woah holy shit a bio?

  • In my experience? If you are going to do the formal classes and work that lines up with a certificate, might as well do all of it and get it. It can't hurt.

    At the same time, there is no real reason a cert is better than experience. It's more of easy proof of the date that you learned the technology, so it stuff has changed it's easy to show you the new stuff.

  • Heh.

    November 6th, 2024 c/nottheonion "Puerto Rico decides election, most polls say Trump's blatant racism was a final straw."

  • Ok so like serious note: you do realize when people have a conversation, typically we don't act like assholes on purpose. I'm starting to wonder if trolling isn't somehow related to a mental illness. I mean you put a lot of effort into simply ignoring what I said, insulting people, and finding a way to feel superior.

    I hope you don't interact like that with people you see everyday. I'm worried for you bud, there's plenty to joke about on the internet without being a joke yourself.

  • Because you clearly don't live in the rural Midwest where everyone and their grandma has plenty of towing capacity.

    I don't personally like trucks, but an electric truck is far a more environmentally friendly choice than literally every other truck.

  • I mean he could have bought a Lightning.

    No, he bought a Cybertruck. That's why they are laughing.

    Nothing to do with the electric truck.

  • Yup.

    I don't know why. The people marketing it have absolutely no understanding of what they're selling.

    Best part is that I get paid if it works as they expect it to and I get paid if I have to decommission or replace it. I'm not the one developing the AI that they're wasting money on, they just demanded I use it.

    That's true software engineering folks. Decoupling doesn't just make it easier to program and reuse, it saves your job when you need to retire something later too.

  • It's a week before the election. Mark my words, he WILL shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any voters.

  • That's exactly what I said without saying it.

  • People like choice, but people don't want to have to spend time choosing or learning.

    That's why I mentioned Arch - because of the tie in with the Steam Deck. Nice and easy for gamers to make a connection to.

    What becomes the difficult sell is that people, in general, don't understand computers. It's the bane of my existence. Any Linux distro requires a basic understanding of how computers work. The Windows PC and Apple products were successful because they required no learning and the user was relatively protect from messing anything up.

    The Steam Deck was successful because it took that same approach. It just uses a variant of their Big Picture mode users are already used to.

    Linux, by it's very nature, is not something that can be widely adopted by consumers. I think that's why Apple and Windows (hell, even Google with Android and Chrome OS) can get all the invasive technology to the user they want, and force users to adopt even more invasive things. Because people just won't learn anything else. And that's not something any of us can do anything about.

  • I have a crazy idea.

    What if y'all get together, and make a guide on an easy way to switch to idk Arch, since Valve is working with it.

    You know, so that they don't have to spend a lot of money, and don't have to worry about losing all their data, and hopefully so they don't have to learn everything about Linux so they can enjoy using it right away.

    Ha, I almost believed that was realistic rereading it.

  • He's a money guy. Appearing completely neutral and an open question benefits him based on his availabile information. If that changes either way, that is when we will know.

    Basically he's a coward.

  • Can we have a real talk?

    I want them see how well they work together in extremely stressful situations... Get Kamala, Walz, AoC, and maybe uh, Sanders playing HELLDIVERS II!

  • People who lead boring normal lives.

    Most people who own consoles I guess the

  • Weird. My employer is stupid strict about open source. I suspect it's because we contribute a bit.

    Open source is usually preferred from a security and time to evaluate and implement standpoint, but it all needs to go through review to ensure we meet every licence agreement. This process can be annoying for some things and closed commercial products are used instead, who will happily sign business agreements in exchange for cash.

    Because this was such a barrier to open source adoption, they actually implemented a process of cataloging approved open source software allowing projects to get the correct licenses arranged quickly.

    Tech firms have no reason to abuse open source licensing, unless getting sued is cheaper than the software, which I suspect is largely not true, it's just also expensive for the developer. Maybe we need some sort of union-like organization for open source developers with special commercial licensing that they can contribute union-like fees to for suing these shits.

  • Jesus that's a lot more than I would have expected.

  • You know, I always wondered where the professionals ended up in Elysium. Like there are the medical professionals taking care of the earthlings, but the life saving machines are in Elysium so they aren't needed up there.

    But like, what about the software folks? Like there's an epic shit ton of software going on in that movie that just kind of gets handwaved.

    Passification is handled by robots and crazy humans. Other than the one executive who comes down, where are his direct reports? There is no way he was interested in the factory management, that would be a middle management job. And then what about accountants? Researchers designing the tech on Elysium?

    It never really made a whole lot of sense that Elysium was just the rich. They can't just "get" everything they want up there, it had to come from earth.

  • Regardless if he takes office or not, I fully expect political violence. That is what this rhetoric leads to.

    I suspect it won't be nearly as bad and nearly as pervasive if Harris takes office. But it will still happen. That's what happens when you have idiots being enflamed by this sort of rhetoric. They see a jihad. That's the endgame of ultraconservativism. Blind adherence to the authority. Be it a person, or an imaginary entity.

    I have a son I need to protect. I have friends to protect. I don't know what will happen, but we can't pretend this will all be ok.
