  • A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?

    Jump

  • I believe the problem is that people feel entitled to a job with a six-figure salary just because they paid for an expensive college education. College has this air of excellence.

    But then, reality sets in. Knowledge is nice, of course, but practical experience is key. You need to know how to act in the real world.

  • I don't know why you're being downvoted but that's a legitimate reason. Unfortunately, Microsoft Office has a total monopoly of the office market so incompatibilities are bound to happen with alternative Office software.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • There could be multiple factors. For example, I have a Nextcloud instance that is fully managed by Hetzner, and I didn't bother to find out what database it uses...

  • Is there a Fediverse version of Onlyfans?

    Jump

  • OnlyFans' purpose is to make money from your actions. The Fediverse is the antithesis of that. It's run by donations, not corporations. Therefore, it will not exist.

  • U.S. suspends visas for Palestinian passport holders, officials say.

  • The United Nations no longer deserves to be hosted in the United States. As the country becomes more authoritarian, the country has lost that right. It's time to move it elsewhere.

  • Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing

    Jump

  • The Fediverse is the way. In this Financialised capitalism, capitalist platforms will continue to be enshitified as they only tend to shareholders interests of continual growth. They do not care about humans.

    We need to keep this momentum going.
