handling an engine flame out is ok. But in reality it might be an engine flame out + icing conditions + OVC008 + non precision approach + windshear on short final.

    AI pilot would have quit the seat a long time ago, leaving the self loading flesh bags at the rear alone.

    ATC here and the only time we consider an aircraft safe is when it's at the airport. That's why slots exists. As annoying as they can be, better have the aircraft on ground at DEP rather than holding to wait for the thunderstorm to pass.

  • Maintenance day is when I log into my server once every 3 month because I forgot it (as everything is working fine).

    But I just discovered OpenSuse microOS, while looking at the docs for my laptop Thumbleweed, and now I want to try it with no real reasons. Maybe it is just an excuse to buy a new Raspberry pi.

  • Also, air traffic controller here with most of my mates being airliners pilots.

    We are all tired and alcoholic, it’s even worse among the ground staff at airports.

    Good luck on your next holiday 😘

  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

    Jump

  • So, The Handmaid’s Tale. I’m believing in that one as well and said it many times during the last decade, but I believe it will end like in the movie Civil War. Although I also believe the world will strive without the US, creating new green tech and be centered around Europe, Asia and LATAM being friends and trade partners.

  • Air trafic controller (Europe, not FAA…)

    It’s honestly a kind of dream job as I work around 2 weeks a month, have 7 weeks of paid vacation + I can call in "unfit to work" anytime with no question asked. We often work 2 to 4 hours less than the official time we are paid for. We get paid health cure and the job is not that hard or stressful when you are good at it (I’ve done it for 15 years, it’s like a second nature now).

    The pay is very good, around 100k (€/$/chf, it’s basically the same) at entry level and around 220k after 20 years of experience. I’m at 150k for a 80% part time contract.

    The only downsides are the working hours, 24h a day 7 days a week which gets tiring as you age. And that much money for not much work makes me lazy, not being at risk means I’m not making efforts to gets better. I dream of being an independent worker, working from home or anywhere in the world on my framework 13 by making creative work, but I’m not pushing hard for that dream as everything is ok with my life and job.

    I know, that’s totally a "1st world problem" and I’m not complaining at all. It’s just that being too comfortable in something does not push you forward.

  • [Don't post / link] Anyone remember this traumatizing dashcam accident video?

    Jump

  • A French horror youtuber (Feldup) talked about it, saying the same thing as you (do not search for it, do not watch it).

    But from his description what I understood is:

    The passenger was the wife, the driver the dad and behind them were the kids that you can hear crying and dad telling them not to watch.

    Anyway, don’t watch it. I stopped scrolling on /b the day I saw a woman getting killed. Looking for this kind of stuff is bad and makes people feel nothing when confronted with human misery and horror, that’s not a skill you want in life.

  • Canary Islands (Spain) because it is one of the best climate in the world. Always mid, average temperatures are around 20 degrees so winters are nice and summers not too hot. + you can go to the beach every day and it is Europe so you’ve got EU quality of life.

    But I wont do it. Canarians are dying because of tourism, AirBnB and nomad workers. They can’t pay rents, there’s water shortages and too many old retired fucks from UK or Germany unable to speak Spanish and owning 25 apartments to short term rent. Fuck them, I wont be part of the problem.

    So next solution is staying home, which happens to be one of the best country in the world for quality of life (Switzerland), so that’s not too bad. Food is not the best but France and Italy are less than 2h away by train.

    I just need Tokyo to be a 2h train ride as well (for food yeah, again) and that would be perfect.

  • I work on the apple ecosystem too, but it came from my tests of making an hackinstosh on an old Lenovo.

    It then discovered that I could use the same tools with the same shell language, doing the same tiling WM etc etc, all of that on an always working OS that I didn’t need to debug when shit got wrong (I was using Arch, BTW).

    From then on I always work on 2nd hand refurbished macs. My daily desk tool in an m2 Mac mini and this thing is amazing. Linux is now only present on my server and gaming PC.

    But maps are on organic maps, not apple 😉

  • FFS, today when you look for something on start page or any search engine you get YouTube links or AI shit from non related websites.

    • Video game solution? Check my 30 min video.
    • Tech problems? YouTube and AI telling you to update drivers and reboot, on a website named sport-something.

    At the time you could put Reddit on your search but we all know that won’t be a solution anymore, plus, because of people like me most of Reddit results are now a chain of deleted - deleted - deleted messages 😄

  • I really like the "thermal runaway thing" expression, and yeah it is a false equivalency but it’s a funny one.

    EV charging and the tech around it can be slow today, but it doesn’t mean we should abandon and go back to what we know is working (as some people want to). This is a recipe for zero innovation and not the way to become a Star Trek like civilization.

    In my city there are electric buses that charge in a few seconds at some stops along the route. No overhead wires, no big diesel engines and no noise.

    We just need to work and improve those new vehicles, find better than the actual EV and combustion engines as well.
