Just when you thought these morons can’t get any worse, they do it. Every time.

I feel so bad for recent grads. First COVID then AI/LLMs, it’s such a bad time to be starting out. I feel so fortunate that I’m well into my career and can use AI responsibly without having to worry too much about it.

This is the best description of current AI I’ve seen so far.

Almost at 1.3 million! Make sure to vote if you’re eligible and haven’t already, it’s super important. Fuck these greedy companies.

Yeah that’s why I’m a bit weary of switching to Wayland, so many apps still seem unsupported, or have issues, whereas on X11 everything for me just works. Plus, the two DE’s I’d actually consider using either don’t have Wayland support at all or have very early experimental support (Cinnamon and Xfce) so it’ll still be a while for me before I am able to consider switching to Wayland, assuming everything else works.

I’m not a huge fan of Flatpaks, they’re a lot harder to distribute offline versus something like AppImage. Seriously, you have to like create an offline repository, then create a bundle, and it’s like 6 or 7 steps, it’s honestly kind of ridiculous lol but other than that they seem fine, and they’re easy enough to update (but so are apt packages)

I know some people may say “oh why do you need that”, but Linux has taught me that my computer is my own, and I should be able to use it the way I want to. I shouldn’t have to fight with my package manager to get it to do what I want. So I guess you could say, no I’m not really a fan of Flatpaks.

Personally, I didn’t mind Snaps, but I’m getting kind of really fed up with especially for-profit companies etc so I don’t like Snap that much now either.

Apt packages are nice, but the more of them you have installed, especially if you’re using Ubuntu-based distros and have lots of PPAs, the more annoying upgrading your distro version can be because of all the dependencies and cross-dependencies.

AppImage tends to just work for me, as long as it’s not compiled with a newer libc-bin version than the distro I’m currently using has, and I really enjoy that it’s just one file I can copy and run pretty much anywhere.

I definitely agree that this is interesting, this was a great read!

If you want a computer programming job with them then yeah definitely.

Yeah I was a bit surprised too, they even told me how well I did during the interview and how I was getting stuff right that most of their candidates get wrong, and they made it seem like I should expect an offer from them. I think the dealbreaker was that I hadn’t worked with message brokers before.

It’s Nintendo, did people really expect anything else?

I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.

I got laid off a few years ago, it also took me 5 months to land a new job. I’m better a couple years later but the first year was a bit scary.

You can do like I just did a week or two ago and pay to get an MRI in Buffalo, it cuts the waiting time down to like 2-10 days.

I’m just worried some of them are botted, especially now that we’re less than 100k away from 1m.

5 minutes later and it’s 843k, almost 1k signatures per minute, not bad at all!

I don’t think you’re wrong, and I think the EU petition will go the same way, but it’s still worth signing regardless.

How is that better? If you configure your firewall rules incorrectly, this protects you against that. This ensures you have no connection if your VPN isn’t on/isn’t working.

I mean he already addressed that in his video to be fair lol

Always make sure that QBT uses your VPN’s network interface. I got some DMCA emails despite split-tunneling a VPN recently, and I realized it was bound to all interfaces by default - that’s no good.

Yes because only unethically-produced porn exists…? I don’t get your point.
